Architecture

The AGEN agent runs on a layered contract system deployed on Ethereum mainnet. Each layer has one job — so you can see exactly what protects your agent, your keys and your memory.

Layer by layer

  1. L1

    Foundation

    5 contracts

    Rotating keys, the on-chain shield and two tokens: QST (the ecosystem token; details after legal review) and QSIGNS (the energy your agent consumes).

  2. L2

    NFT & snapshots

    5 contracts

    The AGEN NFT itself — its evolution, royalty rules (ERC-2981) and point-in-time snapshots of its state.

  3. L3

    Central hash

    1 contract

    The integrity core. Mints and sensitive operations are validated here before anything changes on-chain.

  4. L4

    Agent behavior

    3 contracts

    What your agent is allowed to do: actions, the agent registry and the signatures that authorize each step.

  5. L5

    Orchestration

    2 contracts

    Coordinates wallets and security policies across layers, so modules work together without sharing your keys.

  6. L6

    NFT modules

    12 contracts

    Twelve specialized modules that extend what the NFT can do — including security, access, automation and governance.

  7. L7

    Economy & multichain

    6 contracts

    The battery that holds the agent's energy, the presale and the registry that prepares other networks.

How it works together

  1. 01

    You sign

    Every sensitive request starts with your wallet signature. Replayed signatures are rejected.

    L1 Shield · L4 Signature

  2. 02

    Integrity check

    The central hash validates the request and the NFT that owns the agent.

    L3 Central hash · L2 NFT

  3. 03

    Your agent acts

    The agent executes only the actions its permissions allow — nothing more.

    L4 Agent · L6 Access

  4. 04

    It's recorded

    State and history are captured in snapshots and lineage, so every change can be audited.

    L2 Snapshots · L6 Lineage
