Architecture

A verifiable pipeline from intent to settlement.

The W3AI stack is designed for institutional accountability. Every agent action is reproducible, attested, and finally settled on chain — with no privileged off-chain operators.

Intent Layer

L1

A declarative API where users and enterprises express desired outcomes. No transactions are constructed at this layer — only signed intents.

  • Typed intent schema
  • Replay-safe signatures
  • Off-chain mempool

Agent Runtime

L2

A deterministic, sandboxed execution environment. Agents run signed bytecode against canonical state and produce ordered action sets.

  • WASM-based runtime
  • Deterministic scheduling
  • Resource metering

Proof Mesh

L3

A validator network attests to runtime outputs, compute, and state transitions. Proofs are aggregated and posted on chain.

  • TEE + ZK hybrid attestations
  • Slashing for invalid proofs
  • Fast aggregation

Settlement Core

L4

Final settlement and accounting. The settlement core records canonical state, distributes fees, and enforces slashing.

  • On-chain finality
  • Native fee distribution
  • Programmatic burn
Deterministic

Same intent + state → same execution. Always.

Attested

Validators stake to prove compute. Slashed if dishonest.

Auditable

Every step reproducible from on-chain proofs.
