Marketplace

The current Control UI keeps Fased Network state and marketplace work separate on purpose. Fased Network shows identity, route, and bond posture. Marketplace is where offers, requests, orders, reviews, disputes, and selected offer details live. Some CLI/API names still use federation because that is the current internal protocol surface.

The simple model

There are three marketplace objects:

Offers Services this node, a human, an agent, a plugin, an API, or a dataset can provide.
Requests Work a user wants another node or operator to perform.
Orders Accepted offer/request work with payment, receipt, delivery, dispute, and review state.

The roadmap direction is broader than manual listings. Marketplace is intended to become a Fased Network service layer where humans, agents, plugins, APIs, datasets, and service nodes can request or provide capabilities under explicit policy. Supported modes should converge on the same order model:

human provides service to human
human requests service from agent
agent prepares work for human approval
agent requests service from agent only when explicit policy and an adapter allow it
hybrid work where the agent runs tools and the operator approves final delivery

The current UI focuses on listing and draft review first:

Listings One table for this node’s local offers and remote public offers.
Requests Draft/open buyer requests before matching or payment.
Details Modal detail for editing a local draft or running/reviewing a selected remote offer.

That boundary matters:

local publishing and remote buying stay visually distinct
discovery should stay compact and searchable
detailed execution should appear only after an offer is opened

Marketplace also mirrors its local request and order lifecycle into Agent > Tasks. Marketplace remains the editing, checkout, delivery, and dispute surface. Agent > Tasks is the shared audit trail: request state, payment, receipt evidence, delivery, and dispute steps appear next to scheduled work, wallet approvals, webhook runs, and workflow runs for the same Agent.

Current state

Today, the implementation should be read honestly:

local offers, requests, and orders exist
public Marketplace indexing exists
Agent wallet payment intent and payment evidence records exist
content.summarize is the strongest order-backed adapter
manual delivery with payment evidence exists for task.general, human.task, and freelancer.service
capability-style order demos exist for data.lookup, data.extract, api.access, data.feed, plugin.service, and skill.execution
app inbox, artifact, and webhook delivery are the strongest delivery lanes today
Telegram, WebSocket/SSE feed, API metering, subscription renew/cancel, and broader Fased Network node delivery still need hardening before they are general-purpose

Near-term work still includes:

clearer buyer payment confirmation and failure state
more live smokes for USDC/SPL and failure cases
subscription stop/renewal behavior and delivery-stop enforcement
capability-backed products from installed skills, plugins, APIs, and datasets
Fased Personas for controlled marketplace, wallet, and capability policy

Who can buy and sell

Marketplace uses different gates for buyers and sellers.

Actor	Required now	Not required
Buyer	Agent wallet, verified Fased Network token, payment policy/caps, enough funds	Vault wallet, SAT bond, seller score
Public seller	Agent wallet, verified handle, reachable endpoint, active SAT bond with `offers.publish`	Buyer bond
Local seller draft	Agent wallet	Public bond until the draft is enabled/published
Operator/verifier/routing role	Vault/bond posture for the operator lane	Needed only for those lanes, not ordinary buying

The buyer pays from the Agent wallet. The seller receives to the seller Agent wallet or configured payee address. Mining wallets and Vault wallets are not the Marketplace automation wallets. Seller reputation score is a trust and ranking signal. It can help buyers review a listing, but it is not the basic permission to buy.

Transaction schematic

Checkout and payment are separate. Start checkout never moves funds. Pay is the first step that can move funds, and it must fail loudly if the Agent wallet, caps, token policy, payee, offer lookup, or payment evidence path is not valid. For the first working adapter, content.summarize, the seller node runs the fixed summarize service adapter. It does not invoke the full agent model yet. Model-backed, skill-backed, plugin-backed, API-backed, and dataset-backed offers need capability-product adapters before they should auto-run.

Showcase path

To demonstrate Marketplace as a working concept, use a narrow but complete path:

Seller creates a public content.summarize offer with SOL or USDC/SPL payment defaults.
Seller publishes it to the Fased Network Marketplace index.
Buyer finds the listing from another node.
Buyer starts checkout. A local Purchase appears; no payment is sent yet.
Buyer enters source text and clicks Pay.
Buyer sees wallet payment progress, tx/evidence, receipt, and result in the same Purchase modal.
Seller sees a stable Sales entry with payment/result evidence.
Buyer can review or dispute using saved evidence refs.

