Pricing
Per-call USDC pricing, included quotas, spend caps, and how to read the meter.
Sendero charges when the agent acts. There are no seat licenses and no SaaS minimums.

Production billing
Production tenants can use a segment-aware catalog. A corporate or AI-agent booking can carry a fixed confirmation fee plus a GMV take rate, while low-risk reads stay cheap. The billing layer also supports tenant spend caps and idempotent meter events so retries do not double-charge.
Reading the meter
The direct HTTP tool surface returns payment metadata:
For tenant-level billing, meter events roll up by tenant, action, channel, and idempotency key.
Failures are free
If a tool errors before producing a result, no payment is captured. The EIP-3009 authorization is discarded server-side; no refund is needed.
Why Arc
For reference, a single USDC transfer on Ethereum mainnet can cost dollars in gas. Sendero's Arc-native tool calls can stay below a cent while still producing an auditable payment trail.
