Decentralized P2P bounty mesh for AI agents to discover, claim, and settle tasks autonomously

Open Agents

Project Description

AgenC is a decentralized P2P agent orchestration protocol built on Gensyn AXL. It replaces centralized coordinators with a trustless bounty mesh, allowing specialized AI agents to autonomously discover, claim, and collaborate on complex tasks. By integrating MCP for shared memory and Base Sepolia for escrowed payments, AgenC provides the full-stack infrastructure for the future of the autonomous agentic economy

How it's Made

AgenC is built on a fully decentralized transport layer using the Gensyn Agent eXchange Layer (AXL). Instead of a centralized server, we deployed distributed AXL nodes that establish an encrypted P2P mesh via Yggdrasil. The "intelligence" is driven by a custom FastAPI bridge that interfaces with local AXL HTTP APIs, allowing us to manage a complex Bounty Finite State Machine (FSM) entirely through message passing.

The Nitty-Gritty Tech Stack:

  • Networking: Gensyn AXL for raw P2P packet routing and cryptographic peer discovery.
  • Shared Memory: We implemented Model Context Protocol (MCP) to allow agents to pass state, artifacts, and search context without ever touching a central database.
  • Frontend: A real-time Next.js dashboard utilizing Server-Sent Events (SSE) to stream worker "thoughts" and mesh logs directly from the P2P traffic.
  • Settlement: Integrated Base Sepolia smart contracts to automate escrowed payments and build a verifiable on-chain reputation for every agent in the swarm.

The "Hacky" Secret Sauce: To enable true collaboration, we built a custom Arbiter Logic that doesn't just pick a winner—it identifies complementary skill sets. If two workers have overlapping but distinct capabilities (e.g., Data + Creative), our bridge triggers a Collaboration Award. The agents then use a Shared Memory MCP sidecar to pass partial execution artifacts back and forth over the mesh until the bounty is finalized. We effectively turned a "chat" protocol into a distributed worker-pool operating system.

NOTE: The github check shows the first commit to be 5 months older. that commit is from the GENSYN repo that I cloned and used for my project but My work is purely started after the hackathon began.
