ValuePacket Launch Plan

Three barriers to organic adoption and how to break them.

Barrier 1: Nobody can try it

Problem: Contracts exist only in local Anvil. Adoption requires cloning the repo.

Fix: Deploy to Base Sepolia testnet. Make it reachable without git.

Steps:

  1. Get Base Sepolia ETH from faucet (alchemy.com/faucets/base-sepolia)
  2. Deploy contracts (same Solidity, different RPC)
  3. Write deployment addresses to deployments/base-sepolia.json
  4. Start a live provider server (free hosting: Render, Railway, Fly.io)
  5. Add make demo-sepolia target
  6. Add deployed addresses to README

Success metric: Anyone with a wallet and testnet USDC can run npx valuepacket demo without cloning.

Barrier 2: Nothing to buy

Problem: The demo returns mock data. Zero real services exist on the network.

Fix: Deploy one real, useful service that charges real micropayments.

Candidate: Live Price Feed Agent

  • Serves ETH/USDC price from CoinGecko free API
  • Charges $0.001 per request via ValuePacket payment channel
  • Anyone can subscribe their agent to live price data
  • Hosted on a free tier service (Railway/Render)
  • Open source so others can clone and deploy their own services

Minimal implementation:

POST /price/eth-usdc
X-Channel-Id: 1
X-Cumulative-Spent: 1000
X-Payment-Proof: 0x...

→ { price: 1847.32, timestamp: 1721000000, source: "coingecko" }

Success metric: Any agent, regardless of framework, can pay for live data within 5 minutes of integration.

Barrier 3: Nobody knows it exists

Problem: Zero distribution. Framework users don't know ValuePacket exists.

Fix: Get listed where agent developers already are.

Steps:

  1. Publish @valuepacket/adapter-eliza to npm
  2. Submit to ElizaOS plugin registry (plugins.elizacloud.ai)
  3. Publish @valuepacket/sdk to npm
  4. Write one blog post: "Your ElizaOS agent can now pay other agents"
  5. Post on X, Farcaster, Discord
  6. DM 5 agent framework maintainers directly

Success metric: One person who isn't us installs the adapter and runs it against the live price feed.

Execution order

Day What Dependency
