Origin Trail (TRAC), Neuro Web (Neuro), Polkadot (DOT) challenge !
Prototype aligned with the Barataria Manifesto: a distributed chivalry of trust, throneless, where reputation is a local, probationary, and interchain flow.
This model---without a throne---outsources integrity assessment, prohibits centralized decision‑making, and embeds trust in the engagement economy. Local policies become the only sovereigns, guided by public metrics that are auditable and resistant to capture. The model is designed to be decentralized, with no central authority to control or manipulate the system.
This repository demonstrates how to anchor the three pillars (costly identity, mirror of the graph of consequence, pluralistic arbitration) in an x402 payment agent supported by OriginTrail DKG and XCM.
| Thronelessness | no global score (like global Page Rank, see Law of Goodhart) to prevent Sybil attacks; local decisions guided by published metrics (sigma, integrityScore, subsidyRatio, cartelFlag). |
|---|---|
| Burn‑to‑Register Sybil Tax | identities coupled with a dynamic cost to prevent Sybil attacks; The issuance of identity is based on a dynamic cost function designed to discourage Sybil attacks through exponential taxation adjusted according to the flow of registrations. This mechanism introduces a growing economic barrier without resorting to mutable centralized governance. the Trust layer remains neutral and immutable. |
| Graph of Consequence | only real x402 transactions count (See our solution against intra-cluster link farms between agents in our white paper. ), avoiding reliance on Web2 graphs possibly already corrupted by Sybil attacks and Sybil web3 corruption attacks; the DKG exposes an auditable mirror (versioned KAs, SHACL schemas). |
| Arbitration Archipelago | multiple competing arbitration guilds (for disputes); their integrity indices are consulted before payment. (The DKG automatically publishes: Proof of Yield (Tracks the source of APY), Correlation Index (Detects if 50 Guilds are acting as a single Sybil cartel), and Dispute History (How the Guild voted).) |
| Cognitive Trihedron | in homage to the novel Don Quixote, a foundational work by Cervantes dealing with the modern epistemology of falsehood we propose 3 distinct agents : Sancho (payment), Sanson (formalized analysis), Quichotte (topological monitoring). This POC implements Sancho and the primitives to host the other two. |
| Agent (Sancho) | tools/main_agent_sancho.py |
|---|---|
| Async pipeline: SPARQL collection, JSON‑LD parsing, symbolic reasoning, XCM construction. | |
| Resilience: global timeouts, circuit breaker, safe mode, SHA‑256 audit trace. | |
Toggleable mock: DKGClientWrapper.mock_mode and tool_execute_xcm_payment simulating HRMP/XCM sending. |
|
| Knowledge (DKG) | |
JSON‑LD schema and SHACL shapes: assets/guild-schema.jsonld, assets/guild-shapes.ttl. |
|
Example published KA: assets/guild-giant-asset.jsonld, assets/guild-windmill-asset.jsonld (integrityScore, subsidyRatio, sigma, cartelStatus, audit). |
|
Publish/query helpers: tools/publish_knowledge.py, tools/query_debug.py, tools/test_connect.py. |
|
| Trust (XCM / NeuroWeb) | core/xcm_engine.py |
| XCM V3 construction (WithdrawAsset, InitiateReserveWithdraw, BuyExecution, DepositAsset). | |
| Simulation of cross‑parachain x402 payment and receipt (hash, timestamp, destination guild). |
| Pillar 1 --- Guarantee / Costly Identity | |
|---|---|
| Manifesto: Burn‑to‑Register with adaptive Sybil tax, median oracle. | |
POC: DKG connection (core/dkg_config.py) and NETWORK_CONFIG preparing the call to the BurnToRegister contract on NeuroWeb. The private key loader applies the padding required by DKG/chain. |
|
| Pillar 2 --- Mirror of the Graph of Consequence | |
| Manifesto: local reputation (LocalTrust), no global PageRank, analytic KAs (yield, correlation, disputes). | |
POC: Sancho queries the DKG via SPARQL, extracts sigma, integrityScore, subsidyRatio, cartelFlag, then applies SymbolicReasoner.decide with ruleset (min sigma in bps, subsidy cap, cartel rejection). Auditable hashed trace. |
|
| Pillar 3 --- Action / x402 + Arbitration Archipelago | |
| Manifesto: payment as probative footprint; automatic refusal if the insurer is subsidized/correlated. | |
POC: tool_execute_xcm_payment assembles the XCM program, pays execution, deposits to target guild. Circuit breaker enters safe‑mode after circuit_breaker_threshold failures. |
| 1) Install environment | bash<br>python -m venv .venv<br>source .venv/bin/activate<br>pip install -r requirements.txt<br> |
|---|---|
| 2) Publish a guild KA (initial mirror) | bash<br>python tools/publish_knowledge.py<br>Publishes assets/guild-giant-asset.jsonld and assets/guild-windmill-asset.jsonld to the DKG (epochs_num=8) and returns a UAL Sancho can use. |
| 3) Run Sanson (integrity analytics before payment) | Set the guild value in the _demo block at the bottom of tools/sanson_agent.py to the UAL returned in step 2 (for example urn:barataria:guild:giant).Execute python tools/sanson_agent.py (or SANSON_FORCE_MOCK=1 python tools/sanson_agent.py for deterministic demo data).Sanson pulls yield/cartel KAs, computes subsidyRatio/cartelFlag/sigma, and publishes ka://analytics/integrity/<guild>/vX for Sancho to consume. |
| 4) Run Sancho (local decision + payment) | Fill input_task in tools/main_agent_sancho.py (service_id, amount, execution_mode). Sancho reads the latest integrity KA published by Sanson; if missing, it falls back to FALLBACK_RULES (hardcoded thresholds).The agent: - builds two SPARQL queries (reputation + ruleset) to the DKG, - extracts facts, applies ruleset (default FALLBACK_RULES if KA missing),- computes decision ∈ {REJECT, PAY, COUNTER_OFFER}, adjusts amount, hashes trace,- if PAY, builds and sends (or simulates) XCM and returns a receipt (hash, timestamp). Safe‑mode if consecutive failures > threshold. |
Variables (via .env) |
|
|---|---|
OT_NODE_URL: HTTP endpoint of DKG node (default http://localhost:8900). |
|
PRIVATE_KEY: hex key without prefix; loader adds 0x and padding. |
|
| Network / XCM parameters | NETWORK_CONFIG in tools/main_agent_sancho.py (relay chain, para_id, beneficiary, guild TCR). |
| Mock / prod | set DKGClientWrapper.mock_mode=False and replace tool_execute_xcm_payment with a Substrate connector for a live parachain. |
| Sancho | payment agent, local heuristic, trace audit. |
|---|---|
| Sanson | integrity index computation, analytics KA publication (yield, disputes, cartel-index). |
| Quichotte | topological analyses (link farms, cartels), alert publication (KA). |
| Both can attach to the same DKG JSON‑LD registry and feed Sancho's reasoner. |
