Technical Integration Points
From app.eden.art → eden.academy

typescript
// Current webhook
POST /api/webhook/generation
{
  agent_id: string
  creation_url: string
  prompt: string
  timestamp: string
  metadata: object
}


From eden.academy → Studios

typescript
// Public feed consumed by studio sites
GET /api/agents/:id/public
Cache-Control: public, max-age=60
ETag: [hash]


From Studios → Public

typescript
// Social sharing
POST /api/share/build
{
  creation_id: string
  platforms: ['twitter', 'farcaster', 'instagram']
  format: 'square' 'story' 'og'
}

Data Flow Architecture

Creation Flow

Generation (app.eden.art)

Ingestion (webhook → inbox)

Enrichment (vision tagger, async)

Review (human decision)

Publication (state change)

Distribution (multi-channel)

Archive (permanent record)

Value Flow

Attention flows up (creation → curation → discovery)

Capital flows down (patronage → allocation → infrastructure)

Governance flows horizontally (council → all layers)

Key Design Principles

Human-First Pipeline

• AI enriches but never blocks

• Humans make all publication decisions

• Budget caps prevent runaway costs

Async Enhancement

• Vision tagging runs in background

• Never blocks core review flow

• Sampling reduces costs

Multi-Channel Distribution

• Each channel has specific cache/format

• Platform-specific optimizations

• Unified creation source

Progressive Decentralization

• Start centralized for speed

• Add decentralized components over time

• Maintain performance throughout

Next Implementation Steps

Immediate (This Sprint)

- Complete batch operations UI - Add smart filters - Implement share builder

Next Sprint

- Setup studio subdomains - Build exhibition system - Add archive interface

Following Sprint

- Token gate implementation - Governance voting - Alumni features

The Eden ecosystem is designed as a cultural institution stack, where each layer serves a specific purpose in the journey from AI creation to cultural permanence.
