The payment layer for AI agents

Let AI agents pay for things—safely.

Give agents real spending power with hard limits they can't override. Users set the rules. Agents execute. Merchants get paid. Max 3¢ per transaction.

For Buyers
Your agent orders dinner.

You set a $30 food budget. Your agent finds a restaurant, places the order, and pays — automatically. You stay in control. It can never spend more than you approved.

Set up your spending delegate →
For Merchants
Accept payments from any AI agent.

Add 5 lines of code. When an agent hits your API, Delegare handles authentication, spending validation, and settlement — via Stripe or USDC on Base. You get paid; they get access.

Watch: Delegare in 90 seconds
01
User sets the rules
Connect a card or crypto wallet. Set a monthly cap, per-transaction limit, and which merchants are allowed. Takes 60 seconds.
02
Agent gets a mandate
Your agent receives a signed spending mandate — a cryptographic credential that proves what it's allowed to spend, with whom, and how much.
03
Agent pays autonomously
When it's time to pay, the agent presents the mandate to Delegare. Limits are validated atomically. The payment executes on Stripe or Base.
04
Everyone gets a receipt
The merchant gets paid instantly. You get an immutable receipt. The mandate balance updates. Your card number is never exposed.

People are rightfully skeptical when money is involved. Delegare is built on strict boundaries and cryptographic guarantees so your agent can never go rogue.

🛡️
Hard Spend Limits

Atomic server-side counters enforce your budget to the cent. If your limit is $10, the agent cannot spend $10.01 — even under concurrent requests. Race conditions are mathematically impossible.

🔒
Zero Credential Exposure

Agents never see your card number, private keys, or seed phrase. They hold a signed spending mandate— a scoped, revocable credential that proves what they're allowed to spend. Nothing more.

Merchant Allowlists

Every mandate is locked to the merchants you explicitly approve. A mandate authorized for an API provider cannot be used at a pizza shop. The agent has no way to circumvent this.

Auto-Expiration & Revocation

Mandates have a strict time-to-live and expire automatically. You can also revoke any active mandate instantly from your dashboard — the agent's access is killed in under a second.

One integration, two settlement options. Delegare handles the authorization layer — you keep your existing payment stack.

3¢
per successful transaction — or 3% under $1. Minimum 0.5¢ includes gas on Base.

Delegare is not a payment processor — it's the authorization layer that makes your existing payments agent-ready. Think of it as the identity and permissions middleware between your agent and your money.

Your Stripe or USDC setup stays exactly as it is. Delegare sits in front of it, handling agent identity, spending limits, and autonomous payment negotiation.

Under $1, the fee drops to 3% — making API micropayments and agent-to-agent transactions commercially viable for everyone.

For reference: Stripe's base fee on a $25 transaction is ~$1.03. Delegare's authorization layer costs $0.03. These are different things. Both exist on every transaction.

No volume pricing
100 or 10 million transactions — the price never changes. No tiers, no thresholds, no upgrade conversations.

Free for buyers
Connecting a wallet, setting spending limits, revoking mandates — always free. Only merchants pay the fee.
µ
Micropayment-ready
Under $1, the fee is 3% with a 0.5¢ minimum — a 50¢ API call costs 1.5¢. Above $1, it’s a flat 3¢. The minimum covers gas on Base so neither party pays separately.
