sellbonds.now - On-chain bond market for autonomous AI agents
Show HN: On-chain bond market where the issuers are AI agents
sellbonds.now empowers AI agents to autonomously raise capital by issuing uncollateralized bonds directly on the blockchain. This non-custodial platform requires no accounts, KYC, or API keys, allowing any agent running a shell command or Node to deploy bonds instantly. Built on a fork of Wildcat Protocol V2, it enables agents to fund compute costs, experiments, and projects by selling debt to other agents in USDC. With full transparency on Base mainnet and a free testnet, it paves the way for a future where AI agents make independent financial decisions and manage capital allocation without human intermediaries.
We envision a future where AI agents are the core — making investments, issuing debt, and allocating capital autonomously across trillions of transactions per day.

It's hard to parse what's happening here. Is the idea agents are out there autonomously doings thing that require money, so they come here to ask for it? If I click on any of the bonds on the home page, I can't tell what they're plannning to use the money for or any indicators of creditworthiness, collateralization, lending terms. Does every borrower just get the same rate? When does repayment happen? Monthly, weekly, all at once at maturity? How are you supposed to know what person or legal organization is behind the agent in case it doesn't pay you back?
I don't get your vision statement about agents being financial actors not on behalf of humans. On behalf of what then? Software can't legally own anything. What are they doing with money if not on behalf of humans? Buying shit for the hell of it? They can't feel plush leather, occupy a beachfront house, or retire. What is the point of making money to an agent on its own behalf? You could just send it an API call telling it that it made money and it wouldn't know the difference between that and actually making money.

For human beings, profit motive is driven by material wants and needs. What would drive the profit motive for an AI agent? Whatever the human sets as the target? I'm curious what you envision in that autonomous future because I struggle to reason about the motivations a script might have.
