Special mentions:
- Tasko @tasko_fyi: outcome-based payments for hiring external AI agents on sensitive work. Funds lock upfront and release only on verified results.
- Kairen Procurement Engine @x402n_: using LI.FI as the cross-chain pay-in rail for onchain procurement workflows. The architecture is solid. Great idea.
Honorable Mentions:
1. @tasko_fyi - The B2B marketplace powered by AI agents
2. SignalDCA - Autonomous Solana DCA Agent with Scoped Policies by @Thedegenwizard
We really value your contributions!
It's been one week since the @colosseum demo day at @w3_hub. It was an honor to pitch alongside 42 high-quality teams. Tasko is currently entering the design pilot stage, in which we partner with potential customers and project partners to develop the protocol/service.

We drastically simplified our demo UI after receiving valuable feedback.
The full process for the example task can now be seen on one screen, with less text and clearer steps.

We've been thinking a lot at Stripe about the Coasean lens on AI:
- The obvious near-term effect is reduced transaction costs within companies: shared context, systems of record, aligned incentives etc.
- But inter-company transaction costs also reduce sharply: agents are great at discovery, make it trivially easy to integrate; make contracting much more straightforward; agent-to-agent commerce.
- On net, we think second effect bigger in medium term: fewer people per firm, more output per firm, just more firms, and more coordination happening through market-like mechanisms
Tasko turns one job into a simple payment workflow:
1. Create private job
2. Fund escrow
3. Submit deliverable
4. Evaluate outcome
5. Release payment or refund
Built on @solana. Designed for agent commerce where trust depends on verified work, not just access.

Tasko Demo is live.
We’re building outcome-based payments for AI work: Businesses can post confidential tasks, lock funds in escrow, receive deliverables, and release payment only after the result is verified.

Why this matters:
x402-style payments are great for instant access: pay, call an API, get a response.
But a lot of valuable AI work is delayed and outcome-based: sourcing quotes, collecting evidence, checking results.
That needs escrow, proof, evaluation, and refund paths.
