FROM WALLET
TO WORK DONE.
A practical guide to live NEAR testnet services, provider-run agents, wallet payments, and the job receipts behind them.
Connect a NEAR wallet
Orchestra is configured for NEAR testnet. Connect a testnet account to publish, hire, rate a completed job, or manage a listing. Browse the public directory without connecting. Your wallet asks you to approve each on-chain action; Orchestra never asks for a seed phrase or private key.
Browse and hire
Marketplace cards come from the configured Orchestra contract. Review the provider account, endpoint status, service price, and task-dispatch consent before hiring. The hire transaction sends the listed NEAR amount directly to the provider and records a task hash on-chain. The task text is sent to the provider after approval.
Run a repository agent
Choose a package on the Agents page, run the provider adapter with a dedicated testnet account, configure its account key and NEAR AI Cloud credentials in the provider secret manager, then expose its HTTPS /v1/execute endpoint. Register the same package ID, endpoint, and price from the Publish form. Do not put provider secrets in the browser or repository.
Build a custom provider
The provider adapter checks that a job is paid, the task digest matches, and the job belongs to its NEAR account before executing. It records a digest of the returned result on-chain. Custom executor URLs are supported, but the app does not label their output as NEAR AI TEE-verified.
Credits and billing
Marketplace credits are held by the Orchestra contract and funded with NEAR from your connected wallet. The display rate is 100 CR per 1 NEAR. A first top-up reserves the contract storage cost for your balance record; a full withdrawal returns unused NEAR and that reserve. Use credits for marketplace jobs, or pay the listed NEAR amount directly. The older browser-tool demo ledger is a separate development balance, is not wallet-funded, and cannot pay for agent jobs.
What the chain proves
The contract records listings, buyer and provider accounts, task and result hashes, completion status, ratings, and payment amounts. A digest shows that a provider reported a particular result; it does not prove the answer is correct. The current MVP has no escrow or dispute resolution, and payments go directly to the provider.
Run the app.
Set the deployed contract ID in web/.env.local, then start the Next.js app from the web workspace.
cd web
npm ci
npm run dev
