Build in the Bear • One dev. Real agents. Real execution.One dev. Hosted self-custody wallet. Production agents in days.
While the market is quiet, the smartest teams are shipping. a16z just raised $2.2B to back founders turning infrastructure into real products. Solana Agent gives a single developer everything needed — a hosted self-custody wallet, gasless execution, memory, Jupiter/Kamino tools, and live cost visibility — so you can build a trading copilot, yield agent, or treasury tool without becoming a wallet company. The infrastructure is ready. The moment is now.
The smartest money is shipping.
a16z just raised $2.2 billion to back founders turning infrastructure into real products people use every day. While the market is quiet, the builders who ship now will own the next cycle.
One developer. One hosted self-custody wallet. Full trading copilot, yield agent, or treasury tool — with memory, gasless execution, and live cost visibility. No team required.
Built on Cerebras, OpenAI, Grok, MongoDB Atlas, Upstash, Helius, Jupiter, Kamino, Birdeye, Privy, Cloudflare, and x402.
Open source • Production ready • Used in real agents today
The infrastructure is here. The agents are shipping.
Solana Foundation just launched Pay.sh — a live agent payment rail. a16z ($2.2B) and Haun Ventures ($1B) are pouring capital into turning new rails into daily products. The builders who ship agents now will own the next cycle.
Official agent payment infrastructure is live. The ecosystem is moving from "can it work?" to "ship it now."
"Turning new infrastructure into products people use every day." The smartest money is betting on agents that actually transact.
“I’ve been following the flow of assets my entire career, and this is the most dynamic period in technology and finance I’ve ever witnessed.” — Katie Haun
While others wait for the next bull, the teams shipping real agents today will own the next wave. One developer. One repo. Production in days.

One API for Solana agents.
Build trading copilots, DeFi automation, portfolio assistants, treasury tools, and market research agents with one wallet-aware runtime: remember the context, prepare the transaction, route the work, and keep costs visible.
Production rails for wallets and transactions.
Your app gets one hosted self-custody wallet, gasless transactions, and your team can see usage, savings, and costs without stitching together wallet infrastructure, market data, trading routes, and billing by hand.
Wallet
App wallet included
Give your app one hosted self-custody wallet for signing, transfers, automation, and reporting.
Gasless
Network fees covered
Supported transaction flows can run without requiring SOL in the app wallet for gas.
Actions
Trading, lending, market data
Built-in tools for swaps, orders, deposits, withdrawals, borrows, repayments, analytics, and wallet actions.
What Reliable Agent Performance Looks Like
Reliable agents stay with a job, keep context, use tools, recover from mistakes, and finish the work — without constant human intervention.
Stays With the Job
Plans the work, adjusts when things change, fixes mistakes, and keeps going instead of giving a one-shot answer.
Native Solana Actions
Built-in tools for swaps, research, wallet actions, and DeFi workflows let the agent actually do the work on Solana.
Remembers the Job
Keeps goals, prior decisions, and project context across sessions so longer workflows do not reset every turn.
Reliable Tool Use
Uses multiple tools and steps without losing the goal, which matters for research, trading, support, and internal automation.
Recovers From Mistakes
Handles failures, retries safely, and resumes work with context instead of collapsing after one bad tool call.
Ready for Real Apps
Usage-based products, clear retention choices, and explicit priority behavior make it easier to ship production Solana apps with agentic wallet actions.
Production Agents for Real Work
A hosted runtime for apps that need an agent to stay on task, keep context, and perform Solana actions instead of just answering questions.
- Stays on task across longer jobs
- Connects decisions directly to actions
- Built for real customer work, not demo chat
Memory, Wallets, and Onchain Action
Keep context across sessions while the agent helps your app trade, move funds, read markets, and perform lending or yield workflows. Your app asks for the outcome; the runtime handles the Solana plumbing.
