Elpis

ELPIS / LICENSING

Licensed software. Your deployment.

Elpis runs on your Cloudflare account, your database and your keys. We hold no money, run no service for you and take no share of any payment.

An annual licence, priced by capability. Prices are agreed with design partners before they are published.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Evaluate everything.

On Arc Testnet, a local chain or the public playground, every capability is unlocked and no licence is required. A licence gates real money on Arc mainnet — it does not gate the ability to find out whether the product is right for you.

Licence tiers

Starter

ANNUAL

One team, one treasury

Everything needed to control, verify, settle and recover a first agent payment.

  • Deterministic control, evidence and settlement
  • Recoverability classes and the Lazarus Window
  • Self-custody vault and guardian recovery
  • REST API, MCP and signed webhooks
  • One organization

Testnet and local deployments are fully unlocked.

Team

ANNUAL

Several people and several treasuries

The operational layer a small team needs once the first payment works.

  • Everything in Starter
  • Multiple organizations and team roles
  • Approval workflows by Slack or email
  • Policy templates
  • Structured audit export
  • Signed organization and monthly settlement caps

Caps are part of the licence, not a per-transaction fee.

Enterprise

ANNUAL

A regulated or reviewed deployment

Identity, key custody and evidence export for a deployment that will be audited.

  • Everything in Team
  • SSO through OIDC or SAML
  • KMS / HSM signers for the attestor and operator side
  • SIEM and log export
  • Retention controls and role-based access
  • Compliance report pack

Some adapters are delivered with the licence; confirm current availability at onboarding.

A licence names a plan and its entitlements inside an Ed25519 signature, so the grant cannot be edited locally. Two caps may be signed into it — organizations and settled actions per month — and both are counted from your own ledger. Neither is a fee, and nothing is reported to us.

FOR CONSULTANCIES

Operator-partner.

Host Elpis for your own clients, under your own brand and support address.

Everything in Enterprise, plus unlimited organizations, white-label branding and your own support contact. The partner carries the operator role and the legal responsibility for the deployments it hosts; the licence says so plainly.

The public demo stays on Arc Testnet. Settlement stays on Arc. We do not operate a partner's deployment, hold its keys or touch its customers' data.

RENEWAL

What a current licence buys.

The application keeps running after expiry, and a lapse never locks you out of money you can still recover. New payment proposals and new organizations are refused; reads, refunds, recalls, approvals of payments already staged and exports keep working.

A current licence buys delivery: new releases, security patches and the audited contract fingerprint until updatesUntil. That is the renewal benefit, stated before you buy rather than discovered at expiry.

No prices yet. On purpose.

We are running a design-partner programme before publishing a price list. The evidence that matters is not a sign-up: it is whether a team uses Elpis on a real workflow and renews.

The contracts have not been independently audited. Nothing here is a claim of production safety, and a licence is not an audit.
