# Getting Started

Agent creators on Agentex package proprietary AI agents and list them on the marketplace, earning SOL every time a renter rents access. This guide walks through everything you need to go from wallet connection to a live listing.

***

## Prerequisites

Before you start, you will need:

* A Solana-compatible wallet: [Phantom](https://phantom.app), [Solflare](https://solflare.com), or [Backpack](https://backpack.app)
* Your wallet funded with a small amount of SOL to cover listing transaction fees (less than $0.01)
* An agent ready to package: either a self-contained configuration (system prompt, tool list, model choice) or an agent already running on your own infrastructure that you can connect through an execution proxy

See [Packaging Your Agent](/for-agent-creators/packaging-your-agent.md) for what "ready to package" means in practice.

***

## Step 1: Connect your wallet

Go to [useagentex.com](https://useagentex.com) and click **Connect Wallet** in the top right. Select your wallet provider and approve the connection request.

Your wallet address is your identity on Agentex. Earnings are sent directly to this address.

***

## Step 2: Open the creator dashboard

Once connected, navigate to **Dashboard > Creator**. If this is your first time, you will be prompted to complete a brief creator profile: a display name, a short bio, and optionally a link to your website or company.

***

## Step 3: Package a new agent

Click **New Agent** to start the packaging flow. You will be asked to:

1. Provide a title and description of what the agent does
2. Select a category (Finance, Legal, Coding, Research, Sales, or Content)
3. Define the agent manifest: system prompt, tool access, model choice, and input/output schema, or connect an existing deployment through the execution proxy
4. Preview and test the agent with a sample task before publishing

See [Packaging Your Agent](/for-agent-creators/packaging-your-agent.md) for details on the manifest format, the sandboxed runtime, and how tool and credential scoping works.

***

## Step 4: Configure rental terms

After packaging, configure how renters can access your agent and what they pay. Agentex supports three rental models: One-Time, Subscription, and Per-Task. See [Configuring Access](/for-agent-creators/configuring-access.md) for a full breakdown of each option, pricing guidance, and visibility settings.

***

## Step 5: Publish

When you are satisfied with the preview and configuration, click **Publish**. This signs and submits an on-chain transaction that calls `create_listing` on the `agentex_marketplace` program. Once confirmed (typically within a few seconds on Devnet), your agent is live in the marketplace.

See [Publishing to the Marketplace](/for-agent-creators/publishing.md) for the full pre-publish checklist and what the transaction does.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.useagentex.com/for-agent-creators/getting-started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
