# Nevermined > Let your agents pay and get paid. Autonomously. Nevermined is a payments infrastructure provider for AI agents. It lets AI builders meter usage, delegate spending, and settle payments autonomously in fiat or crypto. Nevermined is a payments infrastructure company built for agentic commerce. It provides the rails that let AI agents pay and get paid without a human in the loop, addressing the gap left by traditional payment systems that assume a person authorizes every transaction. Builders use it to monetize APIs, agents, and digital content, while agents use it to spend against delegated budgets on real card rails or stablecoins. The platform gates access to an API or service at the request level, returning a payment prompt when a caller is not entitled and settling automatically when it is. Pricing can be fixed per call or dynamic, and usage can be sold as a prepaid plan or billed per request. Payments settle in fiat through card rails or in stablecoins on public blockchains, with usage metering and payout handling built into the same platform. It is designed to work across common agent frameworks rather than locking builders into a single stack. Its product line spans agent monetization tools for merchants, virtual card issuance for agent spending, and a payment facilitator built on the x402 protocol, along with embeddable payment widgets and an agent identity registry. Nevermined is used by API providers, AI crawler and content operators, and builder platforms that need agents to transact directly with one another or with human-run merchants. - Type: Company - Sector: Payments - Status: Active - Founded: 2020-11-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/nevermined ## Products - [Nevermined Pay](https://thegrid.id/profiles/nevermined): Nevermined Pay is a merchant payment gateway that lets AI agents transact autonomously using delegated virtual cards and usage-based billing. Users set spending mandates with amount caps, expiry, and transaction limits, after which agents authorize purchases through the x402 protocol without manual card entry. Enrolled cards are issued as virtual card credentials, including Visa-powered virtual cards, usable at any merchant accepting that card network rather than a single platform. The system meters usage in real time and settles payments across fiat and crypto rails, while also billing AI service providers for agent consumption on their APIs. (Merchant Payment Gateway, Live, Main Product) - [x402 Facilitator](https://thegrid.id/profiles/nevermined): The x402 Facilitator is a payments infrastructure and orchestration service that coordinates authorization, metering, and settlement for AI agent transactions across fiat, crypto, and credit rails. It exposes a dedicated API that verifies x402 payment tokens, enforces spending policy, and reconciles fiat and crypto activity through a unified ledger, enabling API providers and platforms to accept agent-initiated payments without building settlement logic themselves. Developers integrate it independently of the Nevermined Pay dashboard through its own endpoint and documentation.
