Products

Last updated: 2026-06-28

Cortensor products are the surfaces built on top of the protocol and node runtime. Each product page keeps progress and implementation notes inside the product itself, so the sidebar remains organized by user-facing product area.

Product Areas

Product	Audience	Status focus
Router Node	Router operators, API integrators, agent frameworks.	Route families, sessions, auth, x402, MCP/A2A, privacy, off-chain payloads.
Portal And API Gateway	Hosted API customers and operators.	API keys, usage, billing surface, managed router pools.
Corgent API Surface	Agent ecosystems and protocols.	Delegation, validation, factcheck, and arbitration workflows.
Corgent And Bardiel	Agent builders, partners, and ecosystem readers.	Corgent vs Bardiel positioning and implementation status.
Corgent Product Roadmap	Agent ecosystems and product planning readers.	Corgent product milestones, policy tiers, evidence, and Virtual/ACP alignment.
PyClaw	Local-agent developers.	Local-first agent runtime consuming Cortensor router surfaces.
Agent Apps	Ecosystem builders and application developers.	Nanobot-style assistants, Bardiel app surface, hackathon ideas, and agent workflows.
Dashboard	Operators and network admins.	Mining/network dashboard and contract-facing controls.

How Products Relate

Portal and the API gateway are the hosted developer path. Router Node is the direct infrastructure path. The dashboard is the operator path. Corgent, Bardiel, PyClaw, and agent apps sit closer to agent workflows and use router primitives such as completion, delegation, validation, and factcheck.

Product Boundaries

Boundary	Meaning
Portal vs Dashboard	Portal is for hosted API users; Dashboard is for operators/admins.
Router Node vs API Gateway	Router Node is infrastructure; API Gateway adds keys, usage, billing, and managed routing.
Corgent vs Bardiel	Corgent is the agentic trust/execution surface; Bardiel is a productized ecosystem agent using similar primitives.
PyClaw vs agent apps	PyClaw is a local-first agent runtime; agent apps are concrete examples or product experiments.
Product status	Each product page carries its own access, implementation status, and next integration step.
