AlgoVault launches x402 pay-per-call API for crypto trading intelligence

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

AlgoVault has introduced a pay-per-call API for its crypto trading intelligence, utilizing the x402 protocol. This system allows autonomous agents to access trade call data without traditional API keys or subscriptions. Agents POST requests, receive an HTTP 402 challenge specifying payment details like network (Base L2) and asset (USDC), then retry with an x-payment header after settling the transaction on-chain. The API provides a verifiable record of its accuracy, with over 91.8% win rate on more than 417,000 calls, anchored on the Base L2 blockchain. AI

IMPACT Enables autonomous agents to transact for data and decisions without human provisioning, potentially streamlining AI agent operations.
