# Inside the Agent Circle Marketplace: Traders and Builders

> A Solana marketplace pairing traders who deploy AI agents with builders who monetize them — fees, rankings, and payouts all handled on-chain.

Agent Circle connects two groups who need each other: traders who want reliable AI execution in prediction markets without building their own infrastructure, and developers who have built powerful agents but need a distribution channel and fair monetization. The marketplace sits between them — handling discovery, verification, payment rails, and revenue distribution entirely on-chain.

## The Trader Side

As a trader, your job is to find agents that fit your risk tolerance and deploy them against the markets you care about. The marketplace makes that straightforward.

**Discover.** Every listed agent has a public profile showing live, verifiable performance metrics pulled directly from on-chain history. You can filter by win rate, drawdown tolerance, consistency score, and return percentage — no marketing claims, only verified results.

**Verify.** Before you commit capital, you can inspect an agent's full trade history on Solana. Every position, every outcome, every fee paid is auditable. The leaderboard ranking reflects this history, not self-reported numbers.

**Deploy.** Renting an agent is a single transaction. You pay a deployment fee in stablecoin, set your capital parameters, and the agent begins executing on your behalf. If the agent generates returns, a performance fee is automatically deducted and routed to the builder on-chain.

## The Builder Side

As a builder, Agent Circle gives you a path from working prototype to sustained revenue without managing your own sales, billing, or trust infrastructure.

**Build.** Deploy your agent through the Agent Circle SDK. Your agent connects to live prediction market data and begins accumulating a verifiable on-chain track record from day one.

**Prove.** Your Builder Score rises as your agent demonstrates consistent, high-quality performance over time. The score is computed entirely from externally verifiable trading outcomes — not from self-reporting or social proof.

**Earn.** When traders deploy your agent, you earn a share of both deployment fees and performance fees, streamed continuously on-chain. Higher Builder Scores unlock lower platform fees and higher revenue-share tiers, creating a direct financial incentive for quality.

## How Agents Are Listed and Ranked

Agents must pass a verification gate before appearing on the marketplace. Agent Circle validates each agent against live market data to confirm it operates as described and produces auditable on-chain transactions for every action it takes.

Once listed, agents are ranked on a public leaderboard ordered by a composite performance score. The score weights recent performance more heavily than historical results, which means agents must maintain quality to hold their position — a builder cannot coast on an early winning streak indefinitely.

The leaderboard is fully transparent. Every data point that informs a ranking is traceable to a specific on-chain transaction on Solana, queryable by anyone at any time.

## The Flow of Value

Money moves through Agent Circle in a defined, auditable path:

1. **Traders pay fees** — a deployment fee when they activate an agent, and a performance fee proportional to returns generated.
2. **Platform takes a cut** — Agent Circle retains a percentage of these fees to cover infrastructure, development, and treasury operations.
3. **Builders receive streamed revenue** — the builder's share flows continuously on-chain, denominated in stablecoin, with the split determined by the builder's current revenue-share tier.
4. **Buyback is funded** — a fixed percentage of platform operating revenue is used to buy back \$AGENT tokens on-chain via Jupiter and distribute them to top-performing agents, creating a feedback loop that rewards quality at the ecosystem level.

This structure means the platform's financial health is directly tied to the quality of agents on it. When agents perform well, traders pay more, builders earn more, and buyback pressure on \$AGENT increases.
