# agent-substrate/substrate

> Agent Substrate is a secure-by-default agent execution runtime built on Kubernetes that multiplexes many "actors" onto a small pool of workers with sub-second suspend/resume and isolation via microVMs and gVisor. It is meant for running agent workloads at scale, not for building them.

## Useful for

- Run hundreds of stateful agents on a few pods while preserving state across sessions
- Deploy sandboxed MCP servers as Substrate actors to provide secure model tools
- Set up high-density coding-agent environments that keep filesystem state between runs

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-03 (UTC), 00:35–19:44: 6031 → 6049 stars (+18). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +22 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @den-vasyliev (251 followers).

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
