Stip

spend policy for software

Humans authorize a USDC budget. Software spends it. APIs charge via HTTP 402 (x402). Stip does not take custody of principal.

Live on Avalanche C-Chain and Base

We paid Tavily $0.01 USDC on Base for a live search. 0x68f2…5b65

How it works
  1. An operator pays 20 USDC per month on Avalanche C-Chain and sets a policy: which agent may spend, daily and per-transaction caps, an allowlist of payTo addresses, and an expiry.
  2. You send native Circle USDC to the agent EOA on Avalanche C-Chain or Base. Stip never holds that balance.
  3. When an API returns HTTP 402, the agent signs an EIP-3009 authorization. Native USDC goes to the seller on Avalanche C-Chain or Base. Stip records the spend against the policy. Revoke at any time.