- Remembers earlier parts of a customer workflow
- Longer context for ongoing work
- Built-in tools for swaps, orders, deposits, withdrawals, borrows, repayments, market data, and wallet actions
- Supported hosted transaction flows can run without SOL in the app wallet for gas
- Has recovery paths when something fails
Hosted Delivery for Real Customers
Developer-facing delivery with clear pricing, retention choices, stable hosted responses, priority handling, and account controls for teams running real app traffic.
- Standard and priority products
- Non-streaming delivery and idempotency support
- Retention options matched to short and long-running work
- Included summary, usage, forecast, and pricing APIs
- Gasless savings and network-fee cost reporting
How Pricing Works
Start with chat or memory. Add search when the answer needs outside context. Add app-wallet actions, swaps, lending actions, and market data only when your app asks the agent to do that work. The provider names are listed below for transparency, but the product is priced around what the app actually does.

Provider pricing
What powers the agent actions
App developers do not need to lead with these provider names to use the product. They matter here because pricing should be explicit: each action shows what it does, which provider powers it, and what it costs.
Powered by Privy
App wallet
Your app gets one hosted self-custody wallet for signing actions, moving funds, running automation, and tying account reporting together.
Powered by Network fee coverage
Gasless execution
Supported hosted transactions can run without requiring SOL in the app wallet for network fees. Reporting tracks savings and your network-fee cost.
Powered by Jupiter
Swaps and orders
Token swaps, quotes, limit orders, scheduled buys, and earn-style routing when the agent needs to move assets.
Powered by Kamino
Lending and yield actions
Perform vault deposits and withdrawals, lending deposits, borrows, repayments, withdrawals, and position reads for yield and credit workflows.
Powered by Birdeye
Market intelligence
Live prices, charts, wallet analytics, token data, search, and technical signals before the agent recommends or prepares an action.
Starter pricing
Lower rates first, no plan switch
Eligible wallets start each calendar month on lower token rates. Once that allowance is used, requests continue on normal product pricing without a migration step.
Volume discounts apply only to token-priced usage after starter allowance is exhausted. Search, provider requests, and 30-day project-memory fees stay separate.
Starter input
$1.50 / 1M
Applied before standard input pricing on eligible monthly usage.
Starter output
$9 / 1M
Applied before standard output pricing on eligible monthly usage.
Allowance
200k in / 40k out
Resets every calendar month per wallet account.
Memory included
7-day work tier
30-day project memory still adds $0.50 per request.
Service tier
Standard service
Base rateDefault tier for chat and memory. Requests queue under load and bill at the standard product rate.
Service tier
Priority service
2x only when deliveredAvailable on chat and memory. If priority is unavailable, the request falls back to standard handling and standard billing.
Volume discounts
Automatic monthly token discounts
After starter allowance is exhausted, monthly token usage can reduce standard or priority token pricing automatically. Add-ons stay flat.
5M monthly tokens
15% off
Applies to token-priced usage after starter allowance is consumed.
20M monthly tokens
25% off
Higher monthly throughput automatically moves the wallet into the next discount tier.
100M monthly tokens
35% off
The deepest tier applies only to token charges, not add-ons or project-memory fees.
The real cost of shipping
Every new capability shouldn't force you to become an infra team.
Add trading, lending, or gasless flows and you suddenly need wallet management, gas sponsorship, DeFi routing, and usage billing. Solana Agent bundles the hosted self-custody wallet, gasless execution, memory, and live cost visibility — so you ship in days, not months, and only pay for what runs.
Wallet-bound auth
Secure access without a second key
A signed wallet challenge proves ownership so every cost report stays tied to the right app wallet — no extra billing product or key to manage.
- Ties reporting to the wallet that actually spent
- No second infrastructure layer for auth
One app wallet
One hosted self-custody wallet
Create the wallet once. It signs trades, lends, moves funds, sponsors gas, and powers all reporting. Stop wiring separate wallet services every time you add an action.
