: : [Crypto/Issue] Talus v2: Building Trust into Agent Execution
Written by Jun

- Talus v2 merges an agent's permissions, budgets, verification, and scheduling into a single onchain Execution Model. Heavy computation and external data collection stay offchain, while tool permissions, result evidence, payments, and refunds are recorded onchain, making it possible to trace and settle who executed what, under which authority, and at what cost.

- Budgets are fixed before execution: costs are locked per vertex and settled only after the result passes verification, while price snapshots and refunds of unused budget contain mid-run price changes and failures. Three verification paths (basic recording, registered signing keys, and external Move contracts including ZK proofs) let each vertex apply a different level of trust.

- With the v2 mainnet, Leader deposits, tool bonds, and priority fees all converge on the $US token, placing execution records and the token economy on the same settlement layer. Talus's value must now be proven not by registered agents or one-off demos, but by whether the same Task repeatedly generates paid calls, verification decisions, and settlements.
