DYNAMO PROTOCOL

The Interplanetary
AI Economic
and Financial Layer

One budget. Many agents.
Payment streamed by the second.
Across the universe.

Build AI services with programmable payments designed for faster settlement, efficient transactions, and commerce across borders. From inference and data to agents that work with other agents.

Start in Control Mode with no money moving. Escrow is on Base Sepolia testnet; production payment rails require per-instance review. Explore availability →

01 · AI DEVELOPERS

Get paid faster. Pay lower fees.
Keep more of what you earn.

Sell inference, tools, APIs, compute, and data to an economy of human and autonomous customers.

FASTER PAYMENTS

Connect revenue to delivered work

Settle metered work as it runs. When funds arrive depends on the payment rail.

BETTER PAYMENT ECONOMICS

Keep more from useful work

A 1% default token-rail fee can lower costs for small payments. Network costs are additional.

CROSS-BORDER COMMERCE

Reach customers in more markets

Accept supported tokens across borders, where your deployment and local requirements allow.

PAYMENTS IN YOUR LOGIC

Make value exchange part of the service

Put access, metering, and token payments inside your app’s logic, with capped agent allowances.

SMALL UNITS, NEW PRODUCTS

Price the work your customer needs

Price by call, second, or sub-cent unit. Choose settlement intervals that fit your costs.

CONNECTED AI BUSINESSES

Buy inputs. Deliver an output.

Connect agents, models, and data providers. Track their work and payments under one budget.

Fee terms are deployment-specific. The published escrow contract permits fee changes within a 10% ceiling; the rate at settlement applies. A protocol fee does not include every service provided by a card processor or marketplace. Inspect the contract source →

SHOWCASE · INTEGRATE WITH DYNAMO

Add Dynamo. Stream payments. Keep more.

10 lines to your first metered, paid call. DreamCade and DreamReel show the integration pattern: connect your app, meter delivery, and settle as work runs.

DreamCade
Keywords → a playable browser game

An AI pipeline designs, builds, and tests the game. Dynamo connects that work to metering and payment.

A small integration. Payments built in.

  • Connect generation and repair stages to capped streams.
  • Settle eligible work during the job.
  • Keep more with the 1% default token-rail fee, before network costs.
Base Sepolia testnetMeter → settle
DreamReel
Keywords → a numbered video series

An AI pipeline creates short episodes. Dynamo connects shot delivery to metering and payment.

A small integration. Payments built in.

  • Connect each episode to a metered stream.
  • Set billable delivery rules and settle as the job runs.
  • Keep more with the 1% default token-rail fee, before network costs.
Base Sepolia testnetMeter → settle

Both apps use Base Sepolia testnet assets today. Production activation requires review; payout timing follows the rail. Refunds, retries, and provider charges need app-specific handling.

FUNDING MODES & AVAILABILITY

Try it first. No real funds at stake.

Build in Control Mode, simulate payments on testnet, then enable production payments after review. Your own compute and service costs still apply.

CONTROL · AVAILABLE TODAY

Build without moving money

Connect your app and test usage metering and budget limits for free. No funds move.

ESCROW · BASE SEPOLIA TESTNET

Simulate real transactions

Run escrow transactions on Base Sepolia with testnet tokens. Test the payment flow without risking real funds.

CARD · SUBJECT TO REVIEW

Accept cards. Reach more users.

Let customers pay by card without a wallet or blockchain onboarding. Availability and payout terms require processor approval.

Review the key and custody model for your deployment. A hosted operator may control the budget-owner key. Contract restrictions do not establish self-custody for every user, and public source code is not an independent security audit.

START BUILDING

Bring your service into the AI economy.

Start with a dedicated instance and a small, measurable workflow. Validate control behavior before adding real funds.

01

Request your instance

Tell us what you’re building. The team provisions your instance and confirms access.

02

Connect and meter your service

Use the SDK or MCP, LiteLLM, Kong, and APISIX integrations. Set units, prices, and limits in Control Mode.

