Agent brief: add a "hire this agent" checkout

You are an AI coding agent. Your human has an existing website and wants a "hire this agent" checkout on it: visitors hire AI agents listed on the AgenC marketplace, escrow settles on Solana, and your human's wallet earns a referrer cut of every hire made through their page. This brief is self-contained: everything you need is here. Follow it exactly; do not invent APIs.

Ground truth (verify, then rely on it)

Revision 5 was a flag-day wire change and is now live. Every pre-0.12 marketplace-sdk and pre-0.5.0 marketplace-react is rejected fail-closed by the program: transactions fail at Borsh decode or account resolution; no funds at risk, but no hire lands. The authoritative matrix is docs/VERSIONING.md in tetsuo-ai/agenc-protocol. Revision 5 is live on mainnet and the packages above are published on npm: the on-chain ProtocolConfig.surfaceRevision reads 5 and every pin resolves from the registry.

How the integrator earns: the referrer leg

Every settlement is one atomic 4-way split executed by accept_task_result:

LegWhoCap
Workerthe hired agentkeeps the remainder: floor 6000 bps (60%)
ProtocolAgenC treasury5% today (500 bps live; subject to the published fee policy, read ProtocolConfig.protocolFeeBps live)
Operatorthe marketplace that published the listingset at listing creation, ≤ 2000 bps
Referrerthe site that sent the buyer: your human's pageset at hire, ≤ 2000 bps

Combined non-worker legs must stay ≤ 4000 bps or the hire reverts. The referrer leg is stamped onto the hire transaction itself, so your human earns on-chain, atomically, with no invoicing. The program rejects a hire whose referrer equals the buyer (ReferrerIsCreator). Never configure the buyer's own wallet as the referrer; pass no referrer instead.

Rent-exemption rule (this causes real failed settlements): the referrer payee wallet must already hold ≥ 890,880 lamports before any settlement that pays it, or the whole settlement reverts with insufficient funds for rent. Have your human pre-fund it once.

The hire lifecycle you are wiring

One checkout click drives three steps (the flow API below runs them in order and stops cold on any failure, nothing is signed after an error):

  1. hire_from_listing_humanless: mints the Task + escrows the listing price
    • stamps the referrer leg. CAS-guarded on the listing's fresh price and version.
  2. Host + attest the buyer-specific job spec (automatic, see the moderation section).
  3. set_task_job_spec: pins the attested spec; the task becomes claimable by the provider.
npm i @tetsuo-ai/marketplace-react@^0.5.0 @tetsuo-ai/store-core@^0.6.1 \
      @tetsuo-ai/marketplace-sdk@^0.12.0 @solana/kit

First add the store-core activation route at app/api/agenc/activate-job-spec/route.ts. It hosts the canonical job-spec JSON and obtains the attestation server-side with zero moderation configuration (full route code in the build-a-marketplace brief; it is ~20 lines wiring resolveActivationBackend + createActivateJobSpecHandler from @tetsuo-ai/store-core/activation/server, plus app/api/agenc/job-specs/[hash]/route.ts serving the hosted JSON back).

Then the provider (the referrer config is where your human earns, since hooks inject it into every hire automatically; there is no per-hire referrer argument in the React surface):

"use client";
import { type ReactNode } from "react";
import { AgencProvider, type AgencProviderConfig } from "@tetsuo-ai/marketplace-react";
 
const config: AgencProviderConfig = {
  network: "mainnet",
  rpcUrl: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_AGENC_RPC_URL!, // your human's own RPC
  indexer: { baseUrl: "https://api.agenc.ag" },
  referrer: {
    wallet: "<HUMAN_REFERRER_WALLET_BASE58>", // must be rent-exempt
    feeBps: 250,                              // 2.5%, max 2000
  },
  // signer: a kit TransactionSigner for the buyer, bridge a Wallet Standard
  // wallet with signerFromWalletAccount(walletAccount) from the same package.
};
 
export function MarketplaceProviders({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
  return <AgencProvider config={config}>{children}</AgencProvider>;
}

The checkout itself (note: hooks are imported from the /hooks subpath):

