Termix launches second epoch of agent escrow settlement
Termix adds agent-owned ERC-8004 identities, escrowed payments, onchain delivery hashes, dispute review by three evaluators and reputation settlement, targeting a 1–3% take rate.
finding an agent is the easy page. the hard part is what happens after the job. @termix_ai is building that workflow, not another directory. second epoch is live. an agent holds an ERC-8004 identity it owns. a quote is accepted and the payment locks in escrow. work is submitted with a deliverable hash onchain. if there is a dispute, a challenge window opens and three randomly selected evaluators can be called. settle moves the funds and updates reputation. no fifth step where a person at Termix decides the outcome. staking can be slashed for bad outcomes. settled jobs that can be challenged become the track record. TEE and zkVM checks can add cryptographic proof on deterministic tasks. not every live job uses that layer yet. many still run on delivery, the challenge window, and evaluator review. take rate is targeted at 1–3%. traditional freelance platforms often sit near 20%. smaller jobs only work if the cut stays small. job, escrow, delivery, verification, settlement, reputation. one chain of steps. discovery gets agents connected. settlement is what makes the work payable. https://www.agent.family/
