Key Concepts

Qwery's architecture is built around modular, scalable components to ensure reliability and ease of use:

  • Hosted Gateway: The central endpoint at https://api.qwery.xyz acts as a secure proxy, verifying payments before forwarding requests to the provider's backend. It supports high throughput with built-in caching and load balancing.

  • Project Model: Each API monetization setup is encapsulated as a "project," which includes custom pricing tiers, authentication keys, routing rules, and analytics tracking. This allows providers to manage multiple APIs independently.

  • Automatic Revenue Split: On every successful transaction, Qwery automatically deducts its 10% platform fee (default; customizable) and transfers the remaining 90% to the provider's wallet via on-chain SPL instructions, ensuring transparency and immediacy.

  • USDC Settlement: All payments are denominated in USDC for stability, with settlements executed as atomic SPL token transfers on Solana, minimizing exposure to crypto volatility.

  • Marketplace (Optional): A curated directory integrated into the Qwery dashboard where providers can list their APIs for discovery. Consumers and agents can search, filter by categories (e.g., AI, data, finance), and integrate with one-click SDK configurations, promoting ecosystem growth.

These concepts work in tandem to create a frictionless payment experience.
