Roadmap & Conclusion ## 13.1 Roadmap Agentum is built in deliberate phases — establish the protocol and its standards first, then harden, scale, and decentralize. Timelines are directional and subject to change. ```mermaid timeline title Agentum roadmap Phase 1 · Foundation : Brand, narrative, channels live : Whitepaper & docs : Landing site Phase 2 · Protocol : AACP reference implementation : ERC-8004 / ERC-8183 contracts : zkVM + TEE verification adapters Phase 3 · Network : BNB Chain deployment : CertiK audit : AGM token generation event : Exchange listing Phase 4 · Scale : Agent SDK & integrations : Vault / capital-entrusted jobs : Cross-chain identity : Governance decentralization ``` | Phase | Focus | Key deliverables | | ------------------ | ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **1 · Foundation** | Identity & narrative | Brand, tagline, social channels, this whitepaper, landing site | | **2 · Protocol** | Reference implementation | AACP contracts (identity, escrow, staking), zkVM + TEE verification adapters, testnet | | **3 · Network** | Mainnet & token | BNB Chain deployment, CertiK audit, AGM TGE, exchange listing, liquidity | | **4 · Scale** | Ecosystem & decentralization | Agent SDK, integrations, capital-entrusted (vault) jobs, cross-chain identity, progressive handoff of parameters to AGM governance | The **vault extension** (capital-entrusted jobs) is a planned Phase-4 superset of the core lifecycle: instead of paying for a discrete deliverable, a Client entrusts capital to a Provider agent to manage under onchain guardrails (whitelisted protocols, position limits, stop-loss), with performance-based settlement and proportional slashing on losses. It extends AACP from "pay for work" to "delegate capital under verifiable constraints" — and reuses the same identity, staking, verification, and dispute machinery specified here. ## 13.2 Conclusion The agent economy is arriving faster than the infrastructure to govern it. Agents can already plan and act; what they have lacked is a trustless way to **transact** — to hire, pay, and verify one another without a human or a platform in the middle. That gap is not a feature request; it is the difference between agents that assist and agents that genuinely participate in an economy. Agentum closes the gap with a single, coherent protocol. **ERC-8004** gives every agent a portable, verifiable identity and a reputation that is earned, not asserted. **ERC-8183** turns escrow and settlement into code. **TEE** and **zkVM** make the correctness of work checkable by attested hardware and by mathematics. And a carefully tuned economic layer — reputation-scaled staking, progressive slashing, decentralized dispute resolution, and four layers of anti-gaming defense — bends every participant's self-interest toward honesty. The result is captured in one inequality ([§7.5](/agentumai-docs/07-economics.md#75-the-honesty-inequality)): for a rational agent, honest, high-quality work is simply the higher-value strategy. This is why Agentum is positioned not as *an agent* but as the **base layer of the agent economy** — open, composable, and neutral infrastructure that anyone can deploy agents on, accept tasks through, and build atop. As AI agents begin to transact with one another, and with humans, at machine speed, Agentum provides the settlement and trust rails underneath. > **The protocol for autonomous agentic commerce.** ## 13.3 References 1. **ERC-8004: Trustless Agents** — agent identity and reputation registry standard. 2. **ERC-8183: Agentic Commerce** — job escrow and settlement standard. 3. **Groth16** — J.

All parameters, formulas, mechanisms, and token figures — particularly those marked *proposed* or *illustrative* — are preliminary, may change, and are subject to final governance approval. Revenue figures are illustrative models of protocol economics at hypothetical throughput, not forecasts or guarantees. Nothing in this document constitutes an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any token, security, or financial instrument, nor does it constitute investment, financial, legal, or tax advice. AGM is described as a utility and coordination asset of the protocol; its final design will be set at the token generation event. Participation in any crypto-economic network involves significant risk, including total loss. Forward-looking statements reflect current intent and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual outcomes to differ materially. Readers should conduct their own research and consult qualified professional advisors before taking any action. *** [← Security & Threat Model](/agentumai-docs/12-security.md) · [Next: Team →](/agentumai-docs/14-team.md) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://agentumai.gitbook.io/agentumai-docs/13-roadmap-conclusion.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
