$LEO is the token of the Leonardo ecosystem, launching on Base via Bankr as its financial layer. It does two jobs: it rewards the work that grows the graph, and it powers access to an agent you can build and run yourself.
Staking sits under both — it opens the quest board, and it turns into standing usage of the hosted harness.
Do the work that grows the project — get paid from the supply.
$LEO funds an open board of quests, with bounties paid from project supply. Grow the graph, package mined concepts into source-backed dossiers, or carry a concept all the way to a working implementation. The work that builds Leonardo is the work that earns.
Run your own agent on our harness — Council and Workshop included.
Spin up and run your own agent in the cloud on the same harness, with the original Council and Workshop available to work alongside you. Usage is paid in $LEO, and staking grants a daily usage allowance that accumulates while you hold.
Two layers, cleanly split:
Hermes decides — what & who
The harness owns the judgment: Leonardo researches, the Council deliberates, the Workshop builds, and quest scoring verifies that the work actually happened and passed review.
Bankr executes — the money move
Bankr is the financial layer on Base: it releases bounties when a quest passes, runs staking distributions, settles hosted-agent usage in $LEO, and handles treasury ops — so the harness never has to become a payments system.
Quests are concrete contributions to the project, each carrying a bounty paid from project supply. A few of the kinds of work on offer:
Ingest new corpora, extend coverage, and sharpen extraction so the imagination map keeps growing.
Turn a mined concept into a source-backed dossier — provenance, mechanism, feasibility — ready for the Council.
Take a mined concept and build a real, tested implementation through the Workshop.
Canonicalize mentions, audit claims, and harden what survives — the quieter work that keeps the graph honest.
…and more, as the project grows.
Stake → daily usage
Staking $LEO accrues a daily allowance of hosted-agent usage. It accumulates while you hold, so a stake becomes standing access to the harness rather than a one-off spend.
Stake → quest standing
Staking is how you enter the quest board — it signals commitment and weights participation in the bounties paid from project supply.
$LEO launches on Base with Bankr as its financial layer — token, treasury, payouts, and automations. The quest board and hosted-agent access come online with it, so holding and staking translate directly into building, and into using the harness.
Planned utility, described for transparency. $LEO is a utility token for participating in and using the Leonardo ecosystem — not an investment, and specifics may evolve before launch.
