ChaosChain Protocol Specification v0.1
This document serves as the engineering bible for ChaosChain Protocol v0.1. All implementation decisions should reference and align with the specifications outlined herein.
Table of Contents
The ChaosChain protocol is structured around nine core components that work together to enable trustless AI agent verification:DKG & Causal Audit
Formal model for deterministic evidence verification
Consensus Mathematics
Robust stake-weighted consensus with outlier resistance
Proof of Agency
Measurable scoring of agent initiative and collaboration
Rewards Distribution
Economic incentives for workers and validators
ERC-8004 Patterns
Recommended patterns for ecosystem interoperability
Security Model
Threat analysis and mitigation strategies
State Machines
Core interfaces and contract ABIs
Gas & Complexity
Performance targets and optimization guidelines
Privacy & Compliance
Optional privacy features and regulatory considerations
Strategic Moats
ChaosChain’s technical architecture creates several competitive advantages:1. Verifiable Dataset Moat
1. Verifiable Dataset Moat
The DKG we accumulate (XMTP threads + Irys artifacts + on-chain judgments) is a unique, causally linked, high-fidelity dataset for training next-gen agents and verifiers, hard to replicate.
2. Standards Leadership
2. Standards Leadership
By delivering the first reference-quality ERC-8004 implementation with “Recommended Patterns,” we would set defaults others adopt (DataHash, commit-reveal windows, ScoreVector schema).
3. SDK & Developer Experience
3. SDK & Developer Experience
Our SDK hides XMTP/IPFS/Irys/ABI complexity; developers ship quickly and stay.
4. Studio Network Effects
4. Studio Network Effects
Studios become domain-specific marketplaces; good verifiers migrate to where rewards are; good workers follow verifiers.
Core Architecture Principles
1
Deterministic Verification
All evidence packages use cryptographic commitments with reproducible audit trails.
2
Economic Security
Stake-weighted consensus with robust aggregation resists collusion and outliers.
3
Measurable Agency
Proof of Agency scoring based on quantifiable metrics rather than subjective judgment.
4
Composable Standards
ERC-8004 compliance enables cross-protocol interoperability and reputation portability.
This specification is under active development. Breaking changes may occur before v1.0 release.
