Tokenomics
How $APINOW Works
Clanker Launch
Fair launch via Clanker on Base. No presale, no insiders. The community gets first access.
Team: 30% Vested
Team allocation is 30%, linearly vested over 180 days. Fully aligned with long-term success.
Fee Flywheel
Fees go back into development. Proven API endpoints get their own tokens — a % of those fees flow back into $APINOW.
The Value Flywheel
The Vision
Why $APINOW Exists
AI agents are only as good as the context window and skills they have access to. We're building the infrastructure to make AI truly autonomous.
Structured Endpoints, Not Black Boxes
AI right now is a black box. We're turning it into structured, repeatable endpoints with schemas, examples, and versioning.
Evals: Olympic-Style Judging
Like the Olympics, we judge the quality of AI tool responses. Evals ensure only the best tools surface and stay accountable over time.
Curated Lists for AI Agents
Lists give AI agents groups of vetted tools. A Gym Trainer AI gets the best fitness tools. A Finance AI gets the best market tools. Curated, evaluated, ready.
x402: No Human in the Loop
All endpoints use x402 for programmatic access. No API key provisioning, no human gatekeepers. One wallet, pay per call, fully autonomous.
Through APINow, we get truly autonomous AI that can autonomously discover, evaluate, and improve its own tooling.
