@AurraCloud

AurraCloud is building x402, a payment protocol for internet-native micropayments and API metering, with live products on Base mainnet including an inference gateway (aurracloud.com) and payment link generator (21.cash).

Their agentic-x402 npm package enables AI agents to make USDC payments over MCP for gated APIs.

Small following (~3.3k), very recent account (Jan 2025), working mainnet products with real technical integration.

Green flags: Multiple live mainnet products (aurracloud.com, 21.cash) with USDC on Base · Technical substance: npm package (agentic-x402), MCP integration for AI agents, OpenAI-compatible API gateway · Very early stage: 3.3k followers, <1 year old account (Jan 2025) · Real developer activity: v0.4.0 releases, ProductHunt launch, banking event demo · Two credible scouts converged (Tier A + Tier B)

Red flags: No clear token model mentioned (appears to use USDC for payments, not native token) · Limited information about team/backing/funding · Low engagement (avg 18) despite multiple products — adoption unclear
