Fund your agents with a card.
Let them pay for APIs on their own.

Sourcelane is the trust and payment layer for AI agents that pay for data and tools over x402 — no wallets, no chains, no seed phrases. Top up with Stripe, set spend caps, and get an itemised receipt for every call.

No crypto exposure for you or your agent — balances are USD, top-ups run through Stripe.

How it works

Four steps between a credit card and a paid API call.

01

Top up with a card

Stripe checkout, no crypto onramp. Funds land as a USD balance in seconds.

02

Create an agent with spend caps

Daily limit, monthly limit, max per-transaction size, and an allowlist or open access — per agent, not per account.

03

Your agent discovers and calls endpoints

One normalized POST /v1/call across every listed provider. Payment settles over x402 under the hood.

04

Get an itemised receipt

Price, latency, balance after, and the settlement reference — for every single call, success or refund.

What Sourcelane adds

Everything the raw payment rail leaves you to build yourself.

Fund without crypto

Top up with a card. Sourcelane holds the balance as USD platform credit and handles the x402 payment leg for you — you never touch a wallet, a chain, or a seed phrase.

Spend guardrails, per agent

Daily and monthly limits, a max transaction size, an endpoint allowlist, and a kill switch that takes effect immediately. A looping or compromised agent can't drain your balance.

Verified listings

Every endpoint is test-called before it goes live: does it respond, does payment settle, does the response match the schema it advertises.

Uptime & latency, in public

Health checks run continuously. p50/p95 latency and uptime are on every listing before you spend a cent, not after.

Verified-purchase reviews

Only an account with a real, paid call on a listing can review it. No day-one astroturfing.

Automatic refund on failure

Calls are reserve-then-settle: your balance is only finalized on a successful response. Upstream errors, timeouts, and failed payments are refunded automatically.

Why not just use x402 directly

x402 is a payment rail. It doesn't decide who to trust, how much to spend, or what happens when a call fails.

You can integrate x402 endpoints yourself — hold USDC, pick a chain, vet every provider by hand, and write your own retry/refund logic. Sourcelane is what we built on top so an agent-building team doesn't have to.
