Build Agentic & Paywalled Apps with Pinata + x402

Pinata turns files, APIs, and AI workflows into economic actors. Using x402, your apps and agents can:

• 💸 Charge for access to files (datasets, media, models, prompts)
• 🤖 Let AI agents autonomously pay to fetch data or content
• 🔐 Gate premium APIs and downloads behind HTTP-native payments
• 🌍 Monetize IPFS-hosted content without Web2 paywalls

x402 works at the protocol level — no wallets to manage, no SDK lock-in, just standard HTTP requests with payment baked in.
