agentic identity and payments infrastructure. x402 + browser use + agentmail.
the infra agents need to actually do things
bip gives agents economic capability. they can autonomously sign up for services, verify emails, create funded wallets, navigate signup flows, post to x, source and list products on shopify. one-liner install: curl -sSL bip.dev/install.sh | sh.
the four pillars
- identity — agentmail inboxes per agent. browser use cloud sessions with persistent profiles. encrypted credential storage.
- compute — browser use cloud task execution with stealth, proxy routing, captcha solving (2captcha for arkose/funcaptcha). step-chained intent orchestration.
- financial — solana wallet generated per agent. full ledger (deposits, holds, debits, settlements, releases). on-chain funding sync. x402 payment rail for machine-to-machine.
- policy — per-intent budget caps, daily spend limits, provider allowlists, api quotas.
the intent lifecycle
create_intent → approve_intent → execute_intent → intent_status. auto-approve under $10. above that, human signs off. the intent abstraction bridges legacy web2 flows (which need browser automation + captcha solving) and future x402-native agents (which can pay with crypto natively).
what this unlocks
real demos shipped at the y combinator hackathon:
- agent buys an openrouter api key (email verify + key extraction from the dashboard)
- agent signs up for x.com (captcha solving + email verification)
- agent runs shopify dropshipping (cj dropshipping api + llm-generated product copy)
- agent uses bitrefill gift cards or treasury prepaid cards for legacy flows that don't take crypto
what shipped
built at the browser use web agents hackathon at y combinator hq. live at bip.dev. backend on convex with bun + vercel edge. observability via laminar/hud. agents discover capabilities by reading /skill.md at the domain — no sdk required.
