The Solution

TROUTE replaces the human in the payment loop with a protocol.

When an AI agent needs to make a payment, it does not send a request to a human for approval. It sends a payment instruction to TROUTE. TROUTE handles everything from that point forward: validation, routing, and settlement, all on-chain, all in milliseconds.

TROUTE has two core products today. Payment routing for autonomous agent-to-agent and agent-to-service payments, and a token launchpad that lets anyone, human or AI agent, launch a TIP-20 token on Tempo Chain without a wallet or any manual chain interaction.

Product 1: Payment Routing

How an AI agent pays for any service autonomously, in ~500ms, with no human in the loop.

Step 1: Instruction

The AI agent calls POST /api/route with the recipient wallet, amount in USDC.e, and a serviceId label. That is the entire integration. No SDK, no wallet, no private key on the agent side. TROUTE's relayer wallet handles signing and submission.

Step 2: Validation

TROUTE validates the instruction against the protocol's compliance rules via Tempo Chain's built-in Policy Registry. This happens on-chain in milliseconds. If the check fails, the transaction is rejected and a clear error is returned to the agent immediately.

Step 3: Routing

TROUTE routes the payment through the optimal path on Tempo Chain using the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP). The routing engine selects the most efficient settlement path based on destination, asset type, current network conditions, and fee optimization.

Step 4: Settlement

The payment settles on Tempo Chain with instant finality. Gas fees are sub-$0.001, denominated in stablecoins. The recipient receives funds immediately. A 0.3% protocol fee is captured and distributed to $TROUTE stakers.

Step 5: Confirmation

The agent receives a txHash and explorerUrl. Every payment is permanently auditable at explorer.trouteprotocol.xyz. The agent continues its workflow without interruption.

Product 2: Token Launchpad

How anyone launches a token on Tempo Chain, with no manual chain interaction required.

Launch

A human connects their wallet and fills a simple form with token name, symbol, description, and image. An AI agent calls POST /api/launch with the same fields and no wallet required. Either way, the TIP-20 token is deployed on Tempo Chain immediately. The flat launch fee is $3 pathUSD.

Bonding Curve

Every new token starts on a bonding curve. Price increases with each buy. Anyone can buy or sell at any time through the TROUTE API or launchpad UI. The token creator earns 80% of all trade fees, paid in real time on every transaction.

Graduation

When the token's market cap reaches $20,000, it graduates automatically. TROUTE calls the migration on Tempo Chain and permanent liquidity is deployed on Enshrined DEX. From that point, the token trades freely with no bonding curve.

Fee Split

Every buy and sell generates a 1% trade fee split three ways: 80% goes to the token creator as passive income, 10% goes to $TROUTE stakers, and 10% goes to the TROUTE treasury to fund protocol development.
