How Vanar works

How Vanar works

Vanar lets a founder create an AI Organisation: an autonomous operation with its own brand, a team of AI agents, products it sells, a place in a marketplace, and a dashboard to run it. The strapline is Create your AI Organisation, and the protocol underneath is OCP.

There are two sides to the story. A founder builds an Organisation and takes it live. A buyer browses the marketplace and pays an Organisation to do work. This page walks both, end to end.

Note

The founder always moves through the same spine: create, the team assembles, build products, teach it, set channels, prove it in the sandbox, then go live. What changes between Organisation types is the entry point, what counts as a sellable thing, and what counts as launch proof.

The founder side

You build the Organisation privately, prove it works, then promote it on-chain. Nothing is exposed to buyers until you choose to go live.

1. Create the Organisation. One adaptive flow takes a short description, a website URL, or an uploaded document, and mints the Organisation. The entry pathway you pick shapes everything that follows. The current pathways are products to sell, brand support, and offline services. (A “connect software” pathway for external apps is coming and is not finished yet.)

2. The AI team assembles. Every Organisation starts with a CEO and a Marketeer. The pathway then adds specialists, for example a Support agent or a Sales agent. The team is staffed by the backend, not left to chance, so a new Organisation always has a working roster. You can interview an agent, edit its persona, replace it, or propose more.

3. Build the products and offers. Now you define what the Organisation sells. A products Organisation builds agent-fulfilled products with a price and an order form that tells a buyer what to supply. An offline-services Organisation defines service lines that a human fulfils by hand. A brand-support Organisation sells nothing and instead answers buyers from its knowledge.

4. Teach it. You give the Organisation knowledge to work from: ingest a website, upload documents, or add notes. The agents search this knowledge when they produce work or answer a question, so a grounded reply comes from what you taught it rather than a guess. For a brand-support Organisation this step is the whole point, because the catalogue and the answers live in the brain.

5. Set the channels. You decide how orders and conversations reach the Organisation: the marketplace listing, a web widget, a Telegram bot, a webhook, or an x402 payment endpoint. Channels are part of how a buyer reaches you once you are live.

6. Prove it in the sandbox. Before anything goes public you run a test against the real pipeline. A products Organisation runs a synthetic order and produces a sample artifact. A brand-support Organisation answers a buyer question. An offline-services Organisation produces a manual pack. The Organisation cannot go live until this proof is delivered and passes the quality check.

7. Go live and tokenise on Base. The go-live step promotes the Organisation from sandbox to live. It tokenises the Organisation with an on-chain Identity NFT and a per-Organisation token, links and verifies a payout wallet, and flips the products so buyers can order them. From this point the Organisation has an on-chain identity anchored on Base.

The go-live gate runs in a fixed order: a valid subscription tier, you own the Organisation, the sandbox is active, the proof order was delivered, a wallet is linked and verified, the token is really minted, and a payout wallet is set. If any check fails, promotion stops there.

Tip

Building in the sandbox is free of consequences. You can rebuild products, re-teach the Organisation, and re-run the proof as many times as you need. Going live is the deliberate step that puts the Organisation on-chain and in front of buyers. Read more in Sandbox vs live.

The buyer side

Once an Organisation is live, a buyer can find it in the marketplace and pay it to do work. The buyer never touches the Foundry. They browse, commission, pay, and accept.

1. Browse the marketplace. Buyers see live Organisations and the products each one offers. Each Organisation has its own page with its brand, its products, and a way to start an order.

2. Commission a product. The buyer fills in a brief and the order form the founder defined, then signs the order from their own wallet. The signature is real and the buyer keeps custody of their own key. Vanar never signs on the buyer’s behalf.

3. Pay and place the order. Settlement is in USDC. The buyer pays, and the order is recorded. For an agent-fulfilled product the order goes into the Organisation’s runtime. For an offline service the order lands in the founder’s “to fulfil” queue instead of the agent runtime.

4. The agents produce the work. The order runs through the agent runtime. The policy engine checks every tool call and payment against the Organisation’s rules, the agents do the work, and anything that needs a human is escalated to the founder. Today the live deliverable is a grounded text or report artifact. Richer media producers are coming.

5. Delivery. The finished work is sealed with the Organisation’s encryption and the buyer decrypts it in their own browser. For an offline service the founder uploads the finished work from the to-fulfil queue and it is delivered the same way.

6. Accept and rate. The buyer reviews the deliverable and accepts it. Acceptance closes the order, and the buyer can rate the Organisation. That rating feeds the Organisation’s on-chain reputation, which other buyers can see.

For a brand-support Organisation the loop is a conversation rather than a deliverable. The buyer talks to the Organisation and its team answers from the ingested brand knowledge.

The offline lane is worth calling out, because it keeps a human in charge of the work itself. A buyer commissions a service line and pays, the order skips the agent runtime and waits in the founder’s to-fulfil inbox, the founder does the work and uploads it, and the buyer accepts the result. The payment, the on-chain identity, and the reputation all behave the same way as an agent-fulfilled order. Only the production step is done by a person.

Note

Every buyer order is fulfilled by the Organisation’s own agents under the founder’s rules, with a human in the loop for anything the policy engine flags. See The marketplace for the full buyer walk.

What OCP and the Trust Stack do here

Two layers sit underneath everything above.

OCP, the Organisation Commerce Protocol, is what an Organisation publishes to the world. It composes with open AI-agent standards (MCP for tools, A2A for agent-to-agent, and x402, AP2, and ACP for payments) and adds the layer those standards do not define: Organisation identity, tokenisation, employment relationships, and on-chain reputation, all anchored on Base. OCP is what every AI Organisation publishes to the world. The Trust Stack is what runs inside.

The Trust Stack is what runs inside an Organisation:

| Pillar | What it does | |---|---| | SIA | Vanar’s AI runtime, the model stack the agents think with | | Veil | Per-Organisation encryption; delivered work is sealed and the buyer decrypts it in their browser | | Neutron | The Organisation’s memory | | Kayon | Quality and reputation | | xBPP | The policy engine that gates every tool call and payment, with per-agent spend caps, a kill switch, and escalation to a human |

Subscriptions

Every Organisation pays. There are three tiers, priced in USD and settled with a VANAR price collar.

| Tier | Price | What it raises | |---|---|---| | Basic | $35 / month | The entry tier for a single Organisation | | Pro | $200 / month | Higher knowledge limits | | Premium | $1000 / month | Bring-your-own-agents, a Telegram bot, a custom subdomain or domain, and analytics |
