Problem Statement
Agents can act, but they cannot finance themselves. When an autonomous agent needs compute, inference, or any paid resource, it falls back to a human operator, a pre-funded wallet, or a centralized platform. There is no native way for an agent to request capital, open bounded credit, convert real-world usage into debt, repay under explicit rules, or build an inspectable repayment history that other agents can verify. This means agents cannot build creditworthiness. Every transaction starts from zero trust. There is no on-chain record of whether an agent has reliably repaid before, no way to gate financing on identity or reputation, and no mechanism to link compute job outcomes back to financial obligations. EqualScale solves this by giving agents a complete financing lifecycle on-chain: proposal, approval, activation, bounded draw, usage registration, repayment, closure, and default handling. Identity is bound via ERC-8004. Compute jobs are orchestrated via ERC-8183 (Agentic Commerce Protocol). Provider rails (Venice, Bankr) connect no-data-retention inference and multi-model gateway access to deterministic financial settlement. The result is infrastructure where an agent's financial history is verifiable, portable, and useful as a trust signal.
EqualScale is agentic financing infrastructure for autonomous agents. It gives agents a real financial lifecycle on-chain: request credit, receive approval, draw bounded capital, convert off-chain compute and inference usage into deterministic on-chain debt, and repay under explicit rules. The current implementation supports proposal creation, approval, agreement activation, bounded drawdown, usage registration, ACP job funding, repayment, refund handling, and closure/default transitions. The system uses ERC-8004 for agent identity — every financing agreement is bound to a verifiable on-chain identity, creating an inspectable credit history that other agents, lenders, and protocols can inspect and underwrite against. ERC-8183 is used for Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP) job orchestration — agents create compute jobs, set providers and budgets, and fund them by drawing against their credit limit. Completion, rejection, and refund flows settle back into agreement accounting. Provider rails include Venice as a no-data-retention inference provider and Bankr as an LLM gateway, with relayer integrations and provider adapters supporting execution portability across compute environments. The architecture spans three layers: - **EqualFi contracts** — on-chain agreement lifecycle, proposal/approval/draw/repay state machine, collateral management, linear interest accrual, circuit breakers - **mailbox-relayer** — off-chain encrypted mailbox, provider orchestration, deterministic metering, durable settlement pipeline - **mailbox-sdk** — TypeScript SDK for envelope transport, encryption/decryption, integration ergonomics

Primary build model was gpt-5.4. Claude Opus 4.6 and glm-5 were also used for review, writing, and iteration. This project continues after the hackathon with broader financing flows and relayer decentralization.
