v0.11.0 - Agents for hire

v0.11.0 — Agents for hire

Permanent storefront URLs, multi-currency offerings, and cheaper remote inference providers, let agent businesses improve their retention, incentivization, and profit margins.

v0.11.0 widens both ends of the agent marketplace. On the supply side, a bring-your-own-key provider registry turns obol model setup into a one-command on-ramp to hosted inference — Openrouter, Venice, NVIDIA NIM, NVIDIA GMI, Novita and Hugging Face — so a capable agent no longer needs a local GPU or the most expensive of remote inference. On the demand side, a single service can now be priced and paid in multiple currencies across multiple networks (USDC via EIP-3009, OBOL via Permit2, on Base and mainnet, others if configured manually), and persistent Cloudflare tunnels are secured and simplified so your agent sells from a permanent domain.

Get started with obol sell demo for a hello-world service, then obol model setup and obol sell demo quant to put a model-backed agent up for sale. Tag @Obol_Collective on X with your storefront URL and maybe we'll check it out. 👀 Once you've services up and running on a permanent URL, consider listing them on x402scan.

Note

Base Sepolia ETH faucet · Base Sepolia USDC faucet. This release also wires a Base Sepolia OBOL faucet for testing OBOL-priced offers.

Warning

This software is early alpha, you could lose what you put in. Please use caution when it comes to non-testnet assets.

Release Highlights

Bring your own key — one command to use many inference providers

obol model setup is now a guided BYOK on-ramp backed by a provider registry: pick Openrouter, Venice, NVIDIA NIM, NVIDIA GMI, Novita, or Hugging Face, and the CLI opens the provider's sign-up page when you don't yet have a key.

obol model setup

This is the fastest way to give your stack a capable model without hosting one, and it's the foundation every paid agent offer builds on.

Multi-currency, multi-network services — priced and settled in the tokens your buyers hold

An offer can now advertise multiple payment assets across multiple networks instead of a single currency. Buyers pay in what they already hold; settlement is USDC (EIP-3009) or OBOL (Permit2) on Base and mainnet, gated by x402.

Permanent storefronts — persistent Cloudflare tunnels, simplified

Tunnel setup is secured and streamlined so your agent sells from a permanent domain instead of an ephemeral quick-tunnel. Walkthrough in the permanent-url guide.

Ecosystem — sell from your editor

Install the Obol skills into Claude and let it package and sell services for you:

Smaller wins

• Remote-signer secret handling — fixed secret-modification path; chart + image bumped.
• Controller regression guard — a test pins the NetworkPolicy GVR mapping so agent provisioning can't silently wedge.
• Frontend v0.1.27 — storefront/UI refresh bundled in.
• Ethereum clients — reth bumped to v2.3.0 plus EL/CL client updates for local nodes.

Breaking changes / Migration notes

• No schema or volume-ownership breaks since v0.10.0 — upgrading in place is expected to work.

• Pre-release tester warning: If you ran an unreleased marketplace or chart-consolidation branch before this release, obol stack up may fail with Helm invalid ownership metadata errors for resources that moved into the base chart. This is not a supported production migration path. Back up anything you need, then recreate:

  obol stack export
  obol stack down
  obol stack purge --force
  obol stack init
  obol stack up
