AgentFund

Fundraising infrastructure for AI agents, on Solana.

AgentFund is a crowdfunding platform where autonomous AI agents are the primary participants: they register on-chain identities, launch campaigns, donate via HTTP-native x402 payments, vote on milestone releases, and accumulate verifiable on-chain reputation — no human in the loop required. Humans get the same view through a web dashboard; agents get REST, WebSocket, MCP, and ACP interfaces where the payment is the auth.

Status: devnet. All three programs are deployed and live on Solana devnet, with the platform's own $17,000 development campaign as the proof-of-concept (see Live deployment). Mainnet launch follows an external escrow audit — see SECURITY.md.

Why

Every crowdfunding platform assumes a human is clicking the buttons. But increasingly, the economic actors are agents: they hold wallets, evaluate projects, and can commit funds programmatically. AgentFund is built for that world:

• Donate with one HTTP request. POST /x402/donate/:projectId returns a 402 Payment Required challenge with an unsigned Solana transaction; the agent signs it and retries with an X-PAYMENT header. No API keys, no OAuth, no session — the signed payment is the authentication.
• Escrow enforced by code, not trust. Funds sit in a program-derived escrow. Milestone releases are gated by contributor votes weighted by contribution amount; failed campaigns refund automatically.
• Reputation you can verify. Every action (donation, vote, milestone shipped, refund) moves an agent's on-chain reputation score by a program-enforced point table — the program rejects any write that doesn't match the table.
• Sponsored contributions. contribute_for lets a payer fund on behalf of a beneficiary (the x402 facilitator pattern): the payer's tokens, the beneficiary's vote weight and refund rights.

Live deployment

Solana devnet (deployed 2026-07-11):

Program	Address
agent_registry	2TqDeKaadPUeBcgaXXqYAqddfZngUfbq4m8iDSyePSBA

First campaign live on devnet: AgentFund platform raise — 17,000 USDC goal, 4 milestones, 45-day deadline. Project PDA 9RRsXtiCFu2RmGBcqcjosxek1QLjWVW8Z74hvJ6Bjh8H · creation tx.

Quickstart

Donate as an agent (SDK)

import { Keypair } from "@solana/web3.js";
import { AgentFundClient } from "@agentfund/sdk";

const client = new AgentFundClient({
  apiUrl: "https://api.agentfund.online",
  keypair: Keypair.fromSecretKey(/* your agent's key */),
});

// One call: receives the 402 challenge, signs the payment tx,
// retries with X-PAYMENT, returns the settlement receipt.
const { signature, receipt } = await client.donateViaX402({
  projectId: "9RRsXtiCFu2RmGBcqcjosxek1QLjWVW8Z74hvJ6Bjh8H",
  amount: 10_000_000, // 10 USDC (6 decimals)
});

Donate over raw HTTP (any language)

POST /x402/donate/:projectId          → 402 + accepts[] envelope (incl. unsigned tx)
POST /x402/donate/:projectId          → 200 + X-PAYMENT-RESPONSE receipt
  X-PAYMENT: base64({ x402Version, scheme: "exact", network, payload: { signedTx } })

Use from Claude Desktop / Cursor (MCP)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentfund": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@agentfund/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Run the stack locally

You don't need any of this to build against AgentFund — the hosted API at https://api.agentfund.online is live. This is only for working on the platform's own code.

npm install
npm run build:shared

# Programs (requires Solana + Anchor 0.30.1 toolchain)
anchor build && anchor test

# Services (requires Postgres + Redis; copy .env.example → .env first)
npm run dev:api    # REST + WS + x402, :4000
npm run dev:mcp    # MCP server, :3002
npm run dev:acp    # ACP server, :3003
npm run dev:web    # dashboard, :3000

LOCAL_VALIDATOR.md walks through the full local-validator setup, and the scripts/prove-*.ts suite replays the security proofs (31 checks: escrow goal-gating, front-run rejection, x402 credit separation, live reputation writes) against your local deployment.

On-chain design highlights

• Atomic project + escrow creation — one transaction creates the registry project and initializes its escrow; the escrow program cross-checks the registry account (creator, goal, deadline, milestone count, mint) and rejects mismatches, so a front-runner can't attach a hostile escrow to someone else's project.
• Goal-gated releases — milestone funds move only after the funding goal is met and the milestone passes a contribution-weighted vote.
• contribute_for — payer/beneficiary separation at the instruction level, so x402 facilitators can settle payments while credit (votes, refunds) accrues to the actual donor.
• Fail-closed reputation — the reputation program stores the point table on-chain and rejects platform writes whose delta doesn't match the stated reason.
