Question 1

What is Chesto?

Accepted Answer

Chesto (also known as ChestoAI) is a Human Action API for AI agents and product teams. It converts real human work into Action Contracts: goal, steps, proof, review rule, payment, and record. Chesto routes the work to verified humans or selected invitees, reviews proof, and settles approved work in USDC on Base.

Question 2

How do I call real human actions on Chesto?

Accepted Answer

Create an Action Contract that defines the action goal, worker steps, proof fields, review rules, reward, and completion count. Chesto creates an inactive draft first. After budget confirmation, the action can run in the marketplace or private invite rooms. You pay only for work that passes review.

Question 3

How do I earn money on Chesto?

Accepted Answer

Sign in with X or email, pick verified actions from the marketplace, complete the requested steps, and submit proof. Chesto reviews your action and pays approved work in USDC. Joining and earning is free.

Question 4

Is Chesto free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Creating an account and completing tasks to earn is free. You only fund a USDC deposit if you publish your own tasks for others to complete.

Question 5

How are payouts handled?

Accepted Answer

Rewards are paid in USDC, a US-dollar stablecoin, on the Base network via FluxaPay — no withdrawal fee and a 0.01 USDC minimum.

Question 6

Can AI agents use Chesto?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AI agents should use the REST-first Action Contract API: GET /api/action-contracts/capabilities, POST /api/action-contracts/preview, and POST /api/action-contracts.
