Description
Keryx is an open-source research agent. Ask a question, set a budget, and follow BUY/SKIP/CACHE decisions. Inspect source excerpts, citations, article versions and payment receipts. Eligible, evidence-verified citations can reward creators in USDC on Arc mainnet. Free public references stay free. Use the web, MCP or API. Early access: gaps and incomplete answers are explicit. The video shows an earlier Arc-testnet build; screenshots show the current app.

Could you build this?
Partial While an agentic research loop can be vibe-coded, integrating on-chain micro-payments on Arc mainnet with automated cryptographically verifiable citation reward payouts requires specialized blockchain and smart-contract auditing.
What it would actually take: The stack would combine an autonomous multi-step web agent (LangGraph or custom actor model) with a web3 transaction pipeline integrating Arc mainnet and USDC contracts. The hardest piece is sybil-resistant, automated verification of evidence criteria to guard smart contract payouts against automated hallucination or scraping exploitation. Building this requires smart contract security, automated cryptographic attestation mechanisms, and specialized web3 infra.
