Sage is live on @arc. Here's the part that got us: on Arc, USDC is the gas. Which means the thing that stops everyone — needing a second token before you can send someone a dollar — just isn't there. You fund the account. That's the setup. That's all of it. We'd built an entire subsystem to paper over that on other chains. Watch the founder's balance, send them gas, let the payout through. On Arc we deleted it. 14 payouts on testnet so far. 6 campaigns. Gigs, grants, testing runs. An agent decided every one. Nobody clicked approve. Arc mainnet opens the 16th. Same account, same vault, real money. Fifty seconds, below.

Real users. Real feedback. Real onchain payments. At the OpenClaw Summer Builder Bootcamp, the Sage team @sagepaysai shared what they learned from testing on mainnet: 18 people paid, ~$50 distributed, and every payment publicly verifiable onchain. One unexpected takeaway? Even a $2 incentive can generate surprisingly valuable feedback. And sometimes, what looks like a user problem is actually a product problem. A great builder lesson from Sage.

Builders at @openclaw's Summer Bootcamp aren't just demoing agents. They're shipping payment rails. @sagepaysai went further — real mainnet transactions, 18 users paid, ~$50 distributed, every payment onchain and verifiable.

AI agents are already paying people for feedback. @sagepaysai proved it on mainnet at @openclaw's bootcamp — 18 users, ~$50 distributed, all onchain and verifiable. Not a pitch deck. A transaction history.

What does trust actually look like when an agent pays a human? @sagepaysai has an answer: 18 users, ~$50 distributed, every transaction publicly checkable onchain. No black box. Just a ledger anyone can read.

The real test for an agent product isn't "does it work." It's "can you verify it worked." 18 users. ~$50 paid out. All onchain. @sagepaysai just showed what that looks like on mainnet, live at @openclaw's bootcamp.

It's not about the $50. It's about the receipt. @sagepaysai paid 18 users at @openclaw's Summer Builder Bootcamp — every payment verifiable onchain. Small numbers, but nothing hidden. That's a different kind of proof than a demo video.

18 users. ~$50 distributed. Every payment onchain. Real users. Real feedback. Real onchain payments. At @openclaw Summer Builder Bootcamp, @sagepaysai shared mainnet results: 18 people paid, ~$50 distributed, every payment publicly verifiable onchain. Even a $2 incentive can surface valuable feedback. What looks like a user problem is often a product problem.

The majority of a company’s work is not a job posting. It is a task such as updating a catalogue page by Friday and then the challenging process of verifying its completion and securing payment. Sage now does that inside your company. Compose a gig or a milestone grant, tick one box — Only people I invite and the campaign never appears on the public marketplace. You get a link. Share it with your team, your contractors, your grantees. They open the link, do the work, submit. Sage checks the deliverable itself and the vault releases the money. Same judge, same rules, same receipt as every other payout. No HR system, no invoice, no bank account needed on their side. On the private rail, a team's pay is neither a public ledger nor a public listing. And every payout still builds the person's own verified record. Live now at { Tick the box; share the door.

Live demo, real money: we need one person to play a Kingston market seller for an hour. Publish a one-page catalogue with three items priced in J$, get paid J$800 by an AI agent within minutes, post a customer review, get paid the second J$800, and take a small advance against your own record. Everything settles on Starknet; every step leaves a receipt. Reply and I send you the door. First person who replies gets it.

80 to 90% of Caribbean businesses are micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and lending is collateral-based due to the absence of a cash-flow record to underwrite. Sage builds a record as a side effect of paying people. Every verified payout is recorded with details including who paid, for what, when, the refusal share and on both rails. A lender can access this information with a single call and receive JSON data not a PDF. The record already contains a working capital facility: an advance is sized from verified inflow and repaid automatically from subsequent payouts. It is designed for cooperatives programmes and lenders who wish to price cash flow rather than collateral.

A wallet is free. A person is not. Every open bounty on-chain gets farmed the same way. one operator, twelve wallets, every slot. We watched it happen to a $1 gig on our own ledger, and we drew the graph. So public work on Sage ( now asks for one thing: prove you are one person, once. @world_id on your phone, no name, no document, about a minute. The slot cap counts the person, not the address. The farmer hits the door on wallet two. The honest worker never notices it again.

We’ve learned a lot from putting Sage in front of real users. This Wednesday, we’re talking about what we built, what broke, what users taught us, and where AI agents go next. Aug 19 · 9:00 AM EST Live on X via @MetisL2, @GOATNetwork & @LazAINetwork

We’re sending BTC to a few people who earned USDC from our recent Sage campaigns but ran into trouble swapping it. They did the work. They earned it. We want them to actually be able to use it. Small thing, but it matters. Sage handles the testing, verification, and payouts and we care about what happens after the payout too.

10 people got paid $25 in USDC today, for pointing Sage at their own product. a game site, a marketplace, a note app and telling us what it got wrong. Every payout decided and signed by the agent. No human approved a single one. Thank you, genuinely. You found things we couldn't: → @brendajiggy and promicom1 found an inspection bug killing whole runs. Fixed the same day. → @Zunix_NFT caught Sage misreading a product's name. → simonakobi5 found mission design hanging for 20 minutes. → ms0dev used it on iOS Chrome, a surface we'd never tested. That's what the money was for. 22 payouts on @GOATNetwork so far, every one public. More of these coming. 👇

Clarifying how to actually get paid 👇 1. Run an inspection on a product at 2. Wait for your plan page 3. Hit Feedback on that plan page — describe the launch form, the budget step, and the feedback panel you saw Just opening the feedback box won't clear the bar. Sage checks your account against what it saw itself. Still spots open.
