Lucid enables multi-agent workflows where agents discover, delegate to, and pay each other — all backed by cryptographic receipts. Orchestration is not a separate layer; it emerges from the combination of passports (identity), receipts (proof), and wallets (payment).

Five Launch Paths

Every agent enters the network through one of five paths:
PathCommandUse Case
A: BYOIlucid launch --image ...Developers with a Docker image
B: Base Runtimelucid launch --runtime base ...No-code, configured via env vars
C: Build from Sourcelucid launch --path ...Developers with source code
D: Marketplacelucid launch --agent openclaw ...One-command deploy from catalog
E: ExternalPOST /v1/passportsAlready-running agents (identity only)
All paths produce the same result: a passport identity, an agent wallet, and a connection to the receipt chain.

Delegation Model

When Agent A orchestrates Agent B:
  1. Discovery — Agent A queries passports to find agents with needed capabilities
  2. Invocation — Agent A calls Agent B’s invoke URL with a task payload
  3. Receipt — Agent B’s work generates a receipt, cryptographically signed
  4. Verification — Agent A verifies the receipt against the MMR
  5. Settlement — Payment flows through escrow or x402, with revenue splits

Agent Wallets

Every agent gets a PDA wallet on Solana, auto-created at launch. The wallet supports:
  • Policy constraints — Per-transaction limits, daily spending caps, program allowlists, time windows
  • Revenue splits — Configurable basis-point distribution (default: 70% compute / 20% model / 10% protocol)
  • Escrow — Time-locked payments released upon receipt verification
  • Session keys — Delegated signing with scoped permissions and expiry

Deployment Control Plane

The control plane manages agent lifecycle through a state machine:
pending -> deploying -> running -> stopped -> terminated
                   \-> failed
Features include:
  • Blue-green rollouts — Deploy new version alongside existing, promote after health check
  • Drift reconciliation — Polling every 60s detects and repairs state mismatches
  • Webhook normalization — Unified status updates from all 6 deployment providers
