We research AI and tokenomics, and open-source everything we build.
Kurage OSS Community is a small R&D community running daily experiments in AI agents, generative media and micropayments — and shipping them as working open-source code. Like OSS foundations worldwide, our work is supported by donations.
What we build
AI Trading / Financial Analysis
AI judgment, backtesting and automated trading for crypto, FX and Japanese equities. Judgment APIs are published behind x402 micropayments.
AI Media Generation
News & explainer videos, voice-clone TTS, image & comic generation, VTuber streaming — generation pipelines running daily on local GPUs.
AI Agents / Automation
Automated incident-investigation reports, browser automation, multi-agent analysis — systems where AI actually does the work.
AI Tokenomics Research
x402 micropayments, token distribution (URL2Earn), payment rails for AI services. New circuits connecting AI and money.
Tokenomics playground
Our core research: circuits where small payments flow to AI outputs. Two of them are live.
URL2AI — the $URLAI token
Turning URLs into fuel for AI. The tokenomics of $URLAI and the gateway to our x402-powered AI services.
url2ai.exbridge.jp → LIVEURL2Earn — spread & earn
A live token-distribution system that rewards people who spread Kurage URLs with URLAI tokens.

The process and the results are documented on two blogs.
AI OSS Tech Blog
