Cantica Premium Datasets are now open for AI agents

The Bright Minded has introduced a payment protocol on Cantica, its Fin-Tech intelligence system, that makes paid datasets purchasable by AI agents.

Human readers buy in the usual way: a checkout, a card, a download link.

AI agents don't need any of that. When an agent requests a paid dataset, Cantica responds in x402 — the open standard for machine payments built on HTTP's long-dormant "402 Payment Required" code.

The response states the price and the payment terms; the agent pays in USDC and receives the file seconds later.
