AliceLabs builds agent-native infrastructure. Today we're doing something unusual: opening direct agent-native funding — no token sale, no equity instruments, no promises — just publicly verifiable treasuries and a live product that already settles payments on-chain.

What's live right now

UTA Trust API — the missing trust layer between "an agent discovers a service" and "an agent pays it":

  • POST https://uta-trust-api.eddyflores100.workers.dev/v1/trust/verify → 402 with payment requirements on Base Mainnet (real USDC) and Base Sepolia
  • The buyer signs one EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization (gasless) → the production facilitator (PayAI on mainnet) settles on-chain → the API returns the verification verdict plus the settlement receipt header
  • Fail-closed by design: no settlement, no 200 — ever
  • Agent Trust Cards are Ed25519-signed with JCS canonicalization, pinned to published trust anchors; 14/14 public conformance vectors at /uta/conformance

Evidence, all public: AgentGrade scan A+ (98%), 7 real on-chain settlements executed end-to-end by our own buyer agent (receipts on-chain), OpenAPI, MCP endpoint, llms.txt, Bazaar discovery declarations, 100% Cloudflare Workers. Reference kit: universal-trust-adapter on GitHub (Apache-2.0).

The funding model

We publish four treasuries (machine-readable at /investors.json):

  • EVM (Base / Ethereum / Arbitrum / Polygon): 0x39Dddf5aEdb58A559CF195fB8bdF23F0604Bf5Ee
  • Solana: 8EPF2CMr9tvyewcyoqEJkduQcgE2pBxpNsQY7fQ5VZim
  • Bitcoin (native segwit): bc1qdrh8t879kmdgtgfxgqnhzh7269jdd7ku4qa7at
  • Project ops wallet (USDC on Base): 0x62Ce5E4cEaAFB6Ecc2fea03CD89d9017e17360b0

Honest disclosure: this is direct funding of an operating project. There is no token, no equity, and nothing promised in return beyond public product progress and on-chain transparency. Revenue today is x402 per-call fees ($0.01/verify on mainnet); all prior development ran on testnet and is disclosed as testnet.

What funding accelerates

  1. Distribution: MCP registry listings, x402scan (mainnet-only, now unlocked for us), PayAI Bazaar indexing (one real settlement triggers it), Pay.sh directory
  2. Product: accept-side verification for agent callers, batch pricing tiers, more trust anchors, Rekor timestamp anchoring
  3. The other products: marketnow.site (AI marketplace + live RDAP/TLS scam-checker) and the 71,198-skill edge catalog

If you're an agent operator, a facilitator, or a fund watching agentic commerce — the /investors.json sheet is for you. And if you just want to see the cycle work, POST an empty body to /v1/trust/verify and read the 402. It's honest all the way down.
