4Mica Rust SDK

The official Rust SDK for interacting with the 4Mica payment network

Overview

4Mica is a payment network that enables cryptographically-enforced line of credit of autonomos payments. The SDK provides:

• User Client: Deposit collateral, sign payments, and manage withdrawals in ETH or ERC20 tokens
• Recipient Client: Create payment tabs, verify payment guarantees, and claim from user collateral when payments aren't fulfilled
• X402 Flow Helper: Generate X-PAYMENT headers for 402-protected HTTP resources via an X402-compatible service

Installation

Add the SDK to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
rust-sdk-4mica = "0.3.3"

Initialization and Configuration

The SDK requires a signing key and can use sensible defaults for the rest:

• wallet_private_key (required): Private key for signing transactions (hex string with or without 0x prefix)
• rpc_url (optional): URL of the 4Mica RPC server. Defaults to https://api.4mica.xyz/; override for local development.

The following parameters are optional and will be automatically fetched from the server if not provided.

• ethereum_http_rpc_url: URL of the Ethereum JSON-RPC endpoint (optional)
• contract_address: Address of the deployed Core4Mica smart contract (optional)

Note: You normally don't need to provide ethereum_http_rpc_url and contract_address as the SDK will fetch these from the server automatically. Only override these if you need to use different values than the server's defaults.

The Ethereum chain_id is fetched from the core service and validated against the connected Ethereum provider automatically.

Configuration Methods

1. Using ConfigBuilder

use rust_sdk_4mica::{Config, ConfigBuilder, Client};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let config = ConfigBuilder::default()
        .wallet_private_key("your_private_key".to_string())
        .build()?;

    let client = Client::new(config).await?;
    Ok(())
}

2. Using Environment Variables

Set the following environment variables:

export 4MICA_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY="0xac0974bec39a17e36ba4a6b4d238ff944bacb478cbed5efcae784d7bf4f2ff80"
# Optional (defaults to https://api.4mica.xyz/ if not set; override for local dev)
export 4MICA_RPC_URL="http://localhost:3000"
export 4MICA_ETHEREUM_HTTP_RPC_URL="http://localhost:8545"
export 4MICA_CONTRACT_ADDRESS="0x9fe46736679d2d9a65f0992f2272de9f3c7fa6e0"

Then in your code:

use rust_sdk_4mica::{ConfigBuilder, Client};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let config = ConfigBuilder::default()
        .from_env()  // Loads environment variables
        .build()?;

    let client = Client::new(config).await?;
    Ok(())
}

Usage

The SDK provides client interfaces for both sides of the payment flow plus a helper to bridge HTTP 402 resources:

• UserClient: payer controls collateral and signs payments
• RecipientClient: payment recipient creates tabs, verify guarantees, and claims collateral
• X402Flow: builds X-PAYMENT headers for X402-protected HTTP endpoints

X402 flow (HTTP 402)

The X402 helper turns the paymentRequirements emitted by a 402 Payment Required response into an X-PAYMENT header (and optional /settle call) that the facilitator will accept. The examples in https://github.com/4mica-Network/x402-4mica/examples model the expected flow: the client speaks to the resource server, and the resource server talks to the facilitator for /tabs, /verify, and /settle.

What the SDK expects from paymentRequirements

rust-sdk-4mica accepts the canonical X402 JSON (camelCase). At minimum you need:

• scheme and network: scheme must contain 4mica (e.g. 4mica-credit) X402Flow will refresh the tab by calling extra.tabEndpoint before signing.

End-to-end client flow

Typical sequence (as in https://github.com/4mica-Network/x402-4mica/examples/server/mock_paid_api.py):

• GET the protected endpoint; capture paymentRequirementsTemplate.
• POST tabEndpoint with { userAddress, paymentRequirements } to mint requirements bound to your wallet.
• Call X402Flow::sign_payment to get the base64 X-PAYMENT header.
• Retry the protected endpoint with X-PAYMENT; the resource server will call the facilitator /verify and /settle.

use rust_sdk_4mica::{Client, ConfigBuilder, X402Flow};
use rust_sdk_4mica::x402::PaymentRequirements;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // 1) Core client (only the payer key is required by default)
    let payer = Client::new(
        ConfigBuilder::default()
            .wallet_private_key(std::env::var("PAYER_KEY")?)
            .build()?,
    )
    .await?;

    let payment_requirements: PaymentRequirements =
        serde_json::from_value(tab_response["paymentRequirements"].clone())?;

    // 3) Build the X-PAYMENT header with the SDK
    let flow = X402Flow::new(payer)?;
    let signed = flow
        .sign_payment(payment_requirements.clone(), user_address.clone())
        .await?;
    let x_payment_header = signed.header; // send as `X-PAYMENT: {header}`

    // 4) Call the protected resource with the header
    let _paid = reqwest::Client::new()
        .get("https://resource-url/resource")
        .header("X-PAYMENT", &x_payment_header)
        .send()
        .await?
        .error_for_status()?;

