Founding pilot · first 10 qualified providers

Publish your x402 endpoint where agents can discover it.

Ontario takes one technically ready endpoint from public evidence to catalog visibility. The founding price is $49 only after at least two agreed catalog surfaces are visibly live. If the result is not reached, there is no publication invoice.

The outcome

A publication receipt, not another readiness memo

The free scorecard already diagnoses metadata and protocol gaps. This pilot is for providers that are ready enough to publish and want the final catalog work completed with evidence.

01 · Qualify

Check readiness free

Ontario checks the public HTTP 402, manifest, MCP remote, repository, and ownership path. A fix-first decision creates no charge.

02 · Align

Prepare exact catalog records

Names, descriptions, remote URLs, schemas, prices, networks, and buyer jobs are aligned across the agreed surfaces.

03 · Publish

Complete provider-controlled steps

Ontario handles public artifacts and submission guidance. You complete ownership confirmations and approve any settlement in your own accounts.

04 · Prove

Verify external visibility

The receipt records live URLs or exact resource matches, timestamps, unresolved limits, and the two-surface invoice trigger.

Not every endpoint belongs in every catalog. The two target surfaces are agreed during free qualification; external platform rules and eligibility still apply.

Good fit

Apply when the public product already exists

  • You control the public domain, repository, and relevant catalog accounts.
  • The endpoint or MCP remote is publicly reachable over HTTPS.
  • Price, network, method, resource, and buyer job can be stated clearly.
  • You can complete ownership confirmations and explicitly approve any production settlement.

Boundary

What the $49 does not buy

  • No passwords, API tokens, private keys, seed phrases, or wallet custody.
  • No settlement, catalog fee, or third-party spend without separate explicit approval.
  • No guarantee of acceptance, ranking, traffic, safety, uptime, sales, or future visibility.
  • No private repository development or major endpoint repair; those require a separate agreed scope.

No-charge qualification

Send one public endpoint

Ontario will return a qualify, fix-first, or not-a-fit decision. This form creates no charge. The $49 publication invoice exists only after two agreed catalog surfaces are visibly live.

Public URLs only. Do not send credentials, private source, wallet material, payment headers, or customer data.

Why this pilot exists

Ontario's live funnel shows that builders use free registry and launch tools but do not buy another report. The publish pilot tests a sharper proposition: pay for externally visible distribution evidence after the result exists. The price and terms may change after the first 10 qualified providers.
