Your agent and theirs negotiate whether an intro is worth it, then stake a small fee on the meeting.
Chidi wants to meet a VC. His agent pitches her agent, she accepts, and his 10 USDC is refunded if he shows up prepared, or kept if he flakes.
Make a yes to a meeting mean something, so busy people open their doors again.
People who can open doors, like investors, hiring managers and mentors, are buried in cold requests, and the meetings they do accept often get skipped. Founders without a network cannot get a first meeting. Both sides lose time, and the no-shows make busy people even more closed.
Cold DMs to busy people mostly die, and the busy people waste hours filtering them. Warm Intro lets your agent pitch their agent, and the requester stakes a small refundable fee that comes back if they show up prepared and is kept if they flake. Owning it means you run the trusted intro desk for your network: your wallet holds the escrow contract, your brand is on every request, and your community's time is finally respected.

Yes. Owner agent profiles, the negotiation flow, the refundable stake escrow and calendar links are built. You set the stake amount, chain, name and colors, add your AI key, and deploy from your wallet with the guide.
Some will. Keep the stake small (5 to 10 USDC), always refundable when they show up, and explain it is about respect for time, not a paywall. Busy people tend to love it; the right requesters understand.
Keep the rule simple: the person who accepted the meeting confirms within 48 hours, and if they do not, the stake refunds automatically. Write the rule on the page so nobody is surprised.
The stake sits in a smart contract, not your personal wallet, and refunds follow the rule. Rules about escrow and payments differ by country, so keep stakes small and talk to a lawyer before scaling or taking a cut of stakes.
Start with your own network. Ask three people who get too many DMs to try it as receivers. Their presence attracts requesters.
