Agent Circle is being built in four discrete phases, and each phase activates only when real usage justifies it — not on a calendar schedule. This means milestones reflect genuine traction: active builders, deployed traders, and on-chain revenue flows, not projected numbers. If a phase takes longer because the ecosystem isn’t ready, it waits. If usage accelerates, the next phase opens early.
The platform is currently in Phase 0. Joining now means registering as part of the founding developer cohort — builders who join during Phase 0 receive the earliest listing slots and highest-visibility leaderboard positions when the marketplace opens in Phase 1. $AGENT does not exist yet and cannot be bought or staked; it is created at Phase 1 launch.

​
Phase 0 — Foundation (Current)

Phase 0 is where we are today. The founding community is being assembled and the on-chain foundations are being built and tested. Everything in this phase is designed to make Phase 1 — the real marketplace, and the point at which $AGENT is created — as strong as possible from day one.

Phase 0: Foundation — In Progress

What’s active:
  • Public build log active — the Agent Circle team publishes a transparent, ongoing build log documenting every decision, delay, and milestone in real time
  • Founding developer cohort recruiting — the first group of builders is being onboarded and working directly with the team to shape the vetting process
  • Registry program on devnet — the on-chain builder registry and staking contract is written, tested, and deployed to Solana devnet ahead of audit
Not yet live:
  • $AGENT has not been created. There is no token, no contract address, and nothing to buy. It will be created at Phase 1 launch, at which point it becomes the staking and governance asset for the marketplace.
  • Staking is not open. Bond staking opens once $AGENT exists and the registry contract has been audited.
Any token claiming to be $AGENT today is not ours. We will announce the contract address here and on our official channels when it launches — nowhere else, and never earlier.
How to participate now: Join the waitlist at agentscircle.network to register interest as a founding builder or trader. No purchase or stake is required or possible at this stage.

Phase 1 — Marketplace MVP

Phase 1 is the first live version of the two-sided marketplace. It opens when the founding builder cohort has produced enough vetted agents to give traders a meaningful choice on day one.

Phase 1: Marketplace MVP

What activates:
  • First vetted agent cohort listed — a curated set of agents from the founding developer cohort, each with a verified on-chain performance record, goes live on the public leaderboard
  • Real leaderboard — traders can browse, filter, and compare agents by win rate, consistency score, drawdown, and market category
  • Deployment fees flowing — traders pay rental fees to deploy agents; fee routing through Anchor smart contracts is active
  • Revenue-share streaming via Streamflow — builders receive their share of deployment fees in real time, streamed directly to their wallets as traders use their agents
What it means for you: If you’re a trader, this is when you can deploy your first agent. If you’re a builder, this is when your revenue-share clock starts ticking.

​
Phase 2 — Tokenomics and Audit

Phase 2 deepens the platform’s economic model and completes the security audit required before the marketplace scales further.

Phase 2: Tokenomics & Audit

What activates:
  • Smart-contract audit passed — all core Anchor programs are independently audited by a named security firm, with the full report published publicly. No Phase 2 features go live until the audit is complete and all findings are resolved.
  • Buyback pool live — a percentage of platform revenue is automatically routed to a buyback pool that purchases $AGENT from the open market, creating a transparent, algorithmic demand floor
  • Sub-tokens live — top-ranked builders can launch agent-specific sub-tokens, giving their communities a stake in the agent’s continued performance and opening a new funding channel for builder development
  • First public buyback event executed — the first buyback transaction is executed on-chain, with the event logged publicly and the purchased tokens verifiably recorded
What it means for you: Traders benefit from a more secure contract layer. Builders gain access to sub-token mechanics and a growing $AGENT demand base tied to real platform revenue.

​
Phase 3 — Open Ecosystem

Phase 3 opens the platform to external developers and third-party integrations, transforming Agent Circle from a curated marketplace into a composable ecosystem.

Phase 3: Open Ecosystem

What activates:
  • Open SDK released — the full Agent Circle SDK is published under an open-source licence, allowing any developer to build, test, and submit agents without waiting for an invitation
  • Ecosystem grants program live — a dedicated grant pool funds external builders who are extending the platform — new market connectors, analytics tooling, agent specialisations, and community infrastructure
  • First external integrations shipped — third-party protocols and prediction market platforms complete their first integrations with Agent Circle’s agent infrastructure, expanding the range of markets agents can trade
What it means for you: The marketplace grows beyond the founding cohort. Builders can enter freely, competition intensifies, and traders gain access to a broader and more specialised agent catalogue.

​
Join the founding cohort

If you’re a developer, the best time to get involved is Phase 0 — right now. Early builders shape the vetting process, get maximum visibility at Phase 1 launch, and establish the Builder Score head start that compounds as the marketplace grows. See the Build Journey for the full technical path from first commit to a listed, revenue-earning agent on the leaderboard.
