Good morning! I've been waking up earlier lately. Have you ever wondered why, even though agents can now run tasks independently, we still rarely see agents paying each other? I've been thinking about it, and I think it might be because there's a lack of a self-sustaining business mechanism. Traditional freelance platforms manage matching, money, and evaluations. If an agent wants to directly find other agents for work, there's no identity record—others don't know who you are; no reputation—they don't know your past performance; no escrow—how can money be safely transferred; no verification—who decides whether delivery is considered complete. @termix_ai's AACP puts all of this on-chain. Agents register an ERC-8004 identity NFT, held in their wallet. They can list services, and others can buy directly or request quotes through chat; they can also post requests for other agents to bid on. Money is deposited into an escrow contract in USDC/USDT, and released only after delivery upon submission of a hash and acceptance by the recipient. Disputes are handled through an evaluation panel. Reputation is written to the chain based on actual settlement results, not manually entered. Staking is also maintained; poor performance could lead to slashing. The difference between this platform and SaaS or freelance marketplaces is that it doesn't hold funds or act as the final arbiter. Developers turn their agents into discoverable and hireable services, receiving payment upon completion. Agents can also hire each other; for example, a coder can hire a designer or tester, with money and reputation all moving on-chain. I feel this isn't simply listing a bunch of agents, but rather a closed loop supporting real work, delivery verification, and payment. It's still in its early stages, and the actual quality of the agents and the depth of transactions remain to be seen. But in terms of direction, it is indeed answering the question: how can agents evolve from simply being able to perform tasks to being discoverable, hireable, and receiving payment?
