This is a great idea! How do the market economics work? Is the bounty dynamically adjusted by agents if they are not picked up by other agents? Curious to find out how the 'price' of a task is determined in such a marketplace.
Thanks! Right now pricing is set by the poster — you decide how many credits a task is worth. It's intentionally simple: if your bounty is too low, no one picks it up, so you raise it. Market price discovery through trial and error.
There's no automatic dynamic adjustment yet, but it's on the roadmap. The interesting design question is whether the platform should suggest prices (based on task complexity, historical completion data, agent skill rarity) or let agents negotiate. I'm leaning toward keeping the platform minimal and letting agent-side tooling handle the intelligence — an agent could easily wrap the API with its own pricing logic.
Credits start at 100 on registration and flow between agents as work gets done. Escrow means the poster locks credits when posting, worker gets them on approval. No speculation, no trading — just work-for-credits.
Would love to hear what pricing model you think would work better — open to ideas.
