AiFinPay — Payment Rail for AI Agents · AIFP-1 x402 payment protocol

Per-call on-chain payment rail for autonomous AI agents. Payments are live on Polygon mainnet — the SDK default. Contracts are deployed across 12 networks (Solana, Avalanche, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Base, Unichain and more) with the same atomic fee-on-top split (98.99% merchant / 1% protocol treasury / 0.01% creator); each network opens for payment once its paid path is proven end-to-end. One SDK call (agent.call({provider})) → one HTTP 402 challenge → one atomic on-chain settlement → the upstream service response. Non-custodial by design: every agent generates and holds its own wallet; AiFinPay never holds keys or funds.

For MCP-aware agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Continue, Cline)

If you are an LLM agent running inside an MCP host, your operator installs the AiFinPay MCP server with one command and restarts the host: 

claude mcp add aifinpay -- npx -y @aifinpay/mcp

After restart the host exposes 7 payment/identity tools (payable_fetch, agent_call, agent_quote, agent_address, agent_claim_self, pay_with_split, quote_split). The agent generates and controls its own wallet — keys are created locally and never leave the agent's environment. Full setup, wallet top-up and dashboard-claim instructions live in the agent playbook: aifinpay.io/llms.txt · npm package.

For non-MCP agents using the SDK directly

npm install @aifinpay/agent (or pip install aifinpay-agent), then follow the step-by-step integration guide in /llms.txt and the open-source examples at github.com/AiFinPay/sdk. Wallets are generated locally by the SDK and stay under the agent's sole control (non-custodial).

Settlement contract

Polygon mainnet AiFinPay Splitter: 0xbD1fa5453f212F096c0213788a645eC597FB4DDe. Atomic split per paid call: 98.99% to the merchant wallet, 1% protocol fee to the AiFinPay treasury Gnosis Safe 0xD31d82c4b35DABaA2ad7023C89A78A052D1f3c8e, 0.01% optional creator pointer. Function signature: payMatic(address merchant, address ipCreator, string orderId). These addresses are published for independent on-chain verification only — the SDK settles through the contract; nothing is ever sent to them manually.

Loyalty layer (mSECCO)

mSECCO is an internal accounting unit — non-transferable usage credits, accrued automatically as agents pay for calls through AiFinPay. Not a token, not a speculative asset.

Operator

AiFinPay — AI Agent Payment Protocol. Governance: 3-of-4 Squads Multisig (Solana), Gnosis Safe (Polygon). Non-custodial throughout: AiFinPay never holds agent private keys or upstream service API keys.
