MoltyDexter: Dexter x402 Plugin for Moltbot
Your Moltbot agent can now pay for premium APIs. Automatically.
AI Agents That Can Pay for What They Need
JANUARY 2026 — Dexter, the leading x402 facilitator powering millions of autonomous payments, today announces MoltyDexter – a plugin that enables Moltbot AI agents to discover and pay for x402-enabled services autonomously.
For the first time, Moltbot users can give their AI agents the ability to access premium APIs, pay for data services, and consume x402 resources—all without human intervention on each transaction.
What Is MoltyDexter?
MoltyDexter is an official Moltbot plugin that bridges Moltbot's powerful AI agents to Dexter x402 payment infrastructure. Once installed, your Moltbot agent can:
- Discover verified x402 APIs – Browse available paid services from the Dexter Marketplace, backed by Dexter's AI endpoint verification
- Pay autonomously – Execute USDC payments through Dexter Facilitator when accessing paid resources
- Manage budgets – Respect per-transaction and total spending limits you define
- Track expenses – Full transparency on what your agent paid for and why
It's the difference between an AI that can only use free tools and one that has a wallet.
Why This Matters
The Agent Economy Needs Agent-Native Payments
AI agents are increasingly capable of complex multi-step tasks. But most agents hit a wall when they encounter paid services—they have to stop and ask a human for payment, breaking the autonomous workflow.
MoltyDexter removes that wall. Your Moltbot agent can now:
- Access premium market data for trading analysis
- Pay for computation-heavy AI inference
- Consume specialized APIs that charge per-request
- Execute any x402-enabled service in the ecosystem
Moltbot + Dexter = Complete Agent Stack
Moltbot brings the AI reasoning, tool orchestration, and multi-channel communication (Telegram, Discord, CLI). Dexter brings the payment infrastructure with sub-400ms settlement and gas-free transactions.
Together, they create agents that can think and transact.
How It Works
1. Install the Plugin
moltbot plugin add @dexterai/moltbot-x402
2. Configure Your Wallet
Set up a Solana wallet that your agent will use for x402 payments. You control the keys, you set the limits.
moltbot config set plugins.entries.@dexterai/moltbot-x402.config.svmPrivateKey "your-key"
moltbot config set plugins.entries.@dexterai/moltbot-x402.config.maxPaymentUSDC "5.00"
3. Fund and Go
Deposit USDC to your configured wallet. Your Moltbot agent can now access any x402 service within your spending limits.
Built-In Safeguards
MoltyDexter includes multiple layers of spending control:
| Safeguard | Description |

| Per-transaction limit | Maximum USDC for any single x402 payment |
| Session budget | Optional cap on total spending per conversation |
| Wallet balance | Agent can only spend what's in its wallet |

You're always in control of how much your agent can spend.
