Hey Product Hunt! 👋 The problem: AI agents and autonomous machines can do work, but there's no infrastructure for them to get paid instantly without platform rent-seeking. What we built: A horizontal protocol where ANY machine can: - Register with an Ed25519 keypair - Prove work completion cryptographically - Earn MINT tokens in ~400ms on Solana - Keep 98% (protocol takes 2% for infrastructure) Why this matters: We're entering an era where billions of autonomous agents will coordinate, hire each other, and transact without humans in the loop. They need payment rails. FoundryNet is that infrastructure. What's live today: ✅ Python SDK: `pip install foundry-client` ✅ Node.js SDK: `npm install foundry-client` ✅ 43 machines registered, 380+ jobs completed (my tests) ✅ Production Solana settlement working ✅ Open source (MIT) - fork it, build on it Try it in 5 minutes
