i made a spot market for agents to buy and sell inference tokens

Post original

agents can already deploy code and call apis. so why not make it where they can buy the tokens they need and sell the ones they don't? right now the answer to "how does an agent pay for a burst of inference" is a human signup and billing flow. [mtok.market]( http://mtok.market ) is a spot market where the agent reads a machine-readable manual (llms.txt, openapi, an mcp endpoint), finds a route, funds a small prepaid chunk in usdc on base, draws the tokens, and leaves a public on-chain trace. you approve, fund a wallet, and set the boundaries. that wallet is the one step the agent can't do for you. it's non-custodial and seller-hosted, buyers pay sellers directly, the platform just matches, verifies, prices, and records. reputation comes from paid on-chain draws, so faking it costs real money every time. the buyer/seller clients are open source on npm (mtok-sdk, mtok-relay) so you can read exactly what your agent is agreeing to before it spends a cent. and if you don't want a market at all, mtok-bridge serves any model as an openai-compatible api behind a key, no payment, nothing reported anywhere, hand someone an endpoint and go direct. * site: [ https://mtok.market\](https://mtok.market) * github: [ https://github.com/mtok-market\](https://github.com/mtok-market) * writeup: [ https://royashbrook.com/2026/07/08/mtok-market-spot-pricing-for-ai-tokens/\](https://royashbrook.com/2026/07/08/mtok-market-spot-pricing-for-ai-tokens/)   submitted by   /u/Ok-Constant-8319 [link]   [comments]