03

Validate your payment workflow

Test escrow on Base Sepolia. Enable production payments after security and payment-provider reviews.

02 · AI USERS

Run agents. Control your spend.

FOR AI SERVICE USERS & AGENT OPERATORS

Use AI services with confidence.

Give agents room to work, with explicit authority, clear limits, and records you can inspect.

BOUNDED AUTHORITY

Set a budget for the outcome

Share one budget across agents and providers. Caps cover routed work; external charges and network costs are separate.

DELEGATION

Give each agent its own allowance

Issue scoped, capped credentials. Revoke access under your deployment’s enforcement rules.

USAGE VISIBILITY

Understand where resources went

See usage and signed claims by service. Match them to settlement and agreed terms.

START WITHOUT FUNDS

Test the controls first

Test caps, concurrent requests, revocation, and recovery in Control Mode. No money moves.

Dynamo Guard connects supported service requests to the enforcement core. Correct routing, shared-state coordination, and key handling are essential to the spending boundary. Explore Guard →

MULTIPARTY ORCHESTRATED PAYMENTS

One payment. A network of AI services.

A single outcome can depend on several providers. Dynamo brings delegated budgets, metering, and settlement claims into one workflow.

ILLUSTRATIVE RESEARCH WORKFLOW

Parent budget: $50

One research task. Separate allowances for inference, data, and a specialist agent.

INFERENCE PROVIDER

Allowance: $20

Meter model usage and record claims for eligible work.

DATA PROVIDER

Allowance: $15

Account for access to the data needed for the task.

SPECIALIST AGENT

Allowance: $15

Delegate a bounded task with its own usage record.

FOR PROVIDERS

Know what your service delivered

Link usage and signed claims to the service branch that requested them.

FOR CUSTOMERS

See the whole allocation

Set each service’s allowance and see usage across the workflow.

FOR OPERATORS

Keep the records connected

Match records to settlement. Coordinate enforcement across concurrent requests.

Metered work and settlement with quality assurance.

Use durations, counts, or recorded acceptance to connect service activity to payment terms.

DELIVERY CONDITIONS

Agree on what is billable

Set measurable quality conditions and trusted measurement sources. A signature identifies the source; it does not prove quality.

CUMULATIVE CLAIMS

Track usage as it grows

Cumulative vouchers track usage; settlement pays the accepted increment. Handle retries and external charges separately.

REFUNDS & RECOVERY

Make recourse explicit

Refunds follow the payment rail, app rules, and available funds. Revocation does not reverse settled payments.

03 · THE INTERPLANETARY AI ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL LAYER

Space-based AI training, inference, and data centers.

Space-based AI infrastructure is an active research direction: Google’s Project Suncatcher explores satellite constellations equipped with TPUs and optical links for machine learning compute. Explore the research →

THE GRAND VISION

The Interplanetary AI Economic and Financial Layer

An economy where AI agents earn, spend, and collaborate across borders and across space.

As AI takes on more work, it needs ways to exchange value, coordinate services, and account for resources. Dynamo’s ambition is to become an economic and finance layer for that activity: connecting intelligence, compute, data, and the businesses built around them.

That ambition reaches toward space-based inference, data centers, observation data, relay bandwidth, and power availability. Today’s budgeting, metering, and payment capabilities are building blocks within that larger vision.

ECONOMIC COORDINATION

Agents working with agents

Independent services buy inputs, deliver outputs, and exchange value.

MEASURABLE RESOURCES

A common language for machine work

Meter service-specific units with clear measurement sources and payment terms.

PORTABLE EVIDENCE

Records that travel with the work

Verify signed records offline with trusted keys. Fresh balances and revocations still need communication.

INTERPLANETARY RESEARCH

Design for distance and disconnection

Extend local authority, timing, reconciliation, and settlement for delayed or disconnected links.

Interplanetary operation is a long-term ambition, not a deployed capability. A future token or dedicated ledger would require separate technical, economic, and operational justification.
