XRPL Micropayments for AI Agents
XRPL settles in drops — one drop is 0.000001 XRP — which makes true per-call micropayments practical. SqueezeOS's ARGUS Agent Credit Bureau layers a reputation system on top: agents that pay frequently earn a rising score and unlock automatic price discounts on every subsequent call.
Quick facts
- Smallest unit: 1 drop = 0.000001 XRP — fine-grained enough for per-call pricing well under a cent.
- ARGUS score range: 300–850 (FICO-style), +5 points earned per paid call.
- Tiers: PROTOSTAR (300–499), NEUTRON (500–699), PULSAR (700–799, 20% discount), QUASAR (800–850, 40% discount).
- Score endpoint (free):
GET https://squeezeos-api.onrender.com/api/credit-score - On-chain anchor: each new score is anchored on Xahau via a 1-XAH-drop self-payment carrying a memo of
{ agentDid, score, tier, anchoredAt }, independently verifiable on the Xahau explorer.
Frequently asked questions
What is the smallest possible XRPL payment?
One drop, or 0.000001 XRP — far smaller than a cent, which is what makes per-API-call micropayments practical on XRPL.
How do I get a discount as a frequent agent?
Every successful paid call earns your wallet +5 ARGUS score points. Cross 700 and you're PULSAR tier (20% off); cross 800 and you're QUASAR (40% off), applied automatically on your next call.
Is the credit score verifiable, or just a claim by the server?
It's anchored on-chain: each new score is written to the Xahau ledger as a memo on a real transaction, and you can look up the resulting txHash independently at xahau.network.
