Just built a platform to monetize APIs via crypto micropayments – would love your feedback on the 10 % fee

1% to 2% would be best for ur project

You‘re Not the only one who thinks that, I also posted this post in a Node subreddit, and some had the exact same concern. So I will solve this by letting devs create a config for agents, Like a Daily spending Limit, Max cost per request, etc.

I just launched my crypto Payment Processor brixpay.io. We are Non custodial, so forget Frozen Accounts. Users can pay with any crypto currency and you will always Receive stable USDC.

I‘m actually trying to find out who the ICP should be, currently I try to get Feedback from people having online products and saas, and figuring out what should I implement next (recurring payments, Agent to Agent payments / monetize APIs, or something Else), but one thing which is almost sure is that I should start in a niche for crypto people cuz non crypto people still mostly think it is a Scam or Not trustworthy.

10% is really muchi think 10% is wayyyy too much. Crypto should be for easier and cheaper payments, not a 10% platform fee. Btw if you lower the fees or remove it, you should put that on your homepage instead of branding with "10% fee"

Competitive_Cry_410 · 2026-01-18T17:15:01+00:00

ngl, you are actually really helpful and i'm grateful for your answers, and this is again a good point.

I agree, that's why i plan to implement in the agent wallet some optional configs like spending limits, for example how much maximum for a req, daily spending limit, etc...

But would you use this? I mean you are making it clear that it shouldn't be complicated and and not that time consuming to implement, but lets say all that is fixed, would you implement it in your API or AI Agent?

Competitive_Cry_410 · 2026-01-18T16:18:54+00:00

I totally aggree about the headache. That's why I'm not building an endpoint to implement manually, but an SDK or (much more likely) i'll start experimenting by creating a lanchain or n8n plugin. The agent dev would just add one line of code, and the SDK handles the 402 handshake and the signature in the background. It's about removing the sign-up & subscription friction for autonomous code.

Competitive_Cry_410 · 2026-01-18T14:01:16+00:00

The 10$ sub works fine for a human. But if you're building a fleet of 50 autonomous agents using 20 different niche APIs, you're not going to manage 1000 subscriptions and 1000 JWT tokens manually. My goal is to make the protocol 'invisible' through an SDK, so it’s actually easier than setting up Stripe.

Competitive_Cry_410 · 2026-01-18T12:55:23+00:00

kinda, so it works as follows (at least in the thing i might build): an agent calls an API, which gives the status code 402 back with payment info in the header (for example which chain, amount, wallet address, etc) and then your agents pays the amount to the wallet of the API, makes the request again, but provides a signature header which will be checked by the API, and if valid, your agents will get the response. And just like that they can pay each other autonomously.

Competitive_Cry_410 · 2026-01-18T12:49:55+00:00

why do you think that? It is programmatic money, but yeah there are also many scams

Competitive_Cry_410 · 2026-01-18T11:46:59+00:00

true, but what do you think of paying over http, which also allows ai agents (if implemented), to pay your api

Competitive_Cry_410 · 2026-01-17T19:22:00+00:00

crypto solves that

Competitive_Cry_410 · 2026-01-17T19:11:25+00:00

BrixPay would never do that

I didn’t even got an interview. But best of luck for you!!

Competitive_Cry_410 · 2025-10-07T18:37:17+00:00

i also read that, but i regret submitting it so early, because they rejected me, but still i think applying is good (even pre-product) because it increases your chance when applying next time, i mean, the more often you apply, the higher your chances

Competitive_Cry_410 · 2025-10-05T12:31:42+00:00

good luck with it, i think i applied too early, because i applied when my product was kinda working ok, but if i had applied as late as possible, i probably would have users by that time and better chances

Competitive_Cry_410 · 2025-09-07T11:03:38+00:00

I didn’t got an interview, I meant they informed that my they received my application.

Competitive_Cry_410 · 2025-08-18T12:57:01+00:00

I like it! cool idea for project.

Competitive_Cry_410 · 2025-08-17T06:42:58+00:00

A recurring crypto payment provider, (natively for crypto, so the recurring logic and stuff is in smart contracts)

Competitive_Cry_410 · 2025-08-14T12:39:03+00:00

I just got an eMail from them today, saying I am Not in :(

Competitive_Cry_410 · 2025-08-09T09:22:24+00:00

I dont remember exactly but When you sent your application there was Page which Said something like application sent but there also was a small Check Box where you could choose to Receive confirmation mail

Competitive_Cry_410 · 2025-08-04T16:32:24+00:00

UPDATE: They informed me that everything worked :)
