BlockRun

The Discovery Layer for AI Agent Payments

Website License Twitter Telegram Research

BlockRun is the routing & payment layer for AI — one endpoint where AI agents autonomously discover, route, and pay for APIs using USDC via the x402 protocol. BlockRun provides pay-per-request access to 76 large language models (including GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, and Kimi), image generation, neural web search (Exa), DEX data, trading signals, and prediction market data. No API keys, no subscriptions, no vendor lock-in.

For Claude Code users: Add BlockRun in one command — access 76 models, DEX data, trading signals, and more without managing any API keys.

Table of Contents


Quick Start

from blockrun_llm import LLMClient

client = LLMClient(private_key="0x...")

# Chat with any model — payment handled via x402
response = client.chat("Hello!")

# Smart routing — auto-picks cheapest capable model
response = client.smart_chat("Summarize this article", profile="eco")

# Image generation
from blockrun_llm import ImageClient
img = ImageClient(private_key="0x...")
result = img.generate("A cyberpunk city at sunset", model="openai/gpt-image-1")

# Neural web search via Exa
results = client.search("latest AI agent frameworks")  # $0.011/search on Base or Solana
import { LLMClient, ImageClient } from 'blockrun-llm';

const client = new LLMClient({ privateKey: '0x...' });

// Chat with any model
const response = await client.chat('Hello!');

// Smart routing
const smart = await client.smartChat('Summarize this', { profile: 'eco' });

Networks

BlockRun runs on two networks with separate gateways:

Network Gateway Asset Status
Base blockrun.ai USDC ✅ Live (76 models)
Solana sol.blockrun.ai USDC ✅ Live
Polygon / Arbitrum / Optimism / Unichain nano.blockrun.ai USDC via Circle Gateway (gas-free, batched) ✅ Live
Base Sepolia testnet.blockrun.ai USDC (testnet) ✅ Testnet

Payment protocol: x402 (HTTP 402 "Payment Required") — wallet signs payment, no accounts or API keys needed. Per-token chat carries no platform margin — only a flat $0.001 transaction fee per request; media generation and Live Search carry 5%.

Enterprise (coming soon): user.blockrun.ai — API keys (brk_live_…) + wire billing, billed post-hoc at exact usage with no per-call minimum. Sign-in is not yet open; ask on Telegram.

ClawRouter — Cost Optimizer for Existing API Key Users

ClawRouter is for developers who already have API keys and want to cut costs. It routes each request to the cheapest capable model in <1ms, 100% locally.

Who it's for: Power users already paying for Claude/GPT/Gemini who want 40-92% cost reduction without changing their workflow.

blockrun-mcp vs ClawRouter:

  • New to multi-model access? → Start with blockrun-mcp (no API keys needed)
  • Already have API keys, want to save money? → Add ClawRouter (smart routing)
  • Both installed? → Maximum coverage: zero-friction access + cost optimization

Key Findings:

  • Average transaction: $0.12 (true micropayments impossible on traditional rails)
  • 53% of volume is organic business activity
  • Base dominates with 53.3% of services, Solana at 36.6%
  • 76% of services priced at $0.10 or below

See research/ for methodology.


Vision

AI agents can't pay for services. Traditional payment rails require account creation, credit cards, and KYC verification - none of which agents can do.

But agents have something better: wallets.

The x402 protocol (HTTP 402 "Payment Required") lets any HTTP request include a cryptographic payment. Pay and get response. One step.

Roadmap

Phase Timeline Focus
LLM Gateway Now Pay-per-request access to 76 AI models
Premium Data Now Neural web search (Exa), prediction markets (Predexon), Surf crypto data, DEX, image / video / music generation, voice calls
Agent Wallets Now Per-agent delegation budgets (blockrun-mcp), Franklin agent wallet, spend confirmation plugins
Multi-Chain Now Base + Solana gateways live; Polygon / Arbitrum / Optimism / Unichain via Circle Gateway (nano.blockrun.ai)
Trust In progress Smart routing shipped (router-core); service ratings and uptime tracking next

Frequently Asked Questions

What is BlockRun?

BlockRun is the routing & payment layer for AI — one endpoint where AI agents discover, route, and pay for APIs using USDC via the x402 protocol. It provides access to 76 LLMs, image generation, neural web search (Exa), and prediction market data without requiring API keys or subscriptions.

How do AI agents pay for APIs?

AI agents pay using the x402 protocol — an HTTP-native payment standard. When an agent makes a request, BlockRun returns HTTP 402 with the price. The agent signs a USDC payment locally (private key never leaves the machine), retries with the payment header, and receives the response. Settlement is non-custodial and instant on Base or Solana.

What is ClawRouter?

ClawRouter is an open-source (MIT licensed) smart LLM router built for autonomous agents. It analyzes each request across 15 dimensions and routes to the cheapest capable model in under 1ms, entirely locally. ClawRouter reduces LLM API costs by 84% versus pinning one flagship for every request.

How does BlockRun compare to OpenRouter?

BlockRun is agent-native — it uses wallet signatures for authentication instead of API keys, and USDC micropayments instead of credit cards. This means AI agents can operate autonomously without human intervention. BlockRun also includes ClawRouter for smart routing, third-party data & runtime services, and multi-chain support (Base + Solana).

What is the x402 protocol?

The x402 protocol is an HTTP-native payment standard based on HTTP status code 402 ("Payment Required"). It allows any HTTP request to include a cryptographic USDC payment, enabling machine-to-machine payments without accounts, credit cards, or KYC verification. BlockRun is a leading implementation of x402.

How much does BlockRun cost?

BlockRun uses pay-per-request pricing with no subscriptions. Per-token chat is billed at provider cost with no platform margin — only a flat $0.001 transaction fee is added per request; media generation and Live Search carry a 5% margin. Prices start at $0.002 per request for the cheapest data endpoints. $5 in USDC is enough for thousands of requests.
