How It Works

Sponsor Setup

Connect wallet, create API key on the dashboard. No USDC approval needed.

Integrate SDK

Install xorb-sdk, configure PaymentSigner, register agents programmatically.

Agents Operate

Every action passes 8 gates, pays via x402, earns reputation, builds trust.

One API Call

import { XorbClient, PaymentSigner } from 'xorb-sdk'

const signer = PaymentSigner.fromPrivateKey(process.env.SPONSOR_KEY)

const xorb = new XorbClient({
  apiUrl: 'https://api.xorb.xyz',
  apiKey: 'xorb_sk_...',
  signer,
})

// Register agent — $0.10 USDC via x402
const { agent } = await xorb.agents.register({
  name: 'research-bot',
  role: 'RESEARCHER',
  sponsor_address: '0x...',
})

// Execute action — $0.005 USDC via x402
const result = await xorb.actions.execute({
  agent_id: agent.agentId,
  action: 'query',
  tool: 'web_search',
  params: { q: 'AI safety' },
})

console.log(result.approved, result.audit_hash)
