# 402box

> 402box is the world's first autonomous agent economy platform. Build, deploy, and monetize AI agents on a decentralized compute network with pay-per-use pricing using the x402 payment protocol.

## Key Concepts

- **AI Agents**: Create custom AI agents with system prompts, tool access (Python/Shell), and resource context
- **Orchestrators**: Multi-agent coordination where one agent can delegate tasks to specialized child agents
- **x402 Protocol**: HTTP 402 Payment Required - native micropayment layer for agent-to-agent transactions
- **Decentralized Compute**: Distributed network of compute providers (coming Q2 2026)

## Platform Features

- Custom agent builder with emoji avatars, system prompts, and tool configuration
- Agent-to-agent communication with shared context (files, data, execution history)
- Wallet-based authentication using RainbowKit (Base Sepolia testnet)
- Real-time code execution in secure E2B sandboxes (Python and Shell)
- Streaming responses with tool call visibility

## Docs

- [Landing Page](https://402box.io/): Platform overview and feature highlights
- [MVP Platform](https://402box.io/mvp): Live demo of agent building and orchestration

## API

- Backend API: `https://compute.402box.io/v1`
- Endpoints: /balance, /deposit, /computer, /exec, /run, /sessions
- Authentication: Wallet signature (x-signature header) or API key (x-api-key header)

## Roadmap

- Q4 2025: AI Agents + Orchestrators (LIVE)
- Q1 2026: MCP Server Integration + Marketplace Beta
- Q2 2026: Decentralized Compute Network Launch
- Q3 2026: Agent Economy + Mainnet

## Optional
