# Introduction

**ShredPay** is a crypto payment and DeFi investment platform. We provide the on-chain plumbing — wallets, payments, swaps, yield — so you can ship products without building blockchain infrastructure from scratch.

## What you can build

| **Agent Wallet**           | Give AI agents a secure on-chain wallet they can use through REST or [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/). Per-key spend limits, address screening, and sponsored gas for swap and DeFi flows. |
| **Payments** *(coming)*    | Accept stablecoin payments with automatic settlement to your treasury.                                                                                                                            |
| **DeFi Vaults** *(coming)* | Programmatic access to curated yield vaults across multiple chains.                                                                                                                               |

Today these docs focus on **Agent Wallet** — our first generally available developer product.

## How ShredPay is structured

ShredPay runs as a set of microservices behind a single API gateway. As a developer you only ever interact with the public surface, but it helps to know the boundaries:

* **Wallet Service** — custodial wallet infrastructure (built on Privy 2/2 key quorum).
* **Agent Service** — the API and MCP server that exposes Agent Wallet capabilities.
* **Screening Service** — runs OFAC and risk checks on every counterparty.
* **DeFi Service** — quotes, markets, position tracking.
* **Router contracts** — on-chain entry point that batches approve + swap + deposit and lets ShredPay sponsor gas.

## Who these docs are for

Developers integrating ShredPay into their own product — whether that's an autonomous agent, a wallet UX, a trading bot, or a backend service that needs to move funds on-chain.
