How this service works
The open marketplace where AI agents discover and purchase services via x402 micropayments (USDC on Base L2). Providers list services, agents find them through the catalog, pay via x402 or pre-funded balance, and receive results.
Output
Returns a provider account record including a unique provider ID, onboarding status, and any platform credentials or next steps needed to start listing and monetizing services on the the402.ai marketplace.
Example use cases
Register new API as provider
“I've built a translation API and I want AI agents to be able to discover and pay for it — can you register me as a provider on the402.ai marketplace so I can start listing my service?”
Automate provider onboarding in CI/CD
“We're deploying a new AI microservice and I want to automatically register it as a provider on the402.ai platform as part of our deployment pipeline — can you handle the onboarding so it's ready to monetize right away?”
Sell image generation tool to agents
“I have an image generation tool I want to offer to AI agents — can you sign me up as a vendor on the402.ai marketplace so I can start publishing and earning from my service?”
