AgentPay x402 — Crypto Data Tools for AI Agents

AgentPay — your agent is only as smart as its data.

AgentPay is an open x402 payment gateway that lets AI agents autonomously access real crypto data tools using USDC on Stellar.

No subscriptions. No API keys. No human in the loop. Agents discover tools, pay per call ($0.001–$0.005), and get real data back — all within a hard budget cap.

9 live tools: token prices, whale activity, gas tracker, DeFi TVL, Fear & Greed, Dune queries and more → Budget-aware Session: agents estimate costs, track spend, never exceed budget → x402 protocol: works with any x402-compatible agent → Stellar settlement: 5-second finality, $0.00001 fees

Try it in 60 seconds:

curl https://gateway-production-2cc2.up.railway.app/faucet

Or open the browser faucet: https://gateway-production-2cc2.up.railway.app/faucet/ui

Live gateway: https://gateway-production-2cc2.up.railway.app


Quickstart — 3 steps

Step 1: Get a funded test wallet

One call gives you a ready-to-use Stellar testnet wallet with 5 USDC pre-loaded:

curl https://gateway-production-2cc2.up.railway.app/faucet

Or use the browser faucet — click "Get Test Wallet", copy the snippet, run it.


Step 2: Create a Session with a budget

from agent.wallet import AgentWallet, Session, BudgetExceeded

wallet = AgentWallet(
    secret_key="S...",       # your Stellar secret key
    network="testnet",       # or "mainnet"
)

GATEWAY = "https://gateway-production-2cc2.up.railway.app"

with Session(wallet=wallet, gateway_url=GATEWAY, max_spend="0.05") as session:
    print(f"Balance:  {wallet.get_usdc_balance()} USDC")
    print(f"Budget:   {session.remaining()} remaining")

The Session enforces a hard USDC cap across all calls. It raises BudgetExceeded before any payment goes out if a tool would push you over, and automatically falls back to the next-cheapest tool in the same category when the preferred one is too expensive.


Step 3: Call tools — payment is automatic

with Session(wallet=wallet, gateway_url=GATEWAY, max_spend="0.05") as session:

    # Token price — $0.001
    r = session.call("token_price", {"symbol": "ETH"})
    print(f"ETH: ${r['price_usd']:,.2f}  ({r['change_24h_pct']:+.2f}% 24h)")

    # Fear & Greed Index — $0.001
    r = session.call("fear_greed_index", {"limit": 1})
    print(f"Sentiment: {r['value']}/100 — {r['value_classification']}")

    # DeFi TVL — $0.002
    r = session.call("defi_tvl", {"protocol": "aave"})
    print(f"Aave TVL: ${r['tvl'] / 1e9:.1f}B  ({r['change_1d']:+.1f}% 24h)")

    # Crypto news — $0.003
    r = session.call("crypto_news", {"currencies": "ETH", "filter": "hot"})
    for h in r["headlines"][:3]:
        print(f"  [{h['sentiment']:>7}] {h['title'][:55]}")

    print(f"\nTotal spent: {session.spent()}")
    print(f"Remaining:   {session.remaining()}")

Each session.call() handles the full x402 flow internally:

  1. Checks your remaining budget against the tool's price (pre-flight, no payment yet)

  2. POSTs to the gateway, receives a 402 with {payment_id, amount_usdc, pay_to}

  3. Sends USDC on Stellar — ~2–3 seconds on testnet

  4. Retries the request with X-Payment: tx_hash=<hash>,from=<addr>,id=<payment_id>

  5. Returns the data

Discover all tools dynamically:

import httpx
tools = httpx.get(f"{GATEWAY}/tools").json()["tools"]
for t in tools:
    print(f"{t['name']:<22} ${t['price_usdc']}  — {t['description']}")

Without the SDK — raw HTTP

The x402 flow works with any HTTP client in any language.

# 1. Call the tool → receive 402 payment challenge

Run the demo

git clone <this-repo> && cd agentpay
python -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Copy env and add your Stellar secret key
cp .env.example .env

# Run the full 5-tool ETH analysis against the live gateway
AGENTPAY_GATEWAY_URL=https://gateway-production-2cc2.up.railway.app \
  python agent/budget_demo.py

Expected output: ETH price, gas, DEX liquidity, whale moves, and Dune onchain data — all paid for autonomously in ~$0.012 USDC.

Fee model: Gateway charges 15% (GATEWAY_FEE_PERCENT=0.15), forwards the rest to each tool developer's Stellar wallet. All payments settle on-chain in ~5 seconds.

Note: AgentPay currently uses the x402 pay-first pattern with classic Stellar PAYMENT ops. OZ Facilitator (verify-first, Soroban SAC) migration planned for v2.


Agent Discovery

AgentPay is discoverable by autonomous agents at standard discovery paths:

  • AgentPay manifest: https://gateway-production-2cc2.up.railway.app/.well-known/agentpay.json

  • A2A agent card: https://gateway-production-2cc2.up.railway.app/.well-known/agent.json

Any x402-compatible agent can discover and use AgentPay tools without human setup.

All 9 AgentPay tools are also indexed on x402scout under network: stellar-testnet.
