The open video layer — for humans and AI agents. One API for live and on-demand video across every transport, built so that people and autonomous agents can capture, produce, deliver, and pay for media.

Like Stripe is for payments and Resend is for email — WAVE is for audio and video.

• One API, every transport. WebRTC, SRT, RIST, NDI, OMT, Dante, SMPTE ST 2110, MoQ, RTMP, HLS, DASH — spoken through a single contract instead of a dozen integrations.
• A media engine underneath. The open-core WAVE Media Engine handles clock, integrity, sync, reliability, and metering once; each transport is a thin adapter on top.
• Agent-native commerce. Every capability is machine-discoverable and individually metered, with native HTTP-402 (x402) payment negotiation so agents can transact for media under your governance.
• Edge-native. A hub-and-spoke architecture on the Cloudflare edge, federating to one gateway that enforces auth, scope, entitlement, and metering.

Tools for streams, studio, analytics, billing, and production controls — and every capability is payable over x402, so agents can pay as they go.

• Every transport, one API — WebRTC, SRT, RIST, NDI, OMT, Dante, ST 2110, MoQ, RTMP, HLS, DASH.
• Real-time and on-demand — low-latency live paths plus recording, clips, captions, transcription, search, and more.
• Agent commerce built in — x402 payment negotiation and metered usage on every capability.
• Usage-based pricing — pay for what you use. See pricing.
