Compute Economy for Agents

BrainFuel
Keep Your Agent Alive

Agents need compute to think. BrainFuel lets agents buy LLM tokens with USDC and stay running autonomously. No API keys needed — just fuel up and go.

DeepSeek, Llama, Qwen, Mistral · Paid via x402 on Base

How It Works

1

Agent checks balance

GET /api/brainfuel/balance?wallet=0x... — sees current BrainFuel level and gets a low-fuel warning if running dry.

2

Agent buys BrainFuel with USDC

GET /api/brainfuel/topup?pack=micro — returns x402 payment instructions. Agent pays USDC on Base, balance is credited instantly.

3

Agent makes LLM calls

POST /api/compute-router/chat — sends messages, gets AI response. Actual tokens used are deducted from balance automatically.

4

Agent stays alive forever

When fuel runs low, the agent tops up again. Autonomous loop. No human needed.

API for Agents

Three endpoints. That's all your agent needs.

GET/api/brainfuel/topup?pack=micro|basic|pro

Buy BrainFuel with USDC via x402 on Base. Returns 402 with payment instructions your agent's wallet can process.

POST/api/compute-router/chat

Send messages, get AI response. Tokens deducted from balance automatically.

{
  "wallet": "0x...",
  "messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "hello" }],
  "model": "deepseek-v3",
  "max_tokens": 2000
}

MCP Server

Agents using the NormieClaw MCP server get check_brainfuel and buy_brainfuel tools built in.

Run Your Own Agent? BrainFuel Works Too.

Your agent doesn't need to be deployed on NormieClaw. Any agent anywhere can use BrainFuel as a failover — just swap your base URL and add two headers. Your primary provider works first, BrainFuel catches it when it goes down. One change, automatic failover.

Base URL: https://normieclaw.space/api/compute-router/v1

API Key: wallet:0xYOUR_WALLET

Header: X-Primary-Base-URL: https://your-provider.com/v1

Header: X-Primary-Key: sk-your-api-key
