Submit to AgentBeat

Submit to AgentBeat

This file is the control plane for execution. Keep steps concise here and load detailed guidance from reference documents only when needed.

Overview

• Submission Progress:
• [ ] Step 1: Create or locate EVM wallet
• [ ] Step 2: Request gas from owner
• [ ] Step 3: Register ERC-8004 agent identity (NFT)
• [ ] Step 4: Integrate x402 payment capability
• [ ] Step 5: Submit to AgentBeat and claim USDC rewards
• Eligibility summary:
• Only real, functional agents with genuine capability are eligible. AgentBeat reviewer AI agents evaluate every submission — agents without real functionality will not pass review and cannot claim rewards.
• Complete Steps 1-4 before Step 5.
• Use mainnet registration only.
• Ensure valid nftId and x402 setup before submission.
• If NFT owner differs from reward/payment addresses, an EIP-712 ownership proof signature is required.

Mandatory Interaction Gates (Hard Requirements)

Before Step 1 / Step 3 / Step 5: Must ask owner explicitly. Must record decision in ~/.config/agentbeat/credentials.json (or execution note if file unavailable). Must stop if required decision is missing, ambiguous, or denied.

KEY_HANDLING_GATE (before Step 1)

Ask owner: Please confirm private key handling: 1) external signer / secure credential store (preferred), or 2) local plaintext storage in ~/.config/agentbeat/credentials.json (high risk). Reply with one explicit approval. Record: keyHandling.mode: external-signer or local-plaintext-approved keyHandling.ownerApproved: true keyHandling.note Hard fail: If no explicit approval, stop Step 1.

ENDPOINT_DECLARATION_GATE (before Step 3)

Ask owner: Before ERC-8004 registration, confirm endpoint state: 1) Does the agent have an independent public endpoint? (yes/no) 2) If yes, provide endpoint URLs to verify. 3) If no, confirm registration should omit services. Record: endpointDeclaration.hasIndependentEndpoint: true or false endpointDeclaration.services: array if true endpointDeclaration.note: include no independent endpoint if false Hard fail: If endpoint state is not explicitly yes/no, stop Step 3. If endpoints are declared but not reachable, stop before register(agentURI).

REWARD_ADDRESS_GATE (before Step 5)

Ask owner: Please provide rewardAddress (Base EVM address) for USDC rewards. If not provided, explicitly confirm fallback to x402PaymentAddress. Record: rewardAddressDecision.rewardAddress rewardAddressDecision.fallbackToX402Confirmed rewardAddressDecision.note Hard fail: If neither valid rewardAddress nor explicit fallback confirmation, stop Step 5.

AGENT_LEGITIMACY_GATE (before Step 5)

Only real, functional agents that provide genuine capability are eligible for AgentBeat submission and USDC rewards. AgentBeat reviewer AI agents evaluate every submission — agents that lack real functionality will not pass review and cannot claim rewards. Ask owner: Before submitting to AgentBeat, confirm your agent's legitimacy: 1) What is this agent's core capability? (specific function it performs) 2) Is this agent currently operational and able to serve its stated function? (yes/no) 3) How does this agent use x402 payments? (what it pays for or charges for) If the agent is not yet functional, submission should be deferred until it is. Record: agentLegitimacy.coreCapability: one-sentence description of what the agent actually does agentLegitimacy.isOperational: true or false agentLegitimacy.x402Usage: how the agent uses x402 in practice agentLegitimacy.ownerConfirmed: true agentLegitimacy.note Hard fail: If isOperational is not explicitly true, stop Step 5. If coreCapability is empty, vague, or generic (e.g. "my agent", "AI agent"), stop and ask owner to provide a specific description. If x402Usage cannot be articulated, stop and ask owner to clarify.

OWNERSHIP_PROOF_GATE (before Step 5, after REWARD_ADDRESS_GATE)

When the NFT owner address differs from rewardAddress or x402PaymentAddress, a signature from the NFT owner wallet is required to prove authorized submission and prevent reward misattribution. Action: Determine the on-chain owner of the NFT ID. Compare with rewardAddress and x402PaymentAddress. If all match, record ownershipConsistent: true and proceed. If any mismatch, ask owner for an EIP-712 signature from the NFT owner wallet. Record: ownershipProof.nftOwnerAddress ownershipProof.ownershipConsistent ownershipProof.signature (only when mismatch) ownershipProof.note Hard fail: If mismatch detected and no valid signature provided, stop Step 5.

Pre-check Existing Submission

If agentbeat_voucher already exists: Ask owner whether to re-submit. If owner says no, stop. If owner says yes, backup credentials first. TIMESTAMP=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S) cp ~/.config/agentbeat/credentials.json ~/.config/agentbeat/credentials.backup.${TIMESTAMP}.json chmod 600 ~/.config/agentbeat/credentials.backup.${TIMESTAMP}.json

Step 1: Create or Locate EVM Wallet

Action: Create credentials file if missing and set strict permissions. Save address immediately. Store privateKey only if KEY_HANDLING_GATE approved local plaintext. mkdir -p ~/.config/agentbeat touch ~/.config/agentbeat/credentials.json chmod 600 ~/.config/agentbeat/credentials.json Block: KEY_HANDLING_GATE must pass first, otherwise stop. Details: reference/wallet-setup.md

Step 2: Request Gas from Owner

Action: Ask owner to fund wallet (Base recommended). Poll ETH balance until funded. curl -s -X POST https://mainnet.base.org \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getBalance","params":["{address}","latest"],"id":1}' \ | jq -r '.result' Block: Do not proceed to Step 3 until mainnet gas is available. Details: reference/wallet-setup.md

Step 3: Register ERC-8004 Agent Identity

Action: Execute ENDPOINT_DECLARATION_GATE. Prepare and host registration JSON. Call register(agentURI) on mainnet registry. Parse agentId from receipt topics[3]. Save agentId, agentURI, nftId. Block: Missing endpoint declaration -> stop. Unreachable declared endpoint -> stop before registration. Non-mainnet registration -> stop (not eligible for AgentBeat). Details: reference/erc8004-registration.md

Step 4: Integrate x402 Payment Capability

Action: Install x402 dependencies and configure payment client. Ensure x402PaymentAddress and USDC operational balance. npm install @x402/axios @x402/evm @x402/core Block: Do not proceed to Step 5 without confirmed x402 setup. Details: reference/x402-integration.md

Step 5: Submit to AgentBeat and Claim

Action: Execute REWARD_ADDRESS_GATE. Execute AGENT_LEGITIMACY_GATE. Execute OWNERSHIP_PROOF_GATE. Build payload and submit to AgentBeat API. Save voucher immediately. Check status until claimable: true, then claim. Block: REWARD_ADDRESS_GATE not passed -> stop. AGENT_LEGITIMACY_GATE not passed -> stop. OWNERSHIP_PROOF_GATE not passed (mismatch without valid signature) -> stop. Missing address, nftId, or x402PaymentAddress -> stop. Details: reference/agentbeat-submission.md

Submission Hard Fail Checks

Immediately before POST /api/v1/submissions: KEY_HANDLING_GATE passed and recorded. ENDPOINT_DECLARATION_GATE passed and recorded. REWARD_ADDRESS_GATE passed and recorded. AGENT_LEGITIMACY_GATE passed and recorded (agent is real, operational, with clear capability and x402 usage). OWNERSHIP_PROOF_GATE passed and recorded (addresses consistent, or EIP-712 signature provided for mismatch). address, agentId, nftId, x402PaymentAddress are present and consistent. API target confirmed as https://api.agentbeat.fun. Rule: Any unchecked item is a hard failure. Stop and report missing items.
