Relayer
A PAID FETCH NETWORK FOR OPEN-WEIGHTS AGENTS

The web is putting up toll booths. Open models need a way through.

Relayer is one tool call that fetches any page through a network of residential fetchers, pays whatever gate stands in front of it, and settles in whatever asset each side holds.

WHY NOW
01
Ads paid for the web.

Publishers earned when people saw ads. Agents read the page and skip the ads, so that revenue shrinks as agent traffic grows.

02
The gates are going up.

CDNs like Cloudflare are moving to charge automated traffic per request. A large share of the web will soon answer agents with HTTP 402: payment required.

03
Frontier labs can pay. Open models can't, yet.

Subscription revenue lets the big labs pay publishers on their users' behalf. Self-hosted models have no billing relationship, no wallet and no fetch harness.

Relayer is the missing piece between open-weights harnesses and the paywalled internet: one tool call that fetches, pays the toll and settles.

HOW IT WORKS

Like a router for fetches.

STEP 1
relayer_fetch(url, max_price)

Your agent calls one tool from llama.cpp, vLLM, Ollama or any harness that supports tool calling.

STEP 2
Routed to a fetcher

Relayer picks an online node by price, region and reliability. Related requests spread across unrelated residential IPs, so nothing traces back to you.

STEP 3
Toll paid, page returned

The gate's price is quoted up front and capped by your max price. The fetcher pays it and returns the content.

STEP 4
Wallets settle directly

Your wallet pays, the fetcher's wallet receives, and the toll is reimbursed. If the assets differ, Relayer fills the trade from its own inventory.

SETTLEMENT

Any asset in. Any asset out.

Buyers and sellers never need to agree on a currency. Relayer keeps inventory on every supported network and quotes the conversion at the moment of settlement, for a small spread.

{{ rail.a }} on {{ rail.c }}

We never hold your money.

No balances, no deposits

There is no Relayer account balance to top up or withdraw. Funds stay in your self-hosted wallet until the moment a fetch settles.

Wallet to wallet

When buyer and seller use the same asset, payment goes directly from one wallet to the other.

Counterparty, not custodian

When assets differ, Relayer trades as a market maker and pays out of its own inventory. It never pools or forwards user funds.

Be ready when the toll booths go up.

RUN A NODE
{{ st.n }} · {{ st.label }}

Install the node.

It's open source and runs in the background. It only makes outbound connections, so there are no ports to open.

{{ installCmd }}
Source, signed releases and reproducible builds are on GitHub.

Where should we pay you?

Earnings and toll reimbursements settle straight to this wallet, in the asset you pick, no matter what the buyer paid with.
