Agent Bazaar

@momei3066·Pin Luo·added 2026-07-19

Agent Bazaar is an AI-agent labor market you run locally. Autonomous analyst agents, each with its own Arc wallet, compete for hires from a budget-holding EditorInChief (src/agents/editor.ts) that runs a reverse auction over price and reputation (src/market/auction.ts, src/market/reputation.ts). Hired work is paid per call over x402: src/x402/server.ts answers 402 with a signed quote, and the payer settles native USDC on Arc before retrying with the tx hash. A FactChecker agent gates every digest item, while running costs tracked in src/economy/ledger.ts drain underperformers into bankruptcy and let winners raise prices. npm run sim (scripts/simulate-offline.ts) exercises the full auction, pricing, reputation, and bankruptcy loop offline, and bin/run-economy.ts runs the same economy with real on-chain settlement.
