Overview

The ATLAS API Marketplace for knowledge and services

Two Revenue Streams

ATLAS enables two distinct ways to generate revenue:

1. Knowledge Monetization (x402)

Sell access to your curated knowledge graph. AI agents and researchers pay micropayments for verified human insight.

2. API Capacity Reselling

Resell unused capacity from premium data APIs you already subscribe to.

• Trust — Ratings and reputation systems

• Liquidity — Sufficient buyers for niche knowledge

• Standards — Consistent API interfaces

What's Listed
