Planetary Execution Topology
Forge Pool is a contract-centric execution network.
The system is organized into four functional layers:
- Web Core — control plane: auth, policy, billing, job lifecycle
- Hub — execution authority: sharding, scheduling, verification, aggregation
- Agent Mesh — shard execution across heterogeneous compute
- Memory & Artifacts — blobs, KV, replay traces, immutable execution records
The Kernel defines execution semantics across all layers.

Aggregation + Artifacts + ReplayWeb Core
Web Core is the policy boundary:
- project identity and auth
- rate limits and quotas
- billing mode and ledger discipline
- job lifecycle and immutable records
Hub
The Hub is the execution authority:
- deterministic shard planning
- scheduling and routing
- verification enforcement
- deterministic aggregation and result packaging
The Hub does not “do the math.” It enforces execution integrity.
Agent Mesh
Agents are untrusted workers:
- execute shard-only context
- return signed results and metrics
- operate under sandbox constraints
- participate in verification policy (when enabled)
No single agent defines truth.
Kernel
The Kernel defines:
- canonical execution contract
- determinism rules and seed derivation
- replay requirements
- workload typing and versioning discipline
- verification policy surface
- aggregation semantics
Verification
Verification is embedded into execution and is policy-controlled:
- redundant execution (spotcheck / quorum)
- statistical boundary checks (for probabilistic workloads)
- integrity hashes (results and artifacts)
- reputation scoring and scheduling penalties
