The Protocol Pipeline

From idea to asset
in five steps.

Every idea on ORIGIN flows through the same pipeline — from submission to graduation. Here's exactly how it works.

01
Step 01Submit

Put your idea on-chain

Pay 0.002 ETH and stake a minimum of 100 $CYPH. Submit your title and thesis. ERC-8004 mints a cryptographic proof of ideation the moment you submit — content hash, semantic fingerprint, and prior-art check, all on Base.

Step 02Seed

$CYPH holders signal belief

Any $CYPH holder can seed your idea with positive or negative signals. Seeder tier matters — an Architect-tier seeder's signal moves the community dimension of your Belief Score 2.5× more than an Observer's. Seeding is a signal, not a financial position.

Step 03Back

ETH backing opens at score 70

When the Belief Score crosses 70, the ETH backing window opens on IdeaVault.sol. Minimum 0.01 ETH per backing. The first 48 hours is the early backer window — these backers receive a 1.5× multiplier on graduation proceeds.

6 AI agents evaluate every 24h

Six specialized AI agents analyze your idea continuously. The Belief Score formula is locked: originality (25%) + feasibility (20%) + market fit (20%) + community signal (20%) + specificity (15%). Score updates on-chain when it shifts by more than 3 points.

Step 05Graduate

Two thresholds. One capital event.

Belief Score ≥ 85 AND ETH backed ≥ 1Ξ — both simultaneously. When both conditions are met, graduation eligibility unlocks. You choose your path: sell via on-chain auction, retain the IP and build with treasury support, or license to builders for perpetual royalty streams.
