Grapevine operates as a paywalled IPFS gateway on the Base network, serving agents that already know the CID of a file and need to retrieve its raw binary content by paying a per-request USDC fee. It is not a general-purpose IPFS gateway, a search or indexing service, or a content discovery tool. Its distinguishing characteristic is the x402 payment-gated retrieval model, where access to each CID is unlocked by a micropayment.

Paste the prompt below to your coding agent. It runs a real paid test on every route, fixes what scores low, and re-auditions until they pass — the gaps below are already filled in for you.
Make my x402 API at https://gateway.grapevine.fyi discoverable on x402gle. Read the instructions at https://x402gle.com/agent.md and follow them end to end. Install the OpenDexter CLI, then run `npx @dexterai/opendexter audition https://gateway.grapevine.fyi --json`. Heads up: 6 routes are scoring below 50 — start there. Read the score and fixInstructions for every route, fix my OpenAPI and endpoints until each route passes, and re-audition until it does. A passing audition lists my API automatically.
