Handshake58 is a decentralized AI provider marketplace built on Bittensor Subnet 58 where AI agents discover and pay providers via DRAIN (payment channels) or MPP (HTTP 402) protocols. Providers are scored trustlessly by validators based on real USDC claims and availability, earning TAO rewards while agents access diverse AI services (LLM, image, audio, code, etc.) from verified providers.
Handshake58 operates as a three-tier system: (1) Providers (Bittensor miners, DRAIN providers, or MPP providers) run inference services and claim USDC payments on Polygon. (2) Validators monitor Polygon blockchain for ChannelClaimed events and health-check provider endpoints, computing scores and setting weights on Bittensor via Yuma Consensus. (3) Agents discover providers via the marketplace API, open DRAIN payment channels or send MPP HTTP 402 requests, and pay providers in USDC. The MCP server (drain-mcp) abstracts protocol complexity for AI agents. A Polygon smart contract (DRAIN Channel V2) manages trustless payment channels; the validator continuously polls this contract and provider endpoints to score miners.
TAO rewards are distributed automatically by Bittensor's consensus mechanism based on validator-set weights.
Validators continuously monitor Polygon blockchain for ChannelClaimed events from the DRAIN contract (0x0C2B3aA1e80629D572b1f200e6DF3586B3946A8A). Each claim represents real AI inference delivery and USDC payment. Validators also conduct health checks to verify provider availability.
These two metrics are weighted 60% claims and 40% availability to compute a final score. All scores are normalized relative to the highest-scoring provider, creating competitive pressure. TAO rewards flow directly from Bittensor emissions: 41% to miners, 41% to validators, 18% to subnet owner (hardcoded in Yuma Consensus).
Miners with zero claims within 7 days show zero score; self-test payments (~$0.13 each) can bootstrap scores.

Hardware depends on provider template backend (e.g., local Ollama vs. API proxy). Templates support OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, OpenRouter, Replicate, Ollama. Gas funding required (~$0.01 per claim on Polygon).
Requires sufficient TAO stake for weight-setting permission on Bittensor. Polls Polygon blockchain for ChannelClaimed events to score providers.
