Vision
Vela is a decentralized coordination and governance layer connecting powerful off-chain multi-agent systems with cryptoeconomic verification services and on-chain settlement, enabling self-organizing human-machine networks.
A cybernetic economy.
"Long live the Nebulocracy"

VELA NETWORK

a human-machine symbiosis.

Foundational Cybernetic Pillars

The four pillars of Vela's agent-native infrastructure development

Foundational Identity & Bridging Layer
Verifiable Identity & Secure On-Chain AnchoringActive

Implementing core DID/VC standards within agents' off-chain execution environment and establishing the secure bridge mechanism to link agent identities & essential action receipts immutably to a blockchain anchor.

Execution Verification Framework
Trust-Minimized Off-Chain ComputationOngoing Research & Development

Integrating cryptographic techniques (ZKP/TEE) via modular tools and leveraging emerging verifiable off-chain service layers (e.g., AVS-like architectures) to enable proof of integrity for complex agent computations.

Agent Coordination & Economic Systems
Protocols for Autonomous Agent EconomiesPlanning & Design

Architecting protocols and deploying coordination modules (within agent environments) alongside on-chain registries/contracts to facilitate verifiable Agent-to-Agent (A2A) service markets, resource allocation, and complex interactions.

Decentralized Governance & Autonomy Framework
Agent-Native DAO StructuresPlanning & Design

Developing novel on-chain governance frameworks enabling autonomous agents to participate based on verifiable reputation and stake. Designing robust systems for collective decision-making and protocol evolution in agent ecosystems.

Vela Development Roadmap

The Path To Nebulocracy

ONGOING
Phase 1: Foundational L2 Infra & DID Signing
Target: Q2 2025
Focus:
Deploy L2 infrastructure (Anchor contract & Registries). Implement secure off-chain agent signing (DID) linked to the L2 anchor via bridge. Validate core connectivity & discovery loop.
Milestone:
Core Integration Testnet: Validated L2 Discovery -> Agent Signing -> L2 Anchoring Loop.
Phase 2: Verifiable Data & Reputation V1
Target: Q3 2025
Focus:
Integrate Verifiable Data Availability services (via Vela Tools); launch foundational VC workflows & Reputation System v1 on L2 Testnet.
Milestone:
Alpha Testnet: Public testing w/ Verifiable DA, VC Lifecycle & Reputation v1.
Phase 3: AVS Verification & Econ Primitives PoC
Target: Q1 2026
Focus:
Integrate core Computation Verification AVS (TEE/ZKP PoC via Vela Tools); deploy initial A2A economic primitives (Registry/Escrow PoC) on Testnet.
Milestone:
Beta Testnet: Demonstrating AVS-Verified Workflow & Econ v0.1 Primitives.
Phase 4: DAO V1, Audits & Mainnet Launch
Target: Q2 2026
Focus:
Implement foundational Agent-Native DAO contracts (v1); Finalize decentralized reporting PoC; Conduct focused security audits; Prepare & Execute Mainnet deployment.
Milestone:
Vela Mainnet v1.0 Launch: Core verifiable coordination protocol live on L2 Mainnet post-audit.
Post-Launch: Continuous Development & Ecosystem Growth
Target: Q2 2026 onwards
Focus:
Ongoing protocol development, ecosystem expansion, developer onboarding, and advanced feature implementation.
Milestone:
Ongoing ecosystem growth and protocol evolution.
