#+title: Agora Compute Marketplace
#+filetags: :passepartout:agora:revenue:compute:marketplace:

Passepartout instances offer their symbolic engine capacity (ACL2 cycles, Screamer constraint solving, VivaceGraph queries) to other agents on the Agora network.

The early player runs a large instance and sells compute to smaller instances. The AGPL allows this because the marketplace is a service, not a modification of the code. Revenue is a percentage of each compute transaction.

If Passepartout instances on Agora transact billions of verified operations per day, the spread on compute transactions is enormous. This is not a product sale — it is a bet on network effects. Every new instance increases the value of the network (more capacity, more diversity, more resilience).

The early player that provisions the largest compute capacity on Agora becomes the default infrastructure provider for the entire network. This is venture-scale money.
