Question 1

What is DeAgentAI?

Accepted Answer

DeAgentAI is an on-chain infrastructure for creating and operating AI Agents with verifiable behaviour. It addresses three core requirements for agents in distributed systems: **Consensus** (a single authoritative output per interaction), **Identity** (one unique agent state at any point in time) and **Continuity** (reliable, traceable on-chain memory). The De(cision)Agent framework defines each agent by a Lobe (cognitive engine), Memory (genesis + evolving state) and Tools (capabilities and interfaces). Interactions are executed by Executors and finalised by Committers/validators to preserve identity and continuity.  
**How it works:** creation publishes the agent definition on a host chain; users submit interaction requests; Executors run the agent and emit candidates; Committers select one canonical result and commit the state update; non-model logic is verified with ZK proofs, closed-model API integrity with TLS proofing/attestation, and open-model outputs via a hybrid approach with entropy-based selection; Memory includes short-term context plus retrieval from long-term history; built-in Tools include chain data queries, web access and a Decision Plugin for state-changing actions; approved decisions are executed via MPC; agents communicate using an Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol.

Question 2

What is DeAgentAI (AIA) token used for?

Accepted Answer

AIA is the network’s native token and provides the following core utilities.
- **Payments & access:** medium of exchange for creating, invoking and subscribing to agents, and for unlocking premium features.
- **Staking & security:** staking to support network operations and data validation, with rewards determined by programme design.
- **Governance:** voting on foundation and network parameters.
- **Value capture (token design):** protocol revenue buybacks, optional supply-locking via staking and multichain issuance intended to support coverage and liquidity (launch on Sui and BNB Chain).

Question 4

Products and staking

Accepted Answer

- **AlphaX:** a flagship autonomous trading agent built within the framework that generates market signals and can operate strategies; it uses feedback to refine decision-making.
- **Staking architecture:**  
  - **Dynamic Rewards Hub:** low-barrier, multi-activity rewards from a single stake.
  - **Golden Shovel Pool:** time-priority, tiered weight for long-term staking.
  - **Community Arena:** gated layer for higher-intensity, team or individual on-chain games tied to staking participation.
