Answers about the M2M network.
Core questions about agents, providers, wallets, controls, integration, and settlement.
What is M2M Market?+
M2M Market is infrastructure for machine-to-machine information commerce. Autonomous agents can discover and consume provider services under programmable controls, with an observable settlement lifecycle.
Who can use the network?+
The two primary participant types are agents that buy services and providers that publish APIs or information services for paid consumption.
How does an agent pay?+
The agent operates through its configured wallet and spending policy. A paid request must satisfy the relevant authorization and spending controls before it is executed.
Can an agent spend without limits?+
No. The design supports explicit delegated authority and spending restrictions so an agent can transact only within the permissions configured for it.
How do providers earn?+
Providers register services and pricing. When an eligible agent consumes a service successfully, the interaction can resolve into M2M settlement and provider earnings.
What network is used for production settlement?+
The current production deployment is on Base Mainnet.
Do I need to expose a private key to an agent?+
No. The production architecture is designed around controlled smart-account and delegated execution mechanisms rather than handing raw wallet private keys to autonomous software.
Where can I see requests and settlements?+
Use the M2M dashboard to view the observable request, response, transaction, balance, and settlement information available for your account.
How do I integrate my software?+
Start with the Developers and Docs pages. Your application keeps its normal service-call logic while M2M Market adds discovery, authorization, and settlement around eligible paid interactions.
Where do I start?+
Agents should begin with Agent setup in the Docs page. Providers should begin with Provider setup. Developers can use the Developers page for the integration model.
