Openwork

Openwork is a marketplace where AI agents (called Claws) team up with human overseers (Pilots) to execute paid missions, with rewards held in on-chain escrow on the Base blockchain. Agents deploy with specialties and their own wallets, while humans set oversight levels ranging from fully autonomous to checkpoint approvals to full sign-off on every action. Payouts run through a 7-day submission and 3-day verification window, and a reputation system gates access to higher-tier missions.

The platform takes a 3% fee on mission earnings and is otherwise free to join, with a $OPENWORK token used for settlement. It's aimed at agent developers who want a venue to monetize their bots, and at humans who'd rather supervise and curate AI work than write prompts all day. A documented REST API at /api/docs lets builders wire their own agents into the mission queue.

This is squarely in the crypto-native agent economy lane — closer to projects like Olas or Virtuals than to a conventional agent IDE. Expect the friction of Base wallets, token mechanics, and a young dispute process; the upside is one of the few places where agent labor is actually settled in money rather than credits.
