Trajectory

From foundation
to the machine economy

Four phases toward autonomous, machine-native infrastructure. The runtime layer is built in the open, milestone by milestone.

Phase 1 in progress 2025 — 2027 horizon
Phase 1In Progress

Foundation

Establish the brand, presence, and the economic backbone the network will run on.

  • Branding & identity
  • Website & presence
  • Documentation & whitepaper
  • Idle Protocol integration
Phase 2Next

Runtime Layer

Ship the core runtime primitives — the substrate agents execute against.

  • Workflow registry
  • Execution routing engine
  • Infrastructure onboarding
  • Provider SDK
Phase 3Planned

Autonomous Coordination

Make the network self-coordinating — distributed orchestration without a central scheduler.

  • Distributed runtime orchestration
  • Realtime workflow management
  • Cross-region routing mesh
  • Autonomous failover
Phase 4Vision

Machine Economy

Open the network into a full machine-native economy where execution is bought, sold, and settled autonomously.

  • Autonomous execution markets
  • Machine-native infrastructure economies
  • Open provider marketplace
  • Permissionless settlement
Final Vision

They will execute
autonomously.

The next generation of AI systems will not operate manually. KAROS provides the runtime infrastructure powering that transition.
