What makes Kobaru different

Most payment facilitators claim they're different. We built Kobaru to actually be different.

Built by people who've done this before

Kobaru was built by payment industry veterans with years of experience building payment products at scale. This isn't a first attempt at payment infrastructure—it's a refined approach informed by what works and what doesn't when handling real money for real businesses.

This experience shows in how the system handles edge cases, error conditions, and the operational complexity that emerges when you're processing thousands of transactions daily.

Reliability is non-negotiable

Payment infrastructure fails in predictable ways. Network timeouts happen. Blockchain RPCs go down. Race conditions emerge under load.

Kobaru was built from the ground up with reliability as the primary constraint. The system runs on the edge in more than 100 datacenters around the world, eliminating single points of failure and ensuring low latency globally.

Every transaction uses atomic operations with database-level constraints to prevent duplicate charges. Idempotency keys ensure safe retries when networks fail. Distributed systems remain correct even when individual components slow down or become temporarily unavailable.

Modern infrastructure for modern problems

Traditional payment infrastructure was optimized for credit card processing. Kobaru was built for the x402 protocol era—designed for micropayments with minimal latency and maximum resilience.

The architecture supports gasless crypto transfers, multiple blockchain networks simultaneously, and handles the unique challenges of sub-cent transactions that traditional payment rails can't process economically.

Every feature you need

Payment facilitators compete by removing features to reduce costs. Kobaru includes everything:

• Multiple blockchain networks - Solana, Base, SKALE
• Multiple payment schemes - Exact transfers, deferred settlement, polling-based verification
• Usage tracking models - Pay-per-request, pay-per-time, with intelligent refund logic
• Embedded proxy mode - Gateway handles both payment and content delivery
• SDK mode - Merchants handle their own delivery, call gateway for verification
• Comprehensive API - /supported, /verify, /settle endpoints following x402 v2 spec

The system doesn't make you choose between features. You get all of them.

Integration that doesn't require a PhD

Payment integration typically requires weeks of development. Kobaru offers multiple integration paths:

• Direct proxy - Point your API domain to Kobaru, payments work immediately
• SDK integration - Drop in a client library and call three endpoints
• Manual integration - Full OpenAPI spec with examples

The x402 protocol standardization means you implement once and support multiple payment networks automatically.

A Console that actually helps

Most payment dashboards show you transactions and call it done. Kobaru Console is a revenue command center:

• Real-time transaction monitoring with status updates
• Advanced filtering by wallet, amount, date, network, status
• Self-service API key management - Create, rotate, revoke without support tickets
• Team management - Invite users with role-based access control
• Route-level pricing control - Override costs per service or route
• Usage analytics - Track success rates, top wallets, network performance
• Audit logging - See who changed what and when

The Console doesn't just show you what happened. It gives you the tools to operate your payment infrastructure independently.

Support that responds

Payment issues happen. When they do, you need answers, not automated responses.

Kobaru's support team knows the codebase, understands the protocols, and can diagnose issues without requiring you to explain how blockchain transactions work.

Solutions: actionable, not generic troubleshooting checklists.
