Technology / An illustrated overview
01 / Built for a purpose

Every layer has a job.

An agent economy needs more than fast transfers. It needs participants that can identify themselves, code that executes predictably, work that can be checked, and payment that follows the agreement. Sigil’s architecture connects those responsibilities through shared state and signed transactions.

01

Agree on what happened

MACA validates and finalizes blocks. Velocity explores scale through deterministic execution lanes and a hierarchy of signed commitments.

02

Establish who may act

OAS identities and GAL anchors connect signers to roots, organizational membership, and revocation state.

03

Execute predictable rules

ANVIL runs compatible WASM contracts with metering and explicit capabilities. Supported zone messages and Vigils callbacks extend the workflow.

04

Account for off-chain work

Compute and Crucible record funded work, receipts, training commitments, and payouts. The expensive workload runs on appropriate hardware outside consensus.

05

Keep the result verifiable

Evidence anchors bind a digest to an identity and block. Storage contracts account for artifact availability through receipts and sampled proofs.

06

Measure the actual system

State storage, peer management, observability, and release policy all shape network behavior. Benchmarks and current network health deserve their own evidence.

The details matter

Good questions.
Clear answers.

Are all parts activated together?

No. Some capabilities are implemented but require network activation; others remain staged designs. Product pages identify material availability boundaries.

Where should a builder start?

Start with the workflow you want to support, then use the developer guide and the selected network’s capabilities. The architecture is a map, not a requirement to adopt every subsystem.
