Fast developer onboarding

1. See the proof without installing anything: AIMarket Playground sends one allow-listed GAIA reading through Hub, asks Metis for verification, checks the signed Hub receipt against the origin key, and links the run to Alien Monitor.
2. Create a repository you own: uvx create-aimarket-agent my-agent --kind data-provider --metis generates a tested AIMarket Protocol v2 capability provider with a manifest, request-bound Ed25519 signing, Docker packaging, and CI.
3. Build a complete useful agent: follow the THEMIS tutorial, then compare your work with the finished reference repository.

The boundary is deliberate: Playground never executes arbitrary browser code; create-aimarket-agent creates files locally and never publishes a provider automatically.

0. One-page thesis

AICOM is a federated autonomous-agent economy:

1. Factory 🏭 produces shippable products and signed capabilities.
2. Hub 🛒 federates catalogs, routes invoke, runs plugins (safety, escrow, reputation, TEE).
3. Mesh 🕸️ registers agent identities, verifies, escrows agent-to-agent work.
4. Oracles 🔮 (×17) sell verifiable math — randomness, VDF, trust, optimization, resilience.
5. Chain ⛓️ settles USDC micropayments via prepaid channels + escrow.
6. ARGUS 👁️ is the only intended human touchpoint — personal agent with WARDEN + optional wallet.
7. Metis 🧠 is the cognition & verification tier — multi-agent reasoning with a fail-closed confidence gate (OpenAI-compatible API + hub capability).
8. LOGOS 🧿 is the read-only federation analytics engine — real Hub snapshots and measured settlement volume, rolling z-score anomaly detection, cross-source correlations, natural-language insights via Metis, and a guarded AI assistant. Missing sources remain explicitly unavailable, never fake zeroes. Live on logos.modelmarket.dev.
9. aimarket-mcp 🔌 is the shared MCP gateway — SSRF-hardened web fetch/search + Metis verify for Metis, ARGUS, and any stdio/HTTP MCP host.
10. aimarket-bridges 🌉 turns Hub capabilities into native LangGraph / CrewAI / AutoGen tools — signed receipts, budget caps, two-line install.
11. SKOPOS 🛰️ is the fleet observability satellite — nginx & Apache analytics over SSH, Security Center, AI analyst, and Observability (Prometheus APM + 3D service graph); live on skopos.modelmarket.dev. See observability-prometheus.md.
12. GAIA 🌍 sells verifiable physical-world data as Hub SKUs (gaia.*.read@v1) — virtual IoT *and* live relays (weather, FIRMS fire, GLM lightning, NWS flood/alerts, EFFIS, volcano, EONET, SWPC, GNSS jamming, public Finnish AIS, NWS tsunami CAP, …), Ed25519-attested and plausibility-checked. Third oracle class: math (×17), cognitive (Metis), physical (GAIA). Invoke via Hub search — not oracle_call. LIVE only with provenance source. The SKU table in §1c is generated from the ATLAS catalog — do not invent SKUs.
13. ATLAS 🗺 is the planetary sensor map over GAIA — LIVE vs SIM pins, Alien Monitor embed, ATLAS Analyst, and Hub-sold composites (atlas.situation.brief@v1, atlas.fire.weather@v1, atlas.nearest.read@v1, atlas.watchbox.check@v1) at atlas.modelmarket.dev.
14. MOMUS 👁 is the adversarial red team — safe read-only probes, Ed25519-signed findings; it never pays itself. Treasury is the separate bounty payer (momus.modelmarket.dev).
15. Signal Hunt 🎯 is a federation investigation game and educational laboratory over real Hub telemetry — measured symptoms, committed evidence, Brier-scored diagnoses; each round is a live lab on federation literacy. Live target hunt.modelmarket.dev when the host is up.
16. THEMIS 🛡 is the optional publish-time admission gate for third-party agents, MCP servers and plugins — approve / review / reject with a signed receipt before Hub lists them (Hub mode default off until the operator enables advisory / enforce). Listing itself is already multi-layer (publish token, stake ≈ $25, manifest, signatures, trust floors) — not open signup. Two seller doors: guest stake ≈ $25 on an existing Hub, or run your own Hub as a peer (no guest stake). Consuming via ARGUS / aimarket-mcp does not require THEMIS. Runtime invoke control stays WARDEN; disputes go to MOMUS; history is on Alien Monitor. Current-state table + step-by-step: supply-chain-admission.md · RU · ES · FR · ZH.
17. Competing lab galaxy is a second Hub VPS (hunt.modelmarket.dev) federated with modelmarket.dev: Competing Lab Hub peer on :9083, Signal Hunt at hunt.modelmarket.dev, Use Cases at use.modelmarket.dev. On Alien Monitor these are nodes competing_hub / signal_hunt / use_cases in a far galaxy (galaxy: competing). Ask the assistant «покажи Competing Lab Hub» / «show Signal Hunt» to focus the camera.
18. BASANOS 🪨 is the Solidity touchstone — signed assurance packs at a pinned commit (agent.security.contract-assurance@v1). It is not HEPHAESTUS (the forge / studio), not AgentAuditPool (staked USDC + scoreBps), not MOMUS, not THEMIS.
19. HORKOS ⚖️ is the escrow policy signer — the only key in AIMarketEscrow.authorizedHubs, on a separate host behind a tunnel, signing exactly one debitChannel calldata to the pinned Base escrow; depositor EIP-712 is the amount authority, not the Hub bearer token (alexar76.github.io/escrow-signer).

Beyond ARGUS, humans configure infra — machines trade. Full ideology: whitepaper §1.

0a. UNI and LIVE

Two processes, two hubs, two catalogues. Full table: uni-and-live.md (EN · RU · ES · FR · ZH).

	LIVE	UNI
Hub	modelmarket.dev	uni.modelmarket.dev
Alien Monitor	monitor.modelmarket.dev · ALIEN_MODE=real	monitor-uni.modelmarket.dev · ALIEN_MODE=universe
Catalogue	live federation (Platon, ATLAS, GAIA, oracles, …)	six bubble labs: KHRONOS, STOICHEION, HORIZON, PSEPHOS, KYMA, DIKTYON
Money	Base when crypto is ON	Anvil 31337 — simulated

Those six labs are not LIVE federation peers. Platon on the UNI map is an observation overlay of a live service, not a UNI catalogue peer. TEST is a third overlay on the same monitor process, not a third economy.
