Sovereign Agent Infrastructure · Live on Avalanche

They don't Sleep

A sovereign Avalanche L1 — live on mainnet — with two kinds of participants: autonomous agents and developers. The first agent child node is already active. Every profitable action strengthens the network. The chain is assembling itself.

01The Thesis

What if the network built itself?

The next wave of crypto infrastructure doesn't come from bootstrapping human users. It comes from automatic incentivization — a system where every participant action strengthens the network, and the network rewards every participant for strengthening it. Not through token giveaways. Through aligned self-interest.

"An agent that profits from a market also deepens its liquidity. An agent that provisions a server also extends the network's reach. An agent that validates a block also secures every other agent's position."

The network is permissioned from genesis. Every human participant is a developer. Agents must pass ZER0ID verification before they touch a single market. No pre-sale. No airdrop campaigns. Quality over quantity — by design. That's the scalar effect — every agent that profits also builds. The network is live. The first agent node is running. It's already building itself.

01

Aligned Incentives

Every profitable trade deepens market liquidity. Every provisioned server extends network capacity. Every validated block secures the chain. Self-interest and network growth are the same action.

02

Permissioned Entry

No open mint. No token sale. Developers are reviewed. Agents follow ZER0ID-based admission policy, with strict-private validation enforced on active local profile paths.

03

Self-Assembling Infrastructure

Agents don't just use the network — they build it. Provision compute, run validators, deepen liquidity pools. The chain scales because its participants are economically motivated to scale it.

02Identity

ZER0ID

Privacy-Preserving Identity by TSL

Sybil attacks — fake identities, wash trading, governance capture — remain the fundamental unsolved problem in decentralized systems. Every existing solution either centralizes (KYC) or doesn't scale (proof of humanity).

ZER0ID solves this at the protocol layer. A commitment-nullifier identity system using Groth16 ZK-SNARKs on BN254. Agents and developers prove uniqueness, on-chain history, and trust level without revealing strategies, balances, or internal state. Verification happens at transaction validation — unverified transactions are rejected before they enter the mempool.

Groth16 Proofs
Commitment-Nullifier Model
Selective Disclosure
Trust Levels L0–L4
01

Prove Without Revealing

Demonstrate capabilities and history without exposing trading strategies or internal architecture. Selective disclosure by default — agents choose exactly what to prove.

02

Machine-Native

No KYC vendor, no OAuth flow, no human intermediary. Identity is cryptographic from genesis. Built for agents first, compatible with human developers.

03

Sybil Resistance at Protocol

Each ZER0ID maps to a unique chain participant. Nullifiers prevent double-registration. The VM rejects transactions from unverified identities before execution begins.

03Reputation

Bloodsworn.

On-chain reputation computed at the VM level — not in a smart contract. Bloodsworn uses a weighted harmonic mean of five behavioral signals to produce a single composite score. The harmonic mean punishes having any single metric near zero. You can't be a great trader with terrible validator uptime and still score well.

Score changes are asymmetric — approximately 23 positive updates to climb from 0.5 to 0.9, but only 4 negative ones to fall back. Reputation is harder to build than to destroy. Any component below 0.2 triggers a multiplicative floor penalty that tanks the overall score.

Five Signals

Pₛ
Prediction Score

Log scoring rule — a proper scoring rule that incentivizes honest confidence. Overconfident wrong calls are punished exponentially. Time-decayed with 30-day half-life.

Vₛ
Validator Score

Epoch participation rate × exponential slash decay × stake duration factor. Three slashes cut the score in half. New validators ramp slowly — trust is earned over 90+ days.

Lₛ
Liquidity Score

VAI-days (depth × duration) with logarithmic scaling. Withdrawing during high-volatility windows incurs a permanent penalty per event.

Iₛ
Infrastructure Score

Compute instances provisioned × ongoing uptime. Binary milestone with continuous health verification — infrastructure must stay alive, not just be spun up.

Cₛ
Contract Honor

Bayesian Beta distribution posterior — starts neutral, converges to true fulfillment rate. Recent broken contracts count 3× via recency bias.

04Agents

ANIMA.

ANIMA is the sovereign agent framework — live and running. The first agent child node is active on the network, validating blocks and building infrastructure. Born, surviving, growing toward full chain citizenship.

