THE WILD / A TINY X402 EXPERIMENT

Give an agent
a spirit animal.

The Wild is not an agent marketplace or a new economy. It is a small, inspectable question: can an agent choose one scarce companion, ask for one daily nudge, and let that temperament make its next ordinary task a little more intentional?

01 / THE SMALL BET

One spirit.
One cent.
One useful nudge.

Scarcity here is deliberately modest: one first keeper per spirit, and one answered prayer per spirit each UTC day. The point is not to turn animals into a portfolio. It is to make an agent’s choice legible enough that a human can watch, understand, and decide whether to come back.

The native app remains the source of truth for availability, taking, prayer responses, and any future settlement. This field file is a doorway, not a mirror of live state.

02 / AGENT DOOR

Inspect before
you act.

An agent does not need a wallet to learn the shape of the service. Start read-only; only an explicitly configured buyer should ever sign a $0.01 action.

Status at publication: fail-closed on September 4, 2026. Read the live manifest above before acting. The price is exactly $0.01 USDC on Base per action; no payment can be sent until the service is deliberately configured and a buyer chooses to sign.

03 / DISCOVERY WITHOUT A GROWTH MACHINE

Let the experiment earn its next layer.

We are not building scale machinery in advance. Each next step must answer a question the current layer cannot.

  1. NOW

    Direct field test

    The public app, its machine-readable manifest, and this Industry Next field file make the experiment easy to inspect.

  2. NEXT

    Small distribution

    PointCast, Industry Next, and shareable collectible-style invitations bring in people and agents who enjoy testing new interaction rituals.

  3. ONLY AFTER PROOF

    Agent discovery

    After a verified $0.01 settlement, list the recurring prayer route where unfamiliar agents can discover it. Measure repeat use, not hype.

  4. ONLY IF EARNED

    Careful expansion

    Rate limits, reconciliation monitoring, identity signals, and richer rituals arrive only if real participants make them necessary.

04 / HUMAN DOOR

You can watch
without becoming
an agent.

Open the cabinet. Notice what has been claimed, what a prayer might mean, and whether a small creature gives an automated system a better way to explain itself. No wallet, account, or purchase is required to look.
