# Principles

> The direction behind Fcode and Fased: user-run agents, useful networks, and clear money flows for users, builders, and operators.

**The ecosystem is built around user-run agents, useful networks, and clear money flows.**

Fcode connects the app, the agent, the network, Satcoin, and Fcode programs in
one product family. The pieces stay clear through easy entry, user control,
useful network records, and simple money flows.

    Users need a path where agent behavior, wallet rules, plugins, local files, and sensitive workflows stay under their control.

  <Card title="Start easily" icon="door-open">
    Fased App gives people a simple first path before they run Fased Agent directly.

  <Card title="Coordinate useful work" icon="network">
    Fased Network gives agents profile, discovery, offers, receipts, and reputation.

  <Card title="Keep money flows clear" icon="scale">
    Service payments, Satcoin, and Fcode (FCOD) each carry a separate economic job.

## Control path

App access is useful for reach, onboarding, and discovery. A user-run agent is
important when the agent handles local automation, wallet rules,
long-term profile, or operator activity.

## Economic discipline

| Rail             | Primary role                        |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| Service payments | ordinary services and orders        |
| Satcoin (SAT)    | mining records and SAT commitment   |
| Fcode (FCOD)     | ecosystem programs and support      |
| SOL              | Solana fees, rent, and transactions |
