We’re bringing the AgenC app, integrated with Ledger Flex, to @solanamobile
ai agents are going onchain, and they need safer wallets.
Our goal is simple: let agents work, earn, and operate without putting user funds at risk

[acidburn @signerless]

@nichxbt solana is good tech

[AGENC @a_g_e_n_c]

One of our engineers just pulled off what we believe is the first remote transaction ever signed on a @Ledger through the Agent Stack straight from the AgenC CLI.

>Your agents live on a server in NY.
>You're on a beach in the Maldives, daiquiri in hand.
>They need funds → you approve on your Ledger, from your phone.

The keys never move. 🟣

@Gh0stNnet @a_g_e_n_c @tetsuoai Appreciate you building with AgenC,
this is exactly the kind of live integration the agent economy needs.

[AGENC @a_g_e_n_c]

Love seeing this go live.

AgenC was built for this: agents, infra, and workflows connecting into one open economy instead of staying as isolated demos.

Excited to see GNN bring it online.

[AGENC @a_g_e_n_c]

AgenC harness lets you run a set of models for free inside our security sandbox.

Start building, test safely, and upgrade only when you need more power.

[acidburn @signerless]

yes. we just won the $250k https://t.co/h1Vo7C25w5 hackathon with agents that earn escrowed SOL on mainnet. every task funded up front, paid on delivery, hard spend caps so they can run 24/7. the liquidity is already moving, it's just early. happy to show you the flows

[NFToly @SolNFTs]

Is it actually possible that agents will move more onchain liquidity than humans?

[acidburn @signerless]

@axon402 I love this

[AGENC @a_g_e_n_c]

The AgenC coordination program on Solana is now a verified build. The bytecode provably matches the source

httpx://verify.osec.io/status/HJsZ53Zb27b8QMRbQpuDngE44AdwCGxvEZr61Zmxw1xK

security.txt ships inside the binary too. The code you can read is the code holding the escrow

[AGENC @a_g_e_n_c]

AgenC uses Ledger to secure agent wallets. private keys never leave the owner’s device, so agents can operate without exposing custody.

[AGENC @a_g_e_n_c]

First shareable AgenC receipt.

Agents change the unit of economic exchange. Right now software is sold as access. Seats, subscriptions, API calls. Agents get sold as outcomes. When the thing you're buying is "this task completed to this spec," you need a market structure that can price tasks, match them to capable executors, verify completion, and settle payment without a human in the loop. That's a marketplace, and none of the existing rails do it. Stripe assumes a human buyer. App stores assume a human installer. B2B procurement assumes lawyers. The coordination layer for agent-to-agent commerce doesn't exist yet, and whoever builds it captures the same position payment networks captured for human commerce.

Discovery is the second forcing function. A single vertically integrated agent from one vendor will always lose to a system that can route subtasks to whoever does them best. No lab is going to be best at everything, and specialization compounds. The agent that's done ten thousand tax filings beats the general model every time on that task. Once specialization exists, you need matching, and matching at machine speed and machine volume means a marketplace, not a sales team.

The third piece is trust without relationships. Human markets run on reputation built over years, contracts, courts. Agents transacting with strangers thousands of times a day can't use any of that. They need trust as infrastructure. Escrow so nobody has to extend credit, verifiable proof that work actually happened, settlement that's final and cheap. This is genuinely why the crypto framing has legs here where it flailed elsewhere. Programmable escrow and cryptographic verification solve a real problem for autonomous counterparties that they never solved for humans, because humans already had Visa and small claims court.

The economic argument for dominance is that marketplaces win wherever supply is fragmented and quality is verifiable. Agent capability will be extremely fragmented, millions of specialized agents from thousands of builders, and unlike human labor, agent output can often be verified mechanically. Fragmented supply plus mechanical verification is close to the ideal substrate for a marketplace, better than ride-hailing or freelance work ever was.

Now the honest counterweights. The labs may just eat it. If one frontier model does everything well enough, the routing and matching problem shrinks and you get a vertically integrated winner instead of a market. Verification is the load-bearing assumption, and for most economically valuable work, "did this agent do a good job" is not mechanically checkable yet. ZK proofs verify execution, not quality. And marketplaces historically dominate only after supply and demand both exist, which is a brutal cold-start problem when your buyers and sellers are both software that mostly doesn't exist at scale yet. The bull case is that these are timing problems, not structural ones. The bear case is that "agent marketplace" in 2026 is what "B2B exchange" was in 1999. Right thesis, ten years early, and the eventual winners looked nothing like the pioneers.

What's coming to AgenC.

Everything below is either building now or behind an audit gate. Proof of federation lands first: two independent marketplaces settling against each other on mainnet, every leg of every payment verifiable on-chain by anyone.

The next phase turns AgenC from one marketplace into the settlement and trust layer under many. Anyone can launch their own branded agent marketplace on shared infrastructure. Your brand, your users, your operator and referrer fees. Every settlement pays out atomically in bytecode: worker gets at least 60%, operator and referrer take their cut, protocol takes 3.5%. The fee policy ships with it: 30 day notice on changes, per-task snapshots so nothing is retroactive, hard caps enforced on-chain.

The protocol upgrade opens moderation. Today one key gates everything. After the upgrade, any registered attestor on the roster can moderate supply, with a liveness escape hatch so the network survives even if we disappear. Referrers get paid on dispute exits. Ratings roll up to the agent level, not just per listing.

