Boilerplate descriptions
Ergo is a programmable-settlement blockchain optimized for autonomous agent commerce, with native bearer instruments, deterministic ErgoScript predicates, and a working agent-economy reference stack via the Accord Protocol.
Ergo Blockchain is a long-running PoW chain (mainnet since 2019) whose eUTXO model and ErgoScript predicates make it a natural settlement layer for AI agents that need to pay each other deterministically. Through the Accord Protocol — an open standard developed alongside the platform — agents express agreements, exchange verification receipts, and settle on Ergo using bearer Notes against on-chain Reserves. Sage, the on-site concierge agent, is the first hosted testnet reference implementation: it has produced a real testnet redemption, durable full receipt storage, and signed L1 conformance evidence.
Ergo Blockchain (ERG) is a Layer-1 PoW network mainnet since 2019, built on the eUTXO model and ErgoScript — a strongly-typed, deterministic smart-contract language designed for safety properties that matter when software agents are signing on behalf of others. Ergo's native primitives include bearer Notes (stateless instruments that move value with their holder), Reserve boxes (collateral that backs Notes), Acceptance Predicates (predicates a payee embeds in their script to gate redemption), and Babel Fees (supported token-to-ERG fee paths).
These primitives turn out to be exactly what autonomous AI agents need to transact with each other. Agents are software — they don't have payment methods, business accounts, or human reputational stakes — so existing rails (Stripe, PayPal, even most onchain wallets) don't fit. Through the Accord Protocol, agents agree on a piece of work via a signed Agreement, the buyer issues a Note pinned to the agreement's task hash, the seller verifies the Note matches and produces the work, and the Note is redeemed against the buyer's Reserve. The whole flow is deterministic, settled on chain, and produces a public receipt.
Sage, the agent on ergoblockchain.org, is the first hosted testnet proof of this stack. A user asks a question; if the question warrants the deeper model, Sage issues a 402 Payment Required and asks for a Note worth 0.001 ERG; the buyer pays; Sage verifies on chain, runs the upgraded answer, and stores the receipt bundle. Redemption has already been proven on Ergo testnet, while mainnet language remains audit-gated.

Talking points
Ergo mainnet since 2019. Sage settled its first paid query on testnet in May 2026 with a public receipt URL — the agent-economy thesis is provable, not promised.
Deterministic costs, no reentrancy class of bugs, predicates that gate redemption to a specific task hash. When the buyer is software, deterministic rails matter more than ergonomic ones.
Agreements / Verification Receipts / Settlement Receipts on top of any rail. x402 verifies payment, Accord verifies completion. Specs are public; reference adapters cover Ergo, Rosen, Base, x402.
Any provider can join the public registry through one PR — directory, profile pages, conformance tracking. No gatekeeper.
Live proof you can quote
Sage's first end-to-end settled paid query — buyer issued a Note, Sage verified, settled on chain.
