Nano Empire – Open-source MCP gateway with x402 micropayments and A2A routing

Описание и применение

Nano Empire предоставляет микроплатёжный шлюз для AI‑агентов, позволяя оплачивать вызовы инструментов без подписок и обеспечивая субмиллисекундную маршрутизацию и делегирование вычислений.

Задача

Monetization bottleneck for AI agent tools: existing MCP servers either consume developer API credits for free or require $20/month SaaS tiers that autonomous agents cannot subscribe to.

Результат

Nano Empire enables autonomous agents to pay per tool call without subscriptions, achieving sub‑millisecond latency (p99 0.02 ms for 100 concurrent requests) and efficient compute delegation.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Agent discovers available tools via /mcp/manifest.
• 2. Agent sends request with x-402-receipt header to pay $0.01–$0.50 USDC per call.
• 3. Cerberus router selects optimal backend using UCB1 and Bloom filter guard.
• 4. If heavy compute required, agent POSTs to /a2a/delegate to subcontract to GPU cluster.
• 5. Payment settles on Solana USDC chain; agent receives receipt and tool response.
• 6. Agent processes response and continues workflow.

Доказательства

Our agent just ran a full 8‑phase self‑demonstration—discovering the tools, hitting the paywall, settling on‑chain, and capturing an arbitrage task in 1,022ms (p99 latency 0.02ms for 100 concurrent requests).
