AsterPay – EUR Settlement for AI Agent Payments (USDC → EUR via SEPA Instant)
2•asterpay•2h ago
We built AsterPay because AI agents can earn stablecoins but can't easily convert them to real-world currencies. Our API converts USDC/EURC to EUR via SEPA Instant in under 5 seconds.
What makes it different:
- Agent-native: x402 protocol (HTTP 402 pay-per-call), MCP server with 16 tools
- KYA (Know Your Agent): 5-layer trust scoring (0-100) for AI agent wallets
- Referenced in Google's A2A spec proposal for trust.signals[]
- Free tier: trust scores, settlement estimates, identity verification
Stack: Fastify, Base (L2), USDC, Bridge/Stripe for banking rails, Chainalysis for sanctions.

Hi HN, I built AsterPay because AI agents can earn stablecoins but can't easily convert them to real-world currencies.
The problem: An AI agent completes a task, gets paid 50 USDC on Base. The service provider needs EUR in their bank account. Current off-ramps aren't built for autonomous agents.
AsterPay solves this with:
- x402 protocol (HTTP 402 pay-per-call) — agents pay per API request with USDC
- KYA (Know Your Agent) — 5-layer trust scoring (0-100) for agent wallets: identity, sanctions, on-chain behavior
- SEPA Instant settlement — USDC/EURC → EUR in under 5 seconds
- MCP server with 16 tools — works in Claude, Cursor, any MCP client

Happy to answer any questions about the agent payments space or x402 protocol.
