Zauth 402 Integration

Zauth is DAEMON's embedded x402 database and Provider Hub surface, not pricing copy.

Integration Scope#

DAEMON embeds Zauth Database and Provider Hub as an operator surface for 402/provider management. Users can inspect payment/provider configuration from DAEMON while DAEMON AI entitlement checks remain server-side.

Recommended Boundary#

  • Use Zauth as the operator-facing 402 management surface.
  • Keep DAEMON AI entitlement checks in DAEMON AI Cloud.
  • Keep model provider keys and premium workflow assets server-side.
  • Treat Zauth as an integration layer unless DAEMON formally adopts it as production payment authority.

Next Steps#

  • Decide whether Zauth is official production payment authority or an embedded management integration.
  • Document which DAEMON resources are protected by 402 payments.
  • Add a backend contract for entitlement sync if Zauth becomes authoritative for DAEMON_AI_API_BASE.
  • Validate the full payment, entitlement, and hosted DAEMON AI request flow with real accounts.
