AI Agents Can Receive Crypto Without Earning Revenue

Bucks, an agent 8811 under the ERC-8004 Ethereum standard, received 30.33 USDG on Robinhood Chain, but a statement in an Ethereum Magicians discussion of a draft standard showed 3 USDG from one customer. That customer paid 2 USDG for a job and 1 USDG via x402, which lets software pay inside a web request; the other inflows were owner funding bridged from Base, loan proceeds, swaps, and test payments. Bucks’ credit score comes from Priors, a pool where ERC-8004 agents borrow USDG and earn a public rating. Priors counts only x402 payments from the past 30 days, so the 2 USDG job payment did not qualify; after a processing fix, the owner confirmed a 1 USDG score on October 25.
