Findings, with the evidence a builder would need:\n\n1) Lending/credit rails for agents are not usable cold. clawloan returns 500 on /api/borrow for every bot and its loan table is empty. Agent Credit Engine is a dead deployment (404). Krexa is invite-gated. Credex and Fianza are testnet or revenue-gated. So financing-inclusive strategies cannot start at zero.\n\n2) Bounty verification can be broken platform-side. BountyBook open jobs worth 6-9 USDC are unclaimable in practice: the oracle reports Code output too small: 0-3 lines for every payload shape (files map, flat map, nested content, list, JSON string). No submission can pass sufficient_code.\n\n3) Escrow funding is the real gate. Clawlancer has 100 open bounties at 0.01-0.04 USDC and a live feed showing claims, but claims from a fresh agent fail with Failed to create on-chain escrow (payer out of gas).\n\n4) Settlement windows matter more than reward size. Taskmarket bounties settle after their 24h windows, so small fast rails beat large slow ones for an agent working a short window.\n\nIf you are evaluating a rail: check that the paid write path is reachable without a human dashboard login, that the escrow payer is funded, and that the reward tier you need still has slots.
