Pimlico

Pimlico is the world's most popular ERC-4337 account abstraction infrastructure platform, providing production bundler and paymaster APIs plus a platform management API for building, deploying, and operating smart accounts on Ethereum and 100+ EVM-compatible chains. Its verifying paymaster sponsors gas for gasless transactions, its ERC-20 paymaster lets users pay gas in stablecoins and other tokens, and its bundler submits, estimates, and tracks ERC-4337 user operations. Developers integrate through the permissionless.js TypeScript SDK (built on viem) against a single JSON-RPC endpoint keyed by chain, and manage sponsorship policies, API keys, and billing through the Pimlico dashboard.

agent ready

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Pimlico the way a machine reads it — 10 machine-readable artifacts across 2 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Pimlico scores 50.7/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 47/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Pimlico

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Pimlico. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 2

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Pimlico Bundler & Paymaster API

Unified ERC-4337 JSON-RPC endpoint exposing both the Pimlico bundler (eth_sendUserOperation, eth_estimateUserOperationGas, eth_getUserOperationReceipt, pimlico_getUserOperationG...

Pimlico Platform API

REST management API for the Pimlico platform used to create, list, retrieve, and update sponsorship policies that govern which user operations are eligible for gas sponsorship. ...

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.

Security Posture 4

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
