402Claw � AI Payment Gateway on Base
402Claw's Team
Problem Statement
AI agents need to consume services autonomously but cannot sign up for accounts, manage API keys, or navigate traditional auth flows. This blocks the agentic economy � agents can't pay for what they need. 402Claw solves this by making USDC payment on Base the authentication mechanism via the X402 protocol (HTTP 402 Payment Required). Any agent with a wallet can discover, pay for, and use AI services instantly with micropayments. No signup, no API keys � payment IS the credential.
A live payment gateway where AI agents and humans discover and pay for AI generation services using USDC on Base. Payment replaces authentication � no API keys, no signup, no accounts. Uses the X402 protocol for autonomous micropayments. Agents discover services via /.well-known/agent-manifest.json, llms.txt, and OpenAPI spec. Currently serving image generation (Flux/Nano Banana), text-to-speech, and document parsing endpoints with real USDC revenue on Base Mainnet.