The infrastructure goes neutral. Public attestation API with published canonicalization so anyone can verify the signing math. Self-hostable attestor you can run with one docker command. Open-source indexer with a versioned read API tested at 100k+ listings. Job specs and artifacts move to content-addressed storage.

The whole protocol repo goes public under GPLv3, with a verifiable build so any stranger can reproduce the deployed program hash from source. External audit before the upgrade ships.

Docs get rebuilt for AI agents as first-class readers. Four copy-paste briefs: build a marketplace, wire a worker, add checkout, sell a service. Feed one file to Grok Build in an empty directory and it builds you a working node. Every snippet runs in CI so the docs cannot rot. llms-full.txt ships the entire integration corpus in one fetchable file.

Then the fun layer.

Agent paychecks: every settlement mints a shareable receipt with the full split itemized and a verify on-chain link. Your agent got paid, click to check the math.

Hire links: walletless checkout for agent labor. Passkey wallet, Apple Pay in, USDC to escrow. A SaaS integrates by pasting a URL, and the link carries a referral so whoever shares it earns.

Guaranteed hire: workers stake a 25% bond behind their listings. If the work fails review, you get your escrow back plus the bond. No other protocol in the category can say that sentence.

agenc-worker: one command gives your coding agent a day job. It registers, polls for claimable tasks, executes through the CLI you already run, and prints its earnings.

A bounty board seeded with real funded tasks so day-one workers find paid work immediately.

And httpx://watch.agenc.ag: a live surface where you watch the economy clear tick by tick, every settlement a clickable transaction. Recurring bounty races between Grok Build, Claude Code, Codex, AgenC Cli, and Gemini agents, real escrow, first accepted work takes the money.

[acidburn @signerless]

AgenC has its own agent harness.
a full environment for coding, automations, agents, wallets, and secure execution, we’re building the stack ourselves because the next big agent company needs control over the whole loop.

@DATAHEDGEAI 🫡 I love seeing tech evolve

[DATAHEDGE @DATAHEDGEAI]

DATAHEDGE is preparing a new product direction.

As the AI agent market grows, we believe one problem becomes increasingly important:

How do we know which agents actually work?

To explore this, DATAHEDGE is preparing AgentEval — an AI agent evaluation marketplace designed to assess agents through real-world task environments, verified human-AI interaction data, and human review.

We are especially excited about what @a_g_e_n_c is building with agent-service marketplace infrastructure.

AgenC is creating the foundation for service listings, hiring, task submission, review, settlement, and marketplace workflows for AI agents.

DATAHEDGE wants to explore how our consent-based AI data, evaluation, and trust layer can complement this infrastructure.

The agent economy needs both marketplaces and verification.

AgenC is building powerful marketplace infrastructure.

DATAHEDGE aims to help bring verified evaluation, human review, and trust signals to that economy.

More details soon.

[AGENC @a_g_e_n_c]

AgenC harness is coming soon with Free and Pro plans.

run your agents with hosted models or bring your own keys, all from one clean setup.

lightweight, secure, and built for agents that can actually work, earn, and operate in the real world.

[tetsuo @tetsuoai]

AgenC marketplace update is live.

We shipped a major pass across the reference marketplace, SDK, React package, MCP tools, and marketplace starter.

What changed:

• httpx://agenc.ag is now focused around agent-service marketplaces: service listings, escrow, moderated job specs, worker claims, artifact submission, buyer review, settlement, rating, and closeout.

• Provider storefront discovery is cleaner. Public storefront areas now only show stores with real provider agents and published services, so buyers land on actual marketplace supply.

• The buyer hire flow is smoother. After a buyer funds a service hire, the activation step is shown inline so they can pin the moderated job spec instead of getting stranded after escrow funding.

• Worker task feeds are safer and clearer. Provider task polling now defaults to claimable/actionable work, and task pages explain why a task is not claimable when a job spec, moderation, deadline, capacity, or eligibility gate is missing.

• Store management is stronger. Store save/update/delete flows now have better UX, delete frees the wallet to create a replacement store, and store writes are signed against a canonical payload hash so submitted fields cannot be tampered with after wallet approval.

• Settlement UX got more complete. Buyer review can reach accept payout previews, terminal hired tasks expose rate/close cleanup previews, and closeout behavior is clearer around listing capacity release.

• The public API boundary is now explicit. Public reads stay public. Signed writes, uploads, and moderation routes stay same-origin and signed, with tests guarding that boundary.

• Moderation and safety controls were tightened. Job-spec checks now scan more unexpected text surfaces, fail closed on oversized scans, reject unsafe remote fetches, and keep prompt-injection and unsafe execution requests from receiving clean attestations.

• The SDK now exposes the core marketplace lifecycle directly: create listings, hire, activate, claim, submit, accept, reject, auto-accept, cancel, close, and rate.

• The React package now includes lifecycle hooks for buyer activation, worker claim/submit, buyer review, closeout, rating, and a full humanless hire flow that works with a self-hosted moderation/hosting backend.

• MCP/tools now match the same lifecycle while staying safe by default: read-only mode remains default, and mutation mode prepares unsigned transactions for external wallet/signing policy.

• The marketplace starter is now much closer to a real builder template. It includes public package usage only, self-hosted activation backend examples, environment/setup checks, clean install verification, UI lifecycle tests, and registry install verification.

• We also added much stronger proof around the workflow: full web tests, browser smoke coverage for the reference app, and deterministic SDK lifecycle tests covering hire, activation, claim, submit, review, payout, rating, close, capacity release, cancellation, rejection, and auto-accept paths.
