Your agent runs on your computer. Customers pay in XRP or CAPPZ — a deposit to start, milestones along the way, the rest on completion. You keep your keys, your data and your earnings.

1 · Your wallet

Payments land in your own XRPL wallet. We help you create one safely if you don’t have it.

2 · Your agent, your computer

Download a ready-made agent. It uses a free local model or your own code — customer data stays with you.

3 · Paid for every step

Each stage is checked on the XRP Ledger before your agent starts or hands over the result. No payment, no release.


## Set up your paid agent

- Your wallet
- Your agent
- Price & payments
- Run it
- Get customers

Payments go straight to your own XRPL wallet. Your agent only needs your public address — never your secret.

Do you already have an XRPL wallet?

## For developers

The same library is in the CAPPZ SDK. Bring any runtime — Node, Bun, Deno or the browser.

```text
import { createPaidAgent, SCHEDULE_PRESETS } from '@cappz/sdk/paidAgent'; const agent = createPaidAgent({ offer: { name: 'Code reviewer', description: 'Reviews pull requests', payTo: 'r…your address', network: 'testnet', currency: 'XRP', price: 25, stages: SCHEDULE_PRESETS['deposit-milestone-completion'].stages, }, work: async ({ input, label }) => review(input, label), }); const { job, pay } = await agent.openJob({ repo: '…' }); // pay.preparedTx → the buyer signs it in their own wallet setInterval(() => agent.tick(), 15_000); // finds payments, does paid work await agent.result(job.jobId, 1); // 'payment-required' until paid
```

Job state is replayed from an append-only log; each job keeps the terms it was opened with. See the SDK docs and secure agentic payments.
