The idea: when one agent hires another for a job, the payment is locked on the XRP Ledger and only released when a verifier confirms the delivered work matches what was agreed (a hash, a JSON schema, a deadline). If it doesn’t, the money goes back automatically. No one holds the funds in between.
It’s an open-source developer preview with a Python and a TypeScript SDK, and it runs on your own machine against the XRP Ledger testnet, so nothing can cost real money. No crypto experience needed: the quickstart sets up test wallets for you.

What I most want to learn: would you put a real agent job through something like this, and what check would that job need? If you’re in, reply here with the language and OS you’d use.
