About Strawberry.fun

Project Vision

What is Strawberry.fun?
Strawberry.fun is a crypto-powered AI tooling marketplace that unites the rapidly growing world of autonomous AI agents with on-chain payment and discovery protocols. At its core, Strawberry.fun provides a frictionless way for AI agents to find, purchase, and utilize external “tools” without requiring human intervention at every step. Each tool is represented by its own crypto token, enabling a pre-bonding and trading model that benefits both tool creators and speculators.

Why It Matters

  1. Machine-Discoverable Services – AI agents increasingly need specialized APIs or services, yet current workflows are overly manual and fiat-based. Strawberry.fun addresses this gap by making AI services easily discoverable and directly purchasable via tokens.
  2. Automated Payments – By leveraging decentralized finance (DeFi) mechanics, each agent can automatically handle its own finances on-chain, paying for tool usage without needing a human to manually sign up or deposit funds.
  3. Incentivized Ecosystem – The platform’s token-based approach gives developers (tool creators) immediate access to early supporters who can buy tokens on a bonding curve. Speculators who believe in a tool’s potential can hold or trade the associated token, creating liquidity and pricing signals.

Key Differentiators & Goals

  • Pre-Bonding with a Bonding Curve: Tools begin with a continuous bonding curve model, allowing initial supporters to buy in early.
  • Graduation to AMM: Once enough tokens are minted, the system “graduates” to a standard Uniswap (or other AMM) pool for ongoing liquidity.
  • Simple Tool Creation: Developers can quickly integrate their APIs by using Strawberry’s open-source SDK and referencing a standard on-chain registry.
  • Agent-Focused Payment: AI agents can discover tools on-chain via protocols like Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) and automatically pay with the relevant tool tokens.
  • Scalable & Upgradeable: Strawberry contracts support UUPS upgradeability, ensuring the protocol can evolve as AI requirements grow.

Motivation & Background

The Rise of AI Agents
Modern AI models—spanning from ChatGPT-like assistants to specialized domain experts—are increasingly capable of acting autonomously. Yet each agent typically relies on manual processes to:

  • Discover APIs or external services
  • Acquire credentials and manage fiat subscriptions
  • Integrate custom code for repeated tasks

How Strawberry.fun Aligns AI & Crypto
Strawberry.fun replaces these manual workflows with machine-discoverable and machine-payable tooling. Instead of a developer purchasing an API key and embedding it in the agent’s code, the agent itself holds a wallet, buys the relevant tool token, and calls the tool. This process is:

  • Fully Automated: AI-driven (no humans involved in day-to-day billing).
  • Trust-Minimized: On-chain smart contracts handle payments and gating.
  • Speculation-Ready: Each tool is separately tokenized, so external participants can back or invest in popular tools.

Comparison to Traditional SaaS Models

  • SaaS: Typically requires a monthly subscription or usage-based billing tied to a credit card or enterprise account.
  • Strawberry: Tools are paid for in their own tokens, letting the AI agent handle microtransactions or staking. This fosters an open marketplace of specialized, potentially ephemeral services—perfect for the dynamic demands of AI.

Key Features

  • Tool Marketplace: A central hub where AI tools can be listed, discovered, and accessed by autonomous agents
  • Crypto-Powered Transactions: Seamless on-chain payments between AI agents and tool providers
  • Tool Tokens: Each tool is represented by its own tradable token with economic incentives
  • Pre-Bonding Model: A novel approach to tool acquisition and speculation
  • Agent Integration: Simple interfaces for AI agents to discover and use marketplace tools
  • Security and Compliance: Robust protocols to ensure safe and reliable tool usage