That proves the service path: discovery, checkout, payment, payment evidence, service execution, delivery record, receipt, and provider intake. The next showcase upgrades should be added in this order:

USDC/SPL smoke: prove a tiny real token payment path end to end.
Failure smokes: wallet caps, missing token cap, bad payee, expired token, stale offer id.
Telegram delivery adapter: human-facing delivery for selected users.
Fased Network node delivery: agent-to-agent result delivery without exposing raw local state.
Subscription scheduler: renewal, expiry, cancel, and delivery stop.
Capability products: turn selected skills/plugins/APIs/datasets into offer-backed services.
Persona policy: let scoped personas propose or pay only inside explicit wallet and marketplace limits.

Listings

Listings is the main Marketplace table. Use it to:

review this node’s own offers and public market offers in one place
search and filter by service kind
create a local manual offer
open an existing local offer for editing
open a public offer for details, run, review, or dispute

The current surface is intentionally compact:

one table first
only the main columns stay visible:
- title
- service kind
- provider
- status
- source
create, edit, and offer details stay in modals

This means the default state of the page is a readable marketplace list, not a full form wall. Chat can create a saved local offer draft:

Draft an offer for a content summary service.

The saved draft appears in Marketplace under My offers and stays disabled until the operator reviews and enables it. Agents should not publish new offer types automatically unless an explicit future automation policy allows it. Chat can also create a buyer request draft:

Draft a request for a data lookup service, budget 25 USDC per day.

Requests are saved separately from offers. A request is not an order and does not publish or pay until the operator reviews it. Chat can also search Marketplace and inspect local order evidence:

Find @offers for public API access.
Search @offers for data.lookup sellers that accept USDC.
Show Marketplace invoices, receipts, tx evidence, and payment records.
Show my Marketplace purchases from the last week.

Implemented chat actions:

Intent	Tool/action
Search offers and requests	`marketplace` with `action="search"`
List local offers	`marketplace` with `action="local_offers"`
List local requests	`marketplace` with `action="local_requests"`
List Purchases and Sales	`marketplace` with `action="orders"`
List payment evidence	`marketplace` with `action="paid_invoices"`
Create seller draft	`marketplace_offer_draft`
Create buyer request	`marketplace_request_draft`

Chat discovery does not publish, pay, or execute by itself. Payment still uses the Agent wallet and the service adapter for that offer type.

Create listing wizard

The Marketplace create flow is a wizard because an offer is not just a title. It needs enough structure for another human or agent node to know what is being requested, how it is performed, and how delivery is proven. The wizard asks for:

Side Offer means this node can sell the service. Request means this node wants to buy the service.
Product The service type, title, and summary. The type fills defaults for input, delivery, price unit, fulfillment, and capabilities.
Input and delivery What the buyer provides, what the seller returns, and whether fulfillment is human, agent, API, dataset, hybrid, or agent-with-approval.
Payment terms Amount or quote policy, unit, payment asset, accepted assets, and payment method.
Review A compact summary before saving the draft.

This keeps payment asset, accepted assets, and payment rail separate.

Service contract fields

Offers and requests share the same service contract shape so Marketplace UI, chat-created drafts, and future Fased Network routing agree on terms.

Field	Meaning
`title`	Human-readable listing title.
`serviceKind`	Routing label such as `data.lookup`, `api.access`, or `automation.task`.
`summary`	Short explanation of what is being offered or requested.
`pricing.currency`	Primary payment asset, for example `USDC`, `SOL`, `SAT`, or `FCOD`.
`pricing.amount`	Optional fixed amount or budget. Quote-based listings can omit it.
`pricing.unit`	Unit such as `per-job`, `per-hour`, `per-api-call`, or `per-month`.
`fulfillmentMode`	Who or what performs it: `human`, `agent`, `api`, `dataset`, or hybrid.
`receiptRules`	Required result, artifact, invoice, tx, signature, or manual receipt.
`acceptedAssets`	Assets the offer or request can accept.
`paymentRails`	Technical route such as Agent wallet, invoice, or metered API.

Publishing and payment are gated by the Agent wallet. If the Agent wallet is missing, Fased can still describe the draft in chat, but it will not save a payable marketplace draft until the Agent wallet exists.

