The picks-and-shovels play for the AI agent economy. We built the first x402 API directory, the first MCP marketplace, and processed the first autonomous agent payment. Now we're scaling.
AI agents are moving from demos to production. They need APIs. They need to pay for APIs. No one has built the infrastructure for that — except us.
We're not pitching an idea. We're pitching a live product with real services, real infrastructure, and real transactions.
The first searchable directory of x402-enabled APIs. Agents discover and pay for services programmatically. 63 production tools.
55 MCP servers giving AI agents native tool access. The largest MCP marketplace focused on paid, production-grade services.
Our payment facilitator processes agent-to-API transactions in USDC with sub-second settlement. The rails that make autonomous payments work.
Enterprise-ready: companies can deploy their own branded x402 marketplace using our infrastructure. A new revenue stream nobody else offers.
Five distinct revenue streams, all compounding with platform growth:
Users buy credits to access 63 tools. Margin on each call.
2.5% facilitator fee on every autonomous agent payment.
Dedicated facilitator instances for enterprise clients.
Featured placement in the directory for API providers.
$499-$999+/mo for branded marketplace deployments.
First x402 directory. First x402 payment. First MCP marketplace with paid services. Every day we're live is another day of compounding advantage.
x402 is an emerging HTTP standard. We're building the canonical infrastructure around it. Switching costs are high when you're the payment rails.
More services → more agents → more transactions → more providers. Classic marketplace dynamics with crypto-native settlement.
Serial entrepreneur and builder. Multiple successful businesses. Identified the x402 opportunity early, built the platform from scratch, and shipped fast. Operator mentality — builds first, pitches second.
Arch Tools is raising to scale the first x402 infrastructure platform. If you invest in picks-and-shovels plays for emerging markets, we should talk.
