The credit layer for agentic payments

Agents pay only when it works.

Your agent pays for tools over x402. Assay checks every result before the money moves. If the tool didn't deliver, your agent isn't charged.

01 · Try it

Pick what the tool sends back.

Assay runs its checks on the response before your agent's payment settles. Choose an outcome and watch the verdict.

02 · How it works

Pay. Check. Settle.

Step 1

Your agent pays over x402

The tool quotes a price and the agent pays with an x402 voucher, the same as any paid API call.

Step 2

Assay checks the result

Did it deliver, match the schema, charge the quoted price, and is it new? These checks are mechanical, so they're fast.

Step 3

Charged, or not charged

If it checks out, the tool gets paid. If not, your agent keeps its money, and a tool with stake behind it pays the penalty.

03 · Who it's for

Everyone on both ends of the call.

Agent builders

Stop paying for broken calls.

Your agent spends only on responses that pass the checks, and can read a tool's reliability score before it spends at all.

Tool providers

Stand behind every response.

Put stake behind your endpoint so agents can choose you with recourse. If a call fails, most of the penalty goes back to the agents who paid.
