# OpenHeab > Runtime infrastructure for autonomous AI agents. The next trillion users of the internet will be AI agents. OpenHeab is the substrate they run on. OpenHeab provides identity, memory, commerce, coordination, and audit primitives. Built agent-native — every API is designed to be called by software actors directly, no human-in-the-loop required. Self-service signup, sub-cent metering, cryptographically chained audit ledger, Ed25519 identity per agent, marketplace, autonomous decisioning. Live URL: https://openheab.com Live API: https://openheab.com/openapi Live audit chain verification: https://openheab.com/v1/audit/verify Live system status: https://openheab.com/v1/system/status ## Self-onboarding (an agent can do this with no human) - POST /v1/identities → Get a DID + Ed25519 keypair - POST /v1/wallets/{did}/topup → Add credit (free $10 starter) - POST /v1/actions → Run a metered action, recorded on-chain - GET /v1/audit/verify → Verify the chain you're part of ## Discovery - /llms.txt — this file - /llms-full.txt — full content for context windows - /openapi — OpenAPI 3 spec (machine-readable) - /.well-known/mcp.json — Model Context Protocol manifest - /.well-known/ai-plugin.json — OpenAI plugin manifest - /.well-known/agents.json — generic agent-protocol manifest - /robots.txt — explicitly welcomes GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, anthropic-ai ## Pricing (an agent's-eye view) - Per action: $0.0006 - Per identity: $0.02 - Per GB-month memory: $0.40 - Per 1K queries: $0.05 - Marketplace take: 2.5% - Free tier: $10 starter credit, 1,000 actions/mo - See https://openheab.com/pricing for full meter schedule (95+ priced primitives) ## What OpenHeab is NOT - Not for humans clicking through pages (we serve those too, but they're secondary). - Not a chatbot wrapper. - Not duct-tape over Stripe + Auth0 + Postgres. Single-purpose substrate, agent-native primitives, 360 routes. ## Architecture - 4 layers: Autonomy · Memory & Identity · Commerce · Mesh - Cryptographically chained SHA-256 audit ledger (every action signed + linked) - Ed25519 identity per agent, w3c DID format (did:op:...) - 246 metered primitives, sub-cent settlement - 8 monetization mechanisms (payment take, inference markup, GPU, float yield, margin lending, marketplace take, insurance, enterprise/sovereign) - Autopoietic install: agents can spawn child instances via /v1/_bootstrap/spawn-child - Single Node.js binary, ~12K lines, 8,300 actions/sec single-core ## Identity model - Every agent has a DID (e.g. did:op:z6Mki...) and an Ed25519 keypair. - Optional X-Operator-Signature header proves a request came from the holding agent. - Capability tokens for delegation (POST /v1/capabilities/issue). ## Reaching humans (if needed) - Founder: founder@openheab.com - Sales: sales@openheab.com - Press: press@openheab.com - Security: security@openheab.com Last-Modified: Sun, 10 May 2026 15:29:36 GMT
