What This Skill Does
Lets AI agents accept and process Cardano blockchain payments through the Masumi decentralized protocol. Each agent runs its own self-hosted payment service node, controlling its own wallets and admin keys. Supports agent-to-agent (A2A) and human-to-agent (H2A) payment flows.
Unlike centralized payment processors, agents self-custody their wallets and run their own payment nodes, so no third party controls funds or can revoke access.
When to use it
- Charging users ADA or stablecoins for AI agent API calls
- Agent-to-agent micropayments in multi-agent pipelines
- Registering an AI service on the Cardano blockchain
- Accepting payments with automatic stablecoin-to-ADA conversion
- Running a self-hosted monetized agent node on Preprod or Mainnet
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: Set up my agent to accept Cardano payments
- 1Install masumi-payment-service locally using masumi_install_payment_service
- 2Start the payment service and verify it is running with masumi_start_payment_service
- 3Generate an admin API key using masumi_generate_api_key
- 4Register the agent on the blockchain and provision a wallet using masumi_enable
Agent is registered on the Masumi network with a self-custodied Cardano wallet and can create, check, and complete payment requests
Requirements
Accounts, API keys, or tools you or your AI assistant may need to set up while using this skill.
