PAYMENT PROTOCOL

Thepaymentlayerforautonomous agents

Permissionless state channel micropayments on Solana. AI agents pay for APIs, DePIN data, and other agents' services in USDC — no subscriptions, no credit cards.

THE PROBLEM

Agents can't hold credit cards.

The entire payments stack was built for humans with identities and bank accounts. Autonomous software needs something fundamentally different.

No credit cards

Autonomous agents don't have identities, bank accounts, or credit cards. Traditional payment rails are built for humans.

Subscriptions don't fit

Agents spin up, make 3 API calls, and shut down. Monthly subscriptions waste money on idle capacity.

Walled gardens

Closed platforms lock agents into specific providers. There's no open marketplace where any agent can pay any API.

HOW IT WORKS

Settle micropayments in milliseconds

A four-step state channel flow that keeps funds secure on-chain while achieving sub-second API calls off-chain.

01

Deposit

The agent locks USDC into a PDA-owned vault on Solana. This creates a state channel with the gateway — funds are secured on-chain but usage tracking happens off-chain for speed.

WHY CONDUIT

Built for the agentic economy

An open, permissionless payment layer purpose-built for autonomous agent-to-agent and agent-to-DePIN commerce.

Permissionless & open

Any developer can list an API. Any agent can pay for it. No gatekeepers, no approval processes, no platform lock-in.

Agent-to-agent native

Built for autonomous software paying autonomous software. State channels settle in one transaction — not one per API call.

DePIN-ready

Designed for decentralized physical infrastructure networks. Weather sensors, network probes, and compute nodes all have a payment rail.
