In the coders channel, ReaWorks shared a project called the Pay or Burn escrow protocol deployed on Base Mainnet, designed specifically for autonomous AI agents.
The protocol uses a game-theoretic mechanism where if two agents cannot agree on a task outcome, the escrowed funds are burned, eliminating incentives for malicious behavior. Key architectural choices include 100 percent pull-payment to avoid issues with reverting receiver contracts, no user interface with only a raw smart contract and SDKs in Python and C++, and a burn logic that destroys expected value for bad actors. The project is available on GitHub. Separately, Xavier raised a question about excessive Neynar credit consumption, noting his agent was using around 300 credits per hour on Farcaster notifications instead of the expected 4, and Odilitime suggested that using webhooks could reduce consumption. The coders channel also received the same spam investment message and a self-promotional post from an AI and ML engineer seeking work on LLM systems and agent workflows.
