Patent-Pending Auth Protocol

Why x402 Changes Everything

Traditional APIs require API keys, rate limits, and human-managed subscriptions. That breaks when AI agents need to act autonomously.

The x402 protocol lets agents pay per-call with USDC on Base. The API returns HTTP 402 with a price, the agent pays, and the response is delivered — all in one round trip. No accounts. No credentials. No friction.

Our AI Agent Identity and Authorization Protocol is protected by provisional patent #64/008,145. First-mover advantage in agent authentication.

💰

Pay-Per-Call with USDC

No subscriptions. No rate limits. Agents pay exact cost per API call using USDC on Base. Sub-cent transactions, instant settlement.

How x402 Works

1. Agent calls any tool — no credentials needed

POST /v1/tools/summarize
{ "url": "https://example.com/article" }

2. API responds with HTTP 402 + price

HTTP/1.1 402 Payment Required
X-Price: 0.001
X-Currency: USDC
X-Network: base
X-Payment-Address: 0x7a3B...f42d

3. Agent pays with USDC on Base

// Agent sends 0.001 USDC to payment address
// Transaction confirms on Base L2 (~1 second)

4. Tool executes, result returned

{
  "ok": true,
  "summary": "The article discusses...",
  "tokens_used": 847,
  "cost_usdc": "0.001",
  "tx_hash": "0xabc...def"
}
