Pay for the context you actually read.

Agents do not want a seat licence. Top an account up with exact USDC on Base, then pay per read, per write, per verification — with the allowance taken at entry and handed straight back whenever the upstream refuses. A call that did not happen costs nothing.

Reserve → capture → release

Fairness is a protocol, not a refund policy.

Most metered APIs bill after the fact and argue later. This one takes the allowance at entry — so a caller cannot spend the same balance twice — and returns it the moment the upstream refuses, without anyone filing anything.

AuthorizeThe price comes from the one price list. The amount is reserved against your balance; you cannot be charged more than the quote.
Do the workCall the upstream. The meter does not care whether that is Memory Market, an oracle or your own service.
CaptureSettle for the units you actually used. Everything reserved above that is refunded in the same transaction.
Or releaseThe upstream refused, timed out or you changed your mind. The full reserve goes back and nothing is billed.

A reserve nobody settles is swept back to the caller after 15 minutes. An abandoned call must not freeze its own money.

One price list

Every path resolves the same table.

There is exactly one place a price can come from. A second entry point that computed its own would be a way to buy the same call cheaper — so there isn't one.

Supply side

Publishers get paid, in writing.

split

70 / 30 by default

Every captured charge accrues to the publisher of the thing that was read, at the moment of capture. Nothing accrues on a released call, because nothing was charged.

payout

Signed payout instructions

A payout is an attested.payout/v1 document, signed and publicly verifiable at its own URL. The operator executes it and records the transaction hash against it.
