System Overview

Ghast AI connects private AI work in the Workbench with service-level commerce in the Protocol. The Capability is the market primitive that carries a defined service between them.

Work begins in the Workbench. A Creator packages one specific service as a Capability with a Defined Claim, price, and evidence requirements. A Buyer purchases a fixed version and supplies the required inputs, while the Creator-controlled workflow performs the work.

Ghast Protocol binds the purchase to those terms, records the result and evidence, evaluates delivery against the claim, and resolves payment. Each execution and its outcome become part of that service’s Capability History.
