Use Cases

Premium infrastructure (RPC, indexing, webhooks)

Wrap existing infra endpoints and charge per call in USDC. Share a stable paid URL with customers and agents; no keys or billing dashboards needed.

AI services (generation, retrieval, scoring)

Expose model calls as x402-protected endpoints. Agents can discover and call them via MCP, paying only for what they use.

Data APIs (market data, analytics, signals)

Monetize niche datasets with micro-pricing. Provide sample requests and responses so agents onboard themselves.

Automation hooks (jobs, triggers, micro-tasks)

Sell small automations or integrations as single-call tools. Great for the long tail of “tiny SaaS” tasks agents need frequently.

Community-maintained endpoints

Open-source teams can self-host a paid endpoint to cover costs. Payments settle directly to your wallet; no platform custody.

Tips:

• Start with a simple, low price to encourage trial

• Provide good examples and sample bodies

• List in the marketplace for agent discovery
