What is Pyrimid?
Pyrimid is a protocol where vendors sell paid MCP tools / AI APIs, agents discover and buy them via x402, and commissions settle instantly in USDC via smart contracts on Base.
Agent discovers a product โ purchases via x402 โ smart contract splits payment:
1% โ Protocol treasury
0โ50% โ Affiliate agent (set by vendor)
Remainder โ VendorNo affiliate? Vendor gets 99%. Vendors only pay for distribution that drives real sales. One layer only โ no MLM, no pyramids. Just clean, transparent commission splitting onchain.
Why Pyrimid?
| Problem | Pyrimid's Solution |
|---|---|
| Agents can't monetize recommendations | Earn commissions by recommending products to users |
| Vendors can't reach agents at scale | List once, get discovered by every agent on the network |
| Commission payments are slow & opaque | Instant USDC settlement via smart contracts โ fully auditable |
| No standard for agent commerce | x402 payments + MCP tools + onchain registry = open standard |
Live buyer-agent test surfaces
Call these without payment to receive HTTP 402 with x402 accepts[] metadata. Retry with X-PAYMENT or X-PAYMENT-TX after payment.

Three Integration Paths
| Path | Who | Effort | Leverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Embedded Resolver | Agent frameworks & toolkits | 3 lines | Every agent on your stack earns you commissions |
| MCP Server | Agent infrastructure providers | 5 lines | Agents connect to your server to discover products |
| Vendor Middleware | API & product builders | 10 lines | Activate affiliate distribution on your product |
Smart Contracts (Base Mainnet)
All contracts are deployed and verified on Base. ERC-1967 upgradeable proxy pattern.
| Contract | Address | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Registry | 0x34e22fc2...389 | Affiliate & vendor registration, ERC-8004 identity linking |
| Catalog | 0xC935d6B7...908 | Product listings with pricing & commission rates |
| Router | 0xc949AEa3...68B | Commission splitting engine with maxPrice slippage protection |
| Treasury | 0x74A512F4...12C | Protocol operations fund |

npm install @pyrimid/sdkQuick Start
Install the SDK
npm install @pyrimid/sdkFor Agents โ Find & Recommend Products
import { PyrimidResolver } from '@pyrimid/sdk';
const resolver = new PyrimidResolver({ affiliateId: 'af_your_id' });
// Search the catalog
const product = await resolver.findProduct("trading signals");
// Purchase with x402 payment (auto-splits commissions)
if (product) {
const receipt = await resolver.purchase(product, agentWallet);
console.log(`Earned: $${receipt.affiliate_earned / 1_000_000} USDC`);
}For Vendors โ List Your Product

// 10 lines to activate affiliate distribution
app.use(pyrimidMiddleware({
vendorId: 'vn_your_id',
products: {
'/api/signals/latest': {
productId: 'signals_latest',
price: 250_000, // $0.25 USDC
affiliateBps: 1000, // 10% to affiliates
},
},
}));For Frameworks โ Embed as Default Layer