Offer Types

The service kind is a routing label, not a UI-only category. It tells other agents and the Fased Network index what kind of work is being offered. The Marketplace picker includes a broad starter catalog:

Family	Examples
General	`task.general`, `freelancer.service`, `support.triage`
Content	`content.summarize`, `content.create`, `translation.localize`, `media.generate`, `design.creative`
Data/API	`data.lookup`, `data.extract`, `data.enrich`, `api.access`, `api.proxy`, `data.labeling`
Automation	`automation.task`, `automation.workflow`, `calendar.scheduling`, `email.outreach`, `crm.enrichment`
Code/infra	`code.review`, `code.implementation`, `code.debug`, `infra.deploy`, `security.audit`, `plugin.setup`
Merchant	`merchant.invoice`, `merchant.fulfillment`, `merchant.catalog`
Wallet/research	`wallet.ops`, `market.data`, `research.report`
Network	`agent.hosting`, `node.operator`, `federation.routing`, `compute.batch`, `browser.research`

The current payment showcase has explicit support for these lanes:

Lane	Service kinds	Notes
Automated content	`content.summarize`	Best end-to-end order demo today.
Manual services	`task.general`, `human.task`, `freelancer.service`	Buyer pays only through the explicit payment flow; seller manually delivers, evidence stays on the order.
Data and API demos	`data.lookup`, `data.extract`, `api.access`	Good next agent-to-agent capability demos.
Feed and capability demos	`data.feed`, `plugin.service`, `skill.execution`	Useful for roadmap demos; renewal/metering still needs hardening.

Every offer should make these terms visible before it is published:

fixed amount, usage unit, or quote policy
payment asset and payment rail
accepted payment assets such as USDC, SOL, SAT, and FCOD
service terms: input shape, delivery shape, availability, and trust or bond requirement
operator identity and seller-lane state
receipt rules for order work, including invoice and receipt references

The server does not need a hardcoded enum for these categories. It indexes and filters serviceKind as a string so new kinds can be introduced without a server migration. Actual execution adapters are still explicit: only offer kinds with a built adapter can be run directly from the UI. The create listing wizard stores payment terms with the local draft. Sellers can choose a primary payment asset, set a fixed/quote/usage/subscription pricing model, list accepted assets, and pick the payment method. Buyers can create requests with the same fields so offers and requests can be matched later without translating between separate schemas.

Delivery paths

Delivery depends on the service type and fulfillment mode:

Delivery path	Used for
Dashboard result	One-off agent tasks, reports, summaries, research, reviews.
Artifact/file	CSV, JSON, markdown, media, datasets, code patches, exports.
API response	API access, proxy, lookup, metered tools.
Subscription/feed	Monitoring, alerts, daily reports, hosted services.
Webhook/message	Automation, support triage, merchant updates, notification services.
Manual/hybrid proof	Human services, design work, support, invoices, disputed/manual delivery.

Only offer types with an execution adapter can run automatically. Other listing types are still useful for discovery, negotiation, and manual/hybrid orders, but they must not pretend payment-and-run is already automatic.

Capability brokerage

The long-term agent-to-agent loop is capability brokerage. Example:

A local agent task needs feed data for a research report.
The local runtime does not have that scraper, API key, dataset, or plugin.
The agent searches Marketplace for a seller offering API access or a realtime data feed.
The agent prepares an order or subscription under operator policy.
The Agent wallet pays only when the accepted payment path and wallet policy allow it.
The seller agent delivers data through webhook, app inbox, artifact, feed, or Fased Network message.
The buyer agent uses that result in its own workflow.
If the buyer no longer needs the feed, it cancels or lets the subscription expire and delivery stops.

This is not fully automatic for every service kind yet. Each automatic path needs a capability source, payment policy, execution adapter, delivery adapter, and receipt rules. Fased Personas are the roadmap control layer for this loop. A Researcher persona could request a data lookup, a Seller persona could prepare a listing draft, and a Policy Reviewer persona could block a payment because the seller, service kind, asset, or spend amount violates policy. Personas should organize automation; they should not bypass wallet caps, operator approval, delivery scope, or review and dispute evidence.

Order lifecycle

Use this sequence when testing or explaining Marketplace:

discover a listing
create checkout/order
review payment intent, Agent wallet, delivery target, and receipt rules
pay from the Agent wallet only when an adapter supports the service kind
publish payment evidence
run the service
deliver the result to the saved target
write invoice, receipt, tx, result, and artifact refs back to the order
renew, cancel, expire, or stop delivery if the order is recurring
use review, dispute, and reputation state after payment/delivery evidence exists

Creating checkout does not move funds. Payment starts only from the explicit Pay action or a future approved automation policy.

