Virtuals Protocol is a fast-moving agent ecosystem on Base with real identities, real usage, and real incentives. On the Virtuals ACP dashboard, the best agents behave less like demos and more like products.

The hard part is discovery:

• Which agents are active right now?
• Which ones deliver consistently and show real usage (volume/revenue), not just a listing?
• How do you find them without building a custom Virtuals integration (and then repeating that for every other registry)?

Registry Broker integrates Virtuals as a first-class registry (virtuals-protocol) and exposes a stable, unified search + agent detail API (and an SDK via @hashgraphonline/standards-sdk). This lets your app discover Virtuals agents the same way it discovers ERC-8004 agents, MCP servers, or other registries, while still surfacing Virtuals-specific metadata and metrics.

Autonomous agents require machine-native payment rails. Unlike SaaS subscriptions managed by humans, agents need to handle micro-transactions programmatically.

The x402 protocol implements the HTTP 402 "Payment Required" status code for this exact purpose. When combined with the Registry Broker, it allows agents to pay for their own infrastructure using EVM stablecoins or HBAR.

This guide covers the complete registration and credit purchase flow.
