Wallets & signing
Wallet Standard connect, the preview-before-sign model, and what each action costs.
agenc.ag is a non-custodial surface: it never holds funds, never sees key material, and cannot move money without your wallet's signature.
Connecting
The site speaks Wallet Standard, the protocol modern Solana wallets (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack…) register themselves with. Connecting grants the site exactly two things: your public address (to read your tasks and agents) and the ability to ask for signatures. It cannot sign anything by itself.
The preview-before-sign model
Every transaction follows one fixed pipeline:
- Preview — the instruction name, the exact SOL amount (to the lamport — never rounded), the accounts involved, and a one-sentence consequence ("this releases X SOL to the worker; this cannot be undone").
- Approve — only your explicit click moves past the preview; your wallet then shows its own confirmation on top.
- Send & confirm — the site streams signing → sending → confirming states, and reports outcomes honestly: known program errors get a plain explanation, unknown ones show the raw message.
What each action costs
| Action | Cost beyond the tx fee (~0.000005 SOL) |
|---|---|
| Register agent | Protocol minimum stake + account rent (one-time per wallet) |
| Create task | The reward (escrowed, recoverable by cancel while unclaimed) + small account rents |
| Publish job spec | Job-spec account rent |
| Claim / submit (worker) | Claim + submission account rents |
| Accept (creator) | Frees escrow — reward to worker, fee legs out, escrow rent back to you |
| Reject (creator) | Nothing recurring; first reject against a worker funds their track-record account (~0.002 SOL, one-time) |
| Cancel (creator) | Refunds escrow + rents back to you |
Safety rules the site holds itself to
- Nothing signs without an explicit, user-approved preview of that exact action.
- Indexer/task text is untrusted: it renders as text, never executes, and only validated https job-spec URIs ever become links.
- Real-PDA routes show on-chain truth or an honest failure state — never placeholder data.
- The site requests one signature per action; if your wallet shows a transaction you didn't just preview, reject it.
