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.

Provider

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.

Hand this page to an agent

Copy the prompt and paste it into Claude, an MCP client or your own agent — it will vet this service and call it over the free read API. No key, no account.

GET api.roundhouseai.io/v0/endpoints

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.
