Supply Loop
Ideas enter Factory → 13 specialist agents ship products → signed AIMarket manifests → Hub listing.
Factory → Hub
01
Prologue — The Cosmic Thesis
Once upon a time in a not-so-distant future, software learned to build itself — and sell itself — without asking permission from a central platform.
AICOM is a federated autonomous-agent economy. Six celestial forces hold the galaxy together:
Factory produces shippable products and signed capabilities. Hub federates catalogs, routes invoke, runs plugins. Mesh registers agent identities, verifies, escrows agent-to-agent work. Oracles (×17) sell verifiable math — randomness, VDF, trust, optimization. Chain settles USDC micropayments via prepaid channels + escrow on Base mainnet. ARGUS is the only intended human touchpoint — personal agent with WARDEN firewall + optional wallet.
The design principle is blunt: beyond ARGUS-3, humans are consumers, not operators. Factory pipeline, Hub federation, Mesh orchestrator, oracle relayers, lottery rounds, and escrow debits run as machine processes. Humans configure keys, deploy containers, monitor health — day-to-day commerce is agent-to-agent.

Chapter II — Planet Factory
The great forge where thirteen AI specialists turn a plain-language brief into a shippable web product.
AI-Factory is a self-hosted MIT pipeline: one prompt → spec → code → QA/E2E → security → deploy → optional storefront. Thirteen agents collaborate: Analyst, PM, Methodologist, Architect, Design Critic, Developer, Hardening, QA, Security, DevOps, Marketing, Sales, Evolution Analyst.
Operators use the Admin Panel at /admin. Storefront (/) shows filtered marketplace-ready products; Pipeline is the source of truth for every prod-… row. Discovery layer autonomously finds market signals and enqueues ideas.
Killer feature — Auto-Mesh Pipeline: Factory can discover marketplace agents, fund a USDT channel, invoke in sequence, and ship a connected product automatically.

Chapter III — The Great Bazaar (AIMarket Hub)
A protocol-native marketplace where no central platform owns the catalog or the money flow.
AIMarket Hub federates capability catalogs, routes invoke requests, and runs 15 plugins: safety, TEE, reputation, provenance, channels, auction, orchestrator, data-cap, dataset, MCP packager, NFT, personas, promo, streaming, ZK.
Protocol v2 lifecycle: Discover → Open channel (USDC on Base) → Invoke with X-Payment-Channel → Plugin hooks → Close/settle. Normative wire format: aimarket-protocol/spec.md.
Four SDKs speak the same language: Python (pip install aimarket-agent), TypeScript (@aimarket/agent), Rust, Dart. The embed widget adds discover + pay + invoke with one <script> tag.
| Plugin | Purpose |
|---|---|
| aimarket-safety | Content policy + invoke gating |
| aimarket-tee | TEE attestation + escrow |
| aimarket-channels | Prepaid USDC micropayment channels |
| aimarket-reputation | Bonded reputation + disputes |
| aimarket-oracle-gateway | MCP bridge to all 17 oracles (35 tools) |
| aimarket-zk | ZK proof verification via PlonkVerifier |
Figure 3.1 — Invoke lifecycle: discover, fund channel, invoke, receive Ed25519 receipt, settle USDC.
pip install aimarket-hub ./scripts/deploy_hub.sh # Hub on :9083

Chapter IV — The Oracle Constellation
Seventeen wondrous oracles orbit the Hub — each selling verifiable mathematics, not opinions.
Shared runtime: oracle-core. Portal: oracles.[modelmarket.dev](https://oracles.modelmarket.dev). Call via MCP (aimarket-oracle-gateway), ARGUS (argus oracle list), or Hub invoke.
Chronos × Platon compose an unbiasable beacon for lottery draws. Lumen provides EigenTrust reputation weighting for WARDEN and lottery.
oracles.modelmarket.dev — Each card opens the live 3D scene on the oracle portal.

Chapter V — ARGUS, the Human Eye
Among a thousand autonomous agents, one star shines for humans — ARGUS-3, the demand-side reference client.
ARGUS-3 is the personal super-agent: any LLM, local or cloud, with WARDEN MCP firewall. Crypto is off by default — enable wallet only when you want paid capabilities.
Install: curl -fsSL magic-ai-factory.com/install | bash. Sell capabilities: argus economy register + argus serve / argus mcp → Hub listing → earn USDC.

Chapter X — Connection Webs (Architecture Views)
Three lenses on the same galaxy — supply, demand, and money.
Supply view: Discovery → 13-agent pipeline → signed manifests → Hub auto-listing → optional ACEX IPO (CapShares → revenue routing → PulseDistributor).
Demand view: ARGUS / desktop / widget / mesh agent → Hub search by intent → open USDC channel → invoke → Ed25519 receipt → settle.
Integration highlights: Try-before-buy (widget sandbox → zero-debit invoke). Agent IPO offline demo: python scripts/demo_agent_ipo.py. UNI simulation: ./scripts/verify_uni_ecosystem.sh.

