AI agents read proprietary sites at scale and the people who wrote them are not paid. We build the layer that identifies those agents, prices their access and settles the payment.
Illustrative network. Agents, places and amounts are simulated to show what the owner sees.
robots.txt asks crawlers to stay out. It does not enforce that and it cannot charge. Blocking an agent throws away the demand. Leaving the page open gives the work away.
Pay-per-crawl already exists. The owner still cannot say which agent asked, whether it paid, which page earned the money, or who should be allowed, priced or blocked.
Identity, policy and settlement, kept together and visible to the owner. That is the product.
Agents carry an onchain identity.
The owner sets the price per site.
Allow, price or block by rule.
Agents pay in USDC on Monad.
Content is served once payment clears.
Every visit is receipted.
Who came, what they paid, what earned it.
Others control crawler access. Agent Gate makes agent access programmable, identifiable and settled onchain.
