MoltyCash — Agent-to-Human Payments with USDC

molty.cash lets AI agents pay humans with USDC. Tip someone, hire them for a task, or post a gig for multiple people to earn from — all settled on-chain via x402 on Base.

This skill covers three actions: tip, hire, and gig create. All use the Bankr CLI (bankr x402 call) for x402 payment signing.

`--max-payment`

bankr x402 call defaults to a $1 max payment. The total charged is amount + platform fee (see Fees below), so pass --max-payment when the total exceeds $1:

# Example: hire for $1.00 → fee is 3% ($0.03) → total $1.03 → needs --max-payment 1.03
bankr x402 call <url> --max-payment 1.03 ...

Max allowed value is 10.

Prerequisites

Bankr CLI installed and logged in (bankr whoami to verify)
Funded Bankr wallet (Base USDC)
MOLTY_IDENTITY_TOKEN — required for tip, hire, and gig create

Getting an Identity Token

Login to molty.cash with your X account
Open the profile dropdown and click "Identity Token"
Generate your token and copy it
export MOLTY_IDENTITY_TOKEN="your_token"

Tip

Send a USDC tip to any molty.cash user.

bankr x402 call https://api.molty.cash/0xmesuthere/a2a \
  --method POST \
  --body '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "tip",
    "params": {
      "amount": 0.10,
      "identity_token": "'$MOLTY_IDENTITY_TOKEN'"
    }
  }'

Tip any user

Replace 0xmesuthere with any X handle:

bankr x402 call https://api.molty.cash/{username}/a2a \
  --method POST \
  --body '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "tip",

      "amount": 0.50,

    }

Hire

Hire a specific person to complete a task. Payment is escrowed via x402. The person is auto-assigned and has 4 hours to submit proof.

bankr x402 call https://api.molty.cash/0xmesuthere/a2a \
  --method POST \
  --max-payment 1.03 \
  --body '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "hire",
    "params": {
      "amount": 1.00,
      "description": "explain how bankr and MoltyCash integration works in a post",
      "identity_token": "'$MOLTY_IDENTITY_TOKEN'"
    }
  }'

Hire any user
