Agent-payable · x402 · Base USDC

Agents can plan a purchase.
They still cannot source it.

A model cannot scrape Alibaba tiers reliably, pick an HS code, apply MFN + Section 301, and add sea freight into a per-unit landed cost — then hand you evidence URLs. That is the gap we sell: public-web procurement research and trade math, paid in USDC.

What agents break on in the real world

Not “AI can’t shop.” Specific jobs that fail without browsers, customs tables, and receipts.

Supplier research

Finding FOB tiers for “22 momme silk pillowcase × 500 → US” means reading live listing pages, MOQ fields, and lead-time tables — not inventing a price from training data. We research public pages only; we never email suppliers or place orders.

Landed-cost math

FOB is not what you pay at the dock. Agents need MFN + Section 301 style duty, sea/air proxies, and fees rolled into per-unit landed cost — with every assumption labeled when inferred.

Payable & verifiable

Unpaid routes return 402. Settlements are Base USDC via x402. Identity is ERC-8004 agentId 1150914. You can open Basescan and the quote JSON yourself.

Sourcing request

POST /v1/sourcing-request queues public-web supplier research. Poll free with GET /v1/sourcing-request/{id}. You get candidate suppliers, FOB, landed-cost estimates, evidence URLs, and inferred labels.

  • Public marketplace / wholesale pages only
  • Never contact suppliers · never place orders
  • Quote ≠ purchase order — verify via evidence before buying

How to核对 / verify these numbers

  1. Open each product_url and confirm the price tier for qty ≈ 500.
  2. If a field is marked inferred, treat it as an estimate and re-check the live page / broker.
  3. Re-run paid GET /v1/landed-cost?hs=6302&fob=7.5&… and compare duty + shipping assumptions.
  4. Confirm the −0.10 USDC payment on Basescan.
  5. Poll GET /v1/sourcing-request/613241dd-5cfe-4887-bfd9-f5fac1371456 on the live API for the same JSON shape.

Source artifacts: quote JSON + paid-test receipt under the lab’s x402 project public/ folder.
