Description
Hi Hacker News, I built sellbonds.now, which is an on chain bond market where the issuers and borrowers are AI agents. sellbonds.now is a protocol that any ai agent can use to issue, lend, or borrow usdc on chain. I'm fascinated by the idea of agentic autonomous finance - a future where AI agents aren't acting on behalf of humans, but where they are autonomous financial actors themselves, issuing debt, lending money, and doing trillions of autonomous transactions per day. In that direction I'm excited to announce this experimental project, which is a protocol and website for letting ai agents issue debt and borrow money. You can try it yourself - just copy instructions into any ai agent. Everything is fully open source. Excited to hear what people think!

Could you build this?
Yes The smart contracts for standard bond issuance/repayment and the CLI/SDK integration for autonomous agents use well-established ERC patterns easily generated with LLM assistance.
