Two Legs, One Engine
Feel Your Protocol is designed around two legs that share one engine. The same EthereumJS core would power both the educational website (which exists today) and a headless agent API for the future Ethereum protocol (which we're still designing) — but each leg serves a different audience and is framed differently.
The two legs
| Leg A — Website (live) | Leg B — Future-protocol API & MCP server (planned) | |
|---|---|---|
| Audience | Humans: protocol enthusiasts, devs, the Bankr community | Machines: AI agents, and the researchers/teams behind them |
| Experience | Interactive, visual, educational explorations | Headless, deterministic, well-documented; pre-built LLM tool bindings |
| Optimizes for | Intuition, narrative, trust | Latency, reliability, exact deterministic output |
| Economics | Community, fan token, education | x402 pay-per-use in USDC (concept) |
The shared engine is the modular EthereumJS stack and the fork/EIP pipeline behind it — already real on the website side; the agent-facing layer is what Phase 3 adds.
They reinforce each other (the DevRel funnel)
An early instinct was to fully separate "marketing" the website from the API. That's wrong: aesthetics don't sell infrastructure, but trust, reputation and educational authority absolutely do. The website is the project's DevRel engine — and it's already running:
- Proof-of-work halo. A meticulous, interactive breakdown of a fork is undeniable proof of competence — it should convert into technical trust for the API underneath once that exists.
- Education as top-of-funnel. People arrive to learn about an upcoming protocol change; the natural next step will be to use the API to act on it.
- The agent trust proxy. Humans configure which tools their agents may use. A developer will be far more likely to allowlist our MCP server if they already know and trust the FYP website.
A simple mental model:
The website is the textbook. The API is the lab equipment.
Leg B doesn't exist yet — but we're building the website as if that connection is coming, so the funnel is ready when the API lands.
How they connect, concretely
- The website remains the visual entry point — each exploration can eventually link to the specific API capability it showcases.
- Both legs would live as separate sites/subdomains, with the main website acting as the binding ground that ties the fleet together (
docs.,community-token., thisroadmap., and a future API-docs subdomain once there is something to document).
The discipline this requires
Two legs means two kinds of work — UI/narrative polish vs. ruthless uptime and deterministic testing. As a small team this is a real resource tension; we manage it explicitly rather than pretending both can move at full speed at once. See Principles & Operating Discipline.
