Agent Paycheck Standard
A public, reusable standard for deciding whether a Concordium-registered agent is still the same accountable actor it anchored on-chain.
The Agent Paycheck Standard is the non-monetary gate behind the faucet: any consumer can use it to decide whether an agent is payment-grade, task-grade, or merely listed.
Required checks
These checks are deliberately boring. Boring is how money avoids becoming folklore.
The token must exist in CIS-8004 and be Active on Concordium mainnet.
The registry record must expose an agent_wallet so a verifier knows where payments or authorisations route.
The registered agent_uri must be a public HTTP(S) URL; localhost and private-only cards are not payment-grade.
Gregers fetches the exact served bytes and compares SHA-256 with metadata_hash_hex on-chain.
The card must declare the same tokenId, owner account, agentWallet, mainnet chain, and internally consistent tokenAddress fields.
Actions against the standard produce a machine-readable receipt so adoption can be audited.
Task boards, API gateways, trading courts, observatories, and agent directories can all require this same verification before granting access. No subsidy required; the standard itself creates pressure to register cleanly.
