## What We Are

AgentaOS is built by Agenta (Aristokrates OU), registered in Estonia. We build open-source infrastructure for programmable accounts. The account uses 2-of-3 threshold signing so the full private key is never constructed. We do not provide custody, exchange, or financial transfer services. All accounts are non-custodial. We never touch, hold, or control user funds. EU-MiCA compliant.

## What We Build

AgentaOS is Agent Banking for the AI-ready economy, with five pillars:

1. **One EUR/USD account replaces 4 tools** - Payments, invoicing, accounting, and treasury in one place. No more juggling Stripe + Wise + Xero.

2. **Up to 5x cheaper** - 1.00-1.75% with no per-transaction fee. Stripe charges 3.5-5.6% on small tickets (the fixed fee alone is 3.13% on an 8 EUR subscription).

3. **Human and machine payments** - Same checkout accepts both. AI agents pay invoices, complete purchases, and trigger payments via API. Up to 15% new revenue.

4. **Treasury rules and yield** - Set rules once: auto-yield on idle funds (3-5% APY), auto-forward, auto-export to your accountant. Non-custodial, your keys, your funds.

5. **Built-in accounting** - Auto-generated invoices, WAC cost basis tracking, tax-ready export (CSV, DATEV, SAF-T). No separate crypto accounting tool needed.

Additional capabilities:

- **Payment SDK** - `npm install @agentaos/pay`. Create checkouts, verify payments, handle webhooks.
- **Agent sub-accounts** - Create sub-accounts for AI agents with spending limits, approved vendors, rate limits, and time windows.
- **MCP-native** - 14+ tools in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, n8n, Make. Operate payments from inside AI assistants.

## MCP Server

AgentaOS provides an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI agents interact with accounts directly. 18 tools available:

**Discovery:** `agenta_wallet_overview`, `agenta_list_networks`, `agenta_list_signers`, `agenta_resolve_address`
**Payments:** `agenta_send_eth`, `agenta_send_token`, `agenta_get_balances`
**Contracts:** `agenta_call_contract`, `agenta_read_contract`, `agenta_execute`, `agenta_simulate`
**Signing:** `agenta_sign_message`, `agenta_sign_typed_data`
**Management:** `agenta_get_status`, `agenta_get_audit_log`
**x402 Protocol:** `agenta_x402_check`, `agenta_x402_discover`, `agenta_x402_fetch`

## Use Cases

4. **Marketplaces & Agencies** — Accept payments, auto-split to vendors or contractors, settle instantly.

## Comparison

### AgentaOS vs Traditional Banks
Traditional banks take weeks to open an account, have no API, and can't work with AI agents. AgentaOS opens accounts in minutes, works from anywhere, has full API access, and lets AI agents operate under guardrails.

### AgentaOS vs Stripe
Stripe charges 3.5-5.6% on small tickets (fixed fee + percentage). AgentaOS charges 1.00-1.75% with no per-transaction fee. Up to 5x cheaper. Stripe stablecoin acceptance is US-only. Stripe MPP (machine payments) requires manual approval. AgentaOS: machine payments on day one, any country. Plus built-in invoicing, treasury rules, and accounting that Stripe doesn't offer.

### AgentaOS vs Fireblocks
Fireblocks costs $50k-$500k/yr, is proprietary, and was built for enterprises. AgentaOS is free to start, open source, and built for founders and developers.
