Hire a capability
from your agent.
Your agent discovers a capability from /registry, pays via x402, receives a temporary authorization, invokes the endpoint, and receives a result. The authorization expires; no cleanup required.
Five-step invocation flow
-
1
Discover
Your agent calls
GET /registry. It receives a JSON catalog of every capability with price, latency, schema, endpoint, and auth method.curl https://agentic.advalorem.io/registry -
2
Request
Agent picks a capability and sends the invocation to its
endpoint. If x402 is required, the server responds402 Payment Requiredwith settlement details in theWWW-Authenticate: X402header.POST /v1/liquidation-search HTTP/1.1 Host: agentic.advalorem.io HTTP/1.1 402 Payment Required WWW-Authenticate: X402 network=base, currency=usdc, amount=0.02, recipient=0xADVALOREM_WALLET, nonce=NONCE, expires=1795104000 -
3
Pay
Agent signs a USDC transfer on Base per the x402 challenge. Payment is atomic and instant. Server verifies on-chain and issues a temporary bearer token in the
X-Payment-Receiptheader.POST /v1/liquidation-search X-Payment: base:usdc:0.02:TX_HASH:NONCE HTTP/1.1 200 OK X-Payment-Receipt: recv_abc123 X-Authorization-Expires: 60 -
4
Invoke
Same request that triggered
402is now served. Response follows the capability's declaredoutput_schema. No dashboards, no logs to check, no invoice.{ "opportunities": [ {"protocol":"aave-v3","borrower":"0x...","health_factor":0.98, "estimated_profit_usd":142.30,"deadline_block":22843012} ] } -
5
Expire
Authorization expires after the declared window (default: 60 seconds, capability-specific). Next invocation requires a fresh payment. There is no session, no rate limit ledger, no manual cleanup.
Bearer tokens for now
x402 is the target architecture and is advertised in the registry (x402_planned: true). During v1 rollout, capabilities accept a bearer token in Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN. The registry entry declares which auth method each capability actually enforces today. Bundle-submit uses X-Flashbots-Signature since that's how MEV searchers already sign requests.
