Economics / Current State

Current revenue routing is intake and verified artifacts, not live payment rails.

This page explains what exists now and what remains roadmap. The repo includes a local x402 mock/audit policy gate, but it does not settle funds, spend USDC, or run Coinbase AgentKit.

Economic access architecture visual for roadmap payment products

Current Product Stack

Public artifacts and intake are live. Payment settlement is not.

The active web product publishes release assets, collects routed interest, and exposes operator review surfaces. Structured paid access remains a future integration.

Provenance

Sidecar manifests active

Current public artifacts expose hashes and sidecar metadata. Embedded C2PA is shown only when configured.

Payment Rails

Inactive

No live payment settlement is active on the public website.

Activation Recovery

Configured

Signed attendance fallback depends on the production VECTOR_SECRET.

Economic Layer

x402 Rails

The repo contains a local x402 mock/audit policy gate for protected route testing. Production payments are not active in this web app yet.

Economic Layer

Current Reality

Today the site publishes verified artifacts, collects attendance and collaborator interest, and explains the commercial direction without presenting inactive payment rails as live.

Economic Layer

Why It Matters

The near-term requirement is clear commercial routing without false payment claims. Live settlement can be revisited after public verification and deployment evidence are stable.

Current State vs Roadmap

[NOW]

Verified public artifacts, release bundles, event intake, collaborator intake, and protected operator review.

[TEST]

Local x402 mock/audit policy checks exist for protected route testing only.

[ROAD]

Real payment settlement, AgentKit integration, and autonomous spending require a separate approved phase.