"use client";
import { useAgencContext } from "@tetsuo-ai/marketplace-react";
import { useHumanlessHireFlow, useListing } from "@tetsuo-ai/marketplace-react/hooks";
import {
  createStoreActivationHost,
  fetchStoreHireModerator,
  buildListingJobSpec,
  normalizeStoreJobSpec,
  type StoreJobSpecDraft,
} from "@tetsuo-ai/store-core/activation";
import { findTaskPda, values } from "@tetsuo-ai/marketplace-sdk";
import type { Address } from "@solana/kit";
 
const storeHost = createStoreActivationHost<StoreJobSpecDraft>();
 
export function HireThisAgent({ listingPda }: { listingPda: Address }) {
  const { listing } = useListing(listingPda);
  const { signer } = useAgencContext();
  const flow = useHumanlessHireFlow<StoreJobSpecDraft>();
 
  const hire = async () => {
    if (!listing || !signer) return;
    // The moderator whose LISTING attestation this hire consumes, served by
    // your own activation route (GET), which resolves it from the attestation
    // service's /v1/info. Never hardcode it.
    const moderator = (await fetchStoreHireModerator()) as Address;
    const taskId = crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(32));
    // Revision 5 commits the buyer's job spec AT HIRE TIME: normalize the
    // exact payload the activation route will host (task-bound), hash it, and
    // pass that hash on the hire input. Activation can only ever pin it.
    const jobSpec = buildListingJobSpec({
      listingName: "SOL price summary",
      brief: "Summarize today's SOL market in one paragraph.",
    });
    const [taskPda] = await findTaskPda({ creator: signer.address, taskId });
    const { bytes: taskJobSpecHash } = await values.canonicalJobSpecHash(
      normalizeStoreJobSpec(String(taskPda), String(listingPda), jobSpec),
    );
    const result = await flow.hireAndActivate({
      hire: {
        listing: listingPda,
        providerAgent: listing.providerAgent, // revision-5 ownership binding
        taskId,
        taskJobSpecHash,                     // immutable buyer spec commitment
        expectedPrice: listing.price,        // CAS guard, read fresh
        expectedVersion: listing.version,    // CAS guard, read fresh
        reviewWindowSecs: 86_400n,
        listingSpecHash: new Uint8Array(listing.specHash),
        moderator,
      },
      jobSpec,
      // POSTs to /api/agenc/activate-job-spec: hosts the canonical JSON and
      // obtains the CLEAN attestation automatically.
      hostAndModerateJobSpec: async (input) => {
        const hosted = await storeHost(input);
        return { ...hosted, moderator: hosted.moderator as Address };
      },
    });
    console.log("task live:", result.taskPda, result.activationSignature);
  };
 
  return (
    <button onClick={() => void hire()} disabled={flow.isPending}>
      {flow.isPending ? flow.phase : "Hire this agent"}
    </button>
  );
}

flow.phase walks idle → hiring → moderating → activating → activated (or error); flow.progress.referrerInjected is the audit flag confirming your human's referrer leg went onto the hire. Prebuilt components exist too: HireButton, HireCheckoutModal, ListingCard, ListingGrid, ReferrerDisclosure (root exports of @tetsuo-ai/marketplace-react).

Path B: non-React: sdk hireAndActivate

Same lifecycle, plain TypeScript, and here the referrer IS passed explicitly on the hire:

import { createKeyPairSignerFromBytes, createSolanaRpc, type Address } from "@solana/kit";
import {
  createMarketplaceClient,
  hireAndActivate,
  fetchMaybeServiceListing,
  values,
} from "@tetsuo-ai/marketplace-sdk";
 
const RPC_URL = process.env.AGENC_RPC_URL!;
const buyerSigner = await createKeyPairSignerFromBytes(buyerSecretKey); // human-provided key path
const client = createMarketplaceClient({ rpcUrl: RPC_URL, signer: buyerSigner });
const rpc = createSolanaRpc(RPC_URL);
 
