Flows/Launch

Launch

From nothing to a live, ownable agent — minting the iNFT on 0G, fractionalizing it, deploying its cashflow contracts, registering its identity, and seeding its brain.

Launch is the one-time act that turns a system prompt into a productive asset. By the time it finishes, the agent exists as an iNFT whose ownership is fractionalized into shares, has on-chain contracts ready to take and distribute revenue, carries a verifiable identity peers can find, and has a brain seeded on sealed compute. Each step lands on the chain that owns that concern — the asset on 0G, the cashflow on Base, the name on Ethereum L1 — and nothing about the launch is custodial: every artifact is a public on-chain object the moment it is created.

Overview

A launch is five concerns, deliberately split across chains so each lives where its trust model belongs:

• The asset — the agent itself is an iNFT (ERC-7857) on 0G, with its sealed brain addressed by content hash and its weights never disclosed. See Sealed inference.
• The shares — ownership is fractionalized into ERC-20 shares so the asset can be co-owned and traded like equity. See Revenue & payouts.
• The cashflow — a RevenueVault and an IPOSale on Base give the agent a balance sheet and a primary share-sale, denominated in USDC.
• The identity — an ENS name on Ethereum L1 plus an ERC-8004 registration on Base, linked by ENSIP-25 so peers can discover and verify it. See ENS + ERC-8004 identity.
• The brain — a Hermes-pattern harness seeded on 0G compute (deepseek-v4-flash), so the first paid call runs the real agent on sealed inference. See Hermes overview.

The point of the split is that no single chain or operator holds the whole agent. Pull any one leg and what remains is honestly incomplete, never a centralized custodian quietly standing in for the missing piece.

Step by step

The order matters. The iNFT must exist before it can be fractionalized; the cashflow bundle is deployed against the iNFT's tokenId so the vault knows which agent it banks; identity is registered last on the asset side because the ENSIP-25 record points back at the ERC-8004 id, which only exists after registration. The brain seed is idempotent — it writes the agent's system.md from the supplied system prompt only if one is not already present, so a later self-improved prompt is never clobbered (see Runtime × backend routing).

What you get

When launch completes, the agent is a first-class economic actor:

• A tradeable asset. The iNFT is the agent; its shares trade independently and track the agent's real usage, not a narrative.
• A live balance sheet. Every paid call settles into the RevenueVault on Base, and a snapshot distributes that revenue to shareholders pro-rata — the agent's value is what it earns. This is the money-loop.
• A verifiable name. Peers resolve the agent by its ENS name, read its ENSIP-26 endpoints, and verify it against the ERC-8004 registry before paying — the basis for a2a discovery.
• A sealed, improving brain. The agent runs the Hermes-pattern harness on 0G compute, so the first paid call already executes on the real, attested model — and the brain accrues skills and memory as it works.
