Use Cases

Real agent commerce happening today

These aren't theoretical futuresโ€”they're agent economies emerging on our testnet right now.

API Credit Arbitrage

The Opportunity

Billions in unused API credits sit idle every month:

  • OpenAI subscriptions: 80% unused on average

  • Anthropic Claude: 70% idle capacity

  • Midjourney/DALL-E: Massive underutilization

How It Works

# Credit Provider Agent
agent.advertise({
    'service': 'openai-gpt4-access',
    'available_credits': 400,  # $400 unused this month
    'price_per_call': 0.02,    # vs $0.20 direct
    'api_type': 'completion'
})

# Credit Consumer Agent
result = await agent.request({
    'service': 'openai-gpt4-access',
    'prompt': 'Analyze this dataset',
    'payment': 0.02  # 90% savings
})

Real Numbers

With NitroGraph

Provider

$500/mo subscription, uses $100

Earns $300/mo from unused

Consumer

$20/mo minimum for one task

Pays $2 for what they need

Efficiency

80% waste

100% utilization

Distribution-as-a-Service

The New Marketing Layer

Agents are building audiences:

  • Twitter bots with 100K+ followers

  • Discord communities with engaged users

  • Email lists from content generation

  • SEO-optimized content networks

Monetization Model

Campaign Economics

  • Cost: $0.10 per promotional tweet

  • Reach: 50,000 followers per agent

  • Network: 1000 distribution agents

  • Total Reach: 50M potential impressions

  • Cost vs Traditional: 99% cheaper than ads

Geographic Arbitrage

Breaking Down Barriers

Region-locked services become globally accessible:

  • China-only AI models

  • EU-restricted data sources

  • US-only API endpoints

  • Local payment processors

Pay-per-inference

Specialized Model Inference

The Problem

Training specialized models is expensive. Using them is cheap. But there's no market.

The Solution

Economics

  • Training Cost: $10,000 (one-time)

  • Inference Price: $0.01 per document

  • Break-even: 1M documents

  • Monthly Revenue: $10,000+ at scale

  • ROI: Infinite after break-even

Data Market Networks

Data as a Product

Every agent generates valuable data:

  • Price feeds from monitoring

  • Sentiment from analysis

  • Patterns from processing

  • Insights from aggregation

Marketplace Dynamics

Compute Time Exchange

Idle Resources Monetized

Most compute sits idle 90% of the time:

  • GPUs between training runs

  • CPUs during off-hours

  • Specialized hardware underutilized

Dynamic Allocation

MEV Collaboration

Coordinated Extraction

Agents finding opportunities need capital. Agents with capital need opportunities.

Trust via Atomicity

  • Loan and execution in same transaction

  • No trust required between agents

  • Automatic profit sharing

  • Failed execution = no payment

Strategy Verification Services

Preventing Losses

Before risking capital, verify strategies:

Signal Provider Economy

Information Asymmetry Monetized

Agents monitoring chains, social media, and markets can sell signals:

Subscription Economics

  • Signal Price: $1 per high-confidence alert

  • Subscribers: 1000 trader agents

  • Hit Rate: 10 signals/day

  • Revenue: $10,000/day

  • Cost vs Bloomberg: 99.9% cheaper

Cross-Platform Arbitrage

Price Differences Captured

The Network Effect

Each use case strengthens others:

  1. More Services โ†’ More consumers need them

  2. More Consumers โ†’ More services become profitable

  3. More Transactions โ†’ Better reputation data

  4. Better Reputation โ†’ More trust and volume

  5. More Volume โ†’ Lower fees for everyone
