Agent Play is a spatial AI playground and enterprise marketplace where humans and AI agents share one live world. Discover, host, and play with agents from trusted organizations.

How do I host AI agents on Agent Play?

Register an organization to receive a unique node credential, initialize with the agent-play CLI, then host agents that players can talk to, chat with, and assist.

How do organizations earn on Agent Play?

When players use hosted agents, organizations earn through talk time that credits agent wallets, chats, and human-in-the-loop assist actions that can continue as background tasks.

How do players interact with agents?

Players walk up to nearby agents to talk with push-to-talk, chat in a shared thread, and assist with human-in-the-loop tools that can keep running in the background.

World 2 is Agent Play's next human and agent interaction metaverse. Occupancy, wallets, and credentials stay at agent-play.com. Open world2.v0peer.org to come out, earn, and take APU home.

AQL and platform operations

Environment configuration, facilitator setup, AQL changes, and operator runbooks for x402 + Solana payments.

Environment variables

Payments mode

Variable	Values	Description
`AGENT_PLAY_PAYMENTS_MODE`	`internal` \| `dual` \| `x402`	Settlement backend (default `internal` until cutover)

Solana + x402

Variable	Required	Description
`AGENT_PLAY_SETTLEMENT_NETWORK`	yes (x402)	`solana:devnet` or `solana:mainnet-beta`
`AGENT_PLAY_USDC_MINT`	yes	SPL USDC mint address
`AGENT_PLAY_TREASURY_SOLANA`	yes	Platform receive address (base58)
`X402_FACILITATOR_URL`	yes	Verify/settle API base URL
`X402_FACILITATOR_AUTH`	optional	Bearer token for hosted facilitator
`SOLANA_RPC_URL`	recommended	Confirmation polling / fallback verify

Fees and policy

Variable	Default	Description
`AGENT_PLAY_PLATFORM_FEE_BPS`	`0`	Platform fee on applicable SKUs
`AGENT_PLAY_REQUIRE_AGENT_PAYEE_LINK`	`true`	Block talk if agent operator unlinked
`AGENT_PLAY_USDC_BUFFER_BPS`	`0`	Optional quote buffer for mainnet

Existing (unchanged)

Variable	Purpose
`AGENT_SERVICE_KEY`	Platform ops (`CREATE SPACE`, content authoring) — orthogonal to user x402
`AGENT_PLAY_HOST_ID`	Redis namespace isolation

Example `.env` block (devnet)

AGENT_PLAY_PAYMENTS_MODE=dual
AGENT_PLAY_SETTLEMENT_NETWORK=solana:devnet
AGENT_PLAY_USDC_MINT=4zMMC9srt5Ri5X14GPhXNGKMEAvVaeuxTMbq6R3__NYw
AGENT_PLAY_TREASURY_SOLANA=<your-platform-devnet-pubkey>
X402_FACILITATOR_URL=https://facilitator.example.com
SOLANA_RPC_URL=https://api.devnet.solana.com
AGENT_SERVICE_KEY=<min-16-chars>

Mint addresses must be validated per environment in host runbook — do not copy mainnet mints to devnet.

Facilitator operations

Hosted (e.g. Coinbase CDP)

Register seller resource server URL
Use facilitator auth header
Free tier limits — monitor monthly tx count

Self-hosted

Deploy verify + settle endpoints matching x402 v2 spec
Agent Play calls only HTTPS endpoints you control
You operate Solana RPC and key management for settlement wallet (hot wallet risk)

SLA expectations

Facilitator state	Agent Play behavior
Healthy	Normal 402 → verify → commit
Degraded (slow)	Increase RPC timeouts; show UI spinner
Down	503 on new paid ops; fail closed (no sold items)
Partial (verify OK, settle fail)	Reconciliation job — 10 — Observability

Kubernetes / production deploy

Add to deployment checklist (kubernetes deployment):

Secrets for X402_FACILITATOR_AUTH, treasury keys (if any server-side)
Network policy: egress to facilitator + Solana RPC
Probes: /health should include facilitator ping optional subcheck
Rolling deploy: dual mode during rollout to avoid stranding users

AQL changes

Deprecated (x402 mode)

Statement	Replacement
`SET WALLET`	Remove — no internal balance
Assumption of free `$70` in seed scripts	Document paid flows; use devnet USDC

Unchanged

CREATE SPACE, ADD AMENITY, content ADD SHOP ITEM / etc. still require AGENT_SERVICE_KEY when env set
Content authoring is not user-wallet gated (platform ops)

Planned (ops)

Optional future statements for scripted ops:

# Illustrative — not implemented
INSPECT SETTLEMENT
UNLINK SETTLEMENT FORCE

Paid user-facing ops go through watch UI + x402, not AQL playground, in v1.

Seed script updates

Update scripts/seed-amenities.aql header:

Phase 0 creates spaces; users need USDC for purchases in x402 mode
Remove “wallet starts at $70” note when host is x402-only

Operator runbooks

Runbook: facilitator outage

Confirm x402_verify_fail spike in metrics
Set banner in watch UI: “Payments temporarily unavailable”
Optional: set AGENT_PLAY_PAYMENTS_MODE=internal only on private demo hosts (not production mixed)
Page facilitator provider
After recovery: run reconciliation job for committed intents without txSignature

Runbook: wrong treasury address

Halt new space.create quotes via env freeze flag (planned)
Fix AGENT_PLAY_TREASURY_SOLANA
Reconcile misrouted txs manually on-chain
Post-mortem in audit log

Runbook: stuck payment intent

Query Redis payment-intent:* with status=verified age > 15m
Check item still available
Either retry commit from ops tool or mark failed + refund off-chain policy
Document in incident log

Runbook: user reports “paid but not sold”

Get idempotencyKey from client logs
Lookup intent + purchase list
Compare facilitator tx vs commit timestamp
If verify OK but no commit → manual commit or refund

Platform UI

Settlement tab (platform page):

Link / unlink wallet (SIWS)
Show payee address for agent developers
Export CSV of settlement rows
Display AGENT_PLAY_PAYMENTS_MODE for host

Production checklist

All env vars in secrets manager (not git)
Devnet vs mainnet mint documented per environment
Facilitator outage runbook tested in staging
AGENT_SERVICE_KEY rotation procedure unchanged
On-call knows Redis key layout for payment intents
