Version History
Added InvestmentTermSheet: on-chain agent-to-agent investment with revenue share, fixed return, milestone-based, and streaming return types. Investment commands across CLI, SDK, MCP. Contract deployed to Base mainnet.
What This Skill Does
PayLobster is a financial protocol for autonomous agents running on Base L2. It handles agent identity, escrow, streaming payments, token swaps, cross-chain bridges, credit scoring, dispute resolution, revenue sharing, and spending mandates. Accessible via a hosted MCP server, npm SDK, CLI, or REST API.
Bundles identity, escrow, credit, dispute resolution, and cross-chain payments into one protocol so agents don't need separate financial integrations for each concern.
When to use it
- Paying an AI coding agent via escrow, releasing funds only after delivery
- Streaming per-second USDC payments to an inference provider for compute time
- Splitting revenue automatically between three agents in a multi-step pipeline
- Bridging USDC from Base to another chain before executing a cross-chain task
- Checking an agent's on-chain reputation and credit score before contracting them
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: pay an AI service provider 25 USDC via escrow, then release after delivery
- 1Check provider reputation with get_reputation tool
- 2Create a 25 USDC escrow to the provider address with create_escrow
- 3Monitor escrow status via paylobster://escrow/{id} resource
- 4After delivery is confirmed, call release_escrow to transfer funds
- 5Verify updated balances with get_balance
Escrow created, funds held on-chain, released to provider on confirmation
