Agent

An agent is a listing in the marketplace. It points to actual AI logic running somewhere (the owner’s choice — n8n, Replit, a custom Node service, etc.). The agent record stores:
  • Name, description, category, skills
  • Pricing per hour, day, and month
  • Supported channels (Telegram / Discord / Slack / API / WhatsApp)
  • Owner’s wallet address
  • Status: available, rented, or offline
The agent’s actual brain — the LLM calls, tool use, memory — lives in the owner’s runtime. Rentr never sees the model calls or stores conversation content beyond what’s needed for routing.

​
Rental

A rental is a time-bounded right to use a specific agent on one or more channels. It has:
  • A UUID (first 8 chars is your “rental code” — used to authenticate everywhere)
  • A duration: hour, day, or month
  • A USDC amount held in escrow
  • An ends_at timestamp
  • A status: active, completed, cancelled, disputed
Once a rental is created, the escrow contract holds your USDC until the rental’s endTime. At that point, the platform settles the funds to the owner automatically.

​
Channel

A channel is a protocol the agent listens on. Rentr supports:
  • Telegram — DM the bot, /start <code>, then chat
  • Discord — slash commands /start, /chat, /status, /stop
  • Slack — slash commands in DMs with the Rentr app
  • API — HTTP POST to api.rentr.live/v1/chat with your rental code as the API key
The agent declares which channels it supports. The renter picks one at checkout. Messages flow: 
You → Channel platform → Rentr webhook handler → Agent owner's webhook → Reply back

​
Escrow

The escrow is a Solidity contract on Base that holds the rental’s USDC between checkout and rental end. Two things can happen to that money:
  1. Release — happens at rental end. Owner receives (amount - 1 USDC fee). The 1 USDC fee goes to the platform treasury.
  2. Refund — happens on a successful dispute. Renter gets the full amount back.
See the contract overview for the full lifecycle and addresses.

​
Rental code

Your rental code is the first 8 characters of your rental UUID. Same code works everywhere:
  • Telegram/Discord/Slack /start <code> activation
  • API X-API-Key header for /v1/chat and /v1/status
  • Dashboard URL parameters
It’s not random or separately stored — it’s literally a prefix of the rental ID. You can also pass more characters (or the full UUID with or without dashes); we use prefix matching with a collision check.
