Two things are for sale here, both to software: a confidential VM by the hour and an open model by the request, paid in USDC over x402.

Guides

• Rent a confidential VM with USDC — no signup

  Buy a dedicated confidential VM (Intel TDX) by the hour with USDC over x402. Docker in, endpoint out. No account, no API key — the paying wallet owns the machine.

• Pay-per-request LLM inference over x402

  Open models on attested GPUs. One request, one USDC payment, and the exact price is known before the model runs. No signup — or prepay a balance and mint bearer keys.

• How x402 payment works: the 402 is the quote

  The x402 loop in four steps: send the request, read the 402, sign that exact amount as an EIP-3009 authorization, send it again. Quoting is free; the price is per network.

• An API without API keys: the wallet is the account

  Three ways software authenticates on agentgates.ai: anonymous x402 where the paying wallet is the identity, revocable bearer keys minted on a prepaid balance, and OAuth for the wallet MCP server.

• Confidential computing for AI agents: attested TEEs you can verify

  Both lanes run inside hardware enclaves — Intel TDX VMs for compute, GPU TEEs for inference — each with a remote-attestation quote and a public proof page. Verify the hardware before trusting it.

• An MCP server for agent payments: propose, never drain

  The Agentgates MCP server pairs an agent with a wallet under owner-approved grants. Every money-moving action is propose-only: the agent proposes, the wallet owner approves. OAuth 2.0 with PKCE and dynamic client registration.

• How AI agents pay for APIs: a wallet, not a card

  Cards assume a human at signup. An agent holding USDC is a complete customer: it reads the 402 quote, signs the exact amount, and buys — with spending shaped by ceilings, prepaid balances, and revocable keys.
