Open Code Mission — OS Mission V1.0, the future of provable data and accountable AI.
On 31 January 2026 we take OS Mission to General Availability. This is not a single feature launch. It is a full stack release of control plane, protocol, adapters, SDK, and an agentic development studio that all work together around one idea: AI should run on evidence you can defend.
This piece is the overview. In the run up to GA we will publish separate articles for each component.
1. OS Mission, the control plane for verifiable AI
OS Mission is the control plane that sits above data stores, models, and applications. Its job is simple to state and hard to implement: turn important events in your estate into evidence grade objects with provenance, policy, and context, so every significant action can be traced and explained.
At v1.0, OS Mission provides:
- A consistent way to onboard data and events into an evidence model
- Policy hooks for governance, privacy, and jurisdiction
- Integration points for AI systems so decisions are recorded as verifiable outcomes, not just log lines
Everything else we are releasing hangs off this layer.
2. The Open Code Data Protocol (OCDP)
The Open Code Data Protocol is the specification that defines how evidence travels through the system. It describes how a Lumen is formed, what metadata it carries, and how it is checked over its lifetime.
For v1.0 you can think of OCDP as:
- A schema for representing critical records as self describing evidence units
- A ruleset for how provenance, integrity checks, and policy context are attached
- A transport and verification model that is independent of any single vendor, store, or cloud
OS Mission uses OCDP internally, and the SDK exposes it to developers so they can build on the same primitives we use.
3. Blockchain anchoring — first adapter: Solana
Evidence is only as strong as its ability to show that it has not been quietly altered. For that reason, OS Mission v1.0 ships with a first blockchain anchoring adapter targeting Solana.
Without leaking implementation details, the intent is:
- Batch and anchor compact commitments to sets of Lumens
- Keep on-chain footprint small while still providing strong tamper evidence
- Make anchoring a background operation, not an application concern
Additional anchor adapters will follow. Solana is simply the first we are supporting at GA.
4. Storage integration — first adapter: Google Cloud
The second adapter shipping at v1.0 is for data storage. Our first supported storage environment is Google Cloud.
The design goal here is:
- Treat cloud storage as a durable substrate for evidence payloads
- Keep OCDP and OS Mission neutral to the underlying provider
- Allow future storage adapters to be added without changing how Lumens work
Enterprises can continue to use their existing cloud and data platforms. OS Mission and OCDP sit above, providing a verifiable layer rather than asking you to replace everything you already operate.
5. SDK and developer documentation
A protocol and control plane only matter if developers can use them directly. OS Mission v1.0 ships with a fully documented SDK and API surface.
At a high level, the SDK will give teams:
- Client libraries that wrap OCDP concepts such as Lumen creation, verification, and queries
- Clear API reference for integrating applications, pipelines, and AI systems with OS Mission
- Worked examples that show how to implement common patterns such as verifiable event capture, decision logging, and audit ready reporting
Documentation is written for engineers who need to move quickly but cannot compromise on auditability or compliance.
6. The visual agent and pattern studio
The largest "new" element we are releasing is the agentic development environment you see in the screenshots.
We are not shipping a toy demo. This is the internal studio we use ourselves, now hardened for customers.
Conceptually, it provides:
- A gallery of agent patterns — single agent runs, sequential chains, fan-out and aggregation, map-reduce style flows, debate and consensus structures, reflection loops, tree-structured reasoning, ReAct-style reason-and-act cycles, and more
- A topology view that shows how inputs, agent roles, and outputs connect for each pattern
- Per-pattern settings so you can tune behaviour without rewriting code
- Panels for configuring models, prompts, tools, and parameters for each role in a pattern
- Live metrics for duration, cost, and token usage, plus execution history for inspection and replay
Most importantly, the studio is wired into OS Mission and OCDP. When you run an agent pattern, its significant actions can be captured as Lumens. That means:
- Agent behaviour is not a black box — it is observable and auditable
- High stakes workflows can be inspected later with evidence of what each step did
- Teams can experiment with complex agent topologies without stepping outside the governance and accountability fabric
This environment is fully working today inside our own development and operations. At v1.0 it becomes part of what customers receive.
7. How the pieces fit together
On 31 January 2026, the picture looks like this:
- OS Mission provides the control plane for verifiable data and AI behaviour
- OCDP defines the evidence objects and verification rules that OS Mission enforces
- Solana anchoring adds tamper-evident commitments to those objects
- Google Cloud provides one of the initial storage substrates
- The SDK and APIs let developers integrate all of this into their systems
- The visual agent studio lets teams design and operate agentic workflows that run on top of verifiable data rather than opaque logs
The intent is that you can start simple — for example by using OS Mission and OCDP just to record critical events — and grow into more advanced agentic patterns as your needs evolve, without changing the underlying evidence model.
8. What comes next
This article is only the overview. Over the coming weeks we will publish separate pieces that go deep into:
- OS Mission as the evidence-first control plane
- The Open Code Data Protocol and the design of a Lumen
- Our anchoring strategy and why we chose our first chain adapter
- Storage and deployment topologies
- The SDK and practical integration patterns
- The agent studio, pattern library, and how to think about designing agents on top of verifiable data
Each article will include more technical detail, diagrams, and examples for teams who want to be ready on day one of GA.
9. Invitation
If you want to follow this in detail, you will find the most complete picture at opencodemission.com. The site is written for serious readers who want to see how the pieces fit together.
Throughout the site there are quiet, unobtrusive ways to join our waitlist. If you want to stay close to what we are building as OS Mission v1.0 approaches General Availability, that is the best way to do it.
