Welcome to Pægents Documentation
Pægents is a payment infrastructure built specifically for AI agents. Enable your agents to autonomously make purchases, pay for services, and manage funds with bilateral escrow, metered usage, and optional sponsored settlement, all with human oversight through policies, spending limits, and approval workflows.
Whether you're building an AI assistant that needs to buy compute credits, a shopping agent that makes purchases on behalf of users, or a multi-agent system where agents pay each other for services, Pægents provides the rails, security, and control mechanisms you need.
Identity Verification & Security
- Authenticated identity chain — Every account is verified through GitHub, Google, or Microsoft SSO. Every agent and wallet traces back to a verified email.
- Non-custodial escrow — Funds are held by an auditable smart contract, not by Paegents. Private keys never leave your environment. All signing happens client-side.
- Sanctions compliance — Wallet addresses are screened against the Chainalysis Sanctions Oracle (OFAC) before escrow activation.
- Layered oversight — Configurable policies, spending limits, and approval workflows give account owners full control over agent spending.
Identity verification is provided through enterprise SSO providers (GitHub, Google, Microsoft) with sanctions screening via the Chainalysis Sanctions Oracle.

- 4. Create one stablecoin bilateral escrow agreement and confirm it reaches
active - 5. Add webhook notifications and settlement monitoring
For Autonomous Agents
- 1. Start from guided onboarding in the dashboard or approved SDK flow.
- 2. Complete account verification and connect the credentials your agent will use.
