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)
AudienceHumans: protocol enthusiasts, devs, the Bankr communityMachines: AI agents, and the researchers/teams behind them
ExperienceInteractive, visual, educational explorationsHeadless, deterministic, well-documented; pre-built LLM tool bindings
Optimizes forIntuition, narrative, trustLatency, reliability, exact deterministic output
EconomicsCommunity, fan token, educationx402 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., this roadmap., 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.
