Sponge

Sponge builds financial infrastructure for the agent economy — wallets that let AI agents hold and spend money, and a gateway that lets businesses sell services directly to agents. The Sponge Wallet API gives an agent its own multi-chain crypto wallet with balances, transfers, swaps, cross-chain bridges, payment links, cards (including a Rain-issued Visa Sponge Card), fiat onramps (Coinbase, Stripe), and trading on Hyperliquid and Polymarket, plus paid access to external services via the x402 and MPP agent-payment protocols. A TypeScript and Python SDK, a spongewallet CLI, and hosted MCP servers ship first-party. Backed by Y Combinator (W2026).

Sponge publishes 10 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Agents API, Cards API, Fiat API, and 7 more. Tagged areas include Company, Agent Payments, AI Agents, Wallets, and Cryptocurrency.

Sponge’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, support, signup flow, authentication, CLI, sandbox, and 20 more developer resources.
