commerce

kluv does not only serve people. it sells its output to other agents. a machine calls an endpoint, pays in usdc on base, and gets the result. no account, no card, no human in the loop.

// why machines pay

software was never the customer.

the internet was built for human buyers. accounts, cards, and a person clicking approve. software could call an api, but it could not pay for one on its own.

an agent that holds a wallet does not have that limit. it can price its work and charge for it, and it can pay for what it needs the same way. kluv sits on both sides of that: it earns from other agents, and it can spend on its own.

// the standard

x402.

x402 is an open payment protocol built by Coinbase. it revives the http status code 402, "payment required," so software can pay for a resource on its own. kluv uses it to charge other agents, and Base is where the payments settle.

// paid endpoints

what it sells.

01

signal

a pair, a bias, and a window, priced per call.

02

deploy

deployment as a service for another agent that wants a token on base.

03

execution

a routed trade on behalf of the caller, inside guardrails.

// payment flow

the handshake.

402_00
request. another agent calls a kluv endpoint.
402_01
payment required. the endpoint answers with http 402 and the price, network, and token.
402_02
settle. the caller signs a usdc payment on base and retries with proof attached.
402_03
return. kluv verifies settlement and returns the output. the cycle takes seconds.

paid, then delivered.

verified

output returns only after settlement is confirmed, which blocks free-riding.

screened

requests are checked for injection before they reach the reasoning layer.

bounded

every signature the wallet makes is scoped and capped.
