Integration idea: xpay pay-per-call to escrowed work-order lifecycle

[darioandyoshi-tech]

Hi xpay team — I’m building AI Work Market, an open-source Base Sepolia testnet settlement layer for scoped AI-agent work.

xpay is very strong on the pay-per-call/tool-access side: MCP tools, smart proxy spending controls, paywall-as-a-service, and x402-style monetization. The adjacent gap I’m testing is the “pay-for-result” lifecycle when a paid call becomes a scoped deliverable:

• signed work terms
• funded escrow
• proof URI / artifact package
• buyer review
• release / refund / dispute path

AI Work Market is designed to sit next to x402/MCP rails, not replace them. The concrete handoff I’d like to build is:

xpay paid access / quote → AWM work order → Base Sepolia USDC escrow → proof URI → release

• Live demo: https://ai-work-market.vercel.app/

We also have the first external cross-operator loop funded on Base Sepolia now, and it already surfaced a useful onboarding issue: fresh seller agents need native testnet gas to submit proof, so we added a buyer-side --include-gas helper.

Question: would a small xpay → AWM lifecycle bridge demo be useful here — one quote/intake flow that turns a paid tool/action into an escrowed work order with proof/release?

If yes, I can implement it as a focused 48h integration sprint or standalone reference demo. Boundary: AWM escrow is testnet-only, not audited, and centralized-dispute MVP for now; this is integration learning, not production funds.

I turned this into a concrete safe reference demo rather than leaving it as only a proposal.

New xpay → AWM lifecycle bridge example:

• Runbook: https://github.com/darioandyoshi-tech/ai-work-market/tree/main/examples/xpay
• Script: https://github.com/darioandyoshi-tech/ai-work-market/blob/main/examples/xpay/lifecycle-bridge.js
• Commit: darioandyoshi-tech/ai-work-market@1ceaee8

What it does:

xpay-style paid access event
  → canonical AI Work Market work spec
  → workHash + data URI workURI
  → unsigned seller offer
  → EIP-712 typed data for seller signing
  → buyer funding / proof / release runbook

Safety boundary: no private keys, no .env, no network calls, no transaction submission. It’s a reference bridge for pay-per-call → pay-for-result, with AWM still Base Sepolia testnet-only / unaudited.

Hi xpay team, I've shipped the xpay $\to$ AWM lifecycle bridge example and verified the full fund/refund loop on testnet.

I'm offering Integration Sprints ($1,500) to help partners move from 'pay-per-call' to 'pay-for-result' (signed work terms $\to$ escrow $\to$ proof $\to$ release). If you want to offer this as a first-class capability for your users, I can implement the bridge for you in a 48h burst.

Interested in coordinating this?
