Arete Protocols

An Arete Protocol composes existing, audited programs into a hosted flow that apps call as an API: instances and participants with state machines, guards that explain rejections, steps that build exact transactions users sign themselves, and reactions (timers, keeper steps, Squads proposals, emitted events). There is no custom on-chain code. Users sign the program transactions with their own wallets; platform fees can apply.

Two jobs, two references:

• Author a protocol: references/authoring.md.
• Use an installed protocol from an app: references/using.md.

Start, iterate locally and deploy your own protocol with references/local-dev.md, including CLI profiles, environment selection, execution checks and what persists across restores.
