Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Byte Protocol.
- What is the primary function of Byte Protocol?
- Byte Protocol enables AI agents to pay for data per byte using x402 USDC on the Base network. It uses EIP-712 attestations for secure transactions without requiring a dedicated token.
- How can I install Byte Protocol with a popular MCP client?
- Installation details depend on the specific MCP client used, such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Cline. Refer to the client's documentation for instructions on integrating stdio-based MCP servers.
- Does Byte Protocol require an API key or other credentials?
- No, Byte Protocol does not require an API key or other credentials for authentication. It operates without a token and utilizes EIP-712 attested transactions.
- What are the typical financial costs associated with using Byte Protocol?
- Costs are incurred on a per-byte basis when AI agents utilize data. Transactions are denominated in x402 USDC on the Base network, so standard network gas fees apply.
- What is a key prerequisite for using Byte Protocol effectively?
- Users must have x402 USDC available on the Base network to facilitate per-byte payments. The protocol relies on EIP-712 for transaction attestation.
