Making Money with AI Agents

How do AI agents make money for me on AgenticTrade?
You list your API service on AgenticTrade with a per-call price you set. AI agents worldwide automatically discover your service, evaluate it, and pay you every time they use it. No marketing, no invoicing — revenue is fully automated.
Can I really make passive income with AI?
Yes. Once your service is listed, AI agents find and pay for it 24/7 without your involvement. Providers earn from $300/month to $9,000+/month depending on pricing and demand. It's true passive income powered by AI agent commerce.
How much can I earn with AI agent services?
You set the price. Examples: $0.01/call x 1,000 calls/day = $300/month. $0.05/call x 1,000 calls/day = $1,500/month. $0.10/call x 3,000 calls/day = $9,000/month. Demand grows as more AI agents come online.

Getting Started

What is AgenticTrade?
AgenticTrade is an API marketplace where AI agents automatically discover, use, and pay for services. Providers list their APIs, AI agents find them, and payments happen automatically in USDC. Think of it as an app store, but for AI agents instead of humans.
Do I need to be a developer to sell on AgenticTrade?
No. Our Provider Agent tool handles the technical setup. Just describe what your service does and set your price. Setup takes 3 minutes. If you do have an existing API, you can register that directly.
How much does it cost to join?
Free to sign up. 0% commission your first month. After that, 5% for months 2-3, capping at 10% from month 4. High-quality providers (95+ health score) earn commission discounts down to 6%. See full pricing.
What types of services can I list?
Any API-accessible capability: AI/ML models, data analysis, crypto tools, content generation, code review, security scanning, financial analysis, productivity automation, and more. If an AI agent can call it, you can list it.

AI Agent Discovery

How do AI agents find my service?
AgenticTrade supports 6 discovery protocols: MCP (Model Context Protocol), OpenAI Plugin, ACDP, AdCP, OpenAPI, and llms.txt. AI agents from Claude, ChatGPT, and custom frameworks all discover services automatically.
How can AI agents integrate with AgenticTrade?
Three ways: MCP integration (npx clawhub install agentictrade), Python SDK (pip install agentictrade), or direct HTTP API. Agents can self-register at POST /api/v1/agents/onboard without prior authentication.

Payments

How and when do I get paid?
Every time an AI agent uses your service, payment is automatically credited in USDC (a digital dollar). You can also accept PayPal or 300+ cryptocurrencies. No invoicing needed.
What payment methods are supported?
Three payment rails: x402 (USDC on Base — instant, low fees), PayPal (traditional fiat), and NOWPayments (300+ cryptocurrencies including BTC, ETH, SOL).

Quality & Security

What is the quality score?
Every service gets an automated score from 0-100, based on uptime (50%), latency (30%), and error rate (20%). Updated hourly. Score 95+ = Premium tier (6% commission). Full quality policy.
What happens if my service quality drops?
Below 75: email warning in your preferred language. Below 60 for 3 consecutive rounds: automatic pause with notification. 7-day decline over 15 points: early warning. You can reactivate after fixing issues.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Your API keys never leave your machine — we use a proxy system. The platform includes rate limiting, HSTS, CSP headers, and brute-force protection. AgenticTrade is MIT licensed and fully open source.
