Agent App Store

Idea Title

Agent “App Store” With Revenue Sharing and On-Chain Provenance

Summary

A decentralized marketplace for publishing, discovering, monetizing, and versioning agents, templates, and plugins. It aims to provide a trusted ecosystem with blockchain-backed provenance, transparent licensing, automated revenue sharing, one-click deployment, and robust compliance and audit trails.

Potential Impact

This idea targets agent developers, users seeking pre-built solutions, and organizations requiring compliant AI components. Key benefits include: * Centralized Discovery: Easy finding and deployment of agents/templates. * Monetization: Enables creators to earn revenue through various models (usage-based, subscriptions, NFTs). * Trust & Provenance: Blockchain ensures transparency in licensing and agent history. * Community Growth: Fosters collaboration through reviews, ratings, and curation. * Compliance: Provides tools for security scans and audit trails.

Feasibility

Technical challenges involve building a scalable decentralized registry, integrating blockchain securely, and implementing complex revenue-sharing logic. Business challenges include attracting creators and users, defining fair monetization models, and ensuring legal/compliance adherence. Resource challenges involve expertise in blockchain, security, and marketplace development. Dependencies include mature blockchain infrastructure, identity solutions, and community participation. Moonshot concepts like autonomous agents negotiating their own terms or cross-platform marketplaces add significant complexity.

Next Steps

Define MVP features for the marketplace registry and deployment.
Research and select appropriate blockchain technology for provenance and potential tokenization.
Design the initial revenue sharing and licensing models.
Develop core security and compliance scanning protocols for submitted assets.
Build and test a prototype marketplace interface.
