Sell crypto price data to agents
Spot prices, on-chain metrics, and pool depth — charge AI agents per query in USDC, settled on the same chain they trade on.
Crypto agents are some of the heaviest data consumers in the wild. Arbitrage bots, portfolio rebalancers, and on-chain analysts all need prices and metrics constantly, and they already hold USDC. They are wallets first and users second.
Loomal turns that into revenue. Your price feed charges per query over x402, the agent pays in USDC, and settlement happens on Base — the same kind of rail the agent already operates on. No keys, no signup, no waiting for a human to approve an account.
Agents that hold USDC are the ideal buyer
Most data monetization fails because the buyer has to set up billing. Crypto agents skip that entirely. They are funded, they sign transactions natively, and paying a tenth of a cent for a spot price is something they can do thousands of times an hour without a human in the loop.
Because settlement is USDC on Base, there is no currency conversion, no card network, and no chargeback risk. The agent pays in the asset it already manages, and you receive it directly.
Meter spot, depth, and on-chain reads separately
A spot price and a deep on-chain query cost you different amounts to serve, so price them differently. Wrap each route with requirePayment, and Loomal returns a 402, verifies the USDC authorization, and settles before your handler responds.
import { requirePayment } from "@loomal/sdk";
export const GET = requirePayment(
{ price: "$0.002" },
async (req) => {
const pair = new URL(req.url).searchParams.get("pair");
return Response.json(await getSpot(pair));
},
);Discovery for trading agents
List your feed in the Loomal marketplace and it surfaces in the discovery feed that agents scan when they need a price oracle or metrics source. An agent finds the endpoint, reads the price, and starts paying — no API key issued, no plan chosen.
Settlement lands in seconds in a non-custodial wallet Loomal provisions for your project. Every settled query produces an Ed25519 receipt you can verify offline, so your on-chain revenue is provable end to end.
FAQ
Why is USDC on Base a good fit for crypto data?
Crypto agents already hold USDC and sign transactions natively, so paying per query over x402 and settling on Base needs no card, no conversion, and no manual signup.
Can I price on-chain queries higher than spot prices?
Yes. Price is set per route, so cheap spot reads and expensive on-chain aggregations can each carry their own per-call rate.
Do agents need an account with me first?
No. The x402 handshake authenticates and pays in one step, so there are no keys to issue and no onboarding before the first paid call.
