Vigi Machine Economy
Participants that are not people.
The sum of every layer below: an economy whose participants include servers, applications, devices, services and AI agents alongside humans and companies. An agent requests storage, finds providers, sets a condition, locks VIGI, receives evidence of execution, verifies it and releases payment — with no human in the loop, because the proof is objective.
A machine-readable storage capability is on-chain.
The public chain contains a VIGI_DATA/STORAGE capability that any client can reconstruct from events. No public order or escrow payment has settled yet, and policy-locked settlement remains inactive until the published testnet activation height of block 8,000.
Data, Witness, Provenance, Escrow, VIGI.
Storage to hold the work, evidence to describe it, provenance to order it, escrow to pay for it, and a native unit to denominate it. None of these markets would ever be given authority over consensus — the economy runs on the chain’s guarantees and never becomes one of them.
Software cannot post a chargeback.
Machine-to-machine commerce has no recourse layer. An agent cannot call a bank, dispute a charge or sue a counterparty, so settlement has to be correct at the moment it happens. That means conditions demonstrable in software and value that physically cannot move until they are — which is what the layers below provide.
A root, not a marketplace.
VigiChain is not becoming a storage chain, an AI server, a cloud provider or a marketplace written into consensus. It provides the cryptographic and economic root those systems are built on. The moment a market is inside the rules everybody must run, the core stops being small enough to audit — and small enough to audit is the product.

Sovereign post-quantum network for verified value.
Post-quantum cryptographic security software: a sovereign network that strengthens custody, settlement and identity. Testnet active; mainnet opens when independent validation supports it. Ten layers, each with its own page and its real state on it: three running, two half-built, five written but not yet on the network.
