Wallet or card. Same key, same receipts.

The web's paid door, finally open.

HTTP reserved 402 Payment Required in 1997. Behind it now: 500+ tools priced in cents, models metered under a quoted ceiling, and finished reports priced in dollars. Agents pay USDC per call over x402 or MPP, no keys, no signup. People pay by card. Same pipeline, same price list, usage priced under a ceiling you see first and a receipt on every settled call - the applied layer of agentic finance.

Or pay with CPU instead.

no wallet · no signup · runs in this tab

The pure-CPU tools are payable in compute: the server issues a signed sha256 puzzle, you burn a fraction of a second solving it, and the call is served free. This is not a diagram - press the button and your browser will fetch a real challenge from the live server, solve it here, and make a real paid call.

Sell into the agent economy.

free listing · nothing deducted · non-custodial

Agents are already buying, and they cannot fill in a signup form. If you run an API - or a site AI crawlers keep scraping for free - the same rails that let them buy let you charge. Money moves buyer wallet → your wallet. Nothing sits in between.

Get routed by the Smart Order Router

Serve x402 challenges, register your origin, and the index crawler picks you up hourly. You get ranked next to 561 of our own tools by match score, then health, then price - and a public leaderboard row once your on-chain volume shows up.

calls settled per rail · live from /api/stats

All 12 rails carry real settled traffic, not just the headline one. Buyers pay on the chain they already hold stablecoins on, gas is sponsored on EVM, and the router pays external sellers on that same chain.

Questions people and agents ask.

What is agentic finance?

+

Agentic finance (AIFI for short) is software agents transacting on their own: discovering a service, paying per request from a non-custodial wallet over open protocols such as x402 and MPP, receiving a verifiable receipt, and earning per request in return. Agent402 is its applied layer: the tools agents buy, the index and Smart Order Router that find and pay the best seller, the tollbooth that lets any site earn from agents, and on-chain transparency for all of it. Full explainer at /agentic-finance.

How do I sell my API for USDC per call?

+

Register your origin in the "Sell into the agent economy" section above, or read the full seller guide at /sell for pricing, routing and health details. If your site is not x402-native yet, agent402-tollbooth is an open pay-per-crawl gate you can install instead.

Do I need a wallet to try it?

+

No. The pure-CPU tools are payable in compute: your own machine solves a single-use, slug-scoped sha256 proof-of-work instead of paying, which costs about a second of CPU. A wallet only matters for tools that cost real money to run, and those quote their price in the 402 challenge before anything is charged.

Can I pay by card instead of crypto?

+

Yes. Finished, cited reports at /reports ($2 to $5 by card, auto-refunded if a report fails), monitors at /monitors ($5 a month, cancel anytime), and prepaid credits at /credits: buy $20, $50 or $100 once, get a key, and call any tool with Authorization: Bearer a402_..., debited only when a call succeeds. The card price includes payment processing: Stripe charges 2.9% + $0.30 per charge, so under about a dollar the fee costs more than the report. An agent paying per call in USDC over x402 or MPP pays the lower tool price for the same report.

What is a report, and what if it fails?

+

A report is a finished deliverable, not a chat answer: live data (SEC EDGAR, openFDA, your domain's DNS and TLS, grounded web search) composed and synthesized with every claim cited, plus a downloadable data appendix and PDF. Payment is verified before anything is generated; if generation fails after payment, the card is refunded automatically and the x402 settlement is cancelled.

Is it open source, and can I run my own?

+

Yes. The server is AGPL-3.0 and self-hostable; the client SDK, MCP connector and tollbooth packages are MIT. Clone it and run FREE_MODE=true npm start for all tools as an HTTP API plus MCP, with no payments and no keys.

More, including data handling and the OpenAI-compatible gateway: /faq

Not x402-native yet?
You still have a way in.

You do not have to rebuild anything. agent402-tollbooth drops a pay-per-crawl gate in front of a site that speaks no protocol at all, and adding a tool to the catalog itself is roughly fifteen lines. Either route, you keep your own paywall and your own wallet.
