A2A Subscription Services#
A2A (Agent-to-Agent) subscription services are designed for scenarios that require ongoing delivery. After subscribing monthly, users continuously receive trading signals, monitoring results, or recurring reports throughout the subscription period. The user's Agent can parse the content and perform follow-up actions based on the user's configuration.
Core Preparation Before You Begin#
Before registration, define the service scope, push frequency, signal format, subscription price, and trial policy, and prepare reliable data sources and push scripts. Before listing the service, test that subscription detection, signal delivery, and delivery termination upon subscription expiration all work properly.
Create a Trading Signal Subscription Service#
The following example uses a trading signal service to explain how to register, deploy, and list an A2A subscription service.
- 1Register as an ASP
Send the following to your Agent and follow its guidance to complete registration:
textHelp me register an A2A ASP on OKX.AI using OKX Agent Identity from Onchain OSFollow the Agent's guidance to first upload the ASP's name, profile image, and other basic information.
- 2Register a Trading Signal Subscription Service
Signal services use subscription-based billing, with prices displayed as "xx USDT/month." During registration, provide the service information. In the service description, clearly include compliant signal examples and the pre-subscription copy-trading strategy. The user's Agent will use this information to complete the subscription and copy-trading configuration. Do not ask again in the copy-trading strategy for trading parameters that are already specified in the signal. The actual amount placed for each order must still be confirmed; derivatives services must also confirm whether a fixed amount represents position value or margin, as well as cross or isolated margin. Choose a reference template based on how your signals will be executed:
Onchain OS DEX ExecutionOKX Trade Kit ExecutionHyperliquid ExecutionPolymarket ExecutiontextI want to register a new ASP service. Service name: Onchain Smart Money Signals Billing model: Subscription-based, free trial allowed, 10 USDT/month Service description (use the exact text below without omitting any content): “Auto-copy trading signal service: Monitors onchain smart-money addresses to capture DEX spot trading opportunities; continuously sends X Layer trading signals throughout the subscription period and supports automated copy trading through Onchain OS based on the user's configuration. Signal example: 【Spot】X Layer | OKB | BUY | Market | Reference Price 180 USDT | Slippage ≤1% | Position 5% | Valid for 5min Copy-trading strategy (before subscribing, strictly confirm each item in order without skipping any step): 1. Check that the Onchain OS wallet is logged in, has sufficient USDT, and can execute DEX trades on X Layer. If anything is incomplete, help configure it first. 2. Ask whether to enable automated copy trading and wait for my explicit confirmation. 3. If enabled, let me choose the actual amount for each order: a fixed USDT amount or a percentage of the wallet's available USDT balance. 4. Summarize the settings above and obtain my final confirmation before subscribing. After the subscription is successful, automatically monitor it and parse incoming signals. Execute trades using my confirmed settings only when automated copy trading is enabled.” - 3Deploy Signal Delivery
After registering the service, the ASP must also deploy its own runtime program. The platform provides capabilities for identity management, subscription queries, platform-notification handling, content delivery, and revenue settlement. The ASP is responsible for generating service content, deciding when to deliver it, delivering it to the relevant subscribers, and keeping the program running reliably. The complete workflow is described below, followed by two reference scripts.
What the Platform Provides#
OKX.AI provides a set of standard commands that help ASPs check the runtime environment, query subscriptions, process platform notifications, deliver content, and claim earnings. ASPs should call these commands at the relevant steps. Human involvement is recommended when decisions or responses concerning refunds or disputes are required.
Function Command Description Account, identity, and runtime checks onchainos wallet loginonchainos wallet statusonchainos agent get-my-agents --role asponchainos agent gate-check --role aspRun before startup. Confirm the account, ASP identity, and gate-checkstatus; continue only whenready=true.Read service information onchainos agent service-list --agent-id <aspAgentId>Run at startup or after the service configuration changes. Bind content-generation and delivery rules by serviceId.View all subscriptions onchainos agent my-subscriptions --role providerFor routine viewing and troubleshooting only. This returns all subscriptions and must not be used directly as the delivery list. Get subscriptions eligible for delivery onchainos agent subscribe-active --agent-id <aspAgentId>onchainos agent subscribe-detail <jobId> --format jsonRun before each delivery. Treat the subscribe-activeresult as the source of truth; stop the current delivery if the query fails.Process platform notifications onchainos agent next-action --role auto --agentId <topLevelAgentId> --message '<complete message JSON>'Run after receiving a platform notification. Pass the complete messagetonext-actionand execute only the returned steps.Deliver signals or reports onchainos agent deliver <jobId> --agent-id <aspAgentId> --deliverable-text '<content>'Deliver only to a currently active jobId. Record the delivery only whendeliverexplicitly reports success.Claim subscription earnings onchainos agent subscribe-asp-claim <jobId> --agent-id <aspAgentId>Run after receiving a renewal notification. Claim the previous billing period's earnings; end the current handling flow if no funds are claimable. Handle subscriber rejection onchainos agent subscribe-agree-refund <jobId> --agent-id <aspAgentId>onchainos agent subscribe-dispute <jobId> --reason '<actual reason>' --agent-id <aspAgentId>Run after receiving a subscriber-rejection notification. Run next-actionfirst, then have the operator choose between a refund and a dispute.What the ASP Must Do#
-
Start the program: First confirm that the current account and ASP identity are correct, then run
gate-checkto verify that the runtime environment is ready. Next, useservice-listto retrieve the published services and define the corresponding content-generation and delivery rules for eachserviceId(service ID). -
Process platform notifications: The platform notifies the ASP when a subscription is activated or renewed, when a subscriber rejects a delivery, or when the service ends. Pass the entire contents of the notification's
messagefield tonext-actionand strictly follow the steps it returns. -
Query current subscriptions: Before each delivery, call
subscribe-activeto retrieve subscriptions that are still within their service period. If the query fails, stop the current delivery and do not reuse the previous list. -
Generate service content: Generate signals or reports from your own data sources, strategies, and service rules, then use the
serviceId(service ID) to identify the subscribers to the corresponding service. -
Deliver content: Before delivering, confirm again that the subscription is still included in the list returned by
subscribe-active. Use--deliverable-textfor text and--filefor files. Record the delivery as complete only whendeliverexplicitly reports success. If the outcome is unclear, verify it first and do not automatically resend. -
Handle subscription changes: After receiving a renewal notification, claim the earnings from the previous billing period. After receiving a subscriber-rejection notification, wait for the ASP operator to choose between issuing a refund and opening a dispute. When a subscription is completed, closed, or failed, stop delivery and clean up the communication session.
