Pay-per-request proxy egress for AI agents — USDC per call over x402, settled on-chain.
One IP gets throttled and banned the moment an agent scrapes at volume.
A single location sees one slice of the web. The rest is walled off by region.
Existing proxy networks need accounts, KYC and contracts — built for humans, not agents.
x402 turns the HTTP 402 status into a real payment. We use it to meter egress: one signed USDC payment buys one request through our IPs.
The signed payment is the auth. Nothing to provision or rotate.
Pay $0.001 a call. No subscription, no minimum, no invoice.
A funded wallet can buy egress anywhere, instantly — no signup.
Free /catalog returns price + egress IP. No signup.
Unpaid call returns 402. Agent signs USDC and retries.
Gateway settles gaslessly. We fetch through our egress IP, stream back.
Every call lands in a ledger with its tx hash. Stops at the budget cap.

Reach paywalled and geo-restricted sources that block a datacenter IP on sight.
Pull prices and listings at volume, dodging the 429s that kill a single-IP crawler.
Geo-test a product from many exits — see what a user in another region sees.
Metered egress is a primitive: cents per call, no plan, no key.
