A token funds or represents an agent. Look for a customer, a paid task and a useful result.
How crypto AI agents work
An AI agent is a program that uses a model to choose and call tools to complete a task. The crypto AI agents meta includes products that connect this workflow to wallets, trading and paid services. Bankr provides a concrete example: an agent can use wallet tools and call APIs that charge per request.
Agent tools
Bankr connects a model to a wallet, files, memory and scheduled tasks.
Paid API call
Bankr x402 Cloud accepts USDC on Base by default; a service can select another ERC-20 token on Base.
Model costs
Bankr LLM Gateway deducts usage from a separate prepaid credit balance.
Token buyers and people supplying trading liquidity; customer payments are a separate source

Who gets paid
The token buyer, product customer and fee recipient may be different people. The diagram shows what each pays for and receives under the project’s rules.

Money in the market
Token buyers and trading liquidity providers.
Money from use
Customer budgets for completed tasks net of direct execution costs.
Who can earn while the token falls
Services and compute providers can get paid without token appreciation.
What if the buyer is an AI agent?
Data request → service asks for payment → agent checks its limit → USDC payment on Base → service response. This is an x402 flow; the protocol also works on other networks.
Where does the human stay in control? +
Before signing, the client checks the network, asset, recipient and spending limit. A request over budget should not be paid.
An AI KOL is a media character with an audience. In crypto, a token is added, sometimes alongside an agent with a treasury. These three parts can have different operators.
Character and agent
A virtual influencer has an identity, a story and an audience. People write stories and release videos; an agent gets tools and a budget, then chooses its actions. Alongside the videos, you can follow what it researches, buys and publishes.
Trading pays for content
At AgencyPad and Higgspad, AI operation is funded by part of the creator fees earned when a token is traded. This money replenishes the agent’s budget and video generation credits.
How the coin fits the project
A character can have a community coin, an agent its own token and treasury, and a launch platform a token for the infrastructure. AgencyPad and Higgspad connect their platform tokens to trading fees through buybacks and burns.
Characters and community coins
The character’s popularity is linked to a tradable token.

What happens between an instruction and the agent's result?
Bankr's Agent API first acknowledges an instruction and assigns a job identifier. The program then follows that job's status. A completed job returns the agent's answer and, when available, additional structured results; a failed or cancelled job has its own status.
The task determines what the agent does. It can retrieve a price, work with files or use wallet tools to swap or transfer tokens. The job response describes the result of that instruction.
Which asset pays for a request, and who receives it?
Bankr x402 Cloud accepts USDC on Base by default. A service can price its calls in another ERC-20 token on Base, with the price expressed in units of that selected token. The client pays for that service's API response.
The service's share goes to its operator's configured wallet; Bankr's platform fee depends on the plan. Payment settles onchain after the service returns successfully, so a failed service response does not collect a payment.
Bankr LLM Gateway uses a prepaid credit balance separate from the trading wallet. The operator tops it up from wallet funds, and model requests consume those credits. Creator fees earned by a token launch can also fund a top-up once they have been claimed into the wallet.
