TLDR

A single-function wrapper that gives your AI agent a cryptographic identity, standard communication protocol, and USDC payment acceptance, no manual integration of identity, auth, or payment systems needed.

Things people build with this

USE CASE 1

Deploy an AI agent that requires payment in USDC before it processes any request

USE CASE 2

Connect multiple AI agents so they can discover, call, and pay each other automatically

USE CASE 3

Give a Python AI agent a decentralized identity so other services can verify who it is

USE CASE 4

Expose a local AI function to the internet through a public URL without manual networking setup

Requires a USDC wallet and familiarity with decentralized identity concepts to configure the payment and auth layers.

In plain English

Bindu is an infrastructure layer that handles the plumbing needed to make AI agents, automated software that performs tasks, able to talk to each other, prove their identity, and charge money for their work. If you've built an AI agent and want to connect it to the broader ecosystem of other agents without writing a lot of setup code, Bindu handles that for you. The problem it solves: deploying an AI agent that can securely communicate with other agents, authenticate itself, and accept payments requires integrating several separate systems, identity libraries, authentication flows, payment middleware, and a communication protocol. Bindu packages all of this behind a single function call called bindufy(). How it works: you write your agent as a simple function that receives messages and returns a response. You wrap that function with bindufy() along with a configuration object that names the agent and sets a public URL. Bindu then gives the agent a cryptographic identity (a DID, a Decentralized Identifier, a standard way for software to prove who it is), puts it on a standard communication protocol so other agents can reach it, optionally exposes it to the internet without manual networking setup, and can require payment in USDC (a digital currency) before the agent accepts any requests. SDKs are available for Python, TypeScript, and Kotlin. You would use it if you're building AI agents that need to work alongside or be hired by other agents, for example, a research agent that other automated workflows can call and pay. The full README is longer than what was provided.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
Show me how to wrap a Python function with bindufy() so it becomes a publicly accessible AI agent with a DID identity and requires a USDC payment before responding.
Prompt 2
I have a TypeScript AI agent and I want other agents to be able to discover and hire it automatically. How do I configure bindu so it registers the agent in the network?
Prompt 3
How does Bindu handle the case where an agent receives a request without payment, does it reject it automatically, and how do I customize that behavior?
Prompt 4
Walk me through setting up two Bindu agents in Python where agent A calls and pays agent B, showing the config on both sides.
Prompt 5
What does the DID that bindufy() creates actually look like, and how can another agent use it to verify my agent's identity before sending a request?
