How this service works
Pay-per-request AI developer tools in USDC on Base. Generate code, audit smart contracts, review diffs, summarize text, and convert data formats via the x402 payment standard. Powered by glm-5.2.
Output
A JSON object containing the plain-language explanation of the submitted code under `result.code`, the model used (`result.model`, e.g. 'glm-5.1'), the token count (`result.tokens`), the amount paid (`paid`, e.g. '1 USDC'), the blockchain transaction hash (`txHash`), and the service identifier (`service: 'explain-code'`).
Example use cases
Onboard junior developer to codebase
“I have a new dev who doesn't understand this legacy function — can you explain what it does line by line? Here's the code: `function mergeSort(arr) { if (arr.length <= 1) return arr; const mid = Math.floor(arr.length/2); return merge(mergeSort(arr.slice(0,mid)), mergeSort(arr.slice(mid))); }`”
Understand open-source library internals
“I'm trying to use this open-source middleware but I don't get what it's doing under the hood — can you explain this snippet? `app.use((req, res, next) => { req.startTime = Date.now(); res.on('finish', () => console.log(Date.now() - req.startTime)); next(); })`”
Non-technical stakeholder code review
“My CTO sent me this Solidity snippet and I need to understand what it does before our meeting — can you explain it in plain English? `modifier onlyOwner() { require(msg.sender == owner, 'Not owner'); _; }`”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://code.mamenesia.com/service/explain-codeWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a pay-per-use, no-subscription code explanation service billed in USDC on Base via x402. Ideal for agents that handle sporadic code analysis tasks without committing to a monthly API plan, or when operating in a crypto-native payment environment. Best for single-snippet explanations; not suited for large-scale batch code review pipelines.
Side effects
- Payment failure: insufficient USDC balance or x402 payment not accepted — returns payment error
- Empty or missing prompt field: returns validation error
- Code snippet too large for token limit: may return truncated or error response
- Model unavailability: GLM-5.2 backend down — returns 5xx error
- Ambiguous or non-code input: may produce low-quality or irrelevant explanation
