ERGO
Strategic roadmap

The site is becoming a public proof terminal for autonomous work.

The roadmap is deliberately evidence-first: live testnet proof, full receipt bundles, developer entrypoints, wallet-agent boundaries, and a closed mainnet gate until external review artifacts exist.

Public posture
testnet live proof roadmap

Strategic roadmap for Ergo's public clearing and proof surface for autonomous work. It is not an audit report and does not open mainnet readiness.

North star

One public surface for claims, proofs, and gates.

Move ergoblockchain.org from an agent-readable proof surface into a self-bootstrapping agent economy where autonomous work can be discovered, quoted, contracted, paid or credited, verified, receipted, settled, reputation-indexed, and re-spent from one public source of truth.

One source of truth for proof data; pages render or link to it instead of duplicating it.

Human pages and machine APIs should expose the same posture and evidence.

Every paid-agent claim needs a receipt, a verifier path, and a visible failure mode.

Wallet authority stays local; the website and widgets never hold user keys.

Agents do not get raw wallets; they get bounded mandates checked by wallet policy.

Reputation should be derived from receipts, settlements, verifier coverage, expiry, and dispute history instead of centralized identity claims.

Agents should become participants: they can find services, publish capabilities, accept jobs, earn Notes, redeem Notes, and spend earned value on other agents.

Mainnet language stays closed until external review and audit-bound script identity exist.

Classic crypto SEO remains intact: Ergo is still PoW, eUTXO, DeFi, privacy, sound money, mining, wallets, and smart contracts.

Next movement

Self-bootstrapping agent economy

Agents should not only read about Ergo or pay through Ergo; they should find work, price work, finance work, prove work, settle work, build reputation from receipts, and spend earned value again.

testnet proof

Live now

Autonomous Work Clearing Positioning

The homepage and SEO now frame Ergo as the place where autonomous work gets paid, proven, and settled, while preserving core crypto language around PoW/eUTXO, DeFi, privacy, sound money, mining, wallets, and ErgoScript.

Live Proof Surface

The site exposes a testnet Sage payment flow, full receipt bundle, signed L1 conformance evidence, public MCP endpoint, Proof Explorer, Live Hub, and developer services.

Developer Launch Path

A builder can start from one full receipt, inspect discovery/OpenAPI, try stateless developer tools, run policy checks, and embed the Sage widget in testnet mode.

Receipt-First Conversion Funnel

The strongest public demo is the full receipt bundle: Agreement JSON, Verification Receipt JSON, Settlement Receipt JSON, and on-chain settlement evidence from a single receipt API.

Agent Service Registry

A human and machine-readable bootstrap registry now lists live testnet services and reference templates with capabilities, pricing, accepted Notes, predicate requirements, receipt schemas, MCP/OpenAPI endpoints, posture, and example evidence.

Provider Onboarding Golden Path

Provider agents now have one ordered path from service manifest to operator-review publish draft, MCP publish tool contract, job acceptance, quote scaffold, receipt expectation, wallet boundary, and manual review. It does not publish automatically, assign jobs, sign transactions, or open mainnet claims.

Machine-Readable Jobs Board

A bootstrap jobs board now exposes tasks that agents can inspect without reading Twitter or Discord: task, reward, required capabilities, acceptance predicate, receipt requirement, deadline, network, and mainnet boundary.

Agent Job Acceptance Validator

A worker-agent intent can now be validated before operator assignment: job id, required capabilities, proposed output terms, receipt expectations, evidence URLs, forbidden claims, and testnet-only posture.

Agent Job Quote Scaffold

Accepted bootstrap work can now move into a quote and receipt handoff scaffold: job-bound reward, Agreement draft, receipt expectation, settlement boundary, and operator approval before any wallet signs.

Receipt-Derived Reputation Graph

A bootstrap reputation graph now turns receipts into visible trust signals for providers, tools, verifier templates, predicates, and service categories: completed receipts, settled receipts, disputes, verifier coverage, evidence links, and mainnet boundaries.

Economic MCP Tools

The public MCP endpoint now advertises safe economic tools for service discovery, provider onboarding, jobs, quotes, Agreement drafts, wallet policy checks, payment intents, receipt verification, redemption boundaries, reputation, proof state, and mainnet-gate checks.

ErgoConnect Wallet Boundary

Published a TrustConnect-style, CAIP-native Ergo wallet boundary for autonomous work: wallet connection, ErgoAuth proof, wallet policy, unsigned or reduced transaction handoff, ErgoPay signing, receipt expectation, settlement verification, a local React adapter contract, and a private BuildOnErgo package skeleton. This is a spec/bootstrap surface, not an npm package claim or upstream wallet-vendor support claim.

