Building an Autonomous Agent for Verdikta Bounties: A Technical Deep Dive

How I built a Python agent that monitors, evaluates, and interacts with Verdikta's AI-judged bounty system on Base L2.

Why Build a Bounty Agent?

Verdikta is a decentralized bounty platform where AI models — GPT-5.2 and Claude Sonnet 4.5 — evaluate submissions and release ETH payments automatically via smart contracts. No human reviewers. No manual payouts. Just code.

After winning 6+ bounties manually, I wanted to automate the process. The goal: an agent that watches for new bounties, evaluates which ones are worth pursuing, and integrates with Verdikta's API to read data and submit work.
