Agent Credit Protocol

Brex for AI Agents

Credit lines for autonomous agents on Tempo + MPP

AI agents can't spend money autonomously

The Key Insight

Agents need money.
They don't have wallets.
The vault lends it.

// ERC4626 vault on Tempo mainnet vault.lend( agent, // ← receives USDC.e amount ) // Agent now has tokens in their wallet // Agent uses tempo sessions/charges directly // Operator settles debt with interest later

Pure lending. The vault doesn't touch payments.
Agents use their own wallets. Credit card is the backstop.

How It Works

LP deposits USDC.e into ERC4626 vault → receives cvUSDC shares │ Operator registers → wallet signature + Stripe card on file │ vault.lend(agent, amount) → USDC.e sent to agent's wallet │ Agent calls any MPP service directly (sessions, charges) Agent has tokens. Operator debt accrues on-chain. │ Operator settles debt → principal + 15% APY interest → vault │ Share price rises → all LPs earn yield proportionally No dilution. Early LPs earn more. Standard ERC4626.

Utilization-Based Rate Curve

Interest rate adapts dynamically based on vault utilization. Like Aave, but for agent credit.

80% optimal 50% util → 10% APY
50% APY
5% APY
100%
Low utilization → 5% APY → cheap credit, attracts borrowers
High utilization → 50% APY → incentivizes repayment + LP deposits

Every agent framework — LangChain, CrewAI, Anthropic, OpenAI —
needs credit infrastructure as agents become transactional.

ERC4626 Yield Model

Flow Mechanism Effect on Share Price
LP deposits USDC.e in → cvUSDC shares out Neutral (shares minted at current price)
Agent spends vault.lend() sends USDC.e to agent Slight dip (assets decrease temporarily)
Operator settles Principal + 15% APY interest → vault Rises (interest is new assets, no new shares)
Default Collateral seized, LP absorbs loss Drops (assets lost, shares unchanged)