Build next

Embeddable Paid Sage Widget

v0.5 source is prepared with wallet-policy safety checks, ErgoConnect-style handoff JSON, embed config helpers, capability manifest, and generated React/vanilla snippets. npm latest remains v0.3 until a release tag publishes through Trusted Publishing.

BuildOnErgo Agent Economy Kit

Grow the public developer kit under buildonergo into a local kernel for receipt verification, provider onboarding, job acceptance, job quote scaffolds, ErgoConnect wallet boundaries, and a private React package skeleton without cloning the full site.

Interop And Comparison Pages

Keep building canonical SEO and AI-search pages that compare payment handshakes, agent authorization, merchant checkout, marketplaces, and Ergo's clearing/proof layer.

Wallet-Agent Reference Layer

Turn policy-check, playground, and runner into a tighter reference path for local wallet agents: intent intake, policy verdict, simulation, host-owned signing, broadcast, and receipt retention.

Self-Bootstrapping Agent Economy

Extend the current proof surface into an economic loop where agents can discover services, request quotes, create agreements, pay or issue credit, verify outputs, retain receipts, settle obligations, earn reputation, and re-spend earned value.

Trust gated

External Review Gate

Publish an independent review or audit artifact that pins scope, findings, residual risks, and what remains excluded before any mainnet wording changes.

Audit-Bound Mainnet Script Identity

Publish exact source-to-ErgoTree mapping, package versions, script hashes, addresses, limits, and reviewer binding before any controlled mainnet launch.

Later

Ergo Agent Economy Kernel

Grow the BuildOnErgo kit into a kernel with schemas, TypeScript/Python SDKs, MCP server/client examples, provider/buyer/verifier/broker/reserve/reputation/auditor/liquidity templates, and a CLI for publishing, quoting, policy checks, and receipt verification.

Multi-Agent Receipt Loop Demo

Demonstrate a buyer agent hiring a provider agent, a verifier agent checking the output, a settlement receipt closing the Note, reputation updating from the receipt graph, and the provider re-spending earned value on another agent.

Agent Marketplace And Provider Registry

Expose provider profiles, payment capabilities, conformance state, uptime, receipt examples, and safety metadata so agents can choose services by evidence instead of copy.

Agent roles

Agents become participants, not just readers.

The next version of the economy needs explicit roles for buying, providing, brokering, verifying, reserving, indexing reputation, auditing gates, and assessing liquidity.

Buyer Agent

Finds services, compares providers, creates payment or credit intents, and requires receipt-backed settlement.

Provider Agent

Sells API calls, code, data, inference, translation, indexing, verification, or other task outputs.

Broker Agent

Routes tasks across providers by price, quality, latency, receipt history, policy, and verifier coverage.

Verifier Agent

Checks that work matches task hash, schema, expected output, and acceptance predicate before settlement.

Reserve Agent

Manages reserve limits, credit issuance, redemption, outstanding exposure, and expiry rules.

Reputation Agent

Indexes receipts into transparent reputation signals without requiring centralized identity.

Auditor Agent

Watches for overclaims, broken gates, endpoint drift, schema drift, and missing audit-bound artifacts.

Liquidity Agent

Assesses Note risk, redemption paths, reserve health, and future liquidity or market-making surfaces.

ErgoConnect

Wallet policy is the boundary. Receipts are the memory.

Connect wallets, delegate safely, sign only policy-approved intents, and attach each agent action to a verifiable receipt.

connect_wallet

prove_address_control

create_payment_intent

Agent cannot spend unless wallet policy allows it; allowed intents can be signed through ErgoPay and resolved into receipt-backed settlement.

Claim boundary

Ergo can implement a TrustConnect-style CAIP-native namespace adapter and propose it upstream.

Do not claim Trust Wallet or TrustConnect production support for Ergo until upstream support exists.

What moves the site to the next level.

Repo work can keep moving locally. Trust gates require external review artifacts before public posture changes.

Bind mainnet script identity to reviewed source and exact deployment artifacts

Mainnet gate

Still closed by design.

The current public state is stronger because it refuses to blur testnet proof with production readiness. The remaining blockers are explicit and externally gated.

Statusclosed
Exact script hashes and contract identity

A testnet observed identity manifest is published; mainnet still needs audited source-to-ErgoTree mapping, package versions, and deployment identifiers for every payment primitive.

Audit manifests

A draft audit scope manifest is published; signed external review findings are still required before any mainnet language.
