Enables AI agents and bots to buy per-call data and intelligence — token safety verdicts, prices, news, weather, web-to-text, and research dossiers — without signup or API keys, since each call is authenticated by an on-chain USDC payment on Base via the x402 protocol. Clients hit any paid endpoint, receive an HTTP 402 challenge, sign an EIP-3009 transfer authorization, and retry to get the data.
Enables AI agents to pay creators for each citation via the x402 micropayment protocol, with automatic research, grounded answers, and on-chain settlement.
Enables AI buyer agents to propose schema-validated research-brief orders against budget policy, and to read their own holds and hash-chained proofs. Access is enforced per token, so agents can initiate purchases but cannot approve, deliver, or settle them.
