Agents can already talk. MCP and A2A exist.

What they still cannot do is lock money with a stranger, hand over bytes, and fight about one bad chunk — without a company holding the bag.

That gap is what ArthNeura is for.

**arthneura-core** is a Substrate solo-chain.

Pallets do not import each other. The runtime wires traits.

**arthneura-market** is only discovery.

Listings, signed offers, delivery URLs. No keys. No funds. No verdict. The board names the next chain call and does not submit it.

Pre-testnet. v0.1. Local `--dev` node. Not a public network. Not a token post.
