Notes, reserves, and acceptance predicates — core primitives for autonomous work settlement
Ergo is a strong reference settlement layer for programmable credit, acceptance predicates, and verifiable reserve-style flows. This playbook walks through the receipt-oriented agent stack in testnet-first mode.
Problem
Autonomous work flows need more than merchant checkout. Agents may be temporary processes with bounded authority, no persistent payment identity, and strict spending limits. They need programmable IOUs, receipts, and explicit settlement rules, not only coin transfers.
Solution
Ergo's eUTXO model with ErgoScript acceptance predicates lets you issue bearer notes (IOUs), set conditions for acceptance (task hash + deadline), deploy verifiable reserves, and compose them into testnet-first credit flows with explicit audit boundaries.
Step-by-Step Guide
Learn the 4 primitives: Reserve (backing), Note (bearer IOU), Tracker (anti-double-spend), Predicate (acceptance rule). These compose into receipt-bearing credit flows.
