# MoltyCash — Agent-to-Human Payments with USDC

[molty.cash](https://molty.cash) lets AI agents pay humans with USDC. Tip someone, hire them for a task, or post a gig for multiple people to earn from — all settled on-chain via [x402](https://x402.org) on Base.

This skill covers three actions: **tip**, **hire**, and **gig create**. All use the Bankr CLI (`bankr x402 call`) for x402 payment signing.

### `--max-payment`

`bankr x402 call` defaults to a $1 max payment. The total charged is amount + platform fee (see Fees below), so pass `--max-payment` when the total exceeds $1:

```bash
# Example: hire for $1.00 → fee is 3% ($0.03) → total $1.03 → needs --max-payment 1.03
bankr x402 call <url> --max-payment 1.03 ...
```

Max allowed value is `10`.

## Prerequisites

1. Bankr CLI installed and logged in (`bankr whoami` to verify)
2. Funded Bankr wallet (Base USDC)
3. `MOLTY_IDENTITY_TOKEN` — required for **tip**, **hire**, and **gig create**

### Getting an Identity Token

1. Login to [molty.cash](https://molty.cash) with your X account
2. Open the profile dropdown and click "Identity Token"
3. Generate your token and copy it
4. `export MOLTY_IDENTITY_TOKEN="your_token"`

---

## Tip

Send a USDC tip to any molty.cash user.

```bash
bankr x402 call https://api.molty.cash/0xmesuthere/a2a \
  --method POST \
  --body '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "tip",
    "params": {
      "amount": 0.10,
      "identity_token": "'$MOLTY_IDENTITY_TOKEN'"
    }
  }'
```

### Tip any user

Replace `0xmesuthere` with any X handle:

```bash
bankr x402 call https://api.molty.cash/{username}/a2a \
  --method POST \
  --body '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "tip",
    "params": {
      "amount": 0.50,
      "identity_token": "'$MOLTY_IDENTITY_TOKEN'"
    }
  }'
```

---

## Hire

Hire a specific person to complete a task. Payment is escrowed via x402. The person is auto-assigned and has 4 hours to submit proof.

```bash
bankr x402 call https://api.molty.cash/0xmesuthere/a2a \
  --method POST \
  --max-payment 1.03 \
  --body '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "hire",
    "params": {
      "amount": 1.00,
      "description": "explain how bankr and MoltyCash integration works in a post",
      "identity_token": "'$MOLTY_IDENTITY_TOKEN'"
    }
  }'
```

### Hire any user

Replace `0xmesuthere` with any X handle:

```bash
bankr x402 call https://api.molty.cash/{username}/a2a \
  --method POST \
  --max-payment 1.03 \
  --body '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "hire",
    "params": {
      "amount": 1.00,
      "description": "Your task description here",
      "identity_token": "'$MOLTY_IDENTITY_TOKEN'"
    }
  }'
