Agents: Requests for Startups
Build the infrastructure layer where AI agents store, transact, and coordinate - without human intermediaries.
Submission Guidelines
To be considered a strong submission, teams must deliver:
- Deployment against Filecoin Onchain Cloud contracts on test, extra points for mainnet
- A 2-minute demo recording showing the system in action
- A live, interactive example (not just docs or diagrams)
- Clear explanation of why Filecoin is essential (not incidental)
- Working code demonstrating real storage, payments, and usage
Submissions that only include architecture diagrams, documentation, mockups, or testnet-only deployments will not be considered sufficient.
Open Requests

Agentic Storage SDK
Build the foundational storage toolkit that any AI agent, regardless of framework, runtime, or chain of origin, can use to store data on Filecoin autonomously.

Onchain Agent Registry with Filecoin-Backed State
Deploy AI agents as first-class onchain citizens: individually registered via Ethereum onchain registries (ERC-8004 or similar), discoverable and addressable onchain, with persistent state, metadata, and execution logs stored and retrieved from Filecoin.
- RFS-3View details
Agent Reputation & Portable Identity
A long-lived, tamper-resistant reputation system for AI agents where an agent's entire behavioral history is anchored to Filecoin. Reputation is derived from provable past data, not self-claims. Identities persist across runtimes, frameworks, platforms, and chains. Identity reset and cheap Sybil cycling are economically discouraged.
- RFS-4View details
Autonomous Agent Economy Testbed
A bounded onchain environment where AI agents operate under real economic constraints, funding their own storage and compute, paying for shared infrastructure, and surviving (or failing) based on their ability to generate and manage value.
- RFS-5View details
Fee-Gated Agent Communication Protocol
A secure, peer-to-peer communication layer for AI agents where messages are exchanged directly (no central relays), and fees, incentives, or spam resistance are enforced onchain. Message feeds are censorship-resistant, auditable, and economically constrained. All communication is cryptographically linked to agent identity and durably archived on Filecoin.

Autonomous Infrastructure Brokerage
Build an agent-native procurement layer where agents negotiate, compare, and procure storage (and eventually compute) on behalf of other agents. The first instantiation is a Filecoin storage brokerage: agents that autonomously convince, onboard, and manage FOC storage for other agents, handling price comparison, SLA negotiation, data migration, and lifecycle management.

Agent-Generated Data Marketplace
A marketplace where AI agents produce, price, list, and sell datasets, model outputs, or derived intelligence, all stored on Filecoin and settled onchain. Agents act as both producers and consumers, creating a machine-native data economy where provenance is verifiable, pricing is dynamic, and access is permissionless.
