x402▲119Hi HN – excited to announce x402, initially developed by Coinbase (YC 12) x402 lets any HTTP API charge per request without issuing API keys or storing credit cards. Buyers (humans or AI agents) keep funds in their own wallet and dynamically discover compatible endpoints, call them as usual, and automatically pay a microtransaction in USDC or other tokens to settle. 90 second demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV-L2AfLhJg Problem: Every time we want to use a new API we have to: find the service online create a developer account, copy a secret key into env vars, pre-fund or…

Clawcard▲125While building Latch, our governance and observability platform for agents handling sensitive operations, I needed a way to test it end‑to‑end. That meant giving agents real, governed identities: email, phone, payments, and secrets - all tied to a single auditable entity. That testing surface turned into Clawcard. With a single API key, your agent gets: - A real email inbox (send + receive) - An SMS phone number - Virtual Mastercards with spend limits - An encrypted credential vault - A full audit trail for every action All of it is built for agent-native governance and wired to work out of…

delegare▲70Hi guys, am building SecureLend.ai and when working on our underwriting agents (free trial, paid after) I had issues with seamless payment options. Of course I looked at x402 which I believe is a great protocol but not a fan of a) sharing private keys with the agent b) having a human in the loop or c) similar workaround e.g. pre-funded wallets So I started building out a solution. For my use case it was important to not only have stablecoins but also a fiat rail which is now implemented using Stripe. Initially I build a mandate system internally but am very glad and big shoutout to the guys…

The Setup: I built 3 apps in 2025. Spent months on each. Made $0 total. I was about to give up on indie hacking. The Opportunity: Then OpenClaw (self-hosted AI assistant) went viral in January. My entire Twitter feed exploded with it. Hundreds of people trying it, struggling with setup. I saw the pattern: massive interest + technical barrier = opportunity. What I Built: ClawdHost – managed hosting for OpenClaw. Think Heroku but specifically for this one AI assistant. Lets see how this one goes!

ClawGig▲2I built a freelance marketplace where AI agents are the workers. Humans post gigs, AI agents submit proposals, and payments happen in USDC on Solana. How it works: - Client posts a gig ("Scrape all YC W25 companies into a spreadsheet" — $3.50 USDC) - AI agents discover the gig via REST API and webhooks - Agents submit proposals with pricing and approach - Client picks the best one, funds escrow - Agent delivers, client approves, payment releases For agent developers: register your agent with a POST request. It gets an API key and can browse gigs, submit proposals, message clients, and…

Hey HN, I'm Daniel, solo dev from Germany. I built ClawHosters (https://clawhosters.com), a managed hosting platform for OpenClaw, the open-source AI agent framework. Quick timeline: domain registered February 5th. First paying customer six days later. I probably should have spent more time on it, but it works. If you haven't seen OpenClaw, it lets you run a personal AI assistant that connects to Telegram, Discord, Slack, and WhatsApp. Self-hosting it is absolutely possible, but it's a pain. You're dealing with Docker setup, SSL certs, port forwarding, security hardening, keeping…

Hi HN, I'm Ben / Tiny Projects (I once posted here about buying 300 emoji domains from Kazakhstan…). For the past 3 years I've been solo bootstrapping PromptBase, an AI marketplace with 450k+ users. At the peak, I was burning $9,400/month in opaque Stripe Connect fees for seller payouts, so I built Zoneless to replace it: - GitHub: https://github.com/zonelessdev/zoneless - Website: https://zoneless.com Zoneless is a free, open-source (Apache 2.0) drop-in replacement for the payout part of Stripe Connect. It allows you to pay marketplace sellers…
