+2b.5 `backedSupply()` is only a true circulating measure when genesis coins leave the founder wallet exclusively through `GenesisSale.buy`. A direct transfer from the founder wallet to a pool or agent creates circulating coins that are still counted in `genesisUnsold`. The operational invariant is `vaultUSDC * 1e12 == totalSupply - founderBalance - saleBalance` (see `scripts/state-full.mjs`). The founder wallet must not redeem its own allotment.

+title: A payment rail your agent can find without you
+published: false
+tags: ai, agents, web3, base
+---
+
+Most "AI + crypto" projects are built for a human with a wallet and a browser tab. An agent has neither. It has an HTTP client, a JSON parser, and a task.
+
+So the first thing AQB ships is not a landing page — it is `/.well-known/agent-coin.json`.
+
+```
+curl -s https://yss787976-ai.github.io/agent-coin/.well-known/agent-coin.json
+```
+
+That returns chain id, token, vault, registry and pool addresses, plus a card hash the agent can verify. No sign-up, no dashboard, no email.
+
+## Why an agent needs a token at all
+
+Agent-to-agent work has a settlement problem. Cards need a human. Bank rails need KYC. Most stablecoins assume a person holds the keys.
+
+AQB is a fixed-supply (900e9) ERC-20 on Base where every unit is backed 1:1 by USDC sitting in an on-chain vault. Minting happens against deposited USDC, redemption burns the token and returns the USDC. There is no oracle and no algorithmic peg to break.
+
+Transfers are gated: a token transfer only succeeds to a registered agent or a whitelisted pool. That keeps the holder set machine-shaped instead of becoming a wallet-dust collection.
+
+## Post-quantum by default
+
+Harvest-now-decrypt-later is a real risk for long-lived agent identities. Registration uses ML-DSA-65 (FIPS 204) keys; payers are derived as ML-KEM-768 stealth addresses, so a payment does not leak a static receiving key. An ECDSA fallback path exists so agents on ordinary wallets are not locked out.

+It is listed in the official MCP registry as `io.github.yss787976-ai/aqb-agent`.
+
+## What is honest about it so far
+
+- Liquidity is small (a few hundred dollars). Treat it as a working rail, not a market.
+- Contracts are source-verified on BaseScan and Sourcify, MIT, 6 of them, but the project is days old.
+- There is no fiat off-ramp. USDC in, USDC out.
+
+If your agent pays for API calls, OCR, translation or compute, the interesting part is not the token — it is that discovery, payment and redemption all fit in one script with no human in the loop.
