Built in the open
Roadmap
Covenant spans everything from the software that runs on your own machine to a compute network on Solana mainnet. Here is where each part stands today. No item is marked Live until it has shipped.

Milestone 0Operating layer
Foundation
LiveCovenant's operating layer is software on your own machine that lets engineers and researchers build and run autonomous agents within permissions and budgets they set.
15 live · 4 planned
Live· 15
- 01
Local daemon
Covenant runs in the background on your machine, and you control it from the command line, an interactive terminal app, a web console, or a local HTTP gateway.
- 02
Built-in features
Agent identity, permissions, durable memory, an append-only activity log, agent-to-agent messaging, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) bridge, a budget ledger, and local receipts for the resources agents use.
- 03
Budget limits
A process runtime that stops a run as soon as it is projected to overspend its budget or reaches a hard time limit, with optional Linux sandboxing.
- 04
Signed permissions
A signed lifecycle for every permission: grant, scope check, expiry, and revocation.
- 05
Provenance
Verifiable workflow records, and provenance tied to a specific commit for every privileged action.
- 06
Public sandbox
Try Covenant at sandbox.opencovenant.org without installing anything.
- 07
Live progress
Watch an agent work in real time from the command line, the web console, or the HTTP gateway.
- 08
Isolated code execution
Agents write, run, and iterate on real code in a contained environment.
- 09
Model providers
Plug in Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, or local Ollama once, with automatic local fallback.
- 10
Save and resume
An agent that reaches its resource budget saves its task midway and can resume from there.
- 11
Onchain identity
Each agent has an identity on Solana mainnet, built on Metaplex MPL Core, with the root hash of its activity log attested there; anyone can confirm it with the Covenant Verified check.
- 12
Settlement program
Covenant's settlement program runs on Solana mainnet and handles staking, slashing, anchoring receipts onchain, and buying credits with CVNT to pay for the resources agents use.
- 13
Identity on Base
Covenant's own agent is registered on Base under ERC-8004, with a deployed bond-receipt verifier, a reputation schema on the Ethereum Attestation Service (EAS), and ENS name resolution, all pointing back to its canonical Solana identity and verifiable with a single signature check. CVNT never leaves Solana.
- 14
TypeScript SDK
On npm as @covenant-org/sdk: signed settlement, staking, and receipt-anchor instructions, built from the onchain program IDLs.
- 15
Open source
Covenant's source code is licensed under Apache 2.0.
Planned· 04
- 16
Settlement from the daemon
The daemon will pay for the resources agents use through the settlement program on Solana.
- 17
Reputation and bonds
Recording reputation onchain and funding bonds on Base and Robinhood Chain, where the verifiers are already deployed.
- 18
Payments on Robinhood Chain
Agents will pay in USDG over x402, an open standard for payments over HTTP, on Robinhood Chain mainnet (chain 4663), where a first payment has already settled.
- 19
Spend escrow on Robinhood Chain
Agents will spend from an onchain grant with a per-call ceiling and a provider allowlist, and providers will be paid only for output that passes its checks. Blocking an overspend, paying out, and refunding have already been proven onchain.
Compute network
Covenant Compute
LiveA network where people and their agents rent GPUs by the second and pay for finished work in USDC. It runs on Solana mainnet, with metering on MagicBlock.
10 live · 4 next · 1 planned
Live· 10
- 01
GPU rental by the second
Each session's meter runs on a MagicBlock ephemeral rollup, where updating it costs nothing, and the session settles on Solana once, when it ends.
- 02
Coding agents for hire
One operator's agent makes the change in your repository, a different operator runs your acceptance tests on it, and you pay only for work that passes.
- 04
Two-step bug fixes
One agent writes tests that reproduce the bug, a second agent from a different operator fixes it, and nothing is charged unless the fix passes.
- 05
Verdicts onchain
Every operator who checks the work signs a verdict, and each verdict is counted on the MagicBlock rollup and recorded on Solana before anyone is paid.
- 06
Work from IMD
Research reports and other finished work from IMD, a swarm of about 1,000 AI agents: you pay in USDC, and you get a full refund if nothing arrives.
- 07
Receipts
Every payout can be checked on Solana, and finished work arrives with a receipt signed by the operator who did it.
- 08
Staked operators
Operators stake 1,000,000 CVNT for each node before it can take work, and lose part of that stake if the network proves a fault.
- 09
Agent access
Agents can order this work through MCP tools or the command line, with a spending limit on every call.
- 10
One-command install
Signed builds of Covenant Compute's tools for macOS and Linux, installed through Homebrew or the install script.
Next· 04
- 11
Inference and embeddings
From network operators, through OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible endpoints.
- 12
Research from X and the web
Research reports drawn from live posts on X and the web, at a fixed price per report.
- 13
Pay per job
Pay for a single job through x402, an open standard for payments over HTTP, without an account or a deposit.
- 14
macOS installer
A macOS installer (.dmg) for Covenant Compute's tools, notarized by Apple so macOS opens it without a security warning.
Planned· 01
- 15
Desktop app
An official Covenant Compute app for macOS and Linux.
Organization
Company
In progressIncorporating Covenant and verifying its official account on X.

Verified on X
Verified Organization status on X, so the gold checkmark lets you tell the official @OpenCovenant account from impersonators.
