The Nevermined Payment Libraries provide a comprehensive set of tools for monetizing AI services and enabling seamless payment flows between humans and AI agents, as well as between AI agents themselves.

Core Capabilities

​
For AI Builders

Register your AI agents with metadata, API endpoints, and access control policies. Define which endpoints require payment and which are open.
Create various types of payment plans:
  • Credits-Based Plans: Pay per request or API call
  • Time-Based Plans: Subscription access for specific durations
  • Trial Plans: Free limited access for new users
  • Hybrid Plans: Combine time and usage limits
Automatically validate requests and control access to your AI services based on payment status and remaining credits.
Track usage, manage subscriptions, and receive instant payments in both cryptocurrency and fiat currencies.
