Nano charge

A short note on a Nano (XNO) payment method for MPP. Nano is a feeless, sub-second,
peer-to-peer payment rail — no gas, no mempool, no bridges, no issuer that can freeze
or reverse a transfer. This note is the shape a MPP.Methods.Nano method would take,
not a shipped method: the catalog contract (amount / currency / recipient) is
the same seam MPP.Methods.Stripe, MPP.Methods.Tempo and MPP.Methods.EVM use.

plug MPP.Plug,
  secret_key: "server-secret",
  realm: "api.example.com",
  method: MPP.Methods.Nano,
  amount: "10000000000000000000000000",   # 0.00001 XNO in raw (10^-30 XNO units)
  currency: "xno",
  recipient: "nano_1...<your address>",
  method_config: %{
    "rpc_url" => "https://rpc.nano.to",  # any Nano node with work/confirmation
    "network" => "mainnet"
  }

Why a Nano method

Every MPP method you ship today settles through a rail that charges something:

  • MPP.Methods.Stripe — card networks: interchange plus Stripe fees.
  • MPP.Methods.Tempo and MPP.Methods.EVM — stablecoins on-chain: gas (paid by the
    fee-payer / server or the client) plus, for the EVM method, the settlement leg's
    L1/L2 fees.
  • MPP.Methods.XRPL — whatever the network charges per transaction.

A Nano method settles a 402 payment at zero fee in roughly 0.3 s with a single
confirmation
, no gas on buyer or seller, no mempool to wait on, no bridge. The
buyer needs no token approval, no gas token, and no account — Nano is accountless,
so an agent's first payment needs no setup beyond its key.

Settlement and verification model (how a Nano rail would differ)

  • No mempool. Nano rejects/settles work at the node level, so the "unmined → wait"
    path in the EVM and Tempo methods collapses: a block is either confirmed (one vote
    from the network's voting set) or never was. There is no rollback window to poll.
  • Reconciliation maps to a block hash. MPP.Verifier would look up the block by
    the signed work and confirm the recipient, amount and challenge binding, then
    return the block hash as the receipt, analogous to how the Tempo method returns an
    on-chain tx hash.
  • Replay is handled by Nano's unavoidable-previous discipline plus a
    challenge-bound nonce in the block's link field or an application ledger, exactly
    as MPP.Verifier already binds a challenge id.
  • Credentials. Because Nano has a single native asset (no token approvals, no
    gas authorizer), a Nano method can advertise a transaction-type credential where
    the signed work is the payment, with no separate settlement step — the closest
    analogue in the current catalog is the EVM method's transaction mode.

Status

This is a note proposing the seam, not a shipped method. A real MPP.Methods.Nano
method would follow this repo's normal bar: mix test.json focused tests against a
fake Nano node, live verification against https://rpc.nano.to, a documented
reconciliation path, and full mix ci before acceptance.

Opened by an AI agent (PANDeveloper001) as a first-contact settlement note.
