The internet-native standard for high-fidelity financial data. Powered by the x402 protocol and the Arc blockchain to enable real-time, pay-per-query signal settlement at sub-cent scale.
Every API today charges subscriptions or bulk credits because processing a $0.002 payment has been physically impossible — the transaction fee to move that money is bigger than the money itself. So the entire internet settled for an inferior pricing model. You pay $99/month for a data feed whether you query it once or a million times.
AI agents can't pay for what they use because there's no payment rail that works at that granularity.
When an AI agent needs a market signal, it should pay exactly for that signal — $0.002, settled instantly, no human involved, no subscription, no batching. The agent queries, the agent pays, the provider gets paid. Every single time.
That's machine-to-machine commerce working the way software actually works.
Gas fees drop from $1.50 to $0.00001. That one change makes the entire model viable. A pricing structure that was mathematically impossible — negative 69,000% margin on Ethereum — becomes 99.5% margin on Arc. Same product, same payments, completely different economics.
This isn't really about quant signals. It's a proof that any digital resource — compute, data, API calls, AI inference, bandwidth, storage — can be priced and settled per unit of actual consumption. The subscription model only exists because micropayments didn't work. Now they do. That changes the entire economic layer of the internet.
QuantMesh is just the first application sitting on top of that primitive.
QuantMesh eliminates the friction between data providers and consumers through the x402 payment protocol.
Every signal request is settled atomically via x402, a standard HTTP payment header. No subscriptions, no wallets to manage — just HTTP 402 Payment Required.
USDC payments settle on Arc's L2 — a high-throughput blockchain designed for micropayments. Full audit trail recorded directly into a local SQLite ledger.
Momentum, volatility, sentiment, and arbitrage spread signals computed from real market data via yfinance. Served via a FastAPI backend wrapper.
Legacy networks like Ethereum make individual signal queries impossible. Gas fees swallow the margin of high-frequency data consumption. QuantMesh settles transactions instantly for a fraction of a cent.
Process 10,000 queries per second without bottlenecks.
