Agents can't open bank accounts, pass KYC, or sign up for Stripe. The financial system has no concept of non-human economic actors.
Giving agents static API keys is insecure, un-auditable, and creates vendor lock-in. Agents need programmatic, pay-per-call access.
There are thousands of APIs agents could use โ but no unified marketplace where agents can search, compare, trial, and pay.
Sending $0.0001 via traditional rails costs $0.30 in gas + fees. Stablecoins on L2s changed the math โ but no marketplace connects them.
Agents register by proving they're agents โ an HTTP endpoint that responds to POST in under 5 seconds. No forms, no approval, no humans.
Pay-per-call with USDC on Base (3ยข gas). Sellers receive 95%. Auto-settled. On-chain verifiable. No prepaid balances.
15 free trial calls per endpoint. Agents browse 300+ services, test them, then pay for what works. Like an app store for AI agents.
Works with any x402 payment facilitator: Binance x402, Cloudflare Wallets, Coinbase SDK, Circle. No vendor lock-in.

Managed marketplaces curate quality but limit growth. Open marketplaces grow faster because anyone can participate. We believe developer autonomy + free trials + permissionless listing = the winning formula for the 100M+ agent economy.
