# 01 introduction

Welcome to the Stablix API documentation. Stablix is a non-custodial crypto payment platform that enables businesses to accept USDC and USDT payments on Solana and Base blockchains.

## What is Stablix?

Stablix provides a secure, escrow-based payment infrastructure for online businesses. When a customer pays, funds are held in a smart contract escrow until the merchant releases them or the buffer period expires.

**Key Features:**

* Accept USDC/USDT on Solana and Base
* Non-custodial escrow protection
* Recurring subscriptions with token approvals
* Built-in dispute resolution
* Real-time webhooks
* Tiered volume limits with KYC

## How It Works

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Merchant creates invoice

Stablix generates a deposit address for the invoice.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Buyer sends payment

Funds go to the escrow smart contract.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Funds release or dispute

* Buffer period passes → Funds auto-release to merchant
* OR Dispute opened → Admin resolves, funds distributed accordingly
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}
