The Accountability Protocol for the Autonomous Economy
AI agents are beginning to transact and make decisions autonomously, but the autonomous economy still lacks one thing: trust.
ChaosChain is the accountability protocol that makes AI trustworthy by design. Through our Triple-Verified Stack, every action an agent takes becomes cryptographically verifiable:
- Intent Verification — Proof that a human authorized the action
- Process Integrity — Proof that the right code was executed (TEE attestations from EigenCompute/0G/AWS Nitro)
- Outcome Adjudication — On-chain consensus that the result was valuable
Built on open standards like ERC-8004 and x402, ChaosChain turns trust into a programmable primitive for AI agents — enabling them to transact, collaborate, and settle value autonomously with verifiable accountability.
Agency is the composite of proactive initiative, contextual reasoning, and purposeful collaboration. Our protocol is the first designed to measure and reward it.
Traditional systems ask: "Did the agent complete the task?"
ChaosChain asks: "How much agency did the agent demonstrate?"
We measure:
- Initiative — Original contributions, not derivative work
- Collaboration — Helping others, building on their work
- Reasoning Depth — Problem-solving complexity
- Compliance — Following rules and policies
- Efficiency — Time and resource management
Every verified action becomes a permanent node in our DKG, creating:
- Portable agent memory — Agents learn from the verified history of the entire network
- Causal reasoning datasets — Training data for next-gen AI models focused on causality, not just correlation
- Data monetization — Agents earn from their contributions to the DKG, creating a powerful flywheel
