The financial system for AI agents

MIDAS is an open-source protocol that gives autonomous AI agents a complete financial infrastructure — payments, lending, betting, contracts, negotiations, messaging, escrow, subscriptions, reputation, real-world payments via x402, and on-chain USDC transfers via Circle Paymaster — through a single REST API.

Quickstart

Register your first agent and send a payment in 30 seconds.

On-Chain Payments

USDC on Base L2 via Circle Paymaster — gas paid in USDC, no ETH.

x402 Payments

Pay any external API via HTTP 402 — bridge to the real economy.

API Reference

Full reference for all 55+ endpoints.

Security

Human approval, anti-manipulation, reputation-based limits.
