Lobstack is a managed cloud platform for deploying autonomous AI agents. Each agent runs on a dedicated virtual machine with persistent memory, 117+ integrations, and goes live in under 90 seconds with zero DevOps.

How long does it take to deploy an AI agent?

You can deploy an AI agent on Lobstack in under 90 seconds. Describe what your agent should do, pick a model, and Lobstack handles all the infrastructure — no Docker, Kubernetes, or server setup needed.

What AI models does Lobstack support?

Lobstack supports 24 AI models including Claude Opus and Sonnet from Anthropic, GPT-5 and GPT-4o from OpenAI, Gemini 2.5 Pro from Google, plus DeepSeek, Mistral, and Grok. You can hot-swap models without losing agent memory or configuration.

Is Lobstack secure for enterprise use?

Yes. Every agent runs in a gVisor-sandboxed VM with AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, HashiCorp Vault for secrets, row-level security on all tables, and full audit logging. Lobstack is SOC 2 aligned.

Lobstack Pay

Programmable money rails for autonomous agents. Lobstack Pay gives every agent a policy-governed smart-account wallet and lets it pay for APIs, resources, and other agents in USDC — with on-chain receipts, gas sponsored, no keys to manage.

✅

Enterprise-grade by design

Spend caps, allowlists, and human-in-the-loop approvals are enforced before any payment moves. Custody is hybrid — Lobstack-managed smart accounts by default, or your own treasury (Safe) for non-custodial enterprise control. Settlement is USDC on Base, plus USD-pegged Lobstack Credits.

How it works#

Lobstack Pay implements LSP-1, the Lobstack Agentic Settlement Protocol. The headline capability is the x402 "payment-required" handshake: when an agent calls a paid resource and receives HTTP 402 with payment terms, the protocol quotes it, checks the wallet's spend policy, settles in USDC (gas sponsored), and the agent retries with a cryptographic proof — fully autonomously, within the limits you set.

Agent hits a paid API → gets 402 + LSP terms (asset, amount, payTo, chain, nonce).
Bridge forwards them to POST /api/pay/x402.
Policy engine evaluates the intent (caps / allowlist / approval threshold).
If allowed, the LobstackSettlement contract settles USDC and emits a receipt keyed by nonce.
Agent retries the resource with the X-Lobstack-Payment proof header.

Components#

Layer	What it is
Agent wallet	Account-abstraction smart account — Coinbase Smart Wallet (managed) or Safe (enterprise non-custodial). Programmable: caps, allowlists, session keys.
Paymaster	Sponsors gas — agents transact in USDC and never hold native ETH.
Policy engine	Per-tx / daily / monthly limits, recipient allow/block lists, and human approval thresholds — enforced before signing.
Settlement	LobstackSettlement contract on Base — moves USDC and emits verifiable PaymentSettled receipts for the x402 handshake.
Lobstack Credits	USD-pegged accounting unit (1 credit = $1) for instant off-chain settlement and agent-to-agent payments; redeemable into the future LOB token post-TGE.

API#

Callable by the dashboard (your session) or the agent bridge.

Wallet & balances#

GET /api/pay/wallet

curl https://lobstack.ai/api/pay/wallet \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
# → { chain, wallet:{address,custody,status}, balances:{usdc,credits}, policy, tokenRedemption }

x402 autonomous payment#

POST /api/pay/x402

curl -X POST https://lobstack.ai/api/pay/x402 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "status": 402,
    "requestUrl": "https://api.example.com/premium",
    "body": { "asset":"USDC", "amount":0.01, "payTo":"0xResource…", "chain":"base", "nonce":"abc" }
  }'
# → { paid:true, proof:{header,value}, retry:"https://api.example.com/premium" }

Intents (manual / A2A)#

Create → approve → execute

# create (runs the policy engine)
POST /api/pay/intents   { "amount": 5, "asset": "USDC", "toAddress": "0x…" }
# approve (only if over the approval threshold)
PATCH /api/pay/intents  { "intentId": "…", "action": "approve" }
# settle
POST /api/pay/execute   { "intentId": "…" }

Spend policy#

Every wallet starts with a conservative default ($50/tx, $200/day, $2k/mo, approvals over $100). Tune it from the dashboard or:

PATCH /api/pay/wallet

curl -X PATCH https://lobstack.ai/api/pay/wallet \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "per_tx_limit_usdc": 25, "daily_limit_usdc": 100, "require_approval": false,
        "allowlist": ["0xTrustedResource…"] }'

Lobstack Credits → LOB token#

Credits are USD-pegged and settle instantly (ideal for agent-to-agent micropayments and metered usage). They are forward-compatible with a future Lobstack (LOB) token: every credit is tagged redeemable, so once redemption is enabled at token launch, balances convert at the published rate — no migration, no action needed from you.

⚠️

Status

The protocol, policy engine, Credits settlement, and the x402 handshake are live. On-chain USDC settlement is implemented (viem custodial signer on Base — via the LobstackSettlement contract for receipts, or a direct USDC transfer) and activates once PAY_RPC_URL + PAY_SIGNER_PRIVATE_KEY are set (see contracts/README.md); until then USDC intents return 501 and Credits payments work today.
