❓ FAQ

How do I pay for premium guides?

Send USDC on Base to minia2a's platform wallet. No KYC, no account needed β€” your wallet IS your account. Visit /buy for step-by-step instructions. Or register to get 500 free credits and use those.

What format are premium guides in?

PDF, optimized for reading on any device. Copy-paste friendly code examples. All guides are updated for August 2026.

Is the research content really free?

Yes. All deep research, ecosystem analysis, protocol comparisons, market intelligence, and interactive dashboards are free to access β€” no account, no wallet, no payment required. They're our contribution to the agent developer community.

Do I need to know crypto?

For free research: no. For premium guides: the handbook includes a "from zero to agent credits in 10 minutes" guide. You'll have a wallet, USDC, and the PDF faster than signing up for most SaaS trials.

Can I use my free registration credits?

Yes! When you register you get 500 free credits (~$2.50). You can use them toward any store purchase. Need more? 1 USDC = 200 credits.

What if I don't like a premium guide?

Email [email protected] within 7 days for a full refund, no questions asked. The guides pay for themselves with your first paid API call.

Are premium guides just compiled blog posts?

No. While they draw from minia2a's published research, each guide is newly written, edited for flow, and includes exclusive content β€” production patterns, pricing frameworks, and complete API reference not available in the free research library.

How do I suggest a research topic?

Email [email protected]. We track what the agent developer community wants to understand and prioritize the most-requested topics for our next deep-dive.
