Solutions

Usage-based billing for AI products.

Charge for inference, tools, and API calls with credit-backed settlement. Customers pay as they go while your collateral earns yield, making per-task pricing viable at scale.

Per-call monetization

Bill each request with cryptographic guarantees instead of invoices.

Yield on collateral

Deposits route through Aave and accrue yield while they back payments.

Production-ready SDKs

TypeScript and Python clients wrap your existing HTTP stack.

Use cases

Built for ai companies workflows

Give each stakeholder the payment primitives they need: instant authorization, clear limits, and settlement that stays easy to audit.

For API teams

Monetize each inference

Price model calls, tool calls, embeddings, and data lookups without forcing prepaid balances.

Meter premium endpoints

Add payment checks to routes that are too costly to leave unmetered.

Serve new customers faster

Let crypto-native users and agents start paying immediately from an existing wallet.

For finance and ops

Reconcile by settlement cycle

Group many small requests into clear receivables and on-chain settlement records.

Offset costs with yield

Collateral can earn while it backs usage, helping reduce the cost of payment operations.

Process

Start with ai companies in 3 steps

The path is deliberately small: configure the payment session, verify each request, then settle the cycle with durable records.

  1. 01

    Add pricing to protected routes

    Define which API endpoints require payment and what each request costs.

  2. 02

    Verify payment headers

    Use the middleware to validate x402-compatible guarantees before compute is spent.

  3. 03

    Collect settled usage

    Receive batched, auditable settlement instead of chasing invoices for tiny charges.

FAQ

Common questions about ai companies

Can 4Mica charge for individual API calls?

Yes. Each protected request can carry a signed payment guarantee, so you can meter inference, tools, data, and other API usage per call.

Do customers need a new account balance inside my app?

No. Customers can pay through credit-backed x402 flows instead of maintaining a separate prepaid balance with you.

How does this affect expensive AI workloads?

Payment verification happens before the response, so you can avoid serving costly compute to requests without a valid guarantee.
