Autonet Architecture Overview

HISTORICAL, pre-substrate (banner added 2026-07-10). This document describes the retired FedAvg / role-split paradigm (Project, TaskContract, ParticipantStaking, ResultsRewards, AnchorBridge, Proposer/Solver/ Coordinator/Aggregator nodes). None of that is the live system. Those contracts were deleted in Phase 5.6a. The current architecture is:

  • Substrate paradigm, tool economy. The on-chain surface is four contracts under contracts/core/: Substrate.sol (epoch anchoring, agent registry, money-only training records, ATN token, service payments), ServiceMarket.sol, VentureVault.sol, CharterAnchor.sol.
  • Fees-only emission, money-only close (v0.7.0, 2026-07-10): the epoch pool = burned service fees only; REP is claimed DAO-side from ATN earnings 1:1 (no reputation surface in Substrate.sol).
  • Read instead: the repo-root README.md (living paper), the docs index docs/README.md, docs/tool_substrate.md (core spec), and CLAUDE.md. The body below is kept only for history.

System Layers

Layer -1: L1 Anchor (Ethereum/Tezos)

  • Security bootstrapping
  • Data availability
  • Final settlement for disputes

Layer 0: Rollup Infrastructure

  • AnchorBridge: Stores checkpoint roots, manages token bridge
  • DisputeManager: Stake-weighted voting on challenges
  • Validators submit periodic state roots

Layer 1: Application Contracts

  • Project: AI project lifecycle, funding, inference
  • TaskContract: Training task management
  • ParticipantStaking: Role-based staking
  • ResultsRewards: Verification and rewards
  • AutonetDAO: Governance

Layer 2: Node Software

  • Constitutional framework (immutable principles)
  • Four engines: Awareness, Governance, Work, Survival
  • Specialized nodes: Proposer, Solver, Coordinator, Aggregator

Layer 3: Storage (Node-Native Blob Store)

  • Model weights
  • Task specifications
  • Solutions and verification reports
  • Referenced on-chain via content hashes

Token Economics

ATN (Autonoma Token)

  • Gas on Autonet chain
  • Staking for roles
  • Rewards for participation
  • Governance voting

Project Tokens (PT)

  • Project-specific shares
  • Inference discounts
  • Revenue sharing

Consensus Mechanisms

Chain Consensus (PoS)

  • ATN-staked validators
  • Checkpoint submission to L1

Training Consensus

  • Commit-reveal for solutions
  • Coordinator verification
  • Challenge period for disputes

Governance Consensus

  • Stake-weighted voting
  • 20% quorum, 66% supermajority
  • Constitutional amendments: 95% quorum
