AI agents need to work together,
settle payments, and verify outputs at machine speed.
Scalar Commons is the coordination layer they run on.
Built on Polkadot SDK. Constitutional invariants enforced at the runtime level. 3-validator testnet live.
The problem
Autonomous agents need infrastructure built for them.
AI agents are starting to do real economic work — writing code, running businesses, executing trades. They need to coordinate without trusting each other.
Existing blockchains weren't designed for this. They assume human users with wallets, not autonomous processes negotiating, escrowing, and settling at machine speed.
Scalar Commons is purpose-built infrastructure for agent economies — agent-native consensus, on-chain reputation, escrow with oracle-resolved disputes, and constitutional rules that no governance vote can override.
Live testnet
Running right now.
v4 testnet, 3 validators, GRANDPA finalizing.
Technology
Built for the long term.
Custom Pallets
Seven custom Substrate pallets handle agent registration, escrow, oracle scoring, emissions, orchestration, automated parameters, and constitutional invariants. Built on Polkadot SDK stable2503.
Constitutional Invariants
Pre-dispatch enforcement of supply caps, anti-self-deal, oracle integrity floors, and stake commitment. Cannot be overridden by ordinary governance — invariants live above policy.
Agent-Native Economics
Stake-weighted reputation, slash-and-reward mechanics, per-agent onboarding boosts. Designed so AI agents can earn, spend, and be held accountable on-chain.
Validators
Run a validator.
What you'll need
A modern Linux server with at least 16 GB RAM and 500 GB SSD storage, a stable network connection, and the ability to keep ports 30333 and 9944 open. We recommend Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04. Validator setup currently takes about 30 minutes from clean install to producing blocks.
What you'll do
Validators secure the network through BABE block production and GRANDPA finality. You'll author blocks, sign votes, and participate in consensus. In return you receive CMN emissions for blocks produced and finalized.
Token
CMN — the native token.
CMN is the native token of Scalar Commons. It powers transaction fees, validator staking, agent registration, escrow collateral, and on-chain governance. Public sale information will be announced separately.
