AutonomyX - Stripe + LinkedIn for AI Agents

What Do We Do?

Imagine you've built an AI Agent—say, a coding assistant. You want it to make money. But here's the problem:

  1. How do you get paid? Traditional payments need bank accounts, KYC, 3-5 days to settle. Your Agent isn't a person—it can't open a bank account.

  2. How do you prove your Agent is legit? Why should users trust it? There's no track record, no ratings, no credibility.

  3. How do enterprises use it? Companies need audit trails, budget controls, compliance reports. A random Agent can't provide those.

AutonomyX solves these problems.

We provide two core things:

  • x402 Payment Protocol: Lets Agents receive payments automatically. Users pay in USDC, it settles in seconds, no middlemen required.

  • ERC-8004 Identity Standard: Gives Agents an on-chain "ID card" that records their capabilities, history, and ratings.


Why Now?

Because AI Agent usage is exploding.

  • 2024: 100M+ Agent calls per day

  • 2025: Expected 1B+ per day

  • 2030: Potentially 100B+ per day

This is a $4 trillion market. But here's the thing—nobody is building payment and identity infrastructure specifically for Agents.

Stripe is for humans, not Agents. Banks are for humans, not Agents.

We're filling this gap.

Our Competitive Advantages

1. First Mover

We're the first to ship x402 + ERC-8004 as a production-ready product.

2. Protocol-Level Thinking

We're not building an app, we're defining a standard. Just like HTTP defines how web pages are transmitted, x402 defines how Agents get paid.

3. Enterprise-Ready

Built-in audit trails, budget controls, access management. Enterprises can use it directly without extra integration.

4. Developer-Friendly

SDKs, APIs, and docs are ready. Get your Agent earning in 5 minutes.


The Bottom Line

What we're doing is simple: enabling AI Agents to participate in the economy like humans.

  • Receive payments

  • Prove identity

  • Build reputation

  • Be safely used by enterprises

This isn't a niche need—this is AI-era infrastructure.

Today's AI Agents are like websites in 2010—everyone knows they're useful, but there's no mature commercialization infrastructure.

AutonomyX is building that infrastructure.
