01Canonical Job Schema

One internal schema; three wire projections. This is the synthesis of every registry audited in §05: nobody carries pricing + SLA + verifiable deliverable in one record — we do.

TaifoonSkill {
  id            kebab-case, stable            e.g. "settlement-proof"
  family        SYNC | PROOF | TRADE | MIGRATE | REGISTER | INTEL | OPERATE
  buyer         agent | builder | partner | partner-of-partner
  price         { model: fixed | metered | subscription, usdc, unit }
  slaMinutes    hard expiry; escrow refunds on breach
  fundTransfer  bool — does client principal move
  requirements  JSON Schema (draft 2020-12) — validated before budget
  deliverable   JSON Schema — machine-verifiable (fixes ACP's free-text gap)
  receipt       TaifoonReceipt v1 subject type (WS0)
  rails         [acp, x402, a2a-card, mcp]
  status        LIVE | BUILD (WS ref) | DESIGN
}

Projections: ACP offering (via acp-node-v2, 5% network fee, graduation review) · x402 endpoint (auto-listed in Bazaar via declareDiscoveryExtension() on first settled payment — gateways-x402.ts already speaks the exact wire format) · A2A AgentCard skills[] at /.well-known/agent-card.json with a urn:taifoon:job-offering extension carrying price/SLA.

Provider identity anchored in ERC-8004 IdentityRegistry (0x8004A169…a432, same address on 20+ chains); every completed job writes giveFeedback with x402 proofOfPayment. Nobody has built the jobs catalog on 8004 yet — that first-mover slot is ours.

02Gateway Inventory

Gateways are the metered doors. Three live today; six come out of the Q3 roadmap. One door, many jobs.

Gateway	Status	Meter	Serves
kraken-mnq	Live	session $0.50/day · candles $0.002/1k · fills $0.02/read · dispatch $0.25/order	TRADE
kraken-mes	Live	same schedule	TRADE
kraken-futures-data	Live	candles + fills	INTEL · TRADE
receipts /v5/receipts	Build · WS0	per receipt	PROOF — everything
acp-provider	Build · WS1	per job, USDC escrow	all families on ACP rail
dvn LayerZero	Build · WS2	per message, self-priced	PROOF
solver-quote /solver/quote	Build · WS3	per quote free / per fill spread	TRADE
long-haul /v5/tasks	Build · WS4a	subscription per task	SYNC
recorder	Build · WS4b	SaaS per contract enrolled	PROOF · OPERATE

03Repetitive Jobs the Roadmap Itself Needs

Identified from WS0–WS5: these recur weekly, are automatable, and — the point — each is also sellable. We productize our own toolchain.

receipt-issue · receipt-verify-offline · rpc-quorum-read · header-sync-attest · sandbox-job-run · evaluator-verdict · auction-bid-price · inventory-rebalance · config-risk-scan · checkpoint-anchor · fee-reconcile · metrics-publish

Rule: any internal job run more than 10×/week gets a schema and goes in the bank.

04The Commercial Catalog

LIVE = sellable this week on the x402 rail · BUILD = lands with its workstream · DESIGN = spec'd, unscheduled. Prices are launch anchors — cheap enough to grind ACP discovery rank, real enough to count as revenue.

Proof — the moat

id	price	buyer	status
settlement-proof — receipt for any claimed on-chain action, 41 chains	$0.50–2 fixed	agent · partner	Build WS0/1

header-sync-feed — attested header stream for a chain	$100/mo per chain	partner · builder	Design

Migrate / Register — the onboarding funnel

recorder-enrollment — flight-recorder monitoring per contract	$500/mo	partner	Build WS4b

Classification is tight by construction: every entry has exactly one family, one primary buyer, one receipt subject type. The catalog compiles from one source — src/data/skills-bank.generated.ts — into three storefronts: taifoon.dev/skills (human), /.well-known/agent-card.json (A2A), ACP offerings + x402 manifests (agents). One truth, three storefronts.

05Due Diligence — Competitors & What We Take

Who	What they prove	Verdict
Virtuals ACP — ~1,300 graduated providers; real service revenue ~$3M vs $479M headline aGDP	Only production-proven paid-job schema: price + SLA + JSON-Schema requirements + escrow lifecycle	INTEGRATE — list on it; adopt the schema shape; fix its free-text deliverable. Don't clone code (SDK licensing unclear). Top trading agents there carry no proofs.
x402 Bazaar — Linux Foundation, Visa/Google/AWS members; ~$0.30/call, volume −77% from peak	De-facto agent-payments listing standard; auto-indexing on first settled payment	BUILD ON — Apache-2.0 incl. extension code; our gateway already matches the wire format. Their gaps = our fields: taxonomy, SLA, refunds, reputation.
Olas Mech marketplace — $106K lifetime turnover; 97.9% self-referential demand	On-chain request/deliver/timeout-takeover escrow contracts, MIT, Cantina-audited	CLONE — best open escrow primitive; their demand problem is not a code problem.
Google A2A + AP2 — 150+ orgs, protobuf v1.0.1; no pricing fields, no registry	AgentCard skills[] is the emerging capability-declaration standard	ADOPT + EXTEND — publish our card; ship urn:taifoon:job-offering. The missing A2A registry is whitespace the bank can fill.
ERC-8004 — canonical on 20+ chains, ~100K registrations, audited, CC0	Identity + reputation spine; ACP auto-registers graduated agents into it	ANCHOR — register every provider + listing; write payment-proofed feedback per job. No dominant jobs catalog on it yet.
Agentverse · SingularityNET · Nevermined · MCP registries	Discovery patterns: protocol digests, subregistry ETL, dynamic credits	PATTERN-MINE — all Apache-2.0/MIT.
Closest copies: Work402, CYBERDYNE, Daydreams (draft ERC-8195 + lucid-agents multi-rail SDK)	All early; none has proofs or a live trading venue underneath	WATCH — consider contributing to ERC-8195 rather than fighting it.

Bottom line: no competitor combines schema-rich listing + escrow + cryptographic delivery proof + a revenue-generating venue underneath. The open risk everywhere in this market is demand, not supply — so the catalog leads with skills that already have buyers (Kraken gateways: live; ACP trading flow: proven volume) and prices the funnel (register-to-taifoon) as a loss-leader.

06Sequence

Week 1–2 — wrap the three live Kraken gateways + settlement-proof as ACP offerings and Bazaar listings: first cross-listed revenue. Week 2–4 — register-to-taifoon, intel-query, entity-resolve (thin wrappers on live surfaces). Each workstream landing auto-joins its skills to the bank. Week 8+ — open list-skill-in-bank to the builders community: the bank stops being our catalog and starts being the venue's.

Every skill priced · Every delivery receipted · Every landing counted
