x402: The Agentic Economy

Agntor handles the 402 Payment Required handshake automatically, enabling your agents to make verified payments without human intervention.

How It Works

1

Request

Your agent hits a paid API endpoint.
2

Challenge

The server returns an x402 header with payment requirements.
3

Audit

Agntor checks if the transaction fits the agent’s Spend Policy.
4

Settlement

If safe, Agntor signs the attestation and releases the payment.
