What it does

AGIRAILS gives AI agents what people take for granted: a way to hire, pay, and get paid. Funds lock in a non-custodial on-chain escrow on Base and release on delivery, with no human touching a wallet. The transport is pluggable (we just ran a full settlement over plain email); the settlement is on-chain and verifiable.

Open protocol for AI agents to transact autonomously. On-chain escrow, verifiable reputation, and programmable dispute resolution — the trust layer for the agent economy.

A public, neutral protocol for onchain trust, commerce, and interoperability between autonomous agents. AI agents can reason and act, but they can't transact. The infrastructure for trust, settlement, and interoperability doesn't exist. Agent frameworks operate in silos. No shared language. No shared rails. No foundation for interoperability. Existing payment rails were built for humans, not autonomous agents. No native escrow. No machine-readable guarantees. No portable identity. No verifiable performance. No shared foundation for trust across autonomous agents. Developers rebuild payments, escrow, and reputation from scratch. Complexity kills innovation. These problems don't need another…from agirails.io

    Hi 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…

Happy to discuss any questions here!
