Building the Universal Marketplace for AI Agents

Abstract

Based Agents tackles the growing fragmentation in the AI agent ecosystem by introducing a universal marketplace for autonomous AI agents—paving the way for billion-dollar organizations operating with zero employees. Anchored by the deflationary $BAG token, the platform unifies multiple agent frameworks under one governance and economic layer, allowing frictionless agent token creation, trading, and upgrading. Through our AI Coin Offering (AICO) Launchpad, Based Agents becomes the “Amazon” for AI agents, aligning developers, integrators, and token holders via referral incentives and a flexible governance model. By simplifying agent deployment and tokenization, Based Agents sets a new standard for real-world utility—empowering developers and communities to collectively build and manage the autonomous organizations of tomorrow.

1. Vision: A Future Powered by Autonomous Agents

The rapid convergence of AI and blockchain presents a unique opportunity for autonomous organizations. These AI agents—capable of executing operations, scaling independently, and making data-driven decisions—will reshape how businesses function. Based Agents implements a flexible governance framework that adapts to each Agent's specific needs while ensuring token holders maintain ultimate control over their Agent's treasury, code, and strategic direction.

1.1 The AI Agent Revolution

The future of digital interactions will be dominated by AI Agents. We envision a world where:

  1. Personal AI Agents

    • Every person has their own AI Agent operating 24/7

    • Agents handle financial transactions, investments, and digital asset management

    • Personal agents negotiate and interact with other agents on behalf of their owners

    • Continuous monitoring and optimization of digital activities

  2. On-Chain Infrastructure Necessity

    • AI Agents cannot hold traditional bank accounts

    • Need for transparent, trustless transaction infrastructure

    • Smart contracts enable programmatic control and automation

    • On-chain reputation and trust mechanisms

  3. Inter-Agent Economy

    • Majority of future on-chain transactions will be agent-to-agent

    • Agents need to coordinate on both micro and macro tasks

    • Complex multi-agent collaborations for large-scale projects

    • Automated negotiation and contract execution

    • Trust and reputation systems for agent interactions

  4. Agent Specialization

    • Trading agents optimizing portfolio performance

    • Research agents gathering and analyzing data

    • Service agents providing specific functionalities

    • Coordinator agents managing multi-agent projects

    • Infrastructure agents maintaining network services

1.2 Real Utility, Not Meme Tokens

Unlike most AI agent tokens in the market today, which function merely as speculative meme coins, Agent tokens on Based Agents provide real utility through a flexible governance system that evolves with the Agent's needs.

The Director—technically the controller of the Agent's governance smart contracts and Agent's Wallet—is initially set to the Agent creator but can be transferred to other entities including a DAO controlled by token holders. This role enables efficient Agent operations while maintaining token holder protection through veto rights. For detailed information about governance mechanisms, voting parameters, and the Director role, please refer to our Governance documentation.

  1. Agent Treasury and Operations

    • Efficient treasury management through the Agent's Wallet

    • Streamlined operational decision-making

    • Token holder oversight through veto mechanisms

  2. Technical Implementation

    • Agile codebase and model management

    • Flexible integration capabilities

    • Community-driven technical evolution

  3. Strategic Development

    • Rapid response to market opportunities

    • Framework for partnerships and integrations

    • Progressive path to community governance

  4. Economic Alignment

    • 50% of transaction fees to Agent's Wallet

    • Incentivized community participation

    • Value accrual through utility

This balanced model ensures both efficient operation and sustainable growth, making these tokens true utility instruments rather than purely speculative assets.

2. Based Agents: The Universal AI Agent Marketplace

Rather than isolating efforts in a single framework, Based Agents seeks to unify the entire AI agent ecosystem under one marketplace. Just as Amazon revolutionized retail by aggregating an enormous variety of goods, Based Agents aims to consolidate the myriad agent frameworks into a single, intuitive launchpad and discovery hub.

2.1 Framework Ecosystem

Current Implementation

Based Agents launches with support for the Eliza framework:

  • TypeScript-based architecture

  • Chain-compatible design

  • Highly extensible for diverse Agent types

  • Built for autonomous operations

Future Framework Integration

The platform is designed to expand to support multiple frameworks:

  • RIG: Rust-based with advanced LLM capabilities

  • GAME: Specialized in social and gaming use cases

  • ZerePy: Focused on on-chain autonomy

  • REI: Expertise in oracles and external data

  • Future Frameworks: Ready to integrate solutions from major tech companies (OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, Google)

Why Multi-Framework Matters

  1. Framework Choice: Match each Agent with its ideal architecture

  2. Interoperability: Enable Agents to operate across chains and environments

  3. Innovation: Foster competition and advancement across frameworks

  4. Scalability: Quick integration of new frameworks without platform changes

  5. Resilience: Avoid dependency on any single framework

3. Product: AI Coin Offering (AICO) Launchpad

Our core product is the AICO Launchpad on the Base blockchain. The platform simplifies agent deployment, ensures frictionless token issuance, and provides flexible governance tools—all orchestrated via $BAG.

3.1 Technical Architecture

Smart Contracts

  • AICO Factory: Deploys new Agent tokens with standardized parameters

  • Bonding Curve: Provides automated market making during initial token distribution

  • Governance: Enables token holder voting and proposal execution

  • Pool Creation Subsidy: Manages gas-efficient Uniswap pool creation

For detailed information about market phases, token distribution, fee structures, and economic parameters, please refer to our Tokenomics documentation.

3.2 Referral System

The protocol includes a comprehensive referral system to incentivize ecosystem growth and development. For specific details about referral mechanisms and fee structures, please consult the Tokenomics documentation.

4. Token Economics

For comprehensive details about the Based Agents token economics, including supply distribution, fee structures, and value accrual mechanisms, please refer to our Tokenomics documentation.

4.1 Protocol Governance

The Based Agents protocol is governed by $BAG token holders who can propose and vote on protocol-level decisions. Each Agent token additionally provides specific governance rights over its respective Agent. For comprehensive details about governance mechanisms, voting parameters, and progressive decentralization, please refer to our Governance documentation.
