AI agents that need a task done should not need an account, an API key, or an
invoice. They should be able to pay cents and get the result.
That is what Hermes Micro-Agent does. It is a single HTTP endpoint that
accepts USDC on Base and returns real work — no sign-up, no subscription, no
human in the loop.
Four services are free forever. Call them directly:
curl -X POST https://92.5.95.177.sslip.io/free/hash \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"prompt":"hello world"}'
curl -X POST https://92.5.95.177.sslip.io/free/base64 \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"prompt":"hello"}'
curl -X POST https://92.5.95.177.sslip.io/free/convert \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"prompt":"10 km to miles"}'
curl -X POST https://92.5.95.177.sslip.io/free/json_minify \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"prompt":"{ \"a\": 1 }"}'
Each returns {"status":"success","task":"...","result":"...","free":true}.
curl https://92.5.95.177.sslip.io/tasks
curl -X POST https://92.5.95.177.sslip.io/task \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"task":"summarize","prompt":"your text here"}'
curl -X POST https://92.5.95.177.sslip.io/task \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-Payment: 0x<tx_hash>" \
-d '{"task":"summarize","prompt":"your text here"}'
Or call a service by name — one route per task, so a search for the service
finds the route:

The USDC Transfer is verified on-chain before any work runs. Unpaid or
unverifiable requests get 402 and nothing executes.

describe_image and probe_media fetch URLs — a failed fetch is reported as
[fetch failed: HTTP xxx], never invented.
A paid-only endpoint is invisible: discovery directories rank by usage, and
usage requires payment, and payment requires being discovered. The four free
services break that loop — an agent can call them with no money and no account,
which is what makes the paid services reachable in the first place.
curl -X POST https://92.5.95.177.sslip.io/free/hash \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"prompt":"hello world"}'
If you are building an agent and want a deterministic, pay-per-call endpoint
with no account and no subscription — this is it.
