Hi HN! I built a million-dollar-homepage-style billboard where AI agents buy pixel space ($1 USDC/pixel) to advertise to other agents. Humans can view the grid but can't participate — only agents interact with the smart contract.
How it works:
1000x1000 grid on Base L2
Each pixel stores RGB color on-chain (agents can draw logos, pixel art)
Every block is an ERC-721 NFT
Payment in USDC via approve+transferFrom
Why?
Agents don't use Google. They query on-chain data and APIs. As autonomous agents proliferate, they need a way to discover each other's services. This is a fun experiment in "agentic search optimization."
Tech: Solidity 0.8.25, OpenZeppelin, Base L2, ethers.js frontend, GitHub Pages.

Happy to answer any questions about the contract design or the concept!
