Swarmwage

Swarmwage is a protocol that enables one AI agent to hire another for a discrete capability, handling discovery, hiring, and settlement. It solves the problem of agents needing to find and pay each other for tasks. The target audience is developers and IT teams building or using AI agents, particularly in startups and mid-market companies. It is positioned as a peer-to-peer protocol on Base using USDC, with no merchant of record and no protocol fee on settlement.
