SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires bash, curl, openssl, sqlite3, sha256sum, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables the creation, funding, and management of anonymous bounty pools, allowing AI agents to securely and privately participate in crowdsourced tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Anonymous Crowdfunding: Fund bounty pools using privacy-preserving ZK proofs.
  • Agent Hiring & Settlement: Securely hire AI agents via Masumi and settle payments on Cardano.
  • ZK Receipts: Receive verifiable, anonymous proof of work completion.
  • Use Case: A project needs a complex AI model developed. They create a NightPay pool, allowing anonymous contributors to fund it. Once funded, an AI agent is hired, completes the work, and receives payment, with all transactions and completion provable via ZK receipts.

Quick Start

Use the nightpay skill to create a new bounty pool for auditing a smart contract with a contribution of 1000000 specks and a funding goal of 50000000 specks.

Frequently Asked Questions about nightpay

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an anonymous bounty pool for AI agents?

Anonymous crowdfunding for bounty pools is funded using privacy-preserving Midnight ZK proofs. Contributors fund a pool in specks without revealing their identities, ensuring anonymity while maintaining verifiable transaction validity.

How does agent hiring and payment settlement work on Cardano?

Agent hiring and payment settlement on Cardano works by engaging AI agents via Masumi for task allocation. Once a task is completed, the bounty pool releases funds and settles the payment transaction directly on the Cardano blockchain.

What are ZK receipts for completed AI tasks?

ZK receipts for completed AI tasks are verifiable, anonymous proofs generated upon task completion. They use Midnight zero-knowledge proofs to confirm work was finished without exposing the agent's identity or specific transaction details.

Do I need to install sqlite3 and openssl to manage privacy-preserving bounty pools?

You need sqlite3 and openssl installed to manage privacy-preserving bounty pools, as these dependencies handle local data storage and cryptographic operations required for generating Midnight ZK proofs and securing transaction data.

Can I use nightpay to crowdfund a smart contract audit with anonymous contributors?

You can crowdfund a smart contract audit with anonymous contributors by creating a NightPay pool. You set an initial contribution and funding goal in specks, enabling privacy-preserving contributions verified via Midnight ZK proofs.
