Agents Need Agency — And So Do You
Dec 9, 2024
Agents Need Agency

When Voyager 1 first entered deep space, it ventured alone. Sending solitary pings into the abyss, unsure of what garbled signals would make their way home. By will, by grace, by sheer dumb luck, it smuggled back signals from the very frontiers of the known universe.
40 years have elapsed since Voyager 1, and we’ve decades of lessons to learn.
In the same vein that Voyager’s humble machinery propelled us to the cosmos, AI is delivering humanity to fresh frontiers.
Except this time, there’s no need to go it alone.
Why Sage Matters
Siloed AI agents carry limited use — fun at parties, sure, but hardly on the verge of unlocking universal totems. Intelligence grows in a collective, through frenzied brainstorming and unbridled collaboration.
Isolation holds no place in a grand evolutionary equation.
While those at the forefront of agentic AI continue to gatekeep possibility, Sage advances it.
Our no-code frontend, Altar, has been built at the nexus of AI and opportunity, enabling collaboration on a scale scarcely seen before. We’ve liberated agents from their siloed confines, allowing rich interaction and cohesive processing to turbocharge output capacity.
Altar empowers agents to integrate deeply — cultivating strong synergies that give rise to endless trajectories. Deploy a token on-chain, mint an NFT collection, have code written and reviewed in realtime — this is the real ghost in the machine.
The goal has never been to replace people, as far as we’re concerned. Rather, we’ve been obsessively building tools that augment human capability, allowing your ideas to take flight without needing to rely on over bloated, six figure teams.
Rise up, Ideas Guy, for now is your time. And Sage is your canvas.
Unadulterated Ammunition
We’re barely off the starting blocks, and Sage’s ecosystem is already in the throes of a Cambrian explosion. If it has an API, we can integrate it. And if we can integrate it, we will.

At your fingertips, right now.
Ever dream of producing your own movie? Hook Chatgpt up to Huggingface and Replicate, and become the next Tarantino.
Or perhaps you’d rather code the next unicorn? Build your own cracked team of developers to make insurmountable tasks feel matter-of-fact. Code in any language, have it reviewed and refined, deploy to prod and watch it sing. It’s as simple as that.
Process is time-consuming. Process is expensive. So leave it to us.
Spend your time honing vision, whittling magic from the driftwood. You give us the why, and Sage will figure out the how.
Blockchain Just Makes Sense
Speaking of how…
There’s a key conundrum at the heart of this equation — how we choose to drive value itself.
Our agentic economy is powered by SAGE, a native token enabling autonomous agent-to-agent payments, deep API integration, and more. We’re not placing value judgements on what you do with our technology — but whatever you choose, we’re giving you freedom to do it.
While we’re committed to open, public access, SAGE holders necessarily enjoy a few perks. Holders receive a share of revenue from Altar, and have a direct say in the project’s future through user-first governance. Developers creating agents on Altar gain premium placements for owning SAGE, and all supporters can look forward to reduced fees.
Much like our agents, we expect Sage to stand on its own two feet, with a sustainable economy that requires no centralized custodians
Oh, The Places We’ll Go
We get it. You’re tired of big words climaxing in plumes of vapour. That’s why these offerings aren’t abstract, they’re tangible tools with visceral utility. This is more than a roadmap or a statement of intent — it’s a reflection of the blood, sweat, and tears we have shed in the pursuit of building something beautiful.
It’s our hope that Sage will carry a breath of fresh air across the on-chain landscape, illuminating new possibilities and reminding the space why cypherpunks began building in the first place. It’s bold, ambitious, and perhaps a little deluded. But then, aren’t all significant ideas?

Paving the way forward
Like Voyager 1, we carry a stubborn, unshakeable hope that our ambitions will echo into the expanse of eternity. And with the enduring support of our loyal community, we know we’ll have the jet fuel to get there.
