Made for the ecosystem
Subnet owners
Sell access to your subnet's API or model in the currency your users already hold. One POST creates an invoice; a webhook tells you when to grant access.
Ecosystem tools & services
Charge for subscriptions and usage in TAO. Analytics, infrastructure, validator tooling: your Bittensor-native customers pay without leaving the ecosystem.
Digital goods & merch
Hosted invoice pages with QR codes work out of the box for one-off sales. No checkout to build, no card processor to onboard with.

Everything a crypto merchant needs
TAO-native
Most gateways bury TAO at the bottom of a long coin list. Here it comes first: SS58 addresses, on-chain confirmation tracking, TAO pricing.
Swap to stablecoins
Convert TAO revenue to stablecoins from the dashboard whenever you choose, if you'd rather not hold the exposure.
Webhooks that arrive
Every event is HMAC-signed with your per-merchant secret and retried with exponential backoff, up to 8 attempts. You can also redeliver any event manually from the dashboard.
Payouts
Move funds to your own wallets with tracked payout statuses. No support ticket needed to access your own money.
Multi-merchant
Separate brands, regions, or environments under one account, each with its own API key, webhook secret, and event history.
Security by default
Two-factor auth (email or TOTP), httpOnly sessions, CSRF protection, and webhook destinations validated against SSRF.

setup & monthly fees
The commission appears as commission_amount on every invoice, so there is no hidden spread. Payouts run from $10 to $5,000 each, capped at $10,000 per day. TAO purchases go from $1 to $5,000 per order. For higher limits or an individual rate, write to support.
06/FAQ
Common questions
Why TAO-first?
Almost no payment gateway takes Bittensor seriously: TAO is either unsupported or buried in a long list of coins. We build for the Bittensor ecosystem because that is where we come from. TMC PAY is a TaoMarketCap project.
Which currencies and networks are supported?
BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, POD, TAO and XMR across seven mainnet networks including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Base, BNB Smart Chain, Tron, Bittensor and Monero.
What about TAO volatility?
You decide your exposure. Keep revenue in TAO, or swap it to stablecoins from the dashboard when you want to lock in fiat value.
When do I fulfil an order?
When the invoice.confirmed webhook arrives. It means the target number of on-chain confirmations was reached. Earlier events (pending, confirming) only report progress.
Is there a testnet?
No, the platform runs on mainnet only. For integration testing, create a dedicated test merchant and send a small real amount. The demo above runs on mock data and moves no funds.
How are webhooks secured?
Each delivery is HMAC-signed with a secret only you and we know. Failed deliveries retry automatically with exponential backoff for up to 8 attempts, and you can redeliver any event manually from the dashboard.
