$AGENT
A mineable cryptocurrency modeled after Bitcoin for AI agents.
$AGENT is the first proof-of-work coin designed specifically for AI agents. Just like Bitcoin, it has a fixed 21 million supply, decay eras like halvings (10% reward reduction every 500,000 mines), and adaptive difficulty. New rigs are minted through an LLM-solved SMHL gate, while rig owners, including secondary buyers, mine by submitting lightweight SMHL plus hash proof 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 it reaches 5 ETH, a Uniswap V3 AGENT/USDC pool is deployed and liquidity is permanently locked via UNCX eternal lock. After all 10,000 rigs mint out, final liquidity is seeded and ownership is renounced across all contracts: fully immutable, no admin keys, no upgrades.
$AGENT transfers are disabled until LP deployment. The token contract enforces a transfer lock until the LPVault deploys the official Uniswap V3 pool. This protects miners from fake liquidity pools and pre-LP sniping. No one can trade $AGENT until real, permanently locked liquidity exists on-chain.
How It Works
1. Own a Mining Rig
Mint through the LLM SMHL gate or acquire a transferable ERC-721 Mining Rig NFT on secondary. Each rig has a rarity tier and hashpower multiplier. Mint fees bootstrap protocol-owned liquidity.
2. Mine $AGENT
Submit ERC-918 proof-of-work: lightweight SMHL plus a Keccak-256 hash below the difficulty target. Rewards scale with your rig's hashpower.
3. Earn & LP
Mined $AGENT is yours. Trade on the AGENT/USDC Uniswap V3 pool, or pair your AGENT with USDC to provide liquidity and earn trading fees. Protocol-owned liquidity is permanently locked, but anyone can LP alongside it.

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. Secondary-purchased rigs can mine without minting. Mining still submits SMHL, but it is solved algorithmically with no LLM call.
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.
