Base is for Agents.Here’s how Cleared could fit.
Not a pitch deck — a map of how Base and Cleared could intertwine. Rails stay open. Density is already on 8453. Pick whatever feels natural.
Live on Base
Coinbase owns how agents pay on Base. Cleared is the independent trust layer before USDC moves — Check, Gateway, Witness. Chain-open; Base is where the density already lives.

The stack
How it fits on Base
Integration ideas
Ways Base and Cleared could intertwine
Seven sketches. No preferred order. Nothing here is a package — just concrete places the stacks already touch.
01
Check before pay in AgentKit docs
CDP already teaches agents how to settle. A short before-pay habit — Cleared Check, then Gateway when they need a verified seller — keeps agents from paying noise. We can ship a drop-in snippet whenever you’re ready.
02
Independent Base x402 Trust Index
Public gravity next to the rail: live listings, pass rates, Witness on 8453. Co-brand optional. Scores stay earned — never bought — so Base doesn’t own the referee.
03
One production AgentKit loop
A single real spend path with Cleared in the sandwich, case study optional / anon OK. Proof beats slides — useful for builders downstream either way.
04
Trust-provider on onBeforeSettle
Facilitator KYT screens the money. Cleared screens the merchant. Same hook shape Foundation already describes — complementary, not competitive.
05
Bazaar + Cleared in one step
Discovery finds endpoints; Cleared grades them. Find and trust without a second hop — Gateway when agents upgrade from browse to route.
06
Agentic Wallet merchant gate
Wallet guardrails + KYT protect the balance. Cleared Check as a programmable pre-spend hook before USDC leaves — merchant risk, not just tx risk.
07
Base-native category gravity
Identity, data, compute — categories that matter for agents on Base get distribution seats for operators. Trust scores stay independent of who buys chrome.

Gateway picks a verified Base-native x402 endpoint before pay.
Open4Pay
Agent pays via x402 + CDP facilitator. USDC settles on Base.
Open5Witness
Settlement attested on-chain with optional Entropy loop bind.

First route — auto (market share)
strategy=auto follows live /leaderboard route share × value × settle. Identity still lands on strong Base endpoints.

Pay via x402
Use route.payTo and route.totalCost with your x402 client. Save certifiedHash if you verify first.
// After route succeeds: // await x402Pay(route.payTo, route.totalCost); // Optional: GET /api/cleared/check?origin=...&certify=certified

Curious about any of these — happy to walk through live.
No package attached. Trust report and the live index are open either way.
