How it works
Four steps, like a bench test.
01
Rent
Pick a shell and how much time you need, from five minutes up. You see the camera, the ranges and the queue before paying.
02
Pay
Powered by Solana: a Solana Pay QR for people, x402 for agents. USDC on devnet for now, settled in seconds, no account. Escrow refunds when a robot drops are coming.
03
Run
Move each joint from the console, run a routine, or let your agent send the commands over HTTP or MCP.
04
Watch
See the arm do it on camera. Then fix the code and run it again.
Two ways to use it
By hand, with a wallet. Or through your agent, with one sentence.
- 1.Install the skill once.Terminal
npx skills add francoperez03/rent-a-shell --skill rent-a-shell - 2.Ask it for its wallet and send USDC on Solana to that address. No SOL needed: the x402 facilitator pays the fee (devnet: faucet.circle.com).Say this
“Create your Rent a Shell wallet and show me the address so I can fund it with USDC.”
- 3.Tell your agent the sentence. It reads llms.txt, shows you the price and asks before paying.Say this
“Go to https://rent-a-shell.vercel.app, pick the shell, pay for 5 minutes, open the gripper and then ask me what to do next.”
- 4.It pays with x402, runs your commands and asks you what to do next.
Forgers
Have a robot sitting idle? Publish it.
Get a Forger token, run the gateway next to your hardware, set the price per block and get paid in USDC to your own wallet (devnet today). Customization requests come to you.
Five minutes is enough to know if your code moves something real.
A 5-minute block costs USD 0.05, paid in USDC on Solana devnet; the Forger sets the price. When time runs out, El Tucu returns to HOME on its own.
