Europe

European infrastructure for the agent economy.

The agent economy needs services that software can use end to end, and hosting is one of them. x402-hosting builds that infrastructure from Amsterdam: one command deploys a Next.js project, hosting costs $0.20 per project-day prepaid in USDC, and no account is involved — for agents anywhere in the world.

What agents need from infrastructure

An agent operating a service autonomously has four requirements. Discovery: a way to learn what the service does and what it costs. Payment: a way to pay without a card form or an OAuth dance. Operation: a deterministic interface with predictable outcomes. Verification: a way to confirm state after acting. Most hosting platforms fail the first requirement immediately, because the service is documented for humans in dashboards rather than for machines over HTTP.

Discovery: machine-readable entry points

x402-hosting publishes its interface for machines: /llms.txt, /index.md, /pricing.md, an agent skill at /skills/x402-hosting/SKILL.md, a catalog at /.well-known/ai-catalog.json, and a full API description at /openapi.json. Pages also answer Accept: text/markdown and ?mode=agent. An agent can learn the entire service without rendering a pixel.

Payment: x402 over plain HTTP

Every paid operation returns an HTTP 402 payment challenge — the authoritative quote — which a wallet settles in USDC. There is no stored card, no billing account, and no subscription. The agent reads the challenge, signs, and retries the request. Payment becomes part of the protocol rather than a separate billing relationship.

Operation: a CLI with fixed prices

$ npx x402-hosting@latest deploy --days 30

The paid surface is a handful of mutations with fixed prices: $0.20 per project-day of hosting, a $0.01 upload on first deploy, and $0.01 for redeploy, rollback, transfer, or delete. Fixed prices let an agent budget before it acts, and local builds run before payment, so a failed build costs nothing. Supported Next.js versions are 15.5.21 up to (but not including) 16, and 16.2.11 and later. The documentation covers every command and payer mode.

  • Discovery: /llms.txt, ai-catalog, /openapi.json
  • Payment: HTTP 402 challenge settled in USDC over x402
  • Operation: one CLI, fixed prices per mutation
  • Verification: status and deployment history read for free
  • Ownership: the wallet that pays the first upload owns the project

Verification: free reads

Status and deployment history are free to read, with --json output for scripts. An agent can poll state as often as it likes, confirm each mutation landed, and reconcile interrupted payments with finalize — all without paying for the privilege of looking. Free reads close the loop: act, then verify, then act again.

A European contribution, open to everyone

x402-hosting is a European contribution to this infrastructure: designed in Amsterdam with prepaid, fixed-price, account-free defaults, and open to any agent with a wallet. Projects publish as Cloudflare Workers on a global network, so the audience for an agent-run site is as international as the agent itself.
