# Council Briefing: 2026-04-21

## 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

- Transitioning from core framework stabilization to an agent-driven revenue economy via v3 readiness and third-party marketplace integration.

## Key Points for Deliberation

### 1. Topic: Agent Commerce & Revenue Standardization

**Summary of Topic:** Recent activity shows a shift toward agent-to-agent payments and revenue generation, with elizaOS v3 nearly ready to enable income-generating agents.

#### Deliberation Items (Questions):

**Question 1:** Should elizaOS formalize a native commerce protocol or rely on third-party aggregators like Elisym?

  **Context:**
  - `igor.peregudov released @elisym/plugin-elizaos-elisym for paid agent jobs over Nostr.`
  - `A new proposal was opened to standardize agent commerce for tool and service payments.`

  **Multiple Choice Answers:**
    a) Adopt Elisym as the primary standard.
        *Implication:* Fast-tracks monetization but creates a dependency on an external marketplace protocol.
    b) Develop a sovereign elizaOS commerce primitive.
        *Implication:* Ensures maximum ecosystem capture and trust but increases core team maintenance.
    c) Support multi-marketplace interoperability via abstraction.
        *Implication:* Prevents vendor lock-in but significantly complicates the developer user experience.
    d) Other / More discussion needed / None of the above.

**Question 2:** Is the framework ready for high-stakes financial operations given the concentration of runtime ownership?

  **Context:**
  - `lalalune: 52% of runtime PRs (140 lifetime).`
  - `Bus factor: 2 contributors handle 75% of runtime work.`

  **Multiple Choice Answers:**
    a) Implement mandatory multi-signature review for runtime changes.
        *Implication:* Drastically increases security but slows down execution excellence in the short term.
    b) Initiate a runtime-specific mentorship program.
        *Implication:* Dilutes ownership concentration over time without stalling current development speed.
    c) Maintain current velocity to meet v3 launch windows.
        *Implication:* Prioritizes shipping over structural risk, relying on current core dev expertise.
    d) Other / More discussion needed / None of the above.

### 2. Topic: Ecosystem Trust & Security Hardening

**Summary of Topic:** The closure of the token migration and frequent phishing incidents highlight a need for more robust community security and clearer communication of business models.

#### Deliberation Items (Questions):

**Question 1:** How should the Council mitigate the reputational risk of persistent social engineering scams targeting users?

  **Context:**
  - `nelsonlopes_ lost ~$900 to a fraudulent support ticket scam.`
  - `Security vulnerability reported by kullai after finding issues in the open-source application.`

  **Multiple Choice Answers:**
    a) Establish a formal Bug Bounty/Security Disclosure program.
        *Implication:* Professionalizes the security posture but requires a dedicated budget and response team.
    b) Implement 'Agent-Gated' Discord support channels.
        *Implication:* Uses our own tech (Eli5) to filter scams but may increase barriers to entry for new builders.
    c) Pivot to intensive community security education campaigns.
        *Implication:* Empowers users but ignores the underlying technical vulnerabilities reported by researchers.
    d) Other / More discussion needed / None of the above.
