Skyfire
Your AI agents need to pay for services, verify identities, and manage transactions autonomously. Skyfire provides the payment infrastructure. Your Tars agent creates pay tokens, checks wallet balances, browses service directories, and audits charges, all without human intervention.




From micropayments to identity verification, your AI agent handles the entire transaction lifecycle through Skyfire's agentic payment network.

See how businesses deploy AI agents that autonomously purchase services, verify identities, and manage micropayments through Skyfire.
Your AI Agent needs web scraping data to answer a customer question. It checks the Skyfire wallet balance, browses the service directory for a scraping provider, creates a PAY token with a $0.01 limit, and calls the seller's API. The data arrives, the payment processes, and the customer gets their answer. No human approved the $0.01 transaction because none needed to.
Your platform uses multiple paid APIs for data enrichment. Your AI Agent creates Skyfire tokens with precise maximum amounts for each service call, checks balances proactively, and only proceeds when funds are sufficient. At month end, the agent audits all token charges for reconciliation. Your finance team gets a clean transaction log without manual tracking.
A seller requires Know Your Agent verification before accepting payment. Your AI Agent creates a KYA+PAY token that includes identity permissions alongside the payment authorization. The seller verifies the agent's identity through Skyfire's KYAPay protocol before processing the transaction. Trust is established programmatically between machines.

FAQs
The agent calls Skyfire's Create PAY Token endpoint with the seller service ID, maximum charge amount as a decimal string, and expiration timestamp. Skyfire returns a JWT token the agent passes to the seller when calling their API. The seller charges up to the authorized amount.
PAY tokens authorize payment only. KYA (Know Your Agent) tokens verify the agent's identity without payment. KYA+PAY tokens combine both, allowing sellers to verify the agent's identity and charge for the service in a single flow. Your agent selects the appropriate type based on seller requirements.
Yes. Each payment token includes a maximum charge amount set by the agent. You control this through your agent's training and policy configuration. Additionally, the agent checks wallet balance before creating tokens, and you control how much funds are in the Skyfire wallet.
Tars creates tokens on your behalf using the Skyfire API, but each token has an explicit maximum amount you control. The agent cannot withdraw funds directly. It creates authorization tokens that sellers charge against, always within the limits you set.
Skyfire maintains a marketplace of services that accept agentic payments. Your agent browses this directory by searching with keywords, filtering by category or tags like 'ai' or 'data', and comparing prices. Once it finds the right service, it obtains the seller service ID needed to create a payment token.
Yes. The agent can list all buyer tokens with optional date and status filters, then retrieve charge details for any specific token. This shows exactly what was authorized versus what was actually charged, enabling automated reconciliation at any scale.
Expired tokens cannot be charged. The agent can introspect tokens to check their validity before use. If a token has expired, the agent creates a new one. No funds are deducted for expired, uncharged tokens. Setting appropriate expiration windows (5-10 minutes for one-time use) minimizes waste.
Skyfire recently demonstrated integration with Visa's Intelligent Commerce suite through its KYAPay protocol. The platform bridges AI-native payments with traditional financial infrastructure, supporting both micropayments between agents and consumer purchases through established card networks.