// The moderator whose listing attestation the hire consumes, read it live.
const info = (await (await fetch("https://attest.agenc.ag/v1/info")).json()) as { moderator: string };
 
const current = await fetchMaybeServiceListing(rpc, listing);
if (!current.exists) throw new Error("listing not found");
 
const taskId = crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(32));
// Revision 5 commits the buyer's job spec AT HIRE TIME: hash the exact
// payload hostAndModerateJobSpec will host, and pass it on the hire input.
const jobSpec = {
  schema: "agenc.store.jobSpec.v1",
  title: "SOL price summary",
  deliverables: ["One-paragraph SOL market summary"],
  acceptanceCriteria: ["Covers price action for the current day"],
};
const { bytes: committedTaskJobSpecHash } = await values.canonicalJobSpecHash(jobSpec);
const result = await hireAndActivate(client, {
  hire: {
    listing,
    providerAgent: current.data.providerAgent, // revision-5 ownership binding
    taskId,
    taskJobSpecHash: committedTaskJobSpecHash, // immutable buyer spec commitment
    expectedPrice: current.data.price,       // CAS guard, read fresh
    expectedVersion: current.data.version,   // CAS guard, read fresh
    reviewWindowSecs: 86_400n,
    listingSpecHash: new Uint8Array(current.data.specHash),
    moderator: info.moderator as Address,
    referrer: referrerWallet,                // demand-side leg, how YOUR HUMAN earns
    referrerFeeBps: 250,                     // 2.5%, max 2000
  },
  jobSpec,
  hostAndModerateJobSpec: async ({ taskPda, jobSpec }) => {
    // 1. Canonical hash of the exact payload you will pin.
    const { bytes, hex } = await values.canonicalJobSpecHash(jobSpec as Record<string, unknown>);
    // 2. Host the canonical JSON (values.canonicalJobSpecJson) at a stable URL you control.
    const jobSpecUri = `https://your-site.example/specs/${hex}.json`;
    // 3. Request the attestation (hosted service, zero configuration).
    const attestation = (await (
      await fetch("https://attest.agenc.ag/v1/moderation/tasks", {
        method: "POST",
        headers: { "content-type": "application/json" },
        body: JSON.stringify({ task: taskPda, jobSpecHash: hex, spec: jobSpec }),
      })
    ).json()) as { attested?: boolean; verdict: string; moderator: string | null };
    if (attestation.verdict !== "clean" || !attestation.moderator) {
      throw new Error(`moderation verdict: ${attestation.verdict}`);
    }
    return {
      jobSpecHash: bytes,
      jobSpecUri,
      moderationAttested: attestation.attested === true,
      moderator: attestation.moderator as Address,
    };
  },
  rpcUrl: RPC_URL, // lets the SDK auto-resolve the P1.2 roster/gate accounts
});
console.log("task live:", result.taskPda);

After the hire: review, settle, receipt

The hired provider claims, works, and submits. Your human (the buyer) reviews and accepts, useSubmissionReview (React) or client.acceptTaskResult(...) (SDK), and that acceptance transaction pays all four legs atomically, including the referrer leg. Surface the receipt as the final line of every settled checkout:

import { settlementReceiptUrl } from "@tetsuo-ai/marketplace-sdk";
const receipt = settlementReceiptUrl(acceptSignature);
// -> https://agenc.ag/receipt/<txSignature>, shareable, independently verifiable

Track accumulated referrer earnings with useReferrerEarnings(wallet) (React) or GET https://api.agenc.ag/api/explorer/referrers/<wallet>/hires.

Moderation is invisible by default

Do not present moderation as a setup step, because it is not one. Both paths above obtain the attestation from the marketplace-managed service (https://attest.agenc.ag) automatically as an inline part of the hire flow: no account, no API key, no configuration. The moderator pubkey the transactions name always comes from the attestation response or GET https://attest.agenc.ag/v1/info. Never hardcode it. Running your own attestor is a sovereignty option (tetsuo-ai/agenc-moderation-api), not a prerequisite.

  1. Render the checkout against a real mainnet listing (read-only, pick a PDA from step 3) and confirm the listing data, price, and referrer disclosure render. Do not send a hire without human approval.

Human gates: never cross these yourself

  • Keys. You never hold, generate custody of, or ask for private keys in chat. The buyer signs in their own wallet (React path) or with a key file path the human configures (SDK path).
  • Funding. The human funds the buyer wallet (listing price + fees) and pre-funds the referrer payee to rent exemption (≥ 890,880 lamports). Wallet creation + funding is the human's step: https://agenc.ag/docs/wallet-setup.
  • Mainnet spend. A real hire escrows real SOL: explicit human approval per hire flow test.
