Roadmap

  1. M0

    Foundation

    Available

    Local control plane for engineers and researchers building governed autonomous software systems.

    • Daemon, CLI, TUI, local HTTP gateway, identity, permissions, durable memory, append-only activity log, agent-to-agent messaging, model-context-protocol bridge, budget ledger, and local resource receipts
    • Process runtime with budget enforcement (preempts on projected overspend, plus a hard time limit) and optional Linux sandboxing
    • Signed permission lifecycle with grant, scope check, expiry, and revocation
    • Verifiable workflow records and commit-scoped provenance for every privileged action
    • Public sandbox at sandbox.opencovenant.org
    • Settlement program deployed on Solana mainnet as a scaffold: $CVNT-to-credits, staking, slashing, and on-chain receipt anchoring are implemented on-chain; the economic lifecycle is not yet production
    • Apache 2.0 core
  2. M1

    Production, Tools, and Marketplace Foundation

    Next

    The next release. Live agent visibility, the core tools agents need, and the marketplace foundation, landing as a single push.

    • Live progress streaming: watch an agent work in real time across the CLI, console, and HTTP gateway
    • Unified model provider: plug in Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, or local Ollama once; Covenant handles fallback, response caching, and cost tracking
    • Plugin catalog: install vetted tools from a one-click catalog inside the console, starting with filesystem access
    • Production-grade isolated runtime for untrusted agent code on Linux
    • Mid-task save and resume when an agent reaches its resource budget
    • Signed installers: Homebrew, Debian, RPM, and notarized macOS packages
    • Stable wire formats for SDK and integration compatibility
    • Browser tool: agents that navigate, click, and read pages
    • Isolated code execution: agents that write, run, and iterate on real code in a contained environment
    • Git host integration: read repositories, comment on issues, propose pull requests
    • Replay and state debugger: pick any moment from the activity log, see full state, re-run from there
    • Reputation primitive over the on-chain agent registry
    • SDKs published to PyPI, npm, and crates.io
    • Editor integration for Visual Studio Code
    • Adapters for existing agent frameworks: LangGraph and CrewAI
  3. M2

    Native Integration

    Upcoming

    Deeper integration with the host operating system and end-user surfaces.

    • Compositor v1 with native Wayland integration
    • Orchestrator agent
    • Memory compaction across the working, episodic, and long-term tiers
    • First-run onboarding experience
    • Read-only mobile companion application
  4. M3

    Distributed

    Upcoming

    Multi-host operation, federated identity, and cross-organization workflows.

    • Multi-host operation with name@host.tld resolution for agent teams across machines
    • Public agent registry with one-line install and signed manifests
    • Microvm-grade isolation
    • Multi-device memory synchronization for a single identity
    • Agent migration across hosts
    • Trust flows for cross-organization marketplace transactions
  5. M4

    1.0 Release

    Upcoming

    Long-term API stability and the formal 1.0 commitment.

    • Stable v1 wire formats for IPC, permissions, and agent manifests
    • Long-term support release line
    • Bug bounty program
    • Comprehensive documentation across all primitives and public APIs
    • Conformance suite for third-party covenant-compatible runtimes
