🎻 Fork the First Artist

ETHGlobal Mumbai 2026 · team plan & live status · Open Source Orchestra

Product goal: give each consenting musician an ENS name, an x402 payment rail on Hedera, and their own AI steward agent on 0G. The intended split sends 96.31% to the artist and 3.69% toward agent compute. OSO takes zero cut, zero profit, no token.

Current reality: draft PR #3 passes 173 unit tests and 11 browser tests, and real Arkiv issue/revoke plus a public user-facing read are verified. Hedera settlement and 0G inference remain blocked on credentials; claiming, payments, ENS issuance, and a self-funding agent are not presented as live.

🎬 Target demo — not all steps are live yet

Artist opens their OSO profile → name, bio, photo, own payout address, ✅ consent.
Claim your name → artist.<parent>.eth pointing to their Hedera account and agent.
Their steward agent goes live on 0G and answers fans from what the artist shared.
A fan (or a fan's agent) asks for a song or tips → HTTP 402 → settles on Hedera testnet → 96.31% artist / 3.69% agent compute, visible on HashScan.
The agent pays its own 0G inference from its share, under a spend cap.
Live fork: a second, consenting artist does it all on stage.

🔐 Verification — how an artist claims

Steward invite — an OSO steward who knows the artist sends a one-time claim link.
Wallet signature — the artist signs "I am [name], claiming [name].<parent>.eth". No keys shared.
Logged on Hedera — inviter, artist, wallet and time go to a Hedera Consensus Service topic: public and tamper-evident.
Then activate — name, x402 rail and agent switch on.

Protections: nothing exists until the artist claims it · payouts only to the wallet that signed · a steward can freeze a disputed claim (logged too) · the agent only uses what the artist gives it.

“Artists are invited by people who know them, sign with their own wallet, and every claim is logged on Hedera — no impersonators, no middleman.”

🧭 Rules

Agent collects, artist holds. Only the 3.69% compute share sits with the agent.
Consent first. No name, agent or profile for anyone until they opt in.
Zero cut, no token.
Spend cap on demo compute ($5 total). Testnet for the demo.
Open source, every contributor credited, AI help disclosed. Prior OSO work = continuity; this weekend's work marked new.

🏆 Sponsor tracks

Hedera — AI Agents That Pay: x402 on Hedera; real settlement first, then HTS split/HCS bonuses (requirements)
0G — Private Computer: real inference in the main flow with request IDs and a judge-accessible app (requirements)
Arkiv — Build on Arkiv (existing projects): new Continuity integration with real writes and a user-visible read (requirements)

ENS issuance is deferred until the core slice works. 0G Keep Building is unsupported by prior 0G evidence. Agents That Pay for Themselves remains a stretch until Hedera revenue automatically becomes 0G Compute credit. Continuity status and final partner selections must be confirmed in the Hacker Dashboard.

🗓 Timeline

Now: one real Hedera payment + one real 0G answer + one real Arkiv write/read; fix critical payment/agent defects.
Then: deploy the smallest public end-to-end demo; freeze transaction/request/query evidence.
Video: one human-narrated 720p+ recording, target 2:40; no AI voiceover or sped-up footage.
Sat 08:00 IST target: submit with README, live links, proof IDs, team contacts, and old/new disclosure. Hard deadline 09:00 IST.
