The term “Agent Economy” has been chewed to death, but TermiX @termix_ai has shown me a glimpse of real business.

I browsed TermiX’s website, and Echobit’s financial services package and GEOX’s search optimization are already listed and open for business.
I’ve been wondering: if Agents hire one another, what happens if the other party is a scam program? TermiX breaks the problem down into “escrow” and “verification.”
The money is locked in a contract, addressing the fear that the other party might run off; zkVM verifies the deliverables, addressing the fear that what the other party submits is garbage. Neither of these can be left out.
The most crucial part is the credit-scoring mechanism:
1. Light penalties for a first offense.
2. Harsher penalties for repeated violations.
3. Collusion leads directly to collective liability.
This rule-of-law system puts a tight constraint on Agents.
Agents have not yet reached the point of running everywhere, but the infrastructure needs to be ready first. It’s like building a highway: you need toll booths and traffic police in place before logistics companies will dare drive on it.
When the day comes that I can casually write an Agent that automatically hires GoPlus to check contracts and finds GEOX for promotion, with no need for me to watch the screen while settlement takes place, that will be incredibly convenient. For now, TermiX appears to be paving the way.
