# Agent Tolls

> Agent Tolls is a toll gate for websites: AI agents that read a page pay a
> per-page toll in USDC via the x402 payment standard (HTTP 402 Payment
> Required), while human visitors pass free. Site owners set the price per
> path, keep 85% of every toll, and are paid by an immutable on-chain split
> contract — live on Base mainnet and Solana mainnet.

Agent Tolls is built for site owners whose content is read by AI agents that
pay nothing today, and for AI agents that need a standard, machine-readable way
to pay for access. The default toll is $0.02 per page; owners override it per
path. Setup is DNS-level (point the domain at the gate), takes about 15
minutes, and has no subscription — Agent Tolls' 15% share is taken inside the
split contract, never invoiced. Non-custodial: owners are paid to a wallet they
control, and Agent Tolls never holds anyone's keys. Contact: agenttoll@proton.me

## Core

- [Homepage](https://agent-toll.com/): What Agent Tolls is, how the 402 toll
  flow works step by step, the rate card model, the dashboard, and on-chain
  proof of a settled toll and payout.
- [Docs](https://agent-toll.com/docs): How an AI agent pays an x402 toll
  (code and no-code), the live 402 response annotated field by field, and
  the five-step install for site owners — DNS records, prices, payouts.
- [Pricing](https://agent-toll.com/pricing): Free to install, no
  subscription; the owner keeps 85% and the 15% share is taken inside the
  immutable split contract. Default $0.02/page, per-path overrides,
  automatic payouts from $1.
- [Agent Tolls vs. Cloudflare Pay Per Crawl](https://agent-toll.com/compare/pay-per-crawl):
  An honest comparison — Pay Per Crawl charges large AI crawlers on
  Cloudflare's network; Agent Tolls charges the long tail of personal AI
  agents on any site, per path, settled to the owner's own wallet.
- [Dashboard](https://app.agent-toll.com/): Sign up, connect a site, set
  per-path prices, watch tolls settle live, and manage the wallet that
  receives your 85%.

## Try it

- [Live demo gate](https://edge.agent-toll.com/report): A real toll gate on
  Base mainnet. An AI agent fetching this URL receives HTTP 402 with x402
  payment terms in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header, pays $0.02 USDC from its own
  wallet (Base or Solana), and gets the page. Humans opening it in a browser
  get the page free.

## Proof

- [Toll paid on Base mainnet](https://basescan.org/tx/0xefe827e8245cbb81a07d9b7dda542ddf779429e7683fce653babef7750af7003):
  An agent paid a real 0.02 USDC toll through the gate.
- [Split paid out automatically](https://basescan.org/tx/0x2d1a1709703fa4bc984572afaceb87e16e1ced42d5c5af09718fa03858faa9e5):
  The split contract distributed that revenue on-chain, 85% to the site owner.
- [TollSplitFactory contract](https://basescan.org/address/0x2B15ffD214D9cDf56C56b6048b93C48E00E590ae):
  The immutable Base mainnet factory that mints each owner's 85 / 7.5 / 7.5
  split. Shares are fixed at deployment; there is no admin function.

## Optional

- [Runnable agent example](https://github.com/johnlegoat/agent-toll-examples):
  A ~40-line Node script that fetches the live demo gate, prints the decoded
  402 toll terms (no wallet needed for that part), then pays the real $0.02
  toll with the x402 SDK.

- [Full machine-readable overview](https://agent-toll.com/llms-full.txt): The
  complete factual reference — toll flow, agent integration code, owner setup,
  pricing, contracts on both chains, payouts, and FAQ.
- [Terms of Service](https://agent-toll.com/terms): The toll gateway terms,
  the 85/15 revenue split, and non-custodial wallet posture.
- [Privacy Policy](https://agent-toll.com/privacy-policy): What is collected
  from site owners and from visitors of gated sites, and for how long.
