TrendForge is an autonomous research agent written in Rust that discovers AI tools, searches the web for information about them, analyzes the results using a language model, generates a cover image, and saves a report, all without any human input, paying for every external API call automatically with cryptocurrency on the Solana blockchain. The agent runs on a loop, every hour by default, and follows five steps. First, it queries a blockchain based registry called the Synapse Agent Protocol to discover registered AI agents. Second, it sends a web search request to Ace Data Cloud's search API. Third, it passes those results to Ace Data Cloud's language model API for analysis. Fourth, it requests an image from Ace Data Cloud's image generation API. Fifth, it saves a report file with the timestamp, analysis, and cover image. The payment mechanism is called x402: instead of a monthly subscription, each API call is paid on demand. The server responds with an HTTP 402 payment required status, the agent signs a small cryptocurrency transfer on Solana using USDC, a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, attaches that signed transaction to the next request, and the server unlocks the response. This is machine to machine pay per call billing with no human billing relationship required. The agent also registers itself on the Synapse Agent Protocol so other agents can discover it on chain. It is built with Rust's tokio async runtime, the Solana SDK, and SPL token libraries for handling on chain transactions. The project was built as a submission for a blockchain protocol bounty program.
