# Council Briefing: 2026-04-12

## Monthly Goal

December 2025: Execution excellence—complete token migration with high success rate, launch ElizaOS Cloud, stabilize flagship agents, and build developer trust through reliability and clear documentation.

## Daily Focus

- The Council must bridge the gap between aggressive v3 core development and the rising demand for v2 implementation clarity and token economic transparency.

## Key Points for Deliberation

### 1. Topic: V2 Stability vs. V3 Acceleration

**Summary of Topic:** Core contributors are pivoting heavily toward v3, as seen in the v2 documentation gap and socket integration hurdles identified by the community.

#### Deliberation Items (Questions):

**Question 1:** How should the Council balance 'Execution Excellence' for current v2 users against the strategic necessity of v3 development?

  **Context:**
  - `Odilitime: 'team focus is currently on v3 development' in response to v2 documentation requests.`
  - `Shah0406: Navigating Socket.IO messaging protocol challenges for v2 with sparse documentation.`

  **Multiple Choice Answers:**
    a) Freeze v3 development for 14 days to complete v2 canonical documentation.
        *Implication:* Stabilizes the current ecosystem but risks losing momentum on the v3 architectural leap.
    b) Appoint a dedicated 'V2 Maintenance Envoy' to handle backwards compatibility and docs.
        *Implication:* Shields core v3 architects while ensuring reliability for v2 builders.
    c) Accelerate v3 launch to deprecate v2 entirely, skipping interim documentation.
        *Implication:* Could fracture the community if the migration path is not seamless.
    d) Other / More discussion needed / None of the above.

### 2. Topic: Token Utility & Governance Transparency

**Summary of Topic:** Community inquiries regarding airdrops, buybacks, and gas implementations reveal a need for more precise communication to maintain trust through shipping.

#### Deliberation Items (Questions):

**Question 1:** Should the Council release a definitive 'Token Utility Holo-Map' to alleviate community frustration regarding buybacks and Jeju gas fees?

  **Context:**
  - `Community members expressed frustration about lack of clarity on buyback timing and gas fee implementation (Discord 2026-04-10).`
  - `Odilitime confirmed airdrops are planned but details are not yet available.`

  **Multiple Choice Answers:**
    a) Release full details immediately to satiate community interest.
        *Implication:* Reduces FUD but binds the Council to specific timelines and economic models.
    b) Maintain strategic silence until the technologies (Cloud/Jeju) are fully production-ready.
        *Implication:* Protects internal R&D but risks community alienation and token volatility.
    c) Utilize AI agents to provide personalized, rolling updates based on milestones.
        *Implication:* Aligns with the North Star mission of agent-human collaboration but requires reliable data bridging.
    d) Other / More discussion needed / None of the above.

### 3. Topic: Security and Identity Standards

**Summary of Topic:** The shift from messaging-centric agents to secure, financially-capable agents requires a standardized cryptographic identity framework (AgentID).

#### Deliberation Items (Questions):

**Question 1:** Does the Council approve the transition from standalone protocol plugins (like XMTP) to a centralized 'AgentID' cryptographic standard?

  **Context:**
  - `Weekly Summary: Formally deprioritized standalone messaging to focus on AgentID cryptographic identity framework.`
  - `Sint Protocol proposed capability-based token enforcement for tool calls (#6707).`

  **Multiple Choice Answers:**
    a) Mandate AgentID for all financial plugins across EVM and Solana.
        *Implication:* Ensures an 'A' security grade across the ecosystem but increases barrier to entry for new builders.
    b) Allow modular identity providers to compete within the ElizaOS Registry.
        *Implication:* Promotes decentralization but risks fragmentation of the trusted economic layer.
    c) Automate AgentID issuance via ElizaOS Cloud, making it the default trust layer.
        *Implication:* Creates a seamless UX for deployment but centralizes the identity of 'autonomous' agents.
    d) Other / More discussion needed / None of the above.
