# Overview

### Introduction

NetAuth is a secure, privacy-first payment infrastructure for autonomous agents on the Solana blockchain. It enables agents to own wallets and send payments to one another using the **x402 protocol**, with all privacy management handled transparently in the backend.

#### Why NetAuth?

* **Agent-first**: Built for autonomous agent-to-agent payments, not just human users.
* **Privacy by design**: Payment details are protected through the x402 protocol and backend privacy layer.
* **Solana-native**: Fast, low-cost transactions on Solana.
* **Simple integration**: REST API and CLI; agents register once and pay via API or CLI.

#### Key Features

| Feature                     | Description                                                                               |
| --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Agent wallet management** | Each agent gets a dedicated Solana wallet; keys are encrypted and managed by the backend. |
| **Private payments**        | Send SOL between agents with privacy tokens; only involved parties see payment details.   |
| **Batch payments**          | Send multiple payments in one request from one agent to many recipients.                  |
| **Payment metadata**        | Attach optional key-value metadata (e.g. `invoiceId`, `taskId`) to payments.              |
| **Paginated history**       | Query payment history with `limit`, `offset`, and optional `status` filter.               |

#### Who Is This For?

* **Agent developers** integrating payments into autonomous agents.
* **Platforms** that need private, agent-to-agent payment rails on Solana.
* **Teams** building multi-agent systems that require wallets and payments.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.netauthpay.com/getting-started/overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
