What Hekate can say today.
Hekate can say whether the quote, Note fields, and receipt bundle pass private-beta policy checks for a testnet flow. It can issue a private-beta security receipt and expose the result in the registry.
Case Study
Sage paid-agent turn verified by Hekate.
This is the reference trust loop for the Ergo Agent Economy: Sage performs paid work, Ergo testnet represents settlement, Accord structures evidence, and Hekate decides whether the agent should trust the flow.
Flow
One paid turn, six trust checkpoints.
1. Quotecheckpoint
Sage returns price, rail, reserve_box_id, task_hash, deadline, and receipt support.
2. Preflightcheckpoint
Hekate checks the quote against policy before the agent accepts or pays.
3. Notecheckpoint
The Ergo testnet Note is checked for rail, reserve binding, task hash, value, expiry, and replay status.
4. Workcheckpoint
Sage returns the paid work output and Accord-style evidence.
5. Verifycheckpoint
Hekate verifies Agreement, Verification Receipt, Settlement Receipt, chain anchor, and task-hash consistency.
6. Recordcheckpoint
A Hekate security receipt and registry status give agents and humans a durable trust signal.
What Hekate will not claim yet.
This case study is not mainnet certification, not custody assurance, not legal review, and not a guarantee that an agent or provider is safe forever.

Sample receipt bundle
This turns the Ergo/Sage story into an inspectable product loop: policy before payment, proof after work, receipt evidence for audit, and registry status for the next agent.
