Anvil Mesh
Query live data feeds, verify BSV transactions, and discover paid services on the Anvil mesh network.
What Anvil Does
Anvil is a mesh of BSV nodes that:
- Publishes signed data feeds (price oracles, sensor data, any structured data)
- Verifies BSV transactions via SPV with merkle proofs against synced headers
- Accepts micropayments via HTTP 402 — non-custodial, sub-cent, instant settlement on BSV
Discovery
Find a node's capabilities:
curl https://<node>/.well-known/anvil
Returns a machine-readable manifest listing all available data topics, payment options, and mesh info.
Find payment details:
curl https://<node>/.well-known/x402
Returns endpoint pricing and payment models (HTTP 402 standard).
Query Data
Browse available topics:
curl https://<node>/stats
The envelopes.topics field lists all active data topics with envelope counts.
Fetch envelopes for a topic:
curl "https://<node>/data?topic=oracle:rates:bsv&limit=5"
Returns signed envelopes with payload, publisher pubkey, signature, TTL, and timestamp.
Verify a Transaction
curl "https://<node>/tx/<txid>/beef"
Returns the transaction in BEEF format with merkle proof for SPV verification.

Payment Flow (HTTP 402)
If an endpoint requires payment:
- Request the endpoint
- Receive HTTP 402 with price and payment address
- Create a BSV transaction for the exact amount
- Resend request with payment proof in
X402-Proof header
- Receive data — transaction settles on BSV network
No accounts, no API keys, no signups. Sub-cent costs, instant settlement.
Example: Get BSV/USD Price
curl -s "http://212.56.43.191:9333/data?topic=oracle:rates:bsv&limit=1" | jq '.envelopes[0].payload | fromjson | .USD'
