For agent-native products
Bounded exposure for machine spend.
Autonomous agents can already decide, route, and pay. What's missing is a risk layer that behaves like infrastructure: priced up front, bounded on the downside, and auditable without a human in the loop.
Why now
Policy needs pricing.
An agent that can spend but can't bound its exposure is a liability. Slice gives every machine transaction a locked, auditable price the moment it's quoted.
Programmable by default
Built for builders.
Agentic payments are early. The surface stays deliberately small: one API, one evidence trail, zero custody.
Builder value
- Protection exposed as a first-class primitive inside a payment policy.
- Explicit venue permissions. No hidden routing, no custodial surprises.
- Native to x402, comfortable with anything HTTP-shaped.
What technical review finds
- One quote endpoint. One transaction endpoint. A stream of settlement events.
- Durable evidence and replay protection baked into every decision.
- Reporting surfaces designed for operators, not for demos.
A priced floor for every agent action.
If your agent is already making spend decisions, Slice is the layer that makes those decisions defensible. Start with the docs, then bring us a flow.