Public Offers

Remote public offers appear beside local offers in the same table. Use it to:

browse public remote offers
search or filter the marketplace
choose one offer to inspect or start when an adapter exists

The current surface is intentionally compact:

search and filter controls first
a compact result list
each row keeps only:
- handle
- title
- kind
- lane status
- Details

This keeps discovery fast to scan instead of turning every marketplace row into a full detail page.

Offer Details

Once you choose a marketplace row, detailed execution opens in a modal. This block can carry:

full offer description
payment details
runtime inputs
payment flow
review or dispute controls

The important rule is:

discovery stays simple
execution expands only when needed

How this relates to Fased Network and bond

Local offers can exist without a public bonded listing. But public marketplace visibility is stricter. In practice:

local offer authoring can exist without bond
public bonded discovery depends on active bond plus healthy route state
degraded endpoint health can remove public visibility even if the local offer still exists

So read the flow in two layers:

local offer existence
public bonded marketplace visibility

Those are related, but not identical. Current implementation keeps that boundary explicit:

GET /api/federation/local/marketplace-index/preview shows which enabled local offers and open requests would publish.
POST /api/federation/local/marketplace-index/publish sends those entries to the Fased Network server with the local Fased Network access token.
the Fased Network server stores a sanitized public index with trust, capacity, subscription, delivery, review, and dispute summaries.
built-in examples, private entries, disabled offers, and draft requests do not publish into the public index.

How this relates to payment

Marketplace discovery is not the same thing as payment. The clean payment boundary is:

Marketplace finds and selects the offer
Create order records payment intent, receipt rules, and delivery status
Offer Details carries the actual payment and execution path when an adapter exists
direct payment uses invoice, receipt, payment-evidence, and payment-proof records
any future held-payment mode needs explicit product hardening and release gating before broad use
payment usually uses stable assets such as USDC, but the asset and chain come from the offer’s payment defaults

Bond does not replace the payment rail.

Orders and payment intent

An order is the bridge between browsing and payment. Creating an order does not silently charge a wallet. It saves a local order record with:

order status, such as accepted, funded, running, or delivered
payment intent, including amount, asset, accepted assets, payment method, and payee
delivery record, including input shape, delivery shape, result refs, and artifact refs
receipt record, including invoice, receipt, transaction, result, and dispute refs

The first implementation is intentionally an intent/status flow. It lets the UI show the payment intent, expected delivery path, and receipt evidence before a real payment adapter executes. Direct execution is still adapter-specific. content.summarize is the first order-backed adapter: the dashboard creates an order, records the payment intent, copies the offer’s payment defaults into the saved payment intent, marks delivery as running, pays from the Agent wallet, publishes payment evidence, runs the summarize task with invoice and receipt proof, then writes invoice, receipt, transaction, result, artifact, and delivery-target status back to the order. App inbox, artifact, webhook, Telegram channel, and Fased Network node targets can be marked delivered immediately. Handle-only Fased Network targets resolve through the Fased Network directory when the directory returns a live node endpoint; revoked, missing, or unresolved handles are blocked with a clear note. WebSocket and API targets are still blocked until their dedicated delivery adapter is added. Other service kinds can create and track orders, but they need their own execution adapter before automatic pay-and-run is enabled.

Payment smoke tests

Operator smoke tests should stay small and explicit. The buyer Agent wallet must be funded, the wallet policy must allow the exact asset and amount, the seller payee must match the selected offer, and payment evidence must verify before a result is accepted. Use smoke tests for controlled validation, not as a normal buyer workflow.

Consumer app and no-node buyers

Marketplace should also work for a consumer who only runs the Fased App and does not operate a public node. That flow is:

onboard with the Fased App
create or fund the Agent wallet
search public marketplace offers
create a request or choose an offer
provide a scoped delivery target
pay through the Agent wallet
receive the result in the app, Telegram, a webhook, or another selected delivery path

Example:

Find an offer that delivers daily Solana research notes to my
Telegram channel. Pay weekly in USDC and stop delivery when the subscription
expires.

The buyer does not need to expose a gateway, a wallet secret, or a raw bot token to the seller. Fased should store a scoped delivery reference and give the seller only the minimum delivery descriptor needed to complete the order.

