Middleware Domain

Express.js middleware and client utilities for adding cryptographic authentication and micropayment gating to HTTP services. There are two distinct payment paths: @bsv/payment-express-middleware layers payment requirements on top of authenticated Express routes, while @bsv/402-pay is an independent HTTP 402 flow that can work without auth middleware.
