Understanding the Dashboard

The Atomic Rail Dashboard is your control plane for managing unit economics and API infrastructure.

1. Usage Meter (Real-Time Monitoring)

The main dashboard provides real-time aggregates and historical trends of your project's performance.

• Total Events: The total volume of API requests hitting your gated endpoints.
• Success Rate: The percentage of requests that passed through the gate successfully (verified payments vs. failed/blocked attempts).
• Unique Payers: Tracks individual wallet addresses that have interacted with your API.
• Total Revenue: The total USD value processed across all gated endpoints via x402 payments.
• Usage Trends: Interactive charts showing API calls broken down by Action ID over different time ranges (24h, 7d, 30d).

2. Action Registry (The Control Plane)

The Registry is where you define the "Rules of Engagement" for your API. It allows you to manage infrastructure without redeploying code.

• Ghost Actions: Automatically detects new actions in your code. You can "Claim" these to quickly bring them under management. If an action isn't detected automatically, you can also use the "Create Action" button to add it manually.
• Pricing & Network: Set individual prices in USD and specify which blockchain network (e.g., Base, Polygon) you expect payments on.
• Kill Switch: Every action has a status toggle. You can instantly disable an endpoint if you detect abuse or need to perform maintenance.
• Idempotency TTL: Configure how long payment signatures should be cached to prevent "Double Spend" attacks or accidental duplicate payments.

3. Interactive Playground (Verification)

The Playground allows you to test your Atomic Rail integration and verify your full request pipeline without spending real funds.

• Simulation Header: The dashboard sends requests to your API with the X-Atomic-Simulation: true header, which the AtomicGate recognizes to bypass real payment checks.
• Simulation Log: Real-time console output of the request lifecycle, showing you exactly how the gate handles the request.
• Verified Badge: Visual confirmation that your HMAC signing, project credentials, and usage ingestion are correctly configured.

4. Project Settings (Security & Billing)

Manage your project's identity and financial configuration.

• Security: Access your Project ID and HMAC Secret. These are required to initialize the AtomicGate in your code.
• Billing: Monitor your own platform usage and manage your subscription plan for the Atomic Rail Control Plane.
• General: Manage project names, delete projects, and configure critical infrastructure URLs:
• Application Base URL: The public-facing URL of your API (e.g., https://api.yourdomain.com). Used for security validation and generating payment links.
• Facilitator URL: The x402 Facilitator endpoint responsible for verifying on-chain transactions. By default, this is set to the x402 testnet facilitator.
