Marketplace
The Forge Pool Marketplace extends the planetary execution runtime into a shared economic ecosystem.
It enables customers, compute providers, adapter authors, and enterprise operators to participate in a unified execution-native economy built around:
- verified computation
- deterministic attribution
- replay-compatible accounting
- provider contribution
- governed ecosystem participation
The Marketplace is not merely a catalog of integrations or services.
It is the coordination layer through which ecosystem participants interact with the Forge runtime and its economic systems.
1. Purpose
The Marketplace exists to:
- connect execution demand with execution supply
- enable domain-specific execution surfaces
- support provider participation
- preserve ecosystem trust
- coordinate attribution and settlement
- expand the runtime without fragmenting the execution substrate
The Marketplace allows Forge Pool to grow from a platform into an execution ecosystem.
2. Core Principle
The Marketplace is built around one central idea:
execution remains canonical, even as ecosystem participation expands.
Adapters, providers, enterprise operators, and partners may extend the runtime outward, but:
- execution semantics
- replay semantics
- accounting semantics
- settlement semantics
remain governed by the canonical Forge execution model.
This preserves:
- determinism
- auditability
- replay compatibility
- enterprise trust
across the ecosystem.
3. Marketplace Participants
The Marketplace involves several participant classes.
Enterprise Customers
Organizations consuming execution through:
- APIs
- adapters
- Studio workflows
- enterprise integrations
- private execution domains
Customers may execute workloads such as:
- probabilistic simulation
- graph propagation
- media processing
- memory operations
- search and discovery
- domain-specific execution logic
Adapter Authors
Adapter authors create domain-specific execution surfaces on top of Forge Pool.
Adapters may provide:
- workflow orchestration
- execution mapping
- domain normalization
- artifact shaping
- integration logic
- packaged execution services
Adapters may be:
- official
- private
- partner-operated
Compute Providers
Providers contribute verified execution capacity through the Agent runtime.
Providers participate in:
- workload execution
- replay-compatible attribution
- settlement systems
- payout models
- execution contribution accounting
Provider participation remains subject to governance and verification systems.
Enterprise Operators
Some organizations may participate simultaneously as:
- customers
- providers
- adapter operators
- private execution-domain administrators
The Marketplace supports hybrid participation without fragmenting the canonical execution substrate.
4. What the Marketplace Governs
The Marketplace governs participation and economic coordination across:
- adapters
- provider contribution
- execution attribution
- settlement participation
- commercial sharing models
- trust classification
- ecosystem visibility
- governance state
The Marketplace does not replace:
- Web Core
- Hub orchestration
- canonical execution primitives
- replay authority
- settlement authority
It organizes ecosystem participation around them.
5. Adapter Participation
Adapters are the primary expansion mechanism of the Marketplace.
Marketplace-capable adapters may expose metadata such as:
- identifier
- version
- publisher
- execution classes
- primitive compatibility
- schema definitions
- documentation
- governance status
- trust classification
- commercial attribution behavior
This allows organizations to evaluate both technical and economic characteristics before adoption.
See Adapter Governance.
6. Official, Private, and Partner Adapters
Forge Pool supports multiple adapter categories.
Official Adapters
Maintained directly by Forge Pool and surfaced as part of the official platform experience.
Private Adapters
Built for internal organizational use.
Private adapters may remain:
- isolated
- undiscoverable
- enterprise-scoped
- commercially self-contained
Partner Adapters
Built and maintained by approved external organizations.
Partner adapters may participate in:
- ecosystem discovery
- revenue attribution
- commercial participation
- shared settlement models
Partner participation may require governance approval.
7. Marketplace Trust and Governance
The Marketplace depends on governance systems that preserve ecosystem trust.
Governance mechanisms may include:
- provider qualification
- adapter governance
- trust classification
- replay validation
- execution verification
- anomaly detection
- commercial review
- policy enforcement
Marketplace participation does not bypass canonical runtime governance.
Governance exists to ensure that ecosystem growth does not weaken:
- deterministic execution
- replay compatibility
- accounting integrity
- enterprise reliability
8. Trust States
Marketplace components may have governance and trust states such as:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Draft | Experimental or unpublished |
| Internal | Restricted operational use |
| Approved | Eligible for standard participation |
| Trusted | Elevated ecosystem trust |
| Restricted | Limited operational scope |
| Suspended | Temporarily disabled |
| Revoked | Removed from participation |
Trust states may affect:
- discoverability
- commercial participation
- execution permissions
- provider eligibility
- ecosystem visibility
9. Revenue Attribution and Sharing
The Marketplace may support shared commercial attribution models.
Execution revenue may be attributable across parties such as:
- Forge Pool
- compute providers
- adapter publishers
- enterprise operators
- approved partners
Commercial behavior may depend on:
- deployment model
- governance classification
- enterprise agreement
- execution class
- settlement policy
Not all deployments require public revenue sharing.
Private enterprise deployments may remain commercially isolated.
10. Relationship to Execution Accounting
Marketplace participation remains coupled to canonical execution accounting.
Execution routed through adapters or partner systems remains subject to:
- finalized execution accounting
- replay-aware attribution
- settlement validation
- provider contribution accounting
- deterministic ledger records
Marketplace activity does not bypass accounting systems.
See Execution Accounting.
11. Relationship to Economic Integrity
The Marketplace operates within the broader economic integrity model.
Marketplace trust depends on:
- replay compatibility
- deterministic attribution
- provider integrity
- adapter governance
- settlement correctness
- verification systems
See Economic Integrity.
12. Discovery and Visibility
Marketplace discovery systems may include:
- searchable catalogs
- domain classification
- execution-class metadata
- documentation references
- governance indicators
- trust visibility
- enterprise allowlists
- restricted publication controls
Visibility policies may differ by deployment model and governance status.
13. Why the Marketplace Matters
The Marketplace allows execution logic and domain expertise to become economically portable.
Instead of every organization building and operating its own distributed compute infrastructure, teams can:
- express domain logic through adapters
- route execution through Forge Pool
- participate in a shared runtime
- leverage replay-aware accounting
- participate in a governed ecosystem
This dramatically reduces the complexity of building execution-native systems.
14. Future Evolution
The Marketplace may evolve to support:
- advanced ecosystem governance
- execution certifications
- regulated execution domains
- delegated settlement systems
- marketplace-level replay tooling
- hybrid enterprise ecosystems
- specialized execution-class marketplaces
Future evolution will preserve canonical execution and accounting semantics.
15. Summary
The Forge Pool Marketplace extends the planetary runtime into a governed execution ecosystem.
It enables:
- customers
- providers
- adapter authors
- enterprise operators
- partners
to participate in one replay-compatible economic system while preserving:
- deterministic execution
- accounting integrity
- provider fairness
- ecosystem governance
- enterprise trust
The Marketplace does not replace the runtime.
It expands the runtime outward while keeping execution canonical.
