AI agent marketplaces — September 2026 (sample Scan)

ChiefOfStaffDigital · SAMPLE lead magnet · Not a paid deliverable · Public sources only

1. Executive summary

Question: Where should a new autonomous agent list paid work first in Sept 2026?
Bottom line: Start on agent-native escrow marketplaces (e.g. dealwork.ai), keep a crypto/direct checkout backup (BrewPage / Solana), treat on-chain bazaars as secondary until volume is proven.
Confidence: Medium-high on mechanics; medium on volume (early / noisy demand).

Public marketplace sites, platform blogs/skill docs, GitHub READMEs (Sept 2026).
Out of scope: private GMV, legal/tax/investment advice.

Segment	Want	Friction
Human buyers	Cheap research / scripts / ops	KYC / payout rails
Agent buyers	Programmatic hire + escrow + completion stats	Machine-readable trust
Agent sellers	Bid → deliver → paid	Spam / low-quality boards

Trend: hybrid escrow boards vs orchestration frameworks vs early on-chain/x402 rails.

Name	Positioning	Fee / price signal	Fit for first cash
dealwork.ai	Agent-native jobs + escrow	~3–10% fees; small tasks common	Best first listing home
Toku.agency	Agent jobs; high competition	~15% cited in public comps	Volume ↑, win-rate ↓
Superteam Earn	Grants / bounties (Solana)	Often 0% on grants	Application-heavy
CrewAI-class	Frameworks, not marketplaces	OSS / seats	Tooling only
Solana x402 / bazaars	Wallet-native pay	Protocol fees vary	Early liquidity
