Hey guys, I'm the Founder of @indiehash.
Today we decided to do a fair launch on @Orynth to bring more awareness to what we're building and let the community take part in the journey from day one.
Indiehash is agentic payments infra. Probe Pay Unlock.
We are building a decentralised marketplace where developers and creators can monetise AI agents, bots, tools, and gated content directly at the API layer.
Buyers, whether humans or other AI agents, can pay per call in USDC on Solana. No subscriptions, no platform cut, no KYC. Just a wallet and a price.
The goal is simple: make it easier for useful agents, tools, and content to be discovered, accessed, and paid for without adding unnecessary friction.
Launching a market on Orynth helps bring more eyes to Indiehash and gives the community a simple way to discover what we are building while we keep shipping.

Why @indiehash ?
The original vision of the internet was that anyone could publish, build, and earn without asking permission.
Somewhere along the way, that changed.
Creators became dependent on platforms. Developers became dependent on API gatekeepers. AI builders became dependent on centralized model providers, payment processors, app stores, cloud vendors, and approval workflows.
You can build something useful, but you still need someone else to let you monetize it.
IndieHash exists to change that.
The single most important property of an open creator and agent economy is sovereignty.
A creator should be able to publish a premium resource without waiting for platform approval.
A developer should be able to expose an API, tool, workflow, dataset, or AI agent and charge for it directly.
An AI agent should be able to discover a service, understand its price, pay for it, and use it autonomously.
And users should not need to create an account on five platforms, hand over a card, pass through multiple layers of KYC, or negotiate custom access just to use a digital product priced at a few cents.
That is what IndieHash is building toward.
Not another marketplace where creators are just suppliers inside a centrally controlled platform.
Not another API directory where discovery is open but payments, identity, distribution, and access are still controlled by intermediaries.
Not another “AI agent platform” where every transaction ultimately depends on one company deciding who can participate.
IndieHash is designed as infrastructure for independent digital work.
A creator can list gated content.
A developer can list a paid API endpoint.
An AI builder can list an agent or workflow.
A buyer - human, bot, or another agent - can discover it, pay per use, and receive access programmatically.
The important part is that this model is naturally composable.
One agent can pay for another agent.
One workflow can call multiple paid tools.
A research agent can pay for premium data.
A trading agent can pay for a signal endpoint.
A content assistant can pay for niche knowledge.
A company can expose an internal capability as a metered service without manually handling invoices, API keys, subscriptions, or sales calls for every small customer.
This is what agent-native commerce should feel like.
The internet gave us permissionless publishing.
Crypto gave us permissionless value transfer.
AI is creating permissionless software workers.
IndieHash sits at the intersection of all three.
The future will not be only large SaaS companies selling annual contracts to humans.
It will also be millions of small services, agents, datasets, prompts, workflows, APIs, and pieces of premium knowledge interacting with each other in real time.
For that world to work, payments cannot be an afterthought.
They need to be native to the interaction itself.
A request should be able to carry a price.
A response should be unlocked after payment.
An agent should be able to pay another agent without human intervention.
A creator should be able to earn from a useful digital asset without building an entire billing stack around it.
That is the bet behind IndieHash.
We are building a place where independent creators and builders can turn useful digital work into programmable, payable services.
Not just for humans.
For the emerging economy of humans, bots, workflows, and AI agents.
IndieHash is the payment and access layer for independent digital value.
Come and deploy your agents now!
I have been working on a product for indie creators.
@indiehash is the agentic payment infra on solana.
Upload premium content, share it with your audience and get paid in USDC on solana network.
For the end user it's as simple as probe->pay->unlock premium content from your favourite creators.
You can also host an api endpoint with some ai agent doing complicated work behind the scene and get paid per api call.
No KYC. Instant payment on the solana network.
IndieHash: The Open Marketplace for AI Agents, Powered by Solana
The Problem
AI agents are proliferating - but there's no clean way for developers to monetize them, and no clean way for other agents or users to discover and pay for them. You either gate everything behind a SaaS subscription, or you give it away for free. Neither is great.
The deeper problem is that agents need to pay other agents. An orchestrator spinning up sub-agents mid-task can't stop to handle OAuth flows, API keys, and billing integrations for every service it calls. That friction kills the composability that makes agent networks powerful.
What IndieHash Is
IndieHash is a permissionless marketplace where developers list AI agents and get paid per call - in USDC, on Solana, with no middlemen taking a cut of every transaction.
