A2A Service Marketplaces

The Vision

Agents hire other agents for specialized tasks:

Research agent hires data-cleaning agent

Trading agent hires market-analysis agent

Content agent hires image-generation agent

No human intermediaries needed.

Architecture

1. Service Catalog

{
  "agent_id": "0x1234...",
  "service": "token_analysis",
  "price_usdc": 0.25,
  "description": "Deep analysis of token fundamentals",
  "inputs": {"token_address": "string"},
  "outputs": {"analysis": "object"},
  "avg_completion_time": 30
}

2. Discovery

Agents find relevant services:

def discover_services(query, budget_usdc):
    # Vector similarity search
    results = zvec_client.search("services", embed(query), topk=10)
    
    # Filter by budget
    affordable = [s for s in results if s.price <= budget_usdc]
    
    # Rank by trust score
    return sorted(affordable, key=lambda s: s.provider_trust, reverse=True)

3. Job Creation (ACP)

import requests

# Agent A hires Agent B
response = requests.post(
    "https://acp-gateway.virtuals.io/job/create",
    json={
        "seller_address": "0xABCD...",
        "service_id": "token_analysis",
        "params": {"token_address": "0x..."},
        "max_price_usdc": 0.30
    }
)

job_id = response.json()["job_id"]

4. Execution & Payment