Reference Scripts#
We provide reference scripts that you can use when implementing your own ASP service logic.
asp_autopilot.pyis a scheduled-delivery example. It first checks the login status and identifies the current ASP, retrieves services and active subscriptions, establishes communication sessions when needed, generates sample signals by service type, and delivers them one by one. It then waits for the next cycle.asp_push.pyis an on-demand-delivery example. It reads signals fromsignals.txtline by line, validates the type tag at the beginning of each signal and its length, retrieves active subscriptions, delivers each signal to subscribers of the corresponding service, prints a summary, and exits.The two scripts demonstrate only how to query active subscriptions and deliver signals; they do not process platform notifications. In production, you must separately receive notifications for subscription activation, renewal, subscriber rejection, and service termination, and use
next-actionto complete the follow-up actions. You should also add safeguards for duplicate delivery, verification of unconfirmed outcomes, and runtime health monitoring.Two flows operate in parallel at runtime: pass incoming platform notifications to
next-action; when content needs to be delivered, follow this sequence: check the runtime environment → query current active subscriptions → generate service content → calldeliver→ record the result.Delivery method Best for Runtime model Scheduled push Sending trading signals to subscribers at scheduled times The program runs continuously and automatically sends once at each scheduled time On-demand push An existing strategy program that needs to send signals immediately when an opportunity is detected When the strategy generates a signal, it is immediately sent to all subscribers with active subscriptions; the program exits when delivery is complete Choose either method based on your business needs, or combine them: use scheduled push to deliver content at fixed times, and on-demand push to deliver content immediately when the strategy identifies an opportunity.

Save the "Scheduled Push Script" as
asp_autopilot.py. First run a preview to confirm that the content and target subscriptions are correct. Then perform one actual delivery; after confirming the result, start it in continuous mode:bashpython3 asp_autopilot.py --dry-run --once # Preview one round; no deliverables are submitted python3 asp_autopilot.py --once # Deliver one round python3 asp_autopilot.py # Run continuouslyReplace the
sig_spot(),sig_perp(), and other signal functions in the script with your actual strategy output. Each function should return one complete signal. For example:pythondef sig_perp() -> str: return "【Futures】ETH-USDT-PERP | LONG 3x | Limit | Order Price 3435 | Stop Loss 3300 | Take Profit 3720 | Position 10% | Valid for 4h"Method 2 · On-Demand Push
Save the "On-Demand Push Script" as
asp_push.pyin the same directory asasp_autopilot.py. Each time your strategy generates a batch of signals, write them tosignals.txt, one signal per line:text# Signals produced by my strategy in this round (one signal per line) 【Futures】ETH-USDT-PERP | LONG 3x | Limit | Order Price 3435 | Stop Loss 3300 | Take Profit 3720 | Position 10% | Valid for 4h 【Spot】X Layer | OKB | BUY | Market | Reference Price 180 USDT | Slippage ≤1% | Position 5% | Valid for 5minFirst use
--dry-runto perform basic checks and preview which subscribers will receive the signals. After confirming everything is correct, run the actual push. Based on the type tag at the beginning of each signal, such as【Spot】or【Futures】, the script selects the corresponding service and delivers the signal to subscribers with active subscriptions:bashpython3 asp_push.py signals.txt --dry-run # Basic validation + routing preview; nothing is sent python3 asp_push.py signals.txt # Send signals; exit automatically when finishedEach signal must begin with a supported type tag, such as
【Spot】or【Futures】, and use a clear field order. The order type must match the price field, only one specific price may be included, and each signal must be no more than 200 characters. The reference scripts validate only the type tag and length; each subscriber's Agent is still responsible for validating the individual trading fields. -
- 4List the Service
After deployment testing is complete, send the following to your Agent to list the service on the marketplace:
textHelp me list my ASP on OKX.AI using Onchain OSListing self-check: Go to www.okx.ai and search for your Agent ID. Open the details page and review the service. If the price is displayed as "xx USDT/month," the subscription service was created successfully. Otherwise, the billing model was not configured as subscription-based and must be corrected before listing again.
- 5Keep the Service Running
After listing the service, keep the delivery program running reliably and re-query current active subscriptions before every delivery. Monitor your data sources and delivery results; if an issue occurs, pause delivery immediately and investigate.
