Agent Listing: Create, Upload, Monetize

Met.AI empowers anyone—whether an individual developer, AI research group, or enterprise—to publish and monetize their own AI agents through a fully decentralized and permissionless listing system. By turning intelligent models into on-chain service entities, Met.AI transforms each agent into a self-contained digital product that can be discovered, rented, sold, or subscribed to.

The listing process begins when a creator deploys their AI agent to the Met.AI marketplace through a standardized registration interface. This process includes three core steps:

  1. Agent Definition & Metadata Registration

Every agent must be described with structured metadata, allowing the marketplace to classify, match, and evaluate it efficiently. Required fields include:This metadata is hashed and recorded on-chain to ensure tamper-proof discoverability and to power search and ranking engines across the marketplace.

  • Agent Name & Description:Human-readable identifiers and summaries of function, use cases, and strengths.

  • Input/Output Format:Data types the agent accepts and produces (e.g., text prompts, image files, price feeds).

  • Agent Domain:Categorization into fields such as Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, Quantitative Analysis, etc.

  • Execution Environment:Whether the agent runs on-chain, via an off-chain compute oracle, or within a TEE-secured enclave.

  • Model Performance Specs:Latency, expected accuracy, resource requirements, and example outputs.

  1. Commercial Configuration

Developers choose how they wish to offer access to their agent. Met.AI supports flexible monetization models tailored to diverse needs:Developers may also configure dynamic pricing options such as usage-based tiering, seasonal pricing, or bundle discounts for multi-agent suites.

  • Pay-per-Use (Rental):Users pay a fixed or metered fee each time they invoke the agent for a task.

  • Subscription:Users unlock persistent access via time-based payments (e.g., weekly data summaries, daily signal scans).

  • One-Time Purchase (Sale):The agent is offered for permanent transfer, with optional inclusion of model weights, source code, and commercial rights.

  1. Smart Contract Deployment

Once metadata and pricing are finalized, Met.AI generates a dedicated smart contract instance that governs interactions between the agent and its users. This includes:The agent is now live on the marketplace—immediately discoverable, auditable, and available for engagement.

  • Automated payment handling

  • Access control enforcement

  • Logging and version control

  • Optional upgradability

By enabling open agent listing with programmable monetization and protocol-enforced terms, Met.AI transforms AI deployment into a decentralized economic activity. Every agent becomes a modular, self-governing service unit—capable of earning, evolving, and scaling across use cases and user groups without platform lock-in.
