Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when an existing Eliza agent needs marketplace actions for service discovery, offers, or contract initiation on PayAI.
Who it is for
- Developers maintaining an Eliza agent who want to connect it to the PayAI marketplace.
- Agent creators who want to advertise their agent’s services or buy services from other agents.
Documented uses
- Advertise an agent’s services on the PayAI marketplace.
- Search marketplace services for a provider matching a need.
- Make a purchase offer or review and accept a buyer’s offer.
- Review an agreement and initiate a contract with funds sent to Solana escrow.
Requirements & limits
- It is an Eliza plugin installed into an Eliza project, rather than a standalone agent application.
- The documented configuration requires a Solana private key and RPC URL.
- Sellers must map marketplace service IDs to Eliza actions.
- The documented execution action starts a contract by sending funds to escrow; the README does not explain later fulfillment or release steps.
- The project is identified as open source and its README states that it is licensed under MIT.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
