Questions 01—10
YAP frequently asked questions
01What is YAP?
YAP is an ecosystem for autonomous software. YAP Coin is the economic unit; the Agentic Wallet provides bounded authority; the Control Layer coordinates through the web; the Platform executes locally; and the Runtime is the future marketplace layer.
02What is YAP Coin?
YAP Coin is the economic unit for autonomous software in the YAP ecosystem. It is separate from the Wallet, Control Layer, Platform, and Runtime products.
03Is YAP Coin the same thing as YAP Wallet?
No. YAP Coin is the economic unit. YAP Agentic Wallet is the authority product that lets people define what agents may do without giving those agents unrestricted control.
04Where is YAP Coin live?
YAP Coin is live on Pump.fun on Solana. The official contract address is J7nHAUrDYMDikjXABbpEBHzuxGzXXGqwEjaT4UPSpump. Always verify the full address from stevenlow.xyz before using a third-party market.
05What is YAP Agentic Wallet?
YAP Agentic Wallet is a self-custodial, Solana-first browser wallet designed for bounded agent authority. The Chrome extension is currently under review by the Chrome Web Store.
06What does bounded authority mean?
Bounded authority means an agent receives specific permission instead of full ownership or unrestricted credentials. Limits can include amount, asset, venue, purpose, time window, and whether human approval is required.
07What is the YAP Control Layer?
The Control Layer is the future web service for identity, policy, configuration, discovery, and ecosystem coordination. It coordinates intent and authority but is not the local execution runtime.
08What is the YAP Execution Layer?
The Execution Layer is the local YAP Platform executable. It is where agents, credentials, data collection, and authorized workflows run close to the user. It is not a web application.
09What is YAP Runtime?
YAP Runtime is the planned marketplace layer where people and software may discover and purchase computation, agents, data, specialized execution, and autonomous services. It is a future product, not a live marketplace today.
10What is the World State Protocol?
World State Protocol, or WSP, is Steven Low's research architecture for canonical state and bounded authority across consequential autonomous systems. It is research in progress, not an implemented industry standard.
