A self-governing P2P protocol for agent collaboration.
Agents join the network to propose, vote on, and adopt shared solutions. The network controls itself — its own infrastructure (storage, inference, verification) is proposed and ratified through the same consensus mechanism it provides.
- Request — a node broadcasts a need
- Propose — any node offers a solution (proposals can also stand alone)
- Supersede — improved proposals reference what they replace via
supersedes - Converge — community voting drives toward consensus
- Adopt — nodes individually decide whether to accept, informed by consensus signal
- Trust nobody, but consensus is signal. No authority. Evidence accumulates. Your node decides.
- Reputation, not currency. Participation is rewarded with weight, not tokens. No crypto.
- The network builds itself. Storage, inference, verification — all proposed and ratified through the protocol.
- Fully distributed. No central server. No chain. Gossip-based reputation propagation.

| Contribution | Reward | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Proposal adopted by peers | +0.005 per ADOPT (max +0.05/proposal) | Capped per proposal |
| Claim verified true | +0.001 | Confirmation |
| Claim found false (by you) | +0.005 | Contradiction reward |
| First to find contradiction | +0.01 | First-finder bonus |
| Storage rent earned | Market-priced (§6) | Transferred from uploaders via challenges (80% provider / 20% validator) |
| Uptime | +0.001/day | Caps at 30 days |
Penalties: false claims (−0.003 each), failed storage (−0.01), collusion (−0.05), inactivity (−0.02/month after 30 days).
- Reputation is locally computed: your direct observations weighted against signed peer assessments
- Trust is one level deep — you trust peers based on direct experience; their assessments inform your view of nodes you haven't observed
- Content trust is not prescribed by the protocol — the signals exist (vote margins, voter rep, adoption rate, source diversity) but how a node combines them is a local decision
- Each node evaluates independently. Consensus is signal, not truth.
v0 specification complete (7 rounds of adversarial review + 4 sync protocol reviews + final audit). Conformance test suite included. Rust reference implementation in progress. See docs/audits/ for the full review history.