- Single identity for trading, lending, transfers, and gas
- Returns wallet id and address for your app
True cost view
Spend snapshot that explains the bill
See exactly what the wallet spent today, this month, and lifetime — including gasless savings and the network fees you actually paid. No more reverse-engineering why costs moved.
- Today, month, year, lifetime windows
- Gasless count, savings, and fee-payer cost
- Starter allowance used and remaining
Why spend moved
Usage breakdown by driver
Break down usage so you can answer why the bill changed — by conversation, agent, model, action, or product — without opening five different dashboards.
- Group by day, month, year or by action category
- Focus on the drivers that actually cost money
Month-end clarity
Forecast before the bill lands
Project hosted usage, action volume, gasless savings, and network-fee exposure before the month closes. Budget alerts and quota decisions without the surprise.
- Projected month-end spend and volume
- Gasless savings and fee exposure
- Good for quota checks and step-plan decisions
Price before you act
Live pricing and allowance view
Show the active rates, starter allowance, gasless accounting, search surcharges, and volume discounts so your app can explain the real cost before or after any action runs.
- Base rates, gasless visibility, provider pricing
- Month-to-date totals and starter state
The infrastructure you didn't want to build
One place that shows the real cost of every action
The moment you add trading, lending, or gas sponsorship, you become a wallet company, a gas sponsor, a DeFi integrator, and a billing platform. This surface shows spend by action, gasless savings, network-fee exposure, quota headroom, and month-end forecast — all tied to the same wallet so you don't have to stitch it yourself.
The hidden tax
Gas sponsorship cost
See exactly how much gasless execution saved you — and what the network fees actually cost the operator — before they compound.
Bill shock prevention
Month-end forecast
Project usage, token burn, and fee exposure before the billing window closes so you can adjust instead of explain.
Why the number moved
Driver attribution
Attribute every spend change to action usage, starter allowance, quota pressure, or provider pricing — one view, no five tools.
No more stitching
Wallet + DeFi + billing
Trading, lending, market data, gas sponsorship, and reporting all live under the same wallet identity without custom glue.
Quota reality check
Allowance + thresholds
Watch starter allowance headroom, discount tiers, and queue pressure in the same dashboard that shows the real cost.
The positioning that actually matters
Ship wallet-aware apps without becoming a wallet, gas, DeFi, and billing company at the same time.
A signed wallet challenge proves the right app owns the right usage. Summary, usage, forecast, pricing, and gasless accounting are all included under that single wallet scope. No second billing product. No separate reporting stack. Just the cost visibility you need once the actions start firing.

Products
Compare the hosted products directly: chat plus the two memory retention tiers. Search is an optional add-on that can be layered on top of any of them, and supported hosted transaction flows can be gasless for your app so the wallet is not blocked by SOL network fees.

* Explorer stage pricing applies to Hosted Chat and Hosted Memory at
$1.50 / 1M input and $9 / 1M output for the
first 200k input and 40k output tokens each
calendar month. Priority pricing is 2x only when priority is actually
delivered. If priority is unavailable, billing falls back to the
standard product for that same request. Hosted Memory with 30-day
project retention also adds $0.50 per request.
Volume discounts apply only to token-priced usage, not the project-memory surcharge:
15% off at 5M monthly tokens,
25% off at 20M, and 35% off at
100M. The search add-on is +$0.25 / request,
is not discounted, and runs one internal search step before the
hosted answer. Gasless support applies to supported hosted transaction
flows only; account and ops reporting track gasless savings and operator
network-fee cost separately from product pricing.
Security & Transparency
Before you let an agent prepare or execute transactions, you should know what runs the stack. Solana Agent publishes the provider choices, safety boundaries, and operating model behind the product: Cerebras and OpenAI for inference, MongoDB Atlas and Upstash for memory and queues, Helius, Jupiter, Kamino, Birdeye, Privy, Cloudflare, and PayAI x402 for Solana execution and settlement. No seed phrases, one hosted self-custody wallet, explicit transaction controls, live account reporting, and zero-downtime deploys.
