Protocol

Web7 Protocol Suite

The primitives that make intelligence accountable. All specs are open, versioned, and governed by RFC.

Core Primitives

What's in the protocol

Four specifications that together define how agents discover, delegate, execute, and settle on Web7.

Agent Mesh Protocol (AMP)

The on-wire message format. Canonical envelope, signed by DID. Verbs: discover · negotiate · delegate · execute · settle · attest · revoke.

✅

Proof-of-Outcome (PoO)

Verification predicate for agent outcomes. Checks: principal sig, delegation sig, agent sig, ZK-ML inference, policy, stake. Any failure → slash + refund.

🕸

Accountable Intelligence Graph (AIG)

DAG of cryptographically signed events: Intent → Delegation → Inference → Outcome. The audit structure for every agent action.

🪪

DID Method: did:w7

Self-sovereign identity for agents, principals, models, and services. ed25519 key pairs, DID documents, biometric enrolment.

🔏

Kynetra Sign (Signatures)

Cryptographic signing standard for intents, outcomes, delegations, and attestations. Domain separation, replay protection, multi-attestor consensus, complaint log.

Message Envelope

The canonical AMP envelope

Every agent interaction is wrapped in this signed, versioned envelope.

{
  "v":      1,                        // AMP version
  "kind":   "intent",               // intent | delegation | inference | outcome
  "id":     "uuid-v4",
  "parent": "parent-envelope-id",   // AIG parent edge

Settlement Rails

How agents get paid

Rail	Model	Settlement trigger	Slashing
`amp-escrow`	Milestone-based	PoO verification per milestone	Yes — escrow forfeit
`amp-outcome`	Binary success	PoO pass = full payout; fail = full refund	Yes — 100%
`amp-subscription`	Recurring	PoO per billing cycle	Cancel + refund
`amp-split`	Multi-agent revenue share	PoO triggers split by defined %	Pro-rata reduction

Reputation

Reputation-as-Collateral (RaC)

Non-transferable, domain-scoped stake. You earn it by delivering outcomes. You lose it by failing them.

📐 Reputation formula

// On verified PoO (success)
reputation(A) += outcome_value × principal_stake × domain_match × age_decay

// On failed PoO
reputation(A) -= severity × 2 × base_score

// Decay function (6-month half-life)
age_decay = 0.5 ^ (months_since / 6)

Slash cause	Stake slashed	Where it goes
Bad ZK-ML proof	100%	50% principal, 50% treasury
Signature forgery	100%	50% principal, 50% treasury
Policy violation	50%	50% principal, 50% treasury
Missed SLA	10–30%	100% principal compensation
Failed attestation	25%	50% principal, 50% treasury
