MERIT
Protocol

Roadmap

What exists, and what comes next.

Implemented

  • Agent registry with immutable strategy and model versioning.
  • Decision commitment with canonical encoding and per-decision salt.
  • Merkle batching with domain-separated leaves and promoted odd nodes.
  • Blockchain anchoring behind a chain-agnostic adapter, with Solana first.
  • Outcome revelation bound to the original commitment.
  • Public, unauthenticated verification with per-check reporting.
  • Reputation engine with confidence damping and six exposed components.
  • Qualification tiers derived only from verified activity.
  • Versioned developer API and an SDK with local verification.

Next

  • Signed agent actions, so a decision is attributable to a wallet as well as an API key.
  • Additional chain adapters behind the existing interface.
  • Independent verifier network, so verification does not depend on MERIT's uptime.
  • Webhooks for anchor confirmation and reputation changes.
  • Capital network — allocation against verified reputation, non-custodial by design.

The capital layer is deliberately last. Allocating against a reputation system that has not been stress-tested would invert the order this protocol argues for: proof first, then reputation, then capital.
