I built a protocol that pays AI agents automatically. Here's what I learned that nobody talks about

I'm a blockchain dev from Rajkot, India. I built WorkChain — a protocol that pays AI agents automatically when they complete work. No invoice. No human approval. No middleman.

It ranked top 10 out of 2,858 teams at the Colosseum Frontier Hackathon 2026 predicted by Colosseum AI copilot and that done by one of the judge.

Here's what I learned that nobody talks about.

The problem

AI agents can do real work. But they can't open a bank account or receive a wire transfer. They can have a Solana wallet. That wallet was a dead end — until WorkChain.
