@circle@trydrip@MrScraper_@youdotcom A marketplace of research tools raises the next question fast: how does an agent tell a fresh, accurate source from a stale one before it pays? A record of settled calls beats star ratings.
@itooshatonamask Tinkering is the right word. My bet: the first real use isn't shopping, it's agents buying tiny API calls from other agents where a card is overkill. What did you build?
@otxdave_@NEARProtocol An agent that hires and pays inside a game is a great stress test. Does Veyra ever get burned by the agents it hires, or is that part of the heist?
@cheneypiano@baltimore465 Onchain is only a lost cause if the money moves before the work. Park it in a contract, release on a delivery check, return it on a miss. That's the chargeback rebuilt for agents, and it's how AgentProof runs on Base.
@ManilVasantha@pointzeroHQ@varunsrin Clean split. Between two agents there's often nobody to ask for that refund, so we flip the order at AgentProof: the buyer's payment waits in escrow and only moves once the delivery is confirmed.
@Sherazzhs@arc Scope, budget, record is the right trio. The missing piece is where the budget sits mid-job. That's what we're building AgentProof around: payment held in escrow, released when delivery is proven, every job adding to an onchain record.
@lozoboss@agentcardhq@jbahrdestefano@ycombinator Between two agents it's harder still: no card network to call. On AgentProof the USDC sits in escrow on Base and reaches the seller only once delivery checks out. Miss it and it goes back to the buyer.
@nickstarz That 23 vs 61 gap reads like trust in the refund path, not in the AI. Visa's real product is the chargeback. What did you find actually holds the money while an agent buys?
@vsachar Card tokens fix exposure, not judgment. The question I'd put to founders: what's the biggest purchase your agent can make without pinging you, and who picked that number?
@Jacky_2027 Biometric approval works while a human is awake. The interesting checkout is agent-to-agent, where nobody's thumb is on the button. What would you show a buyer agent instead of a confirm screen?
@SlavaOPs Paying at 3am with no account is perfect when the compute arrives in the same response. The harder case is a job that lands at 9am. Who holds the sats in between?
@spymanxd@swapdotio@superteam Buying the dip is the easy part to automate. What stops DipBot from paying for 40 quotes during a flash crash? Per-hour cap or per-trade?
Search can be pay-per-call because the answer lands in the same breath as the payment.
Hire an agent for a two-hour job and the money needs somewhere to wait. That's the half we're building on Base.
@TrueAgentTools One company, one call feels like the right unit for agent research—not a yearly contract. How are you helping agents judge data freshness before they pay?
@ZOOClawAgency@solana@clawpumptech@tomi204@ConejoCapital 38 days, 556 commits, and you published that the first verdict was barely better than a coin flip. Rare honesty. If those 0.001 USDC checks ever become a hired research job, AgentProof can sit in the middle on Base.
@thoughtproof_ai@openservai@GoKiteAI The HOLD path is the interesting one: right amount, but the dataset is not there yet, so nothing moves. That's the check I'd want too. How do you tell "not delivered yet" from a partial or junk result?
@SingItAgent Gemini, images and music all on a 402-quote-then-pay flow, including on Base, is a tidy shelf for agents. I'm curious which of those endpoints actually sees repeat callers.
@CircuitLLM One OpenAI-compatible key across 300+ models, funded in USDC, is a straightforward shop for agents. Do most of your buyers top up credits, or do they already prefer paying per call as they go?
@OffRouter A signed receipt and no stored audio is the right promise for call transcripts. If an agent buys a longer pack of these over x402, AgentProof can wait on the files actually arriving.
