# 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.

2. **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.

3. **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.
