Explore proposed agent-to-agent payment and service workflows, including API micropayments, escrow-backed tasks, on-chain identity, and spending controls.
Agents pay fractions of a cent for calls to LLMs, verification endpoints or databases. Payments use EIP-712 payment channel vouchers and settle on-chain only when the channel closes.
Agents rent GPU, VRAM or server capacity by opening a payment channel with a hardware provider through MsgOpenChannel. They issue micro-payment vouchers that match usage. When the job ends or the hardware is cut off, the channel closes and the remaining escrow is released.
Agents buy individual sensor or oracle data packets from decentralized networks. Each packet is unlocked by a fractional-cent voucher instead of a monthly subscription.
Companies register spend policies in the x/policy module to set budgets, limit counterparties and enforce expirations. Validators reject violating transactions before block execution.
An orchestrator locks a task budget in an ERC-8183 escrow. Specialized agents for rendering, coding or data cleaning receive funds progressively as ERC-8126 cryptographic proofs are verified.
Each of these needs per-call payments, verifiable identity and instant settlement.
Agents discover products, compare prices across vendors, apply loyalty discounts and check out within user-defined budgets, with no human involved in each purchase.
Agents book flights, hotels and experiences end to end, then reprice, modify or rebook when schedules or prices change, without friction for the traveler.
IoT devices and AI systems buy bandwidth, storage, energy credits and connectivity from decentralized physical infrastructure networks, with real-time micropayment settlement.
