OrbitalPay
Payment Infrastructure for the Autonomous Economy
The economics of agent-to-agent commerce are fundamentally different from human commerce. A research agent might pay 200 different data providers in a single session, each transaction worth a fraction of a cent. Traditional payment rails — designed for $50 purchases with 2.9% plus $0.30 per transaction — make this mathematically impossible. OrbitalPay was designed from the ground up for this reality.
Autonomous systems — AI agents, IoT devices, RPA bots — can act, but they cannot pay. Payment systems built for humans don't work at agent speed, sub-cent scale, or without a human initiating every transaction. And when an agent does transact — on whose authority? Against whose KYC? With what audit trail?
Key Capabilities
Sub-Cent Precision
Microdollar resolution: one-millionth of a dollar. Transactions as small as $0.000001 are first-class operations. No truncation, no floating-point drift, no accumulated rounding errors.
Instant Settlement
Every payment settles in under a millisecond. Off-chain ledger model with immutable, append-only records. No gas fees, no blockchain congestion, no confirmation delays.
Reputation Economy
Every wallet scores between 0.0 and 1.0, computed in real time. Five trust tiers — New, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum. Public lookups before every transaction.
Machine-Payable Web
Native x402 participant. When an agent encounters a payment challenge, Orbital handles verification, payment, and settlement through the instant ledger.
Fleet Management & Controls
Enterprise dashboard for wallet fleets, per-wallet spending limits, per-organization volume caps, global transfer pause, and complete audit trails.
Passport Identity Integration
Every agent traces back to a verified human via OrbitalPassport. Cryptographic authorization permits, three independent authentication paths, chain-of-trust provenance.
How It Works
Agents authenticate through Orbital Passport — identity verified, trust scored
Wallets funded via card, crypto, or regional payment methods
Agents transact autonomously — sub-millisecond settlement, microdollar precision
Every transaction logged in an immutable ledger, every agent reputation-scored
