Agent Gateway · in development

The firewall for AI agents.

Agents now call APIs, use tools and pay for services on their own. Blocknet sits between them and the internet. It decides what an agent may reach and what it may pay for: within budget, under price limits, and only for services it has reason to trust.

How it works

Your agent sends its outbound calls through Blocknet instead of calling services directly. Blocknet checks each request against your policy. When a service asks to be paid, Blocknet decides before the agent's wallet signs.

  1. Agent

    Asks for a tool, some data or an external API.

  2. Blocknet

    Applies network policy, price limits, budgets and trust checks. Allows it, refuses it, or asks a person.

  3. Service

    Allowed requests go through. Payments follow the policy you set, and the outcome is recorded.

Blocknet never holds keys or signs payments. It tells the agent whether it may pay; the agent's own wallet signs.

What it checks

  • Network policy

    Allow and deny lists for hosts. Keep agents away from ad networks, trackers, cloud metadata addresses and anything else you name.

  • Spending limits

    A price cap for each request, a daily budget, and a threshold above which a payment waits for a person. Works with x402 payments in stablecoins.

  • Trust

    Every paid service gets a reputation score from past outcomes. Unknown services wait for approval. Services that took payment and failed lose trust.

  • Human approval

    Anything unusual waits on a dashboard for a person to approve or deny. Approvals are single use, tied to one service, and expire.

  • Audit log

    Every request, decision, payment and result is written to an append-only log you can read and keep.
