feat: switch default facilitator to Obol-operated x402.gcp.obol.tech#323
Conversation
Two fixes validated with real Base Sepolia x402 payments between two DGX Spark nodes running Nemotron 120B inference. 1. **CA certificate bundle**: The x402-verifier runs in a distroless container with no CA store. TLS verification of the public facilitator (facilitator.x402.rs) fails with "x509: certificate signed by unknown authority". Fix: `obol sell pricing` now reads the host CA bundle and patches it into the `ca-certificates` ConfigMap mounted by the verifier. 2. **Missing Description field**: The facilitator rejects verify requests that lack a `description` field in PaymentRequirement with "invalid_format". Fix: populate Description from the route pattern when building the payment requirement. ## Validated testnet flow ### Alice (seller) ``` obolup.sh # bootstrap dependencies obol stack init && obol stack up obol model setup custom --name nemotron-120b \ --endpoint http://host.k3d.internal:8000/v1 \ --model "nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12B-NVFP4" obol sell pricing --wallet 0xC0De...97E --chain base-sepolia obol sell http nemotron \ --wallet 0xC0De...97E --chain base-sepolia \ --per-request 0.001 --namespace llm \ --upstream litellm --port 4000 \ --health-path /health/readiness \ --register --register-name "Nemotron 120B on DGX Spark" obol tunnel restart ``` ### Bob (buyer) ``` # 1.

Replace the third-party facilitator.x402.rs with the Obol-operated facilitator at x402.gcp.obol.tech. This gives us control over uptime, chain support, and monitoring (Grafana dashboards already deployed in obol-infrastructure). Introduces DefaultFacilitatorURL constant in internal/x402 and updates all references: CLI flag default, config loader, standalone inference gateway, and deployment store. Companion PR in obol-infrastructure adds Base Sepolia (84532) to the facilitator's chain config alongside Base Mainnet (8453).
