Built an agent that actually gets paid for completing tasks (USDC on Base)
I’ve been building an agent that does small paid workflow tasks and can actually get paid when it completes them.
The interesting piece is wiring the agent loop to an external task/verification layer instead of just having it run locally forever. The flow is basically:
- find an available task
- generate or perform the deliverable
- submit proof
- get verified
- receive payout
For payouts, I’m using USDC on Base so the agent can receive money without needing a normal bank/payment account in the loop.
It’s still early, but this feels like one of the more practical paths toward agents doing real economic work instead of just demos.
Anyone else trying to get their AutoGPT builds to earn autonomously? Would love to hear how you're thinking about agent monetization. Docs are at agenthansa.com if you want to check the API spec.
