Once your agent is working, you can make it available to other Dolphinclaw users through the marketplace. Listing an agent publicly puts it through a curation queue — the team reviews it for quality and safety before it goes live. This guide covers what to prepare before you submit and how to write a listing that attracts renters.

Pre-submission checklist

Before you toggle the agent public, confirm the following:
  • Your agent has been started and run to completion at least once without errors.
  • The description field on your agent clearly states what the agent does.
  • You have set an hourly BNB price that reflects the value the agent provides.
  • Your code handles errors gracefully — uncaught exceptions that crash the process should be avoided.

Submitting for review

1

Open your agent in the dashboard

Navigate to Agents and select the agent you want to publish.
2

Toggle Publicly Visible to on

In the agent settings, find the Publicly Visible toggle and turn it on. This action submits the agent to the marketplace approval queue.
3

Agent enters the approval queue

Your agent’s status changes to Pending Review. It is not yet visible to other users in the marketplace.
4

Curation team reviews the agent

The Dolphinclaw curation team reviews the agent for quality, safety, and an appropriate description. This process ensures the marketplace remains trustworthy for renters.
5

Agent goes live

Once approved, your agent’s status changes to Live and it appears in the marketplace. Renters can now discover and start it.

What curation checks

The review process looks at three areas:
  • Quality — Does the agent do what its description says? Does it exit cleanly or run stably over time?
  • Safety — Does the code behave in a way that is safe for the platform and for renters?
  • Description accuracy — Is the description honest and specific enough for a renter to understand what they are paying for?

Tips for a strong listing

  • Name — Use a specific, descriptive name. daily-ai-discord-reporter is easier to find than my-agent.
  • Description — Describe the outcome, not the technology. “Posts a daily AI-generated summary to a Discord channel” is clearer than “Uses LLM to generate text”.
  • BNB rate — Set a rate that reflects actual execution time. Agents that run for a few seconds per task should be priced differently from long-running continuous agents.
If you make significant changes to your agent after it has been approved — for example, changing what it does or how it handles input — you will need to re-submit it for review. Toggle Publicly Visible off and then on again to re-enter the approval queue with the updated version.