You register an agent, prove you own the payment wallet with a cryptographic signature, set a price per call, and your agent is live. Any user - human or another AI - can discover it, pay the exact price, and get the resource or output back. Instantly, on-chain.
The underlying payment protocol is x402 - an extension of the HTTP 402 "Payment Required" status code that was reserved in 1996 and never properly used until now.
How x402 Works
The x402 flow is two HTTP requests:
Probe - A caller hits GET /v1/run/:agentId with no payment. The server returns 402 Payment Required with headers specifying the exact price, the recipient wallet, and a unique payment intent ID.
Proof - The caller builds a Solana transaction: an SPL token transfer (USDC) to the agent's wallet, plus an SPL Memo instruction embedding the payment intent ID. They submit the transaction on-chain, get the signature, then replay the original request with three headers: X-Payment-Tx, X-Payment-Intent, and X-Payer-Wallet. The backend verifies the transaction actually happened on Solana, that the right amount went to the right wallet, and that the memo matches the intent. If everything checks out, the content is served.
The SPL Memo binding is important: it ties the on-chain payment to a specific intent ID, which prevents replay attacks. Every payment intent is single-use and expires after 5 minutes.
No escrow. No smart contract risk. No bridge. Just a native Solana token transfer with a memo, verified server-side.
What Gets Gated
Today, IndieHash gates static resources - Markdown documents, structured data files, model specs, agent instructions - anything a downstream agent needs to understand and invoke a service. Think of it as a paid API spec: you pay once, you get the context.
This is intentionally minimal. Static content behind a paywall solves the monetization problem for the majority of AI agent use cases today: context files, data exports, prompt templates, research outputs. No server-side agent execution required.
Next phase: live endpoint forwarding - where the IndieHash gateway proxies the paid call through to your actual agent's execution endpoint, so the full request/response cycle is monetized.
How Agents Are Registered
Registration is non-custodial by design. When a developer lists an agent:
They fill in the agent details - name, description, tags, price in USDC, and which network (Devnet / Mainnet / Both).
They choose resource hosting: either a URL they control, or IndieHash S3 for storage.
The backend issues a cryptographic challenge - a one-time nonce.
The developer signs the nonce with the private key of their designated payment wallet using Ed25519 (standard Solana wallet signing - Phantom, Solflare, etc.).
The backend verifies the signature against the public key. If it matches, the wallet is proven and the agent is registered.
This means IndieHash never holds any keys, never custodies funds, and never needs to trust the developer. The payment wallet is provably theirs because they signed a message with it on registration. The same challenge/sign flow protects wallet updates.
Each registered agent gets a webhook secret - a one-time token shown only at registration. This signs every forwarded request from IndieHash so the agent can verify calls are legitimate. Rotate it any time from the dashboard.
IndieScore
Every agent on the platform accumulates an IndieScore - a composite reputation metric derived from successful payment verifications, run volume, and consistency. It's displayed on every listing and used as the default sort order. The signal is simple: agents that keep getting paid have earned that trust on-chain.
The $INDIE Token
The platform has a native token launching on @orynth - fair launch, no presale, no VC allocation. The team participates at the same price as everyone else.
$INDIE will tie into IndieScore multipliers, governance over marketplace parameters, and eventually fee-sharing for high-volume agents. Launch date announced via @indiehash.
Why Solana
Solana's fee structure makes micropayments viable. An agent call priced at $0.02 USDC needs the transaction cost to be negligible - on Solana it's fractions of a cent, confirmed in under a second. USDC on Solana is native (not bridged), liquid, and universally supported by Phantom, Solflare, and hardware wallets.
The devnet deployment uses Circle's devnet USDC, so developers can build and test the full payment flow - real wallet signing, real on-chain transactions, real signature verification - without spending real money. Faucets for devnet SOL and devnet USDC are linked directly in the UI.
Who It's For
Developers who've built useful AI agents and want to charge for access without building billing infrastructure. Register once, get a payment wallet, set a price. IndieHash handles discovery, payment verification, and content delivery.
Agent orchestrators - LLM pipelines, autonomous agents, multi-agent systems - that need to call specialized services programmatically. x402 is designed to be agent-native: the two-request probe/proof pattern is machine-readable and can be automated without human intervention.
Researchers and data providers who want to gate premium content - datasets, model specs, analysis -behind a per-access micropayment instead of a SaaS wall.
Current State
To be live on Solana Devnet soon. Real wallet signing, real on-chain payments, real signature verification. Static resource delivery behind x402. Dashboard for managing your agents, rotating secrets, updating wallets.
Mainnet launch and live endpoint forwarding are next.
