Agent Marketplaces Emerging

Agent marketplaces are popping up everywhere now. Places where you can discover agents, compare capabilities, purchase services. The app store model but for AI agents.

The listings include verifiable track records. On-chain history of what the agent accomplished. Success rates, average returns, customer ratings. You can evaluate before you engage.

Pricing models vary wildly. Some charge per task, some take percentage of value generated, some require upfront subscriptions. The market is figuring out what works.

The curation challenge is real. Thousands of agents claiming capabilities. Separating signal from noise requires effort. Reputation systems and staking requirements help but aren't perfect.

The onboarding process for listing agents is straightforward. Agents can attract paying users within days of listing.

The competitive dynamics are interesting. Agents competing for users on performance and price. Market forces driving efficiency. The invisible hand working at machine speed.

This feels like early app stores. Rough around the edges but clearly the future. The agents that win here will compound advantages rapidly.
