x402 got agents paying.
HoodLayer keeps them subscribed.
x402 and MPP cover a single request, then stop. Renewals, billing cycles, and budgets are left up to you. HoodLayer picks up that part with on-chain subscriptions, allowances, and metered billing for AI agents, settled on Robinhood Chain in under a second for well under a cent.
Watch every charge as it happens. Renewals included, all of it on-chain.
Plans
Put your pricing on-chain where agents can find it and sign up by themselves. No accounts, no API keys.
- Fixed and metered pricing
- Frozen once published
- Lives in the on-chain registry

Robinhood Chain Settlement
Settlement lands in under a second and costs almost nothing. Anyone can verify any transaction on-chain.
0.4s
avg finality
<$0.001
per settlement
Subscriptions
A wallet, a plan, and an on-chain record tying them together. Billing runs itself while the agent works.
Renewals settle themselves, cycle after cycle
Allowances
Give an agent a budget. Services draw down funds up to the cap you set, and not a cent past it.
Hard cap enforced on-chain
Payment Sessions
Busy agents authenticate once and settle in batches, so each request adds next to no overhead.
x402 & MPP
Speaks the open standards agents already use to pay for services across the web, straight out of the box.

Facilitator Network
The HoodLayer facilitator verifies and settles every payment for you. You never touch blockchain code.
The request is the easy part. HoodLayer looks after everything that follows: subscriptions, renewals, budgets, and metered usage.
HoodLayer fits into whatever framework you already use
One dependency and one hook. Your agent picks a plan, subscribes, and stays under budget — the framework never touches a private key.
$ npm install @hoodlayerorg/sdk
import { hoodlayer } from "@hoodlayerorg/sdk"
agent.use(hoodlayer({ budget: "25 USDC / mo" }))
✓ subscribed to inference-pro · renews on-chain
USE CASES
The layer that was missing between agents and the services they rely on.
Inference APIs, data feeds, MCP servers, even other agents: most of what an agent depends on bills on a schedule. With HoodLayer an agent can subscribe, renew, and keep itself under budget with nobody in the loop, and every charge is recorded on-chain for anyone to check.
Inference APIs
Agents subscribe to model access and pay per call or per token, with no account and no API key to provision.
metered · per call
Data Marketplaces
Feeds and streams bill on a schedule. The agent keeps its own subscription alive and under budget.
fixed · monthly
Agent Frameworks
Drop recurring billing into LangChain, CrewAI, or ElizaOS with one hook. The framework never touches a key.
sdk · one hook
MCP Servers
Charge for tool calls with metered plans while the facilitator settles everything in the background.
metered · per tool call
On-chain Services
Contracts and keepers that charge other agents directly, wallet to wallet, with every payment verifiable.
wallet to wallet
Come build with us
A growing group of developers wiring recurring billing into agents and services, filling in the piece of the stack that x402 and MPP leave open.
Took me about an hour to wire HoodLayer into a LangChain project. My agents pick and pay for their own API subscriptions now, which still feels slightly unreal.
Sub-second finality and fees too small to think about. x402 plus HoodLayer on Robinhood Chain has quietly become a core piece of our stack.
We charge per call on our MCP servers. HoodLayer's facilitator does the settlement and we haven't written a single line of chain code.
It's basically Stripe ergonomics for agent billing. Solid SDK, docs that actually answer your questions, no surprises so far.
What sold us was the transparency. Every charge our agents make sits on-chain where we can audit it. No private ledger to take on faith.
Shipped our first on-chain plan over a weekend. Agents built on three different frameworks subscribed without us doing anything extra.
Everything happens in the open
There is no private HoodLayer ledger to take on faith. Plans, subscriptions, and payments are ordinary Robinhood Chain accounts that anyone can read. Want to check a settlement or audit an agent? Go look at the chain.
