Agent Commerce · x402 · pay per call · register on render
Suede exposes paid endpoints over x402 — the HTTP-native payment standard. Any agent (Claude, GPT, autonomous workflows) can hit /agent/generate, settle in USDC on Base, and walk away with a registered, license-attached creative output. No keys to share, no human in the loop.

How a paid call works
x402 turns HTTP 402 into the agent-native payment primitive. Suede's endpoints challenge unauthenticated requests with a 402, the agent settles in USDC on Base, and the same connection returns a fully-rights-cleared creative output.
POST to /agent/generate, /create-music, or /agent/video. JSON body, no API key.
Standard x402 challenge: price, network, asset, facilitator, payee. All in the response headers.
USDC transfer on Base mainnet via the x402 facilitator. Confirms in seconds.
Music · video · image. Same pipeline that powers the studio surface, just initiated by an agent.
Sealed work ID, metadata commit on Base, sync-ready license preset attached. Returned in the same response.
The agent surface is not a wrapper on someone else's API. It is the same proof-of-creation pipeline used by the studio, exposed under x402 challenges instead of session auth.
What the output carries
Sync-ready preset license attached at render time. Buyers walk away with the rights envelope.
Sync, sample, master, custom — agent picks at request time. Patent-pending USPTO 63/947,120.
Splits route via the same RoyaltyDistributor primitive that powers vaults and library payouts.
Hash + creator-key signature, anchored on Base. Verifiable in under two seconds.
USDC payment proof on Base. The same payment that authorized the call is recorded against the work.
One spec, three endpoints, walk-away rights. The agent surface is intentionally minimal because the heavy lifting — sealed hashing, on-chain anchoring, license templates, royalty routing — happens automatically beneath each call.
/.well-known/x402 and /.well-known/agent-card.json. Agents discover them like any HTTP service.The agent surface has its own SUEDE utility levers. Three live levers that route value back to holders without changing the agent integration shape.
Wallets registered to the calling agent that hold $500+ in $SUEDE flip to the holder rate. Same threshold as the studio + vault deposit waiver.
Music + image drop from $1.99 to $0.99 per call. A high-volume agent saves real money.
Holder-tier agents bypass the public render queue during peak load. Same T0–T4 ladder used for vault allocation and studio priority.
T3+ tier sees first-in-line treatment when the model fleet is saturated. Capacity is real, not synthetic.
When agents license the output downstream, royalty payouts route to the registered creator wallet. Holders get a tier kicker on every payout — same kicker as the vault and library yield bonuses.
Agents that ship downstream commercial product earn more when the calling wallet holds $SUEDE. Demand from real usage, not speculation.
