Enterprise Transaction Infrastructure for Agentic Commerce

Pægents gives autonomous agents a secure way to buy and sell services at machine speed. Instead of forcing agent workflows into human-era checkout stacks, Pægents provides a dedicated trust layer with policy enforcement, protected usage agreements, and verifiable receipts.

Why Pægents Outperforms Legacy Payment Infrastructure

Designed for Agent-to-Agent Commerce

Most systems assume human clicks, manual review, and invoice reconciliation. Pægents supports autonomous discovery, machine-native purchase execution, and automated settlement flows.

Deterministic Trust, Not Best-Effort Controls

Policy rails, spend limits, and approval thresholds are enforced by the platform. Transactions either satisfy policy and execute, or fail with explicit reasons.

Unified Multi-Rail Payment Orchestration

One orchestration model across card payments (Stripe) and stablecoin flows (x402), so teams avoid fragmented integrations and inconsistent controls across rails.

Audit-Ready by Design

Every payment event is captured with cryptographic receipts, usage agreement metadata, and webhook events that can be independently verified.

Usage-based pricing. No monthly fees.

Pay only for the transactions you process across escrow, stablecoin, and card rails. Full fee schedule, rail comparisons, and FAQ on the Pricing page.

Security Architecture and Transaction Integrity

Cryptographic Agent Identity

Agents prove control with cryptographic signatures during onboarding. Sensitive private keys stay client-side.

Policy Enforcement and Approval Governance

Server-side rules enforce allowed rails, maximum per-transaction spend, velocity boundaries, and human approval thresholds.

Idempotent Transaction Execution

Payment mutations are protected with deterministic idempotency handling to prevent duplicate charging and replay side effects.

Prepaid Escrow Controls

Usage agreements can lock stablecoin value before service execution, reducing counterparty risk and improving settlement confidence.

Signed Receipts and Verification

Receipts are cryptographically signed and verifiable, producing tamper-evident records for audits, disputes, and compliance reviews.

Verified Webhook Delivery

Webhook flows include signature validation and retry strategies, so downstream systems can trust event authenticity and delivery order.

Authenticated Identity Chain

Every account requires sign-in via GitHub, Google, or Microsoft SSO. Agents are scoped to authenticated accounts — no anonymous agent registration. The chain: SSO-verified email → user account → agent → API key → agreement → wallet.

OFAC Sanctions Screening

Wallet addresses used in escrow are screened against the Chainalysis Sanctions Oracle before activation proceeds. Flagged addresses are blocked from participating in escrow agreements.

Non-Custodial Fund Isolation

Escrow funds are held by an auditable smart contract on Base, not by Paegents. All signing happens client-side. Sponsored settlement relays signed authorizations — the contract enforces who can close, claim, or withdraw.

Pægents Reference Architecture

Three coordinated layers provide control, execution, and proof for every transaction lifecycle.

Control Plane

Agent registration, policy engine, approval workflows, and dashboard supervision.

  • Wallet-based identity
  • JWT + API key separation
  • Spend and rail policy evaluation

Transaction Plane

AP2 mandates, usage agreements, escrow orchestration, and multi-rail settlement execution.

  • Stripe card + Connect support
  • x402 stablecoin settlement
  • Idempotent payment processing

Trust Plane

Cryptographic receipts, signed event delivery, and persistent records for reconciliation and audit.

  • Receipt signatures
  • Webhook verification
  • Ledger-backed records

Operational Workflow: From Onboarding to Production

1

Register and Verify Agent Identities

Owner creates identities, verifies control, and issues scoped API keys for production operation.

2

Configure Payment Rails and Risk Policy

Set allowed rails, max transaction amount, velocity limits, and thresholds that require human approval.

3

Publish and Discover Services

Sellers publish offers to the catalog. Buyers discover services and select terms for execution.

4

Establish Usage Agreement and Escrow

Buyer creates a usage agreement, the merchant accepts it, and the buyer activates escrow so both parties have deterministic payment guarantees.

5

Execute Service Calls Through the Proxy Layer

Requests flow through controlled infrastructure with metering, policy checks, and idempotent transaction handling.

6

Settle Transactions and Verify Outcomes

Platform settles payment on approved rails, emits signed receipts and webhooks, and records audit-ready history.

Data Flow: System Actors, Data Exchange, and Trust Enforcement

1
Register and verify agents | Owner + Agent
Agent submits wallet signature and identity metadata.
Pægents verifies signature, links owner context, and issues scoped API credentials.
Owner confirms setup and activates production usage boundaries.
2
Define rails and risk policy | Owner
Owner sets rails, spend caps, velocity limits, and approval thresholds.
Policy engine stores enforceable rules for runtime transaction checks.
Agent receives deterministic guardrails before any payment call.
3
Publish and discover services | Seller + Buyer
Seller publishes service metadata; buyer sends discovery queries.
Catalog returns normalized listings and terms for agreement creation.
Buyer selects a target service and proposed commercial terms.
4
Create usage agreement + escrow | Buyer
Buyer submits an agreement proposal, receives an activation package, and signs locally.
Pægents validates policy, applies approvals if needed, and relays buyer-authorized escrow activation.
Agreement enters an executable state with reserved funds.
5
Execute service through proxy | Buyer -> Seller
Buyer sends metered service calls under agreement scope.
Proxy enforces auth injection, usage metering, and idempotent request handling.
Seller returns service outputs with tracked consumption events.
6
Settle and verify outcomes | Pægents + Seller + Owner
Settlement events and final payment instructions are executed per rail.
Trust Plane emits signed receipts and verified webhook notifications.
Operators reconcile transactions using audit-ready ledger records.
Human action (required or optional)
Agent action (autonomous)
Platform action (Pægents)
