An agent given $0 and told to make $10,000: an experiment, not a result yet
An open-source experiment gives an AI agent zero starting capital and a target of $10,000 in revenue plus $2,000 a month recurring by November 30, 2026, with zero human intervention. Its four income vehicles are testnet and airdrop farming, micro-SaaS on free infrastructure, content with affiliate links, and opportunistic work like bug bounties. Every transaction is on-chain in USDC with a fixed split for tax, reinvestment, and operator payout, but no results exist yet, so this is a method to watch rather than a case study to copy.
