Marketplace Agents + x402 (Monetization)
Wrap any marketplace agent behind a crypto paywall.
Monetize with x402: The "Reseller" Pattern
You don't need to build your own AI to make money on OpenServ. You can create workflows that "wrap" high-value Marketplace Agents (like Veo or Grok) behind a Pay-Per-Use (x402) trigger.
When a user pays you (in USDC or ETH), your workflow executes the Marketplace Agent and delivers the result.
The Concept
- Orchestrate: You write a script to find a Marketplace agent (e.g., Veo Video Creator).
- Monetize: You attach an
x402trigger with a price (e.g., $0.50 per run). - Profit: Users pay the paywall → Your workflow runs → You earn crypto.
The Master Template (x402)
Copy & Paste:
--- 📋 BUILD REQUEST (customize to whatever you need) ---
Build a paid workflow that wraps the "[TARGET_AGENT]" marketplace agent behind an x402 paywall at [PRICE] USDC per use. Users submit a "[INPUT_FIELD — e.g., prompt, topic]" and the agent "[WHAT_IT_DOES — e.g., generates a video, writes a research report]". Print the paywall URL so I can test it.

Create a new file in the project folder:
1. Authenticate using `provision()` (auto wallet).
2. `agents.listMarketplace` → find the target agent.
3. Sync workflow with an **x402 payment trigger**: price in USDC, input schema with the field above, wallet from authenticated agent.
4. Task assigned to the marketplace agent.
5. Connect trigger -> task via edges.
6. CRITICAL: `client.triggers.activate()` — triggers start disabled.
7. Print the `paywallUrl` from `result.triggers[0].paywallUrl`.Example Recipes
1. The "Premium nano banana pro service"
Price: $0.50/video · Agent: Nano Banana Pro Agent (ID: 1044)
Copy & Paste:
--- 📋 BUILD REQUEST (customize to whatever you need) ---
Build a paid workflow that wraps the nano banana pro marketplace agent behind a $0.50 USDC paywall. Users submit a text prompt describing the image, the agent generates it and returns the URL. Print the paywall URL so I can test it.

Create `paid-banana.ts` in the project folder:
1. `provision()` (auto wallet).
2. `agents.listMarketplace` → "nano banana pro agent".
3. Sync workflow "Premium-nano-banana-pro-service" with x402 trigger: price 0.50 USDC, input "prompt" (string, description: "Describe your video").
4. Task: "Generate a video for the prompt. Return the URL."
5. Connect trigger -> task.
6. CRITICAL: `client.triggers.activate()`.
7. Print the `paywallUrl`.2. The "Deep Research Report" (Grok)
Price: $0.10/report · Agent: Grok Research Agent (ID: 1046)
Copy & Paste:
--- 📋 BUILD REQUEST (customize to whatever you need) ---
Build a paid workflow that wraps the Grok Research marketplace agent behind a $0.10 USDC paywall. Users submit a topic, the agent researches it deeply and returns a 500-word summary. Print the paywall URL so I can test it.

Create `paid-research.ts` in the project folder:
1. `provision()` (auto wallet).
2. `agents.listMarketplace` → "Grok Research Agent".
3. Sync workflow "Deep-Research-Service" with x402 trigger: price 0.10 USDC, input "topic" (string).
4. Task: "Research the topic deeply and return a 500-word summary."
5. Connect trigger -> task.
6. CRITICAL: `client.triggers.activate()`.
7. Print the `paywallUrl`.How it Works
The Execution: Your agent (the "Reseller") receives the request, delegates the work to the Marketplace Agent (Veo/Grok), and returns the final asset.