    Ok(())
}

Resource server / facilitator side

If your resource server proxies to the facilitator (the pattern used in examples/server/mock_paid_api.py), you can reuse the SDK to settle after verifying:

use rust_sdk_4mica::{Client, ConfigBuilder, X402Flow, X402SignedPayment};
use rust_sdk_4mica::x402::PaymentRequirements;

async fn settle(
    facilitator_url: &str,
    payment_requirements: PaymentRequirements,
    payment: X402SignedPayment,
) -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let core = Client::new(
        ConfigBuilder::default()
            .wallet_private_key(std::env::var("RESOURCE_SIGNER_KEY")?)
            .build()?,
    )
    .await?;
    let flow = X402Flow::new(core)?;

    // POST /settle to the facilitator; returns the facilitator JSON body on success
    let settled = flow
        .settle_payment(payment, payment_requirements, facilitator_url)
        .await?;
    println!("settlement result: {}", settled.settlement);
    Ok(())
}

Notes:

• sign_payment always uses EIP-712 signing and will error if the scheme is not 4mica.
• settle_payment only hits /settle; resource servers should still call the facilitator /verify first when enforcing access (see the Python example for the end-to-end pattern).

Recipient Client

The recipient client allows you to create payment tabs, issue payment guarantees, and claim from user collateral when payments aren't fulfilled.

Create Payment Tab

use rust_sdk_4mica::U256;

// Create a new payment tab for ETH
let user_address = "0x70997970C51812dc3A010C7d01b50e0d17dc79C8".to_string();

let ttl = Some(3600); // Tab expires in 1 hour (optional)

let tab_id = client.recipient.create_tab(
    user_address.clone(),
    recipient_address.clone(),
    None,  // None for ETH
    ttl
).await?;
println!("Created ETH tab with ID: {}", tab_id);

// Create a new payment tab for USDC
let token_address = "0x1234567890123456789012345678901234567890".to_string();
let tab_id_usdc = client.recipient.create_tab(
    user_address,
    recipient_address,

    ttl
).await?;
println!("Created USDC tab with ID: {}", tab_id_usdc);

Get Tab Payment Status

use rust_sdk_4mica::U256;

let tab_id = U256::from(1);
let status = client.recipient.get_tab_payment_status(tab_id).await?;
println!("Paid: {}", status.paid);
println!("Remunerated: {}", status.remunerated);
println!("Asset: {}", status.asset);

Issue Payment Guarantee

use rust_sdk_4mica::{PaymentGuaranteeRequestClaims, SigningScheme, U256};

// First, the user signs the payment (see User Client example above)
let claims = PaymentGuaranteeRequestClaims::new(
    "0x70997970C51812dc3A010C7d01b50e0d17dc79C8".to_string(),
    "0x3C44CdDdB6a900fa2b585dd299e03d12FA4293BC".to_string(),
    U256::from(1),
    U256::ZERO,
    U256::from(1_000_000_000_000_000_000u128), // 1 ETH
    1704067200,
    None, // None for ETH
);

let payment_sig = client.user.sign_payment(claims.clone(), SigningScheme::Eip712).await?;

let bls_cert = client.recipient.issue_payment_guarantee(
    claims,
    payment_sig.signature,
    payment_sig.scheme,
).await?;
println!("BLS Certificate: {:?}", bls_cert);

Remunerate (Claim from Collateral)

// If the user doesn't fulfill the payment guarantee,
// the recipient can claim from the user's collateral on-chain
let receipt = client.recipient.remunerate(bls_cert).await?;
println!("Claimed from user collateral successfully!");
println!("Transaction hash: {:?}", receipt.transaction_hash);

    Client, ConfigBuilder, PaymentGuaranteeRequestClaims, SigningScheme, U256,
};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Setup

Error Handling

The SDK provides comprehensive, type-safe error handling with specific error types for each operation. All errors are strongly typed and provide detailed context about what went wrong.

Importing

// Import specific error types when needed
use rust_sdk_4mica::error::{
    ApproveErc20Error, DepositError, RemunerateError, RequestWithdrawalError,
    SignPaymentError, FinalizeWithdrawalError, CreateTabError, PayTabError,
    IssuePaymentGuaranteeError, VerifyGuaranteeError, RecipientQueryError,
    // ... other error types as needed
};

Security Considerations

• Never commit private keys: Always use environment variables or secure key management systems
• Validate addresses: The SDK validates addresses automatically and returns SignPaymentError::AddressMismatch if the signer doesn't match the claims
• Signature verification: The SDK ensures the signer address matches the claims user address before signing
• Use EIP-712: Prefer EIP-712 signing over EIP-191 for better security and structured data hashing
• Handle errors properly: Always handle errors explicitly. The SDK provides specific error types for each failure scenario to help you build robust applications
• Check signer addresses: For RecipientClient operations, ensure your signer address matches the recipient address. The SDK will return InvalidParams errors for mismatches
• Validate amounts: The SDK prevents zero-amount transactions at the contract level, but you should validate amounts in your application for better UX
• ERC20 Approvals: Always approve the 4Mica contract before depositing or paying with ERC20 tokens. Approve only the amount you need to minimize risk
• Asset Matching: When paying a tab or creating payment claims, ensure the asset (ETH or ERC20 token) matches the tab's asset. The contract will reject mismatched assets
• Multi-Asset Management: Each asset (ETH and each ERC20 token) has its own collateral balance and withdrawal request. Use get_user() to view all your asset balances
