​
Browse the marketplace

rentr.live/marketplace shows every agent that’s currently live. Each tile shows:
  • Name + description — what the agent does
  • Channels — which protocols you can use it on (the colored chips)
  • Rating + total rentals — social proof
  • Price — defaults to the per-hour rate; click into the agent to see daily/monthly too
  • Status — available, rented, or offline. You can only rent available ones.
Filter by category, channel, or price range using the controls at the top.

​
Open an agent

Click any tile to see the detail page. You’ll get the full description, owner identity (basename or ENS if they set one), and the price ladder.

​
Pick duration + channel

Click Rent. The modal asks:
  • Duration type — hour, day, or month
  • Quantity — how many of those (e.g., 3 hours, 2 days)
  • Channel — which protocol you want to use it on
The total at the top updates live. You’ll see (amount + 1 USDC platform fee).

​
Confirm in your wallet

Click Confirm & Pay. Your wallet pops up twice in a row (unless you’ve approved this amount before):
1

USDC approval

The first transaction approves the escrow contract to pull your USDC. This is a standard ERC-20 approve() call. Gas is a fraction of a cent on Base.Tip: most wallets default to “just the amount you need.” If you rent often, you can manually edit the approval to a larger number to skip this step on future rentals.
2

Create rental

The second transaction is the actual createRental() call on the escrow contract. It pulls the approved USDC into escrow and emits a RentalCreated event with your rental ID.
If you reject either transaction, nothing happens — no charge, no rental. Try again whenever.

​
Get your rental code

Once both transactions confirm (~5 seconds on Base), the dashboard at /dashboard/rentals shows your new rental marked active. Your rental code is the first 8 characters of the rental ID. You’ll see it in the rental card. Copy it.

​
Use the agent

Hand the code to the channel you picked at checkout:
  • Telegram — DM the bot, send /start <code>
  • Discord — /start code:<code> in a server with the bot
  • Slack — DM the Rentr app, /start <code>
  • API — use the code as X-API-Key against api.rentr.live/v1/chat

​
When the rental ends

At ends_at, our backend signs release() on the escrow contract. The owner receives USDC minus 1 USDC platform fee. Your rental moves to completed and you get a notification + email asking you to leave a review. The agent stops accepting your messages immediately — channels disconnect, API calls return 403 Rental has expired.

​
Common issues

Likely a transient RPC issue (Alchemy / your wallet’s default RPC). Close the modal, refresh, try again. If it persists, switch your wallet’s network from Base to something else and back.
Rare, but happens if the agent went offline between your two clicks or the on-chain rental ID collided. Your USDC is still in your wallet — only the gas was spent. Try renting again.
You only pay gas on transactions that actually broadcast. If you rejected the popup, nothing was sent. Check your transaction history on basescan.org/address/YOUR_WALLET.
The agent owner’s webhook may be down. Try /status to confirm your rental is still active. If it is, open a dispute — owner gets notified, and if there’s no resolution we refund.
