01What we do

Settlement rails, exposed as software.

WhaPay turns slow, batched B2B payment workflows into instant, programmable operations — so the systems that buy, sell, and reconcile can do so without human intervention.

— 01
Settlement rails

Move value between businesses in seconds, not days. Regulated stablecoin settlement on public chains, abstracted behind a single API.

— 02
Programmable APIs

Initiate, route, and reconcile payments from your own software. Idempotent, webhook-driven, auditable — designed for engineering teams.

— 03
Agent-driven commerce

The infrastructure layer for autonomous software that needs to pay for services, compute, or data, and settle with predictable cost and finality.

02How it works

A typical flow, end to end.

Your application calls a single API. WhaPay handles routing, settlement, and reconciliation against regulated rails. Finality in roughly two seconds.

Step 01
Software requests payment

Your application — service, agent, or backend — calls the WhaPay API with an amount, recipient, and metadata.

Step 02
API routes through best rail

WhaPay selects the optimal settlement path based on cost, finality requirements, and counterparty support.

Step 03
USDC settles on Base

Regulated stablecoin settlement completes on Base mainnet in approximately two seconds, with full on-chain finality.

Step 04
Reconciliation back to caller

A signed webhook returns to your service with settlement proof, fees, and a reconcilable transaction record.

03Built for compliance

Institutional posture from day one.

WhaPay operates as a US C-Corporation registered in Delaware. We work with licensed partners for KYC and AML, and use only regulated, audited stablecoins for settlement.

— 01
KYC / AML through licensed partners

Onboarding, identity verification, and ongoing monitoring are performed by regulated partners with established compliance programs.

— 02
Regulated stablecoin settlement USDC

Settlement uses USDC, a regulated and audited stablecoin issued by Circle, on Base — a public, regulated EVM chain.

— 03
SOC 2 In progress

We are in active engagement with an auditor for a SOC 2 Type I report, with Type II to follow as the operating window matures.

— 04
Operating entity

All services are provided by WhaPay Inc., a Delaware C-Corporation domiciled in the United States.

04Use cases

Where software needs to settle, not just signal.

Workloads we are well-suited for today, with first design partners.

— Use case 01

AI agents paying for API calls and services

Autonomous agents that consume third-party services need a metered, programmable way to pay — without holding card credentials or batching invoices.

— Use case 02

Software-to-software micropayments

Per-request, per-token, or per-event settlement between services, with fixed cost characteristics and on-chain auditability.

— Use case 03

Programmable B2B settlement

Replace ACH, wire, and reconciliation latency for vendor-to-vendor settlement inside a software platform or marketplace.

05Developers

A typed SDK, a public repo, a live npm package.

Install the SDK, point it at a network, and initiate your first settlement in minutes. The repo is open on GitHub.

~/your-app
# install
npm install @grip-labs/sdk

// initialize
import { Whapay } from '@grip-labs/sdk';

const wp = new Whapay({
  apiKey: process.env.WHAPAY_KEY,
  network: 'base-mainnet',
});

// initiate a settlement
const tx = await wp.payments.create({
  amount: 12.50,
  currency: 'USDC',
  recipient: 'biz_8f2a...',
  metadata: { invoice: 'inv_2026_001' },
});

The SDK is published as @grip-labs/sdk and the source is open on GitHub under the grip-protocol organization.

06Stage

Where we are, plainly.

2026 · Pre-GA

Early stage. Working with first design partners. Open to talking with builders, regulated stablecoin issuers, and infrastructure partners who want to help shape what software-driven settlement should look like.