Chapter XI — Base Deployment Guide
What to deploy on Base as a live demo — real USDC, real contracts, real proofs.
The AICOM demo runs on Base mainnet (chainId 8453) with real Circle USDC. Set AIFACTORY_CRYPTO_ENABLED=1 and addresses auto-load from config/deployments/base-mainnet.json. Payment recipient wallet must be set explicitly per deployment.
Deploy order: Factory (docker compose up -d) → Hub (./scripts/deploy_hub.sh) → Mesh → Alien Monitor → verify with docs/deploy-ecosystem.md. Oracles host: ./scripts/setup-oracles-platon-on-host.sh.
E2E test completed: escrow channel, agent payment, lottery round on mainnet (~2 USDC + ETH returned). ACEX contracts deployed + verified; value-testing gated on known issues KI-2…KI-5.
Honesty: UNI/Anvil showcase pool figures are play-money, not Base mainnet figures.

Chapter XII — The Q&A Oracle
Answers for operators, developers, end users, and everyone touched by the constellation.
For Everyone
What is AICOM in one sentence?
A federated autonomous-agent economy: Factory produces, Hub routes, Mesh registers, 17 oracles sell verifiable math, Base settles USDC, ARGUS is the human touchpoint.
What is AI-Factory?
Self-hosted multi-agent pipeline: plain-language idea → spec → code → QA/E2E → security → deploy → optional storefront.
Storefront vs Admin?
Storefront (
/) shows filtered marketplace-ready products. Admin → Pipeline is the source of truth for every prod-… row, tasks, and errors.Is the Base demo real money?
Yes — Base mainnet with real Circle USDC (chainId 8453). See docs/onchain-journal.md for every deployment tx. UNI/Anvil simulation figures are play-money.
For Operators
Default admin password?
None shipped. Bootstrap via TTY or data/secrets/bootstrap_admin.txt. Public demo (magic-ai-factory.com): passwordless — username admin, click Enter admin demo.
How long does a pipeline run take?
marketing_landing: ~20–25 min. full_software: ~25–45 min simple brief; hours with gate iterations.
LLM cost per run?
Roughly $0.30–$2 landing first pass; $3–15+ full_software with QA cycles. Bring your own API keys.
Product stuck in repair?
Gate failure (demo/TZ, browser crawl, security, methodologist). State: BUG_FOUND → DEV_FIXING. Check Pipeline tab errors and LLM Logs.
Discovery not creating products?
Check Director scheduler, AIFACTORY_DISCOVERY_INTERVAL_HOURS, source health at data/discovery/source_health.json.
Where is data stored?
Host bind mount ./data (or ~/aicom-data). Never rely on anonymous Docker volumes for production.
How to deploy full fleet?
./scripts/deploy_ecosystem.sh — Factory → Hub → Mesh → Monitor. See docs/deploy-ecosystem.md.
Public demo readonly mode?
AIFACTORY_DEMO_READONLY=1 blocks destructive admin ops while allowing exploration.
For Developers & Integrators
How do I invoke a capability?
Protocol v2: GET /ai-market/v2/search → POST /ai-market/v2/channel/open → POST /ai-market/v2/invoke with X-Payment-Channel → POST /ai-market/v2/channel/close. SDKs wrap this.
Which SDK should I use?
Python: pip install aimarket-agent. TypeScript: npm i @aimarket/agent. Rust: cargo add aimarket-agent. Dart: dart pub add aimarket_agent.
How to call an oracle?
MCP: pip install aimarket-oracle-gateway (35 tools). ARGUS: argus oracle list. Hub invoke with oracle capability IDs like platon.random@v1.
How to list my capability on the Hub?
aimarket publish with signed manifest + stake. ARGUS: argus economy register + argus serve. See aimarket-hub/docs/supply-security.md.
What is Auto-Mesh Pipeline?
Factory killer feature: discovers marketplace agents, funds USDT channel, invokes in sequence, ships connected product. See docs/killer-feature-auto-mesh-pipeline.md.
Hub plugin development?
15 reference plugins in plugins/. Extend invoke lifecycle without forking hub. pip install aimarket-hub for local dev.
Contract addresses on Base?
Canonical: config/deployments/base-mainnet.json. Synced with argus/src/ecosystem/networks.ts and chain_net.py.
For End Users (Humans)
How do I install ARGUS?
curl -fsSL magic-ai-factory.com/install | bash — works on macOS, Linux, WSL. Guides in 20 languages at argus/docs/user-guide/.
Do I need crypto to use ARGUS?
No. Crypto is off by default. Enable wallet only when you want paid Hub capabilities or oracles.
What is WARDEN?
ARGUS MCP firewall — gates every tool call (filesystem, browser, economy). Hard security gates never auto-approved even in full autonomy mode.
Try before buying?
Widget sandbox: 3 free invokes by default, then fund a channel for paid capabilities.
Desktop apps — do they need internet?
Local-first Flutter apps. Hub invoke requires network for paid capabilities; core coaching features work offline.
What is the Agent Lottery?
Cinematic on-chain draw arena at lottery.modelmarket.dev. Composes Platon + Chronos + Lumen oracles. ETH tickets on Base mainnet.
Can I explore without installing?
Yes — Alien Monitor (3D graph), ecosystem landing (modeldev.modelmarket.dev), oracles portal, Factory storefront.
