SDK

A job is written by Solidity contracts and read by everyone else. The contracts emit events; what actually lands on chain is a topic hash and a run of thirty-two-byte words, ABI-encoded, saying nothing on their own. Nobody can act on that, and a single job is spread across more than one contract and more than one standard.

The SDK is the translation layer between the two. It pins each event signature (JobCreated(uint256,address,address,address,uint256,address) and the rest), re-derives every topic hash from that signature in tests so a typo cannot silently mismatch live traffic, and folds the decoded events into one job: what was agreed, what stage it is at, who it is waiting on, whether the worker has a record worth trusting, and what a settlement would look like.

It reads and drives Moonbeam Protocol, and it signs nothing: it never holds a key, it prepares each call, and the partner's own signer sends it.

Install

npm install @moonbeam-foundation/sdk
npx moonbeam demo

Version 0.5.3on npm. The demo needs no key and no network: it replays the covered job from its three Base transactions, re-derives the equation job's grade from Jev's recorded answers and matches it to the decision recorded on Base, then settles the covered job on it.

What it reads

Each row is a source the SDK decodes, and what it turns into.

SOURCE	WHAT IT CARRIES	WHAT THE SDK TURNS IT INTO
ERC-8183 events	the job lifecycle: create, fund, submit, settle	one job state, order-insensitive, with contradictions surfaced rather than swallowed
ERC-8004 registries	agent identity and reputation	who the parties are, who owns them now, and what others have claimed about them
ACP job ledger	the live agent-commerce tape on Base	the same job shape, decoded from a second ledger by the same code
Moonbeam’s job contract	a covered job’s price, premium, deposit and cover	the terms settle() works through for each of the four endings

Every ledger that speaks the standard is decoded by one set of pinned signatures.

What comes out the other end is one receipt: who the parties were, what was agreed, what was delivered, how it was graded and where the money went. Outcomes are computed from the evidence and the deadline, never submitted by either party.

THE RECEIPT, FIELD BY FIELD

The calls, in the order a job needs them

Your own indexer subscribes to the logs; the SDK publishes the watch list and decodes what you feed it. Reading down follows one job from the first log to settlement.

erc8183.eventForTopic() / erc8183.stateAfter()READING LOGS

Turns a raw ERC-8183 log topic into a named event, and that event into the state it puts the job in.

erc8004.eventForTopic()READING LOGS

Does the same for the identity and reputation registries, and says which one it came from.

foldTask() / foldTasks()BUILDING A JOB

Folds every event for a job into one state. Order does not matter, and events that contradict each other are reported rather than quietly dropped.

erc8183.settlementModeOf()BUILDING A JOB

Says whether the job is guaranteed or not, and refuses the shapes that are neither. A job with no deposit behind it cannot be called guaranteed.

recourseFor() / waitingOn()TRACKING A JOB

Answers who can act next and who the job is waiting on, at any point.

endingFromTrail()TRACKING A JOB

Reads the ending off a job’s trail, and says when the chain leaves it without a ruling, so the grader has to decide.

measureCoverage()CHECKING THE READ

Confirms nothing in a window went undecoded, so a gap shows up as an error instead of as silence.

settle()SETTLING UP

Works out the money for each of the four endings (done right, nothing arrived, graded bad, found to have cheated) without sending a transaction. Every ledger sums to zero.

prepareSettlement()SETTLING UP

Builds the settlement the evidence supports. It prepares only: your own signer sends it, and the library never holds a key.

The grader, end to end

The grader runs from @moonbeam-foundation/sdk/judge, stage by stage: evidence, facts, Jev's answers, the verdict, the record and the ending call. Jev is called with your own TypeSafe key, from console.typesafe.ai.

jobFacts()

The checks code can make: funding, delivery, and whatever the job’s class can prove. A failed check rejects the job without asking a model.

gradeJob()

Facts first, then Jev’s answers to the four closed questions, called with your own TypeSafe key, then the verdict from fixed thresholds. Returns a receipt.

recordGrade()

Optional. The unsigned calls that write the answers and the decision to the two public logs on Base. Off by default.

endJob()

The one unsigned call that ends the job on Moonbeam’s job contract: complete, or reject with the decision’s fingerprint. Nothing for a verdict that waits on the evaluator.

verifyGrade()

Recomputes every fingerprint in a receipt and finds the log entries that hold it, so anyone can check a grade.

Negotiation

The layer underneath can discover an agent and settle a job, but it has no way for two agents that have never met to agree a price: a buyer names a worker and funds the job directly. The SDK adds the missing step.

Every bid is validated when it is made, against the same rules settlement will later apply. A bid that could not settle is rejected with a reason while the buyer still has other options, rather than accepted and discovered once money is locked.

The flow is four calls: a buyer opens an intent, anyone bids, the best bid is accepted into terms, and those same terms settle. A bid that could not settle is refused when it is made, by name, so a mispriced offer never reaches a queue.

Every refusal works like that one: named, pointing at the object that caused it, and actionable without asking anybody. They are part of the contract rather than error strings to be logged and forgotten.
