The settlement layer forAI agent payments
When AI agents start buying their own compute, they need a payment layer that settles instantly, onchain, per request. AIC is the token that powers every transaction. Early buyers lock in at $0.01 before automatic price step-ups toward a $0.12 listing target.

AI Settlement Layer
Every AI inference request settles onchain. More AI usage means more AIC demand.
Real Token Utility
AIC powers payments, staking rewards, and governance -- not just speculation.
Transparent & Secure
Automatic phase pricing, public vesting schedule, and verified smart contracts.
Built on Proven Infrastructure
Real technology. Real ecosystem. Real utility.
AIC is built on established, battle-tested infrastructure -- not vaporware. Every component is open, verifiable, and designed for production-grade AI payments.

These are the technologies powering the protocol. Ecosystem references indicate integration, not endorsement.
The Problem
AI is going autonomous. Payments haven't caught up.
Every AI API today assumes a human with a credit card. But the next wave of demand comes from software that needs to buy compute by itself, per request, in real time.
AI APIs assume a human customer
Most inference products are built around accounts, monthly billing, and stored payment methods. That works for teams. It does not work for software that needs to pay per request, in real time, by itself.
Agents cannot operate natively
Autonomous agents can call tools and make decisions, but they still struggle to buy compute. Without machine-native payments, every agent workflow depends on a human-owned billing account behind the scenes.
Closed payment rails limit model access
Developers are forced into fragmented vendor contracts and platform-specific credits. That slows experimentation, restricts routing across models, and makes open access to inference harder than it should be.
The economic layer is missing
AI demand is scaling faster than the infrastructure for settling small, frequent, programmatic payments. The bottleneck is no longer only model quality. It is the lack of payment rails designed for software-to-software commerce.
The Solution
One protocol. Pay onchain. Get inference.
webai3.protocol lets any application or agent buy model inference with a single API call. Payment settles onchain. Compute executes immediately. No accounts, no invoices, no vendor lock-in.
Programmable payment rail
Payments are initiated directly by code, using blockchain-based settlement that can be embedded into any AI workflow.
Inference access layer
Applications and agents can request model execution without negotiating separate billing relationships with each provider.
Open settlement and delivery
The protocol verifies payment, routes the request, executes inference, and returns the result in one integrated flow.
Onchain payment intent
Inference request routing
Result settlement
How It Works
Four steps from request to result
Simple enough for a developer to integrate in an afternoon. Robust enough for autonomous agents to run continuously at scale.
Step 1
User or agent submits a request
An application, workflow, or autonomous agent sends an inference request to the protocol with the model and task it needs.

Demand origin
Signal
Request is machine-readable and payment-aware

Token Economics
Every inference request flows value through the token
More usage means more payments. More payments mean more protocol revenue. AIC holders are aligned with the growth of the entire AI inference market.

Why This Wins
The protocol at the center of a trillion-dollar shift
When software becomes the primary buyer of AI, the payment layer becomes infrastructure. Whoever builds it captures value from every transaction in the ecosystem.
Four reasons this matters
Strategic Importance
Agents need spending rails
Autonomous systems cannot scale if every payment path still assumes a human account owner.
The opportunity is timely because AI demand is already here, while the payment rails for autonomous, per-request commerce are still being built.
Market Timing
Three stages. The window to build is now.
AI demand is evolving from human-managed APIs to fully autonomous agent commerce. Each stage unlocks more value for the protocol positioned at the payment layer.
From software automation to software commerce
Now
Applications start buying AI dynamically
Inference is shifting from fixed subscriptions to request-level demand inside software products.
01
Apps route prompts to multiple models in real time
02
Developers optimize cost and latency per request
03
Payment logic starts moving closer to the API call
Who's Building
Credibility comes from visibility
Presales fail when users can't answer: who's behind this, and how do I verify it? We design for transparency across addresses, terms, and public artifacts.
Team profiles
Team profiles will be published publicly prior to launch. Until then, rely on verifiable signals: confirm network and addresses in checkout, and read the Risk Disclosure before participating.

FAQ
Common questions before you buy
The fastest way to avoid mistakes is to verify: network, token address, treasury address, and the live phase price. Current live phase: Phase 1 on Ethereum Sepolia.
>What do I need to participate?
A compatible wallet and funds in the payment asset shown in the checkout. When you click Continue, you will be redirected to the presale checkout to complete the transaction onchain.
>Which assets can I pay with?
The checkout supports USDC, USDT, and ETH by default (and may support more depending on configuration). Your exact payment options will be shown before you sign.
>Which network is the presale on?
The presale runs on the network shown in the Trust Pack and in the checkout UI. Always confirm the network and receiving address in the checkout before sending funds.
>What happens if I enter the wrong amount or make a mistake?
Onchain transactions are generally irreversible. Do not proceed if the token address, treasury address, network, or amounts do not match what you expect.
>When do I receive and claim my tokens?
Presale tokens vest over 6 months: 30% unlocks at TGE (token generation event), 35% at TGE + 3 months, and the remaining 35% at TGE + 6 months. Claims are enabled only after the presale is finalized and liquidity has been provisioned onchain.
>Where do my funds go?
Every purchase is automatically split into purpose-locked vaults: 70% to the Liquidity Vault (launch liquidity depth), 15% to the Dev Runway Vault (dual-gated R&D budget), 10% to the Team Stream Vault (linear operational stream), and 5% to the Marketing Vault (locked until presale finalization). No single party can redirect or bypass this routing.
>Are there per-wallet caps?
Phase 1 has a per-wallet cap of $25,000 USDC. Phase 2 has a per-wallet cap of $50,000 USDC. From Phase 3 onward, there are no per-wallet caps.
>How does the presale end?
The presale finalizes permissionlessly when either the $7M hard cap is reached or the immutable end timestamp passes. No admin can close the sale early. After finalization, liquidity is provisioned before claims are enabled.
>Are there eligibility or region restrictions?
You are responsible for understanding and complying with your local laws and any eligibility requirements described in the Terms and Risk Disclosure.

Vision
An internet where software buys intelligence as easily as it calls an API
The future is autonomous software transacting continuously: agents hiring agents, applications purchasing inference on demand, and AI services competing for global demand in real time.
In that world, payments can't be an enterprise process bolted on after the fact. They need to be programmable, verifiable, and native to code. webai3.protocol is designed for exactly that transition.
If agents become the primary buyers of compute, the protocol that handles their payments becomes foundational infrastructure.
