And anyone selling things agents want to buy. pahz sits on the client side of x402, so both sides benefit without either needing an account with the other.
Give your research or coding agent 5 USDC and an allowlist. Read the meter at the end of the day. Never enter a card into an agent again.
One tab per agent, budgets per team, meters rolled up. Finance gets a single Base settlement trail instead of forty API invoices.
Add x402 to your endpoint. pahz tabs pay you in USDC on Base at settlement, no signup, no invoicing, no chargebacks. List in the directory to get on allowlists.
Wrap fetch once. Every agent built on your framework gains a spend-limited tab and an owner-readable meter.
Runtimes that already bound what an agent may do can hand pahz the "what it may buy" part. A tab is the payments half of a leash.
Price per call, meter per buyer, settle on Base. Tabs make agent-to-service commerce possible without either side trusting the other.
Large or infrequent payments. A tab is for many small payments at machine speed; for a single $2,000 transfer, use a wallet and a human.
Payments to people. Tabs pay x402 endpoints. If the counterparty is a person with an address, that is a transfer, not a call.
Chains other than Base, today. x402 settles in USDC on Base; that is where the economics of sub-cent payments work.
