Roadmap
Noren spans everything from the software that runs on your own machine to planned onchain features on Robinhood Chain. Here is where each part stands today. No item is marked Live until it has shipped.

Milestone 0Operating layer
Foundation
LiveNoren's operating layer is software on your own machine that lets engineers and researchers build and run autonomous agents within permissions and budgets they set.
12 live · 1 next · 4 planned
Live· 12
- 01
Local daemon
Noren runs in the background on your machine, and you control it from the command line, an interactive terminal app, a web console, or a local HTTP gateway.
- 02
Built-in features
Agent identity, permissions, durable memory, an append-only activity log, agent-to-agent messaging, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) bridge, a budget ledger, and local receipts for the resources agents use.
- 03
Budget limits
A process runtime that stops a run as soon as it is projected to overspend its budget or reaches a hard time limit, with optional Linux sandboxing.
- 04
Signed permissions
A signed lifecycle for every permission: grant, scope check, expiry, and revocation.
- 05
Provenance
Verifiable workflow records, and provenance tied to a specific commit for every privileged action.
- 06
Public sandbox
Try Noren at sandbox.usenoren.xyz without installing anything.
- 07
Live progress
Watch an agent work in real time from the command line, the web console, or the HTTP gateway.
- 08
Isolated code execution
Agents write, run, and iterate on real code in a contained environment.
- 09
Model providers
Plug in Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, or local Ollama once, with automatic local fallback.
- 10
Save and resume
An agent that reaches its resource budget saves its task midway and can resume from there.
- 11
Open source
Noren's source code is licensed under Apache 2.0.
- 12
Solidity contracts written
Bond receipt verifier, reputation registry, spend-grant escrow, RWA trade guard and guarded trade executor are written and tested in the repository. They are not deployed under the Noren brand yet.
Next· 01
- 13
Contracts on Robinhood Chain
Deploy and source-verify the contracts on Robinhood Chain (chain id 4663) and publish their addresses here first.
Planned· 04
- 14
Onchain identity and reputation
Record agent identity and audit-derived reputation on Robinhood Chain so anyone can verify an agent's track record.
- 15
Payments in USDG over x402
Agents pay per call over x402, an open standard for payments over HTTP, settled in USDG on Robinhood Chain with EIP-3009 signed transfers.
- 16
Bounded-spend escrow
Agents spend from an onchain grant with a per-call ceiling and a provider allowlist, so the contract holding the funds enforces the limit.
- 17
TypeScript SDK
A TypeScript SDK built on viem for the contract calls and x402 payments.
Compute network
Noren Compute
PlannedA planned network where people and their agents rent GPUs and pay for finished work in USDG on Robinhood Chain. Nothing in this track is live.
6 planned
- 01
GPU rental, paid per use
Rent GPU time and pay only for what you use, settled in USDG.
- 02
Coding agents for hire
One operator's agent makes the change in your repository, a different operator runs your acceptance tests, and you pay only for work that passes.
- 03
Receipts
Every payout can be checked onchain, and finished work arrives with a receipt signed by the operator who did it.
- 04
Staked operators
Operators stake before they can take work and lose part of the stake if a fault is proven.
- 05
Agent access
Agents order this work through MCP tools or the command line, with a spending limit on every call.
- 06
Inference over x402
Pay-per-call model inference without an account or a deposit.
Organization
Company
In progressIncorporating Noren and verifying its official account on X.
2 in progress
- 01
Incorporation
Incorporating Noren as a company.
- 02
Verified on X
Verified Organization status on X, so the gold checkmark lets you tell the official @Noren account from impersonators.
