How ACN powers payments, subscriptions, wallet top-ups, and deployment access in Agent Forge

Agent Forge is powered by $ACN, the token used across the platform for crypto payments, usage wallet top-ups, exclusive yearly subscriptions, and staking-based deployment access.

ACN connects billing and deployment access to the Agent Forge product layer. You can use it to top up your wallet, pay for discounted yearly plans, and unlock deployment capacity through staking.

Where ACN Is Used

ACN is used in three major areas of Agent Forge:

Wallet top-ups - Add balance to your Agent Forge wallet with ACN, then use that balance to keep workflows and copilot calls running.
Exclusive yearly subscriptions - Pay for Plus or Pro yearly plans with ACN and receive a discounted yearly rate.
Staking tiers - Stake ACN to unlock and expand deployment access for agents and workflows. Tier details are still being finalized, but more staked ACN means more deployment capacity.

Top Up with ACN

Fund your Agent Forge wallet using ACN on Ethereum.

Yearly ACN Plans

Subscribe yearly with ACN and access exclusive crypto discounts.

Stake for Deployments

Stake ACN to unlock deployment tiers for agents and workflows.

ACN can be used to top up your Agent Forge wallet balance. This gives crypto users a usage-based billing path: instead of relying only on a monthly card subscription limit, you can keep a wallet balance and spend from it as you run workflows.

The wallet balance is used for workflow execution and copilot usage. If the wallet balance is too low, Agent Forge warns you before usage is interrupted.

How Top-Ups Work

Choose a top-up amount. Agent Forge supports preset amounts such as $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100, and custom top-ups within the configured platform limits.

Select ACN as the payment token.

Choose Ethereum. ACN payments for top-ups and yearly subscriptions are supported on Ethereum.

Connect your wallet and confirm the ACN transfer.

Agent Forge verifies the on-chain transaction, credits your wallet balance, and records the top-up in your wallet transaction history.

Top-up payments are priced in USD and converted into the required ACN amount using the current token price at the time the payment intent is created. Payment intents expire after a limited window, so each top-up uses fresh pricing and a fresh treasury address confirmation.

Yearly Subscriptions with ACN

ACN is also used for exclusive yearly subscription payments. When upgrading to Plus or Pro, users can choose between monthly card billing and a yearly crypto payment with ACN.

The yearly ACN path is designed as a discounted subscription option. Instead of paying month-to-month through Stripe, users can pay for a full year using ACN and receive a crypto-exclusive discount.

What the Yearly ACN Option Includes

Plus yearly with ACN - Pay for the Plus plan annually using ACN.
Pro yearly with ACN - Pay for the Pro plan annually using ACN.
Discounted yearly pricing - The platform applies a yearly crypto discount to the base annual price.
Wallet credit on activation - Crypto subscribers can receive an initial wallet credit tied to their plan, so they can start using the product after subscribing.

When a user chooses the ACN yearly payment option, Agent Forge creates a crypto payment intent, converts the discounted USD price into ACN, asks the user to confirm the wallet transaction, and verifies the payment on-chain before activating the subscription.

Staking Tiers

ACN staking is the deployment access layer for Agent Forge. Users connect a wallet, stake ACN, and Agent Forge checks the wallet's staking status to determine which deployment capabilities are available.

The final tier names, thresholds, and exact staking requirements are still to be revealed. The core mechanism is:

more staked ACN means more deployment capacity.

In practical terms, staking tiers are intended to control how many agents and workflows a user can deploy, and which deployment features they can access. Higher tiers will unlock more deployment room for production use.

What Staking Unlocks

Staking is being designed around deployment access for:

Workflow deployments - Deploy workflows so they can be used outside the editor.
Agent deployments - Deploy agents as reusable production services.
API deployments - Expose workflows through API endpoints.
Chat deployments - Publish workflows as chat interfaces.
Registry access - Register agents on-chain through the Agent Registry experience.

Current product surfaces already separate deployment access by staking tier. Lower tiers start with core deployment features, while higher tiers expand access and capacity. If staking lapses, Agent Forge can keep a short grace period before deploy features are deactivated.

Tier thresholds and final deployment limits are not final yet. The intended model is simple: stake ACN, unlock a tier, and receive deployment capacity based on that tier.

Why ACN Matters in Agent Forge

ACN gives Agent Forge a native payment and access model for builders who want to operate through crypto instead of only card-based billing. It supports simple usage top-ups, discounted yearly subscriptions, and a staking mechanism that ties deployment access to long-term participation in the ecosystem.

For builders, this means ACN is not just a payment method. It is the token that powers usage, subscriptions, and deployment access across Agent Forge.
