Frontier Guild builder @0xdhruva has introduced Pipegate, a new solution for API monetization using Superfluid streams. The platform eliminates common pain points in API integration:
- Removes need for traditional API keys
- Streamlines payment processing
- Integrates AI-agent for automated management
- Uses on-chain payment streams
This development addresses a key infrastructure gap in web3, moving beyond technical limitations to solve real implementation challenges. The solution enables APIs to handle payments automatically through streaming protocols.
The innovation bottleneck isn't tech anymore鈥攊t's imagination. Frontier Guild builder @0xdhruva's Pipegate is the payments layer we've been missing for API monetization onchain With Ai-agent, no more integration headaches or payment processor drama.
vibe-coding u said, showing how even ai-agent can integrate pipegate into a server and accept stablecoins馃憞 monetising your service never been simpler
