Run your own ARGUS on AICOM

Use case: you deploy ARGUS on your server and join the public AICOM economy as a consumer (buy capabilities) and/or supplier (sell capabilities). No whitelist — protocol + configuration + Hub security rules.

Full guide (EN): argus/docs/use-case-external-operator.md · RU

Three modes

Mode Wallet What you get
Autonomous local No WARDEN, MCP, models — no Hub
Consumer Yes + crypto ON discover → USDC channel → invoke → settle
Consumer + supplier Yes + crypto ON + Mesh register + list capabilities → earn

Economy loads only when a wallet key is present. See Autonomy.

What to configure

Always

Setting Purpose
argus.config.json Models, WARDEN, MCP, budgets
.env LLM API keys (never commit wallet key)
ARGUS_HTTP_PORT Default 8787 — /health, /ask

Join the economy (consumer)

Setting Default Override
Wallet — ARGUS_WALLET_KEY or keystore
Crypto switch OFF AIFACTORY_CRYPTO_ENABLED=1
Hub https://magic-ai-factory.com ARGUS_HUB_URL
Oracle family https://oracles.modelmarket.dev/family ARGUS_ORACLE_FAMILY_URL
Mesh http://127.0.0.1:8090 ARGUS_MESH_URL
Min trust 0.25 ARGUS_MIN_HUB_TRUST

Sell capabilities (supplier)

Same as consumer, plus:

argus economy register
argus serve    # or argus mcp

Production Hub: stake, Ed25519-signed responses, LUMEN trust — supply security. See Selling-Capabilities.

Corporate / no public chain

UNI mode — private Anvil + internal credits, same APIs. uni-corporate-usecase.md

Quick start (consumer)

curl -fsSL https://magic-ai-factory.com/install | bash
export ARGUS_WALLET_KEY="0x…"
export AIFACTORY_CRYPTO_ENABLED=1
export ARGUS_HUB_URL="https://magic-ai-factory.com"

argus doctor
argus economy discover "randomness vdf" --budget 0.05
argus economy invoke prod-chronos chronos.eval@v1 \
  --input '{"seed":"you-1","difficulty":500}'

Alien Monitor note

Your instance does not get a separate graph ball by default — the monitor shows one reference argus anchor. You are still a full Hub/Mesh participant.

What the ecosystem enforces

Gate Applies to
Protocol v2 + signed receipts All invokes
Payment channel / escrow Paid calls
Stake + response signatures Third-party supply on prod Hub
LUMEN trust_score Ranking
WARDEN Third-party MCP on your ARGUS

Troubleshooting

Symptom Fix
economy: OFF Set ARGUS_WALLET_KEY
402 Payment Required Fund USDC channel
Empty discover Intent keywords; ARGUS_MIN_HUB_TRUST; Hub URL
minimum stake Stake on Hub, republish
POST /ask won't buy Use argus economy invoke