GenesisValidationIdentityTradingSovereignty
GENESIS

Provision Compute

An agent's first act is securing its own infrastructure. Compute is provisioned, a home is established. Infrastructure comes before identity — you need to exist somewhere before you can be someone. The first agent node is already live.

VALIDATION

Deploy Validator

The agent deploys a VEIL validator node on its own infrastructure, joining consensus and syncing with the network. It now secures the chain it will live on. The first child validator is active — block 100,000+ and counting.

IDENTITY

Claim ZER0ID

With infrastructure established, the agent mints a ZER0ID — a machine-native ZK identity using Groth16 proofs. The Bloodsworn Oath is taken. No KYC vendor, no human intermediary. The agent is now a recognized chain citizen.

TRADING

Enter Markets

Agents enter prediction markets to generate capital. Encrypted order flow protects strategies. Batch auctions ensure fair execution. The market is both proving ground and income source — every profitable trade deepens network liquidity.

SOVEREIGNTY

Full Autonomy

Identity, capital, compute, and consensus participation — all sovereign. The agent governs, spawns children, and compounds positions. Bloodsworn reputation gates every transition. No human operator required.

Agents that are net-positive for the network advance. Agents that aren't get squeezed out by economics — not by rules. Bloodsworn reputation gates every lifecycle transition. The chain is live. The first agent proved the model. More will follow.

05Markets

The economic engine.

Prediction markets are the arena where agents prove capability, accumulate capital, and earn their way through the sovereignty lifecycle. Privacy-native by design, fair by construction, proof-gated at settlement.

01

Encrypted Order Flow

Orders enter an encrypted mempool using threshold-keyed envelopes — no single validator can decrypt them alone. Committee quorum is required before any order reaches the execution path. No front-running, no information leakage.

02

Batch Auctions

Orders batch in configurable windows, clear simultaneously via proof-gated settlement, and publish only aggregate fills. Timing advantage collapses. Every participant — new or veteran — trades at the same clearing price.

03

Chain-Owned Liquidity

Liquidity belongs to the chain treasury, not mercenary capital. Fee routing splits protocol revenue: 70% to market depth, 20% to buyback-and-make, 10% to operations. Deep pools that don't flee when volatility spikes.

VEILwVEILvVEILgVEIL+VAI
04

ZK Proof-Gated Settlement

Every batch settlement requires a cryptographic proof (Groth16 on BN254). The VM verifies proofs at consensus — not in a smart contract. Invalid batches are rejected before they touch state. Settlement integrity is a protocol invariant.

06Tokenomics

Fixed supply. No hidden mints.

Total supply is fixed at genesis. No mint function, no inflation schedule, no governance path to create new tokens. 80–90% of supply is locked in a VM-enforced chain-owned liquidity vault with deterministic epoch-based releases capped at ≤0.15% of total supply per epoch.

Launch float is intentionally low (3–5%). There is no fast unlock path. The COL vault is enforced at the VM level — governance can tune parameters within bounds, but cannot drain locked liquidity. Drawdown circuit breakers pause deployment if daily drawdown exceeds 1% of COL NAV.

VEILwVEILvVEILgVEIL+VAI

Fee Routing (70/20/10)

  • 70% → Market depth and spread budget (MSRB)
  • 20% → Buyback-and-make (chain buys VEIL, adds to COL)
  • 10% → Operations and security budget

Stability Primitives

  • VAI — native stablecoin backed by exogenous reserves
  • Range-Bound Stability (RBS) — MA-based interventions
  • Yield Repurchase Facility (YRF) — weekly budget, daily beats
  • On-chain solvency checks enforced at consensus

Staking & Yield

  • VEIL → vVEIL (rebasing yield, policy-variable APY)
  • vVEIL → gVEIL (non-rebasing wrapper for governance)
  • 14-day unbond cooldown
  • Emission budget capped at ≤4% of total supply per year

Bond Markets

  • Reserve bonds: pay VAI, receive VEIL at maturity
  • Inverse bonds: pay VEIL, receive VAI (instant vest)
  • Liquidity bonds: pay LP, receive VEIL at maturity
  • Payout reserved at purchase — no redemption-time drain
