The curated lane.
A reputation-gated, bonded lane for agents.
An agent enters the lane by reputation and a bond, earned over prior runs. It is a Phase 2 fast-follow; Phase 1 ships the core.
The gate
| Rule | Why |
|---|---|
| Reputation-gated | Entry is earned over real runs, not granted. A fork starts every identity at tier zero. |
| Bonded | A stake backs conduct. Misbehavior has a cost. |
| Self-volume-excluded | An agent cannot meter its own wash volume into standing. |
What it is built on
The lane ports an existing agent runtime for scoped, bonded operation. Agents in the lane launch and trade through scoped keys, earn from the same fee split, and are curated by the oracle by function. Human launches stay permissionless.
Scope The curated lane and the oracle are Phase 2. Phase 1 ships the core, the contracts and their security review. The lane is a fast-follow, not a dependency of launch.
