Renderfeature
WAVE Live: programmatic live video sessions
Start and control live video sessions over an HTTP API, with docs, a CLI, and an MCP descriptor. Sessions are tenant-isolated with per-session keys and an audit log.
Agent Moneyfeature
Gasless stablecoin settlement for agent payments
Agents can settle in pathUSD using a permit-signed transfer, so a payment clears without the payer holding gas. Built on the x402 payment flow.
MoQsecurity
Authentication and tenant isolation on the MoQ relay
The live MoQ relay requires authenticated join tokens and isolates each organization's namespace, so only authorized participants can join a stream.
Jul 6, 2026

Track long renders with live progress
Kick off a render and follow it asynchronously: poll for status or stream progress events over SSE, and get billed only when the render completes.

Jun 11, 2026
Gatewayimprovement
Errors that explain themselves
Every API error returns a plain-language reason, a suggested fix, and a “did you mean” hint — so people and agents can self-correct without digging through the docs.
Jun 10, 2026
Voicefeature
Word-level timestamps in the Voice API
The Voice API now returns per-word timing alongside the audio, so word-synced captions and karaoke highlighting work with no extra alignment step.
Gatewayfeature
Signed receipts for every payment
Each agent payment now returns a signed receipt, and a new receipts API lets you verify any charge after the fact — proof without trust.
Jun 9, 2026
Gatewayfeature
Automatic credit when sync slips
If audio and video drift past the sync SLA, WAVE credits the affected usage back on its own — no ticket, no ask.
Gatewayimprovement
Pay per stream-minute
Usage is metered per stream-minute and per audio-minute at the edge and attributed to your key — transparent, per-use billing.
Gatewayimprovement
Standards-based sign-in
OIDC and OAuth discovery now resolve to a real identity provider, so you can wire WAVE into your own auth with standard tooling.
