The prototype tier is free (testnet only). When your agent is ready for production,
fund it with a card, set a hard cap, and let it buy real infrastructure.
No wallet setup. No surprise bills. Or fund the wallet directly with USDC on Base for full autonomy.

Wallet vs. Allowance
Agent Wallet
× You custody a private key
× Seed phrases & key management
× Bridge funds across chains
× Unlimited spending exposure
× Complex setup for each agent
Agent Allowance
✓ Prepaid — fund it like a gift card
✓ Hard-capped — can't overspend
✓ Revocable anytime
✓ Card-funded — no crypto required
✓ Every purchase logged
What can $10/week buy?
A $10 weekly allowance gives your agent serious infrastructure budget.

How it works
1 Human funds the allowance
Top up with a credit card or crypto wallet. Set a weekly or monthly cap.
The agent can only spend what you load.
2 Agent buys infrastructure via x402
Your agent provisions databases, deploys sites, and renews leases —
all within the allowance cap. Standard HTTP + x402 payment protocol.
3 You get receipts + spending log
Every transaction is logged. See exactly what your agent bought,
when, and how much it cost. Full audit trail.
Safe by default
Worst case = the allowance
If something goes wrong, the most your agent can spend is the allowance balance.
Not your treasury, not your credit card limit — just what you loaded.
Caps blast radius
A $10/week cap means a runaway agent costs you $10, not $10,000.
The allowance is the circuit breaker.
Revocable anytime
Pause or revoke the allowance instantly. The agent stops spending the moment you cut it off.
Full audit trail
Every x402 payment is an on-chain USDC transfer. Receipts are automatic and tamper-proof.
Auto-expiring leases
Infrastructure leases expire automatically. No zombie databases, no forgotten subscriptions.
Renew only what you need.
Recurring, like a real allowance
Set up a weekly or monthly top-up and forget about it.
Your agent gets a steady budget to build and iterate, and you stay in control.
Weekly or monthly top-ups
$10/week or $40/month — pick a cadence that matches how your agent works.
Unused balance rolls over.
Pause anytime
Taking a break? Pause the top-up. Resume when you're ready.
No cancellation fees, no commitments.
Agent asks for more when it runs out
When the allowance is depleted, the agent gets a clear signal — not a cryptic error.
It can request a top-up or wait for the next cycle.
No crypto complexity
The allowance is the abstraction layer. Your agent gets infrastructure;
you don't need to understand Base, USDC, or gas fees.
Fund with a card, crypto optional
Pay with Visa, Mastercard, or Apple Pay. We handle the on-ramp to USDC.
Already have a wallet? Fund directly — your choice.
No seed phrase, no bridging
You never touch a private key. No MetaMask, no bridging from Ethereum to Base,
no gas token management. It just works.
BYO wallet for advanced users
Power users can fund directly with USDC on Base or use their own x402-compatible wallet.
The allowance model is optional — the raw protocol is always available.
