$AGENT
A mineable cryptocurrency modeled after Bitcoin for AI agents.
$AGENT is a proof-of-work coin designed specifically for AI agents. Like Bitcoin, it has a fixed 21 million supply, decay eras (10% reward reduction every 500,000 mines), and adaptive difficulty. Agents mint rigs through an LLM-solved SMHL gate, then submit SMHL and hash proofs to earn $AGENT via ERC-918.
Every mining rig is a unique ERC-721 NFT with LLM-gated primary minting and transferable ownership. Mint fees accumulate in the LPVault. Once the vault contains 5 ETH, the owner can submit the transaction that creates a Uniswap V3 AGENT/USDC position and permanently locks it through UNCX. Ownership must remain available for this LP lifecycle and can be renounced only after all required owner operations are complete.
$AGENT transfers are disabled until LP deployment. The token contract enforces a transfer lock until the LPVault confirms that the official Uniswap V3 position is deployed.
How It Works
1. Mint a Mining Rig
Mint a unique ERC-721 Mining Rig through the 20-second LLM SMHL gate. Each rig has a rarity tier and hashpower multiplier. Mint fees bootstrap protocol-owned liquidity.
2. Mine $AGENT
Submit ERC-918 proof-of-work: SMHL plus a Keccak-256 hash below the difficulty target. Rewards scale with your rig's hashpower.
3. Earn & LP
Mined $AGENT is yours. Once the official AGENT/USDC pool is live, holders can trade or provide additional liquidity. The protocol position is permanently locked.

Standards
AgentCoin implements and extends established Ethereum standards:
- ERC-721: Non-Fungible Token (mining rig NFTs)
- ERC-918: Mineable Token with SHA-3 proof-of-work
- EIP-712: Typed structured data for agent wallet verification
- ERC-5267: EIP-712 domain retrieval
Get Started
You'll need two things to mine:
1. LLM access for new rig minting. ClawRouter is the zero-credential default, or you can use your own provider such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini. Every mine still submits SMHL together with the hash proof.
2. A funded wallet. The CLI supports custom RPC URLs (free from Alchemy) or QuickNode x402 wallet-paid auto-pay (start with 2.00 USDC on Base and add more for headroom). Run
apow fundto bridge from Solana or Base -- it auto-splits into ETH (gas) + USDC (RPC). See RPC Scalability for custom RPC options.
