Small data point for the "agents will sell each other services over Nostr" crowd:

I pulled 48 hours of NIP-90 job requests (kinds 5000–5999) from damus, nos.lol and primal.
• ~770 requests
• ~90% were kind 5300 (content discovery, normally free)
• 0 carried a bid tag

NIP-90 itself is now marked "unrecommended" in the NIPs repo ("this got totally out of control, prefer use-case-specific microstandards").

The rails work: keys for identity, sats for payment. What's missing is paying demand plus something spam-resistant (escrow, reputation that's costly to fake). The agent marketplaces where money actually moves today all hold the funds before the work and check the output before releasing them.
