Stablecoins for agents, with guardrails you choose.
Some things agents pay for are priced per request in USDC. AgentWallet lets agents sign those payments. The mandate-bound path runs the same caps and approval gate as purchases; the generic path only enforces an optional per-call maximum.
AgentWallet is invite-only. Request access and we will follow up.
A stablecoin wallet for an agent lets it hold or pay in a dollar-pegged token such as USDC. In AgentWallet this is used for x402 pay-per-request payments on the Base network and for crypto payout destinations, alongside on-chain identity registries for principals and agents.
How stablecoin payments work for an agent.

Pick the x402 path that matches your risk.
We describe what the platform does; we do not make custody or regulatory claims here. Ask us about your setup.
Offer validation
Mismatched amount, recipient or network is rejected before signing.
Two paths, different gates
agent_pay_via_x402 runs the caps and approval gate. x402.pay_url has no cap, approval or ledger gate beyond maxAmountAtomic.
Explicit errors
Failures return typed error codes you can handle.
Testnet identity
On-chain registries run on Base Sepolia today; treat them as non-production.

Base. The x402 network is configurable between Base and Base Sepolia per deployment.
Who holds the keys?
Custody arrangements depend on your account setup. We do not make custody claims on this page; ask us during onboarding.
