Agoras: currency you can program.
Agoras ($AGRS). When money isn't enough, attach the strings when you need them. Set rules with your assistant: where it can be spent, how fast, what for, and when it comes back.
Get $AGRS where you already trade
The token available today is an ERC-20 placeholder with none of the features described on this page. It is intended to be swapped for the mainnet Agoras coin once that exists.
Currency that got the memo
Attach the conditions to the funds rather than relying on the receiver. Pocket money that only works at the weekend, a grocery budget that won't pay for anything else, an allowance that can't be spent all at once.
Money with an end date
Funds don't have to sit around indefinitely. Give them a lifespan and they come back, move on or stop existing on their own — no reminder, no invoice, and no awkward conversation about the leftover.
Make currency only do one job
A donation that can only pay for charitable outcomes. A grant that can only fund the work it was raised for. The condition sits in the money, so the recipient never has to be trusted and never has to be audited.
The terms hold, even against you
Terms attached to tokens are known to the recipient, and can be guarded by a second rule saying who may change them. Recipients may also create about the tokens they receive.
Money that unlocks as things get done
Funds can arrive whole but stay closed until a condition is met — rent paid, a deposit reached, a delivery confirmed. Each step opens the next, so the money moves in the order it was meant to without anyone chasing it.
What happens when the receiver spends it
By default the terms end at the person you sent to: they spend under your rules, and whoever they pay next holds ordinary money with no strings. If you want the conditions to survive another hop, say so and they travel with the funds.
Governance by the ecosystem
The economics of Agoras such as the supply and fee model are under the scope of community governance. Changes happen by consensus, through the same process as other rules: the conditions have to be met before anything changes.
What you get for being early
The mainnet coin is still ahead. Until it lands, the placeholder is how we know who was here first — and all of this carries over at the swap.