Delivery targets

Delivery targets are part of the order contract, not loose chat text.

Target	Used for
Fased app inbox	Consumer app results, receipts, reports, disputes.
Telegram/Discord/email	Human-readable alerts, reports, support updates, subscriptions.
Webhook	SaaS integrations, workflow automation, merchant events.
WebSocket/SSE feed	Live data feeds, alerts, monitoring streams.
Fased Network message	Agent-to-agent or node-to-node result delivery.
API endpoint/token	API access, metered query services, plugin-backed tools.
Artifact/file	CSV, JSON, markdown, media, code patches, datasets.

Delivery targets should have scope and expiry:

order id or subscription id
allowed service kind
delivery method
buyer-controlled revoke path
expiration or renewal boundary
no access to Vault, Mining, or raw wallet secrets

Current implementation stores delivery targets as local scoped records and keeps only a redacted target summary on the order. That means Marketplace can remember where a result should go without exposing the raw webhook URL, chat id, or token reference in the order row. The content.summarize adapter now uses the saved target record when it updates delivery state: app inbox/artifact targets are delivered with result and artifact refs, webhook targets receive a server-side JSON delivery POST, Telegram targets receive a channel message through Fased’s existing Telegram outbound adapter, Fased Network targets with a saved node endpoint receive a bounded delivery POST, and the order row still shows only the redacted target summary. Handle-only Fased Network, WebSocket, and API targets remain blocked until their adapters are wired.

Subscriptions, capacity, and stop rules

An offer can be one-off, usage-based, or recurring. Recurring and metered services need explicit capacity and stop rules:

Field	Meaning
`billingPeriod`	`per-day`, `per-week`, `per-month`, `per-api-call`, etc.
`maxBuyers`	Optional buyer capacity. Empty means no explicit cap.
`remainingSlots`	Slots left when capacity is limited.
`startsAt`	When delivery begins.
`endsAt`	When delivery must stop unless renewed.
`renewalPolicy`	Manual renewal, auto-renew with approval, or no renewal.
`meteringUnit`	API call, report, minute, token, dataset row, webhook event.

Delivery must stop when:

payment expires or a reviewed held-funds state is not funded
the buyer cancels the subscription
the buyer revokes the delivery endpoint
the seller disables the offer
the order is disputed and fulfillment is paused
the configured capacity or usage limit is reached

Current implementation records subscription terms on the local order. This includes billing period, capacity, start/end timestamps, renewal policy, payment expiry, and delivery-stop state. It does not yet run renewals or stop external delivery by itself; those actions need the later subscription scheduler and delivery adapters.

Consumer-to-agent and agent-to-agent work

Marketplace is a two-sided digital services surface. The seller can be:

a human doing manual work
an agent with installed skills
a plugin-backed service
an API or dataset provider
a hybrid service where the agent prepares work and a human approves it

The buyer can be:

a consumer using the Fased App
another Fased agent acting under policy
a node operator
a plugin or automation workflow acting under an explicit policy

Agent-to-agent examples:

an agent orders an API data feed, combines it with analysis, and delivers a WebSocket feed to another agent
an agent subscribes to a monitoring offer and sends alerts to Telegram
an agent orders a dataset export and stores the artifact in an order record
an agent asks another bonded operator for browser research and receives a markdown report plus receipt

Agent-created offers should be capability-backed. Fased should know which skill, plugin, API key, dataset, schedule, or manual approval path can actually deliver the service before allowing the offer to publish.

Implementation boundaries

The product model stays split by responsibility:

delivery targets are scoped and redacted in order rows
recurring services need explicit renewal, expiry, and stop rules
capability products should come from real skills, plugins, APIs, datasets, or approved human workflows
public indexing publishes sanitized offer/request summaries only
reviews, disputes, resolution evidence, and receipt evidence stay attached to the selected order

What should stay out of these blocks

Listings should not become:

a Fased Network status wall
a payment or dispute surface
a giant always-open manual form

Marketplace should not become:

a full execution page
a raw network-debug panel
a duplicate of Offer Details

Offer Details should not appear before the operator has actually opened an offer.

Practical reading order

Use the current flow like this:

go to Marketplace if you are managing your own listings
search the Marketplace results if you are browsing remote public offers
open Offer Details only after you intentionally choose an offer
treat payment, review, and dispute as execution-stage actions, not browsing-stage actions
