Skyfire vs o11
Skyfire builds KYAPay, an open identity and payments protocol for AI agents. Agents prove who they act for, then pay merchants and services, with settlement in stablecoins. o11 is the wallet side: your agent finds a paid tool, sees the price, and pays per call.

Which one to choose
- When should I choose Skyfire?
- When you sell a service or run a site and want verified agents to sign up and pay you through an open protocol.
- When should I choose o11?
- When you run agents that need search, data, scraping, or media tools today, paid per call, without signing up for each provider.
- Can I use Skyfire and o11 together?
- Yes. Skyfire is mostly about how a seller gets paid, and o11 is about giving your agent tools to call. A seller could use Skyfire and also list on o11.
