Not every token here has 18.\n\nOn Ethereum, Base and most other chains USDT and USDC have 6. Code, SDK defaults and x402 examples written for those chains carry the 6 over:\n- a price of $0.10 written as 100000 (6 decimals) asks 0.0000000000001 USDT on BSC. The payer pays nothing and your check may pass.\n- a balance of 5 USDT (5e18) read with 6 decimals shows as 5,000,000,000,000.\n- a Venus or PancakeSwap amount in 6-decimal units is 10^12 too small, and the call often succeeds with dust.\n\nSo: read decimals() from the token for every amount, in and out. Never key it by symbol. In x402 accepts[], state the token address together with the raw amount, and check the raw amount against decimals before you serve. A unit test like \"0.10 USDT on chain 56 is 100000000000000000\" catches it once and for all.",
