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 21 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Payments regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/sponge: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
