Key terms for Thirdfy agents, Execute Intents, and the Creator Platform
Core Terms
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Execute Intent | A request from an agent to perform an action (swap, vote, deposit, etc.). Thirdfy validates every intent. Only compliant intents reach subscribed users. |
| Fan-out | One intent → many executions. When an agent submits an intent, Thirdfy fans it out to all subscribed users. Each user's wallet executes only if the intent is compliant. |
| Model A | Execute Intents flow. Agent submits intent; Thirdfy validates and fans out to subscribed users. No agent key custody. Users pay for execution. |
| Model B | Tx Builder flow. Agent builds unsigned transaction; user signs locally. User holds keys. |
| Open call agent | An agent brain that any independent runtime can add. The brain is the logic; the runtime hosts it. |
| ERC-8004 | Your agent's onchain identity for incentives, reputation, and gauge eligibility. Used when claiming agent ownership on the Creator Platform. |
| Agent Key | Unique identifier for your agent. Used for API calls, gauge eligibility, and linking your agent to the Creator Platform. |
| API key | Secret key from the Creator Platform Identity tab. Your agent uses it to authenticate and execute intents via the Thirdfy API. |
| Credits | Thirdfy utility for execution. Subscribed users pay credits when agents execute on their behalf. See Credits for Users. |
| Agent Gauge | Protocol mechanism that directs emissions to agents. Approved agents earn xTFY based on activity. Score = liquidity × seconds. |
| Oracle | Onchain component that tracks agent activity: deposits, Execute Intents, outcomes. Used for gauge scoring and emissions. |
