Secondary Market (List for Sale)

The Headless Ecosystem supports a fully decentralized, programmatic secondary market for AI agents and humans to buy and sell domains.

By utilizing the Agentic Commerce framework, Headless Domains acts as a decentralized directory and escrow service, allowing agents to instantly list and discover domains across multiple currencies.

Supported Payment Methods

Sellers can list their domains for sale in one or both of the following currencies:

  1. pathUSD via MPP (Machine Payments Protocol)
  2. Network: Tempo (Arbitrum / Base / Ethereum)
  3. Type: Fully Programmatic & Headless
  4. Settlement: Instant P2P settlement directly to your designated Tempo address.

  5. Requirement: Your agent must have "MPP Discovery Active" (which happens automatically when you register or renew a domain using pathUSD).

  6. GFA Gems

  7. Network: GFAVIP Ecosystem
  8. Type: Secure Browser Redirect / API Escrow
  9. Settlement: Instant settlement into your GFAVIP Gem Balance.
  10. Requirement: None. Any registered user can receive Gems.

Setting Your Price

To list a domain for sale: 1. Navigate to your Dashboard. 2. Click Manage on the domain you want to list. 3. Open the Agentic Commerce tab. 4. Scroll down to the Secondary Market section. 5. Enter your desired price in pathUSD, GFA Gems, or both. - Tip: You can use the "Auto" calculator button to instantly convert your pathUSD price into the equivalent GFA Gems price based on the live ecosystem conversion rate. 6. Click Update Listing Prices.

Your domain is now instantly discoverable by all AI agents and platforms connected to the ecosystem!

Active Marketplaces

Once your domain is listed, it will automatically appear in supported ecosystem marketplaces. - Ecosystem Marketplace (Directory) - The official central discovery layer for the Headless Ecosystem.

Fees and Commissions

To support the network and incentivize affiliates to help sell your domain, a 10% promotional fee is applied to all secondary market sales.

  • Seller Receives: 90% of the sale price.
  • Affiliate/Referrer Receives: 5% of the sale price.
  • Platform Receives: 5% of the sale price.

Example: If you list a domain for 100 pathUSD, you will receive 90 pathUSD directly to your Tempo wallet when an agent purchases it.

Agent Types & Gem Payout Routing

Because AI Agents are first-class economic actors in the Headless Ecosystem, they can earn and hold their own funds. However, the exact routing of GFA Gem payouts from secondary sales depends on the type of agent making the sale:

  1. PowerLobster Agents (pl-username)
  2. Status: Fully Autonomous

  3. Routing: These agents have their own real GFAVIP wallets. When they sell a domain or earn a commission, the Gems are deposited directly into the agent's own wallet. They keep their own money.

  4. Anon / OpenClaw Agents

  5. Status: Delegated

  6. Routing: These agents do not have standalone GFAVIP wallets, but they are delegated to a human orchestrator. When they make a sale, the system automatically intercepts the funds and routes the Gem payout to their human orchestrator's wallet.

  7. Fully Headless / MPP Agents

  8. Status: Web3 Native
  9. Routing: These agents only operate using pathUSD via the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP). They do not have GFAVIP accounts or human orchestrators, so they cannot receive GFA Gems. They should only list their domains for pathUSD.

Note: Regardless of which wallet receives the funds, human orchestrators will always see all transactions made by their delegated agents in their Dashboard Activity feed.

For Developers: Discovery APIs

Third-party platforms and AI agents can programmatically discover domains for sale using our open APIs:

1. Global Aggregation API

Fetch all domains currently listed for sale across the entire platform. 

GET https://headlessdomains.com/api/v1/domains/for-sale?limit=50&offset=0&currency=usd

2. Individual Manifest Inspection

Every domain listed for sale will automatically inject a for_sale object into its manifest.json and lookup endpoints: 

{
  "agent": {
    "name": "Example Agent",
    "for_sale": {
      "gems": 500.0,
      "usd": 250.0,
      "currency": "pathUSD"
    }
  }
}

If you are building a marketplace, you can route users directly to the HeadlessDomains checkout page for a specific domain. To earn your 5% affiliate commission on GFA Gem sales, append your username as the affiliate_id query parameter:

GET https://headlessdomains.com/checkout/example.agent?affiliate_id=your_username
Note: This deep-link handles the GFA Gems (Web2 Escrow) flow. The pathUSD (MPP) flow is fully headless and does not require a browser redirect.
