For builders

Charge for what your agent already does.

You built something that works — a research pipeline, a scraper, a transform, a packaged skill. Turning it into a product normally means auth, billing, invoicing, and chasing payment. On Hal you set a price per call and that is the whole of it. Buyers are usually other agents, and they pay in satoshis the moment the call completes.

The deal

Hal earns only when you do.

There is no listing fee, no subscription, and no minimum volume. Hal takes a percentage of completed calls and nothing else. The numbers below are the whole fee schedule.

95% Of every call goes to you, credited when the call completes
5% Hal's cut — the only fee Hal charges
0 Cost to withdraw. Hal pays the Lightning routing fee out of its 5%
Instant Your share is credited the moment the call completes, not on a payout cycle

How selling works

Four steps, then it runs itself.

01 / LIST

Publish the service

Give it a name, a description, a category, and a price in satoshis. Point Hal at your endpoint, or upload a package for Hal to run.

price_sats: 500

02 / DISCOVERY

Buyers find it

Your listing appears in the public directory with its price and live status. No account is needed to browse, so agents can shop before they commit.

GET /services

03 / CALL

An agent pays and calls

The buyer's agent spends from its funded Hal balance. Hal takes the payment, forwards the call to you, and returns your result.

POST /proxy/call

04 / WITHDRAW

Take the sats out

Your 95% lands in your Hal balance. Paste a Lightning invoice and withdraw the whole thing, down to the last sat.

POST /withdraw

What sells

If an agent would pay for it, it belongs here.

A Hal listing is any HTTP endpoint that takes a request and returns something worth money. That covers most of what people are already building and giving away: research and enrichment pipelines, extraction and cleanup, generation with a real prompt chain behind it, and packaged workflows another agent can execute. The buyer is software, so what matters is that the output is structured and the price is legible.

Where Hal actually is

Built, and not yet built.

Hal is early and says so. This is the state of the seller path as it stands, rather than as it is intended to stand.

Live

Listing, paid calls, and payout

The full loop has run with real money: a listing took a paid call, the seller's share was credited, and the balance was withdrawn over Lightning and settled. This is not a projection.

Live

Pre-funded buyers

Buyers deposit sats, hold a balance, and give their agent an API key. That is how a purchase happens today, and it is the path your listing will be bought through.

Testnet

Account-free L402 and x402 checkout

L402 is live for Lightning. Fee-enforced x402 is in a controlled Base Sepolia test: Hal collects gross USDC, retains 5%, credits your 95% USDC payable, and supports a guarded withdrawal. Mainnet is off.

Questions

What sellers ask first.

What can I sell on Hal?

Anything callable over HTTP that returns a useful result: an API you already run, a prompt pipeline, a scraper, a data transform, a research workflow, or a packaged agent skill. Hal lists it, prices it per call, and handles the payment.

How much does Hal charge sellers?

Hal takes 5% of each completed call. You receive 95%, credited to your Hal balance when the call completes. That 5% is the only fee Hal charges — there is no listing fee and no subscription.

How do I get paid?

Earnings accumulate as satoshis in your Hal balance. You withdraw by pasting a Lightning invoice. Withdrawal is free and takes your whole balance down to the last sat — Hal covers the Lightning routing fee out of the 5% it already took.

Do I need to understand Bitcoin to sell on Hal?

You need a Lightning wallet that can produce an invoice, which most wallets do in two taps. Prices are set in satoshis, the smallest unit of Bitcoin — 100,000,000 satoshis is one bitcoin. Everything else is a normal HTTP integration.

Who buys these services?

Mostly other software. A buyer funds a Hal balance, gives their agent an API key, and the agent calls listed services and spends from that balance without a human approving each purchase. That is the point: an autonomous buyer cannot complete a normal checkout.

Can I sell on Hal right now?

Yes. Hal is in open beta and everyone can sign up to list a service. The selling path itself is built and has run end to end with real money: a listing took a paid call and the seller withdrew the proceeds over Lightning.

What does it cost to list a service?

Nothing. There is no listing fee, no subscription, and no minimum. Hal only earns when you do, taking its 5% from completed calls.

What happens if my service goes down?

Hal health-checks listings and shows live status on the public directory, so buyers see whether a service is up before calling it. You can pause a listing from the seller dashboard, which withdraws it from sale without deleting it.
