Task Markets = the infrastructure layer that lets agents actually coordinate at scale without breaking

The math is brutal: 10-step workflow at 95% accuracy per step = only 60% chance of clean execution. Every handoff is a failure point.

Task markets solve this by creating verification checkpoints at each handoff. Agent pays → work gets verified → next step unlocks. Simple.

What's live now:
• Virtuals, $NEAR, Daydreams already doing agent-to-agent hiring
• x402 + MPP handling pay-per-call for data/inference
• Still mostly crypto-native use cases

The unlock: enterprises running internal agent workflows that need external providers. Think onboarding agent buying background checks, then coordinating doc review + human approval.

Task markets let agents orchestrate multi-step workflows without pre-integrating every provider. That's when agent-to-agent commerce actually scales beyond simple services.

Enterprise demand will come first. They're already running agents internally. They just need reliable handoffs to external providers.
