USDC nanopayments for agents
Agentic payments in action
Nanopayments makes autonomous machine-to-machine transactions economical at scale with gas-free transfers as small as $0.000001. Our collaboration with OpenMind signals what’s next: robots that can operate as independent economic actors.
New demands
Built for agentic scale
Upend legacy limitations
Agentic commerce needs systems designed for sub-cent, machine-driven payments. Traditional rails and standard onchain flows fall short.
Remove cost barriers
Gas-free transfers mean the cost of a transaction will never exceed its value, opening up new opportunities for small payments.
Drive autonomous payments
AI agents need real-time programmable value movement that is economical at scale.

Agentic payments
AI agents often transact at a high frequency and in sub-cent amounts. Nanopayments lets them move value autonomously at internet speed without cost friction.
Usage-based billing
Nanopayments enables pay-per-use billing models, with AI agents charged only for what they use — whether that be per API call, per second of compute, or per dataset access.
Machine-to-machine commerce
As robots act autonomously, they need to be able to pay for operating costs like electricity. Nanopayments supports the formation of machine-to-machine marketplaces.
