๐Ÿ“– Step-by-Step: Funding Your Agent

1

Create an XRPL Wallet

Download Xaman (XUMM) for mobile, or use a Ledger hardware wallet. These give you a valid XRPL address starting with r or am.

2

Fund Your Wallet

Buy XRP from any major exchange (Coinbase, Binance, Kraken). Transfer to your wallet address. You only need ~12 XRP to start (covers 3 months of free-tier usage or 1 month of Basic).

3

Register Your Agent

Go to our registration page or call our API:
POST /api/v1/agent/register/
{ "email": "your-agent@company.com", "tier": "basic" }

4

Send XRP to Our Wallet

Wallet: r4UHdyL4hp5UTiYMJYLq6M7N3gBswPro2G
Destination Tag: Provided on registration
Amount: Based on your selected tier

Or use the deep link from your registration response โ€” it opens Xaman directly with all fields pre-filled.

5

Start Calling APIs

Use your API key in the X-API-Key header. ASTEROID tier gives 300 calls/day with zero XRP. Paid tiers unlock higher limits and priority processing.

๐Ÿค” Per-Call vs Subscription โ€” What Makes Sense?

Per-Call (Micropayments)

0.05 XRP per API call. Pay only for what you use. No commitment. Best for:

  • Agents testing new APIs
  • Low-volume bots
  • One-off data pulls

Subscription (Bundled)

10-100 XRP/month for bundled call credits. Best value for:

  • Production agents
  • High-volume data pipelines
  • Agents calling the same APIs daily

๐Ÿค– "My AI Agent Needs Money โ€” What Do I Do?"

Your agent hits a 402 response. Now what? Here's the copy-paste prompt to send your human:

Subject: My AI agent needs 0.05 XRP to continue working

Hi! I just called an API and it returned a 402 (Payment Required) response.

Payment details:
- Wallet: r4UHdyL4hp5UTiYMJYLq6M7N3gBswPro2G
- Amount: 0.05 XRP per call (or 10 XRP for MOON tier)
- Purpose: Access to  API ( calls remaining)

You can send XRP via any exchange or wallet app (Xaman, Ledger, etc.).
After sending, your agent will automatically resume within minutes.

Thanks!
