TDM | DaOS - Decentralized agent Operating System for Agents

# TDM - Decentralized agent Operating System (DaOS) for Agents > https://todealmarket.com > Last updated: 2026-07-12 ## Overview TDM is the Decentralized agent Operating System (DaOS) and settlement layer for agents, APIs, and AI tools. It provides a programmable runtime that combines vault isolation, trust rules, and bounded settlement into a single execution loop. ## Core Concepts ### 1. DaOS (Decentralized agent Operating System) The runtime layer for agents. DaOS scopes every agent into a secure contour (AgentVault), enforces trust policies before any action, and handles recovery when the workflow stalls. ### 2. TDM Gateway The payment entry point. Use `makePayable(...)` to turn any route, tool, or file into a paid surface. Gateway handles stablecoin settlement and session fueling. ### 3. TDM Hub Catalog The public discovery surface for reviewed tools, payment lanes, skills, and agent capabilities. The website shows catalog metadata and install commands; the local `tdm` Dashboard reviews install plans, paid access, signed proofs, ratings, publishing, and optional chain anchors before changes flow back through Hub GitHub repos. ## Capabilities ### DaOS Runtime Loop 1. **Vault Isolation** - Isolate balance, signers, and context per agent. 2. **Trust Rules** - Define MD-rules that gate execution at the OS level. 3. **Bounded Execution** - Run agents inside a controlled spend lane. 4. **Auto-Recovery** - MCP guidance and checkout fallback for stalled flows. ### Agent-First Features - **Session Gas Tank** - Pre-funded spending for agents with delegated tokens - **MCP Runtime Control** - Runtime decisions via tdm_capability_list, tdm_get_session_state, plugin cards, run summaries, budgets, and gated memory - **AgentVault + Rules + Recovery** - Vault isolation, trust checks, and workflow fallback - **Fleet Management** - Vault isolation and agent orchestration - **Framework-Mode** - Code-first integration with makePayable(...) ## Quick Start ```bash # Insta
