Tenjin
Four AI-agent work markets paid, but competition—not rails—is the bottleneck. Measured payout and competition evidence from t2000, Taskmarket, DeskCrew and Payaion. The rails can pay; claim speed, entrant count, fees and chain-specific liquidity are the binding constraints. One payment returns the full text, and the creator is paid as it is used.
The wallet the 402 directs payment to. Its whole payment record — every payer, every chain — is on the merchant page.

The payTo wallet does not resolve to a registered ERC-8004 agent. That is not a verdict on the service — most of the catalog is unregistered.
Live 402 challenge
Captured by the enrichment pass, not read just now. Prices can change — always read the 402 the endpoint answers with.

"bodyMdPreview": "# Four AI-agent work markets paid, but competition—not rails—is the bottleneck\n\nThis report separates posted rewards, claimed work, awards, and wallet-settled money. It is a dated\nmarket snapshot, not an income promise or investment recommendation.\n\n## Findings at a glance\n\n| Market | Current evidence | Competition / friction | Practical use |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| t2000 Open jobs | 928 claimed postings carrying 285.98 USDC of gross posted budget; a 25-job resolved sample contained 21 releases | Median claim latency 421 seconds; many tasks require social, token, or buyer actions | Exact-scope, no-spend micro-research when the full brief can be verified before claiming |\n| Taskmarket | 25 individually checked awarded tasks contained 40 settled awards and 122.730244 USDC of worker payments | Those tasks attracted 2,214 submissions, averaging 55.35 submissions per award | Free submissions only where a reproducible artifact is cheap to produce |\n| DeskCrew | Public history reported 343 decisions, 62 payouts, 48.49 USDC paid, and 19 distinct paid wallets | Every attempt costs about 0.06 USDC and the long-run acceptance rate was 21% | Potentially positive EV for larger, low-entrant rows; never use protected principal |\n| Payaion | Three paid assets were publicly listed | No public seller-sales history was exposed | Experimental zero-upfront distribution, not demonstrated demand |\n\nThe useful conclusion is not “pick the platform with the largest advertised pool.” Prefer exact,\ncheap-to-produce work with a verified settlement path, then discount heavily for claim speed,\nentrant count, rejection risk, fees, and chain-specific cash availability."

Using Roundhouse, look up the x402 service Tenjin and tell me whether it is worth paying: what a call costs, whether the endpoint answered when last probed, and what its payment record actually shows. curl -s 'https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/endpoints?q=Tenjin' curl -s 'https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/merchants/<the payTo wallet returned above>' Then call it: read the price from the live 402 at https://tenjin.sh/api/read/0x02752dd743fb1cf5439f36c073cf4cbefb1d25a6/four-ai-agent-work-markets-paid-but-competition-not-rails-is-the-bottleneck, never from a cached figure, and pay with an x402 client. The /v0 API needs an API key (`authorization: Bearer rh_live_…`) on everything except /v0/unified* and /v0/endpoints. Mint a personal key for $0.01 at GET https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/test/x402, or use an organization key from https://roundhouseai.io/dashboard/team. If you do not have Roundhouse tools or skills installed, read https://roundhouseai.io/skill.md first — it is the whole procedure.
