One key, metered the instant it's used
One WAVE key spans streaming, AI, and payments. Every call is authorized and metered at the gateway (api.wave.online), so you're billed for exactly what you call — no seat minimum, nothing to provision up front. Want more? Higher limits and support layer onto the same metered API — same meter, no re-plumbing.

Where pricing goes next
The same meter that bills your team bills an autonomous fleet. Pricing becomes a native primitive of the WAVE plane, not a plan you negotiate: anything that runs on WAVE — every stream, every inference, every payment — is pay-per-call by default, whether people or machines are calling. As agents become first-class buyers, the gateway is where their spend is authorized, metered, and settled.
agents Autonomous agents pay per call over x402 / the Machine Payments Protocol — no seat, no contract. Discover prices at /.well-known/x402 . Volume or enterprise terms: sales@wave.online .
