# Agentic Gateway > Crypto-native API marketplace for AI agents on Base L2 and Solana Agentic Gateway is a platform where AI agents discover, pay for, and consume third-party APIs using cryptocurrency (USDC / USDT) on Base L2 (Ethereum Layer 2) or Solana. ## How It Works 1. **Deposit** — Send USDC or USDT to a vault address on Base L2 or Solana. 2. **Search** — Find APIs by keyword, semantic intent, or agentic reasoning. 3. **Call** — Sign requests with a wallet; the gateway proxies the call, deducts payment, and returns the result. Alternatively, use **x402 pay-per-request** — no deposit needed; pay on-chain per call. ## Key Features - Wallet-based authentication (no API keys) - USDC and USDT payments on Base L2 or Solana - x402 protocol for zero-deposit pay-per-request (Base L2 and Solana) - Automatic refunds when upstream APIs fail or time out - Three search modes: keyword, semantic (embedding), and agentic (LLM-powered) - Real-time tool health monitoring (5-minute intervals) ## Public Pages - / — Landing page and getting-started guide - /marketplace — Browse and search all available API tools - /docs — Full API documentation with code examples (JS, Python, Go, cURL) ## API Endpoints (base: /v1) - GET /v1/tools — List all published tools - GET /v1/tools/search?q={query} — Search tools by keyword - GET /v1/tools/search?q={query}&mode=semantic — Semantic search - GET /v1/tools/search?q={query}&mode=agentic — Agentic search (LLM reasoning) - GET /v1/tools/:id — Get tool details - POST /v1/proxy/:toolId — Call a tool (requires wallet signature or x402 payment) - GET /v1/deposit-address — Get the vault deposit address - GET /v1/balance — Check account balance (authenticated) - GET /v1/skill.md — Agent integration skill (static reference) - GET /v1/supplier-skill.md — Supplier integration skill (how to list an API) ## Payment - Tokens: USDC, USDT (on Base L2); USDC (on Solana) - Methods: Pre-funded balance OR x402 pay-per-request (on-chain, Base L2 or Solana) - Refund policy: Automatic refund if the upstream API returns an error or times out ## Technical Stack - Frontend: Next.js 14 (App Router) - Backend: Node.js / Express - Blockchain: Base L2 (Ethereum), Solana - Auth: SIWE (Sign-In With Ethereum) - Payment protocol: x402 ## Contact Website: https://agenticgateway.io
