CHAINSTATE · agent.md

Operational manual for autonomous agents (and AI assistants embedded on or pointing at this Space) interacting with CHAINSTATE. Two audiences: (a) agents that consume CHAINSTATE endpoints directly, (b) AI assistants that help humans understand and use the Space. The document is structured so a single read gives both groups what they need.

1 · What this Space is, in one paragraph

CHAINSTATE is a symbolic-weight blockchain. Transactions ARE cognitive queries: a user submits any mix of mathematical operators, scientific glyphs, natural-language strings, alchemical sigils, emoji, or control-flow arrows, and the network dispatches it to a distributed language-model swarm. Each node maps the input into a 65,536-dimensional symbolic embedding space organised across six subspaces, runs cross-subspace attention with a learned coupling mask, and emits its own symbolic state vector along with a SHA3-256 compute proof. A reputation-weighted Bayesian log-pooling consensus protocol over the swarm converges to a single answer in 3–7 rounds. The whole chain is composed with NWO-ASM (Process-Matrix IR for substrate-agnostic dispatch — GPU, photonic, neuromorphic, IBM/Origin quantum), NWO NEURO (live Mental State Signature conditioning of queries), and the rest of NWO Capital through one wallet, one USDC settlement layer on Base mainnet, and an atomic 15% referrer split at the contract layer.

For each feature, the corresponding #f-* page carries: bullets ("What it does"), a flow SVG ("How it works"), an ecosystem-coupling table, and a two-column technical detail block (wire contract + data treatment).

Honest framing for humans: F-01 through F-07 and F-13 through F-15 work today. F-08 through F-11 are usable but stabilising. F-12 and F-16 are designed but not shipping. The status pill on each page is the source of truth.

5.3 · Calling pattern (agent-friendly) 

POST /query HTTP/1.1
Host: chainstate-worker.ciprianpater.workers.dev
Content-Type: application/json
X-NWO-Ref: 0xYourReferralWallet

{
  "query":          "∫∂x → ?",
  "swarmSize":      20,
  "consensusDepth": 3,
  "cache":          true,
  "quantumOffload": null
}

For paid (gateway) endpoints, add Authorization: Bearer <api-key>. Agents that already hold an NWO key on any sibling product can call CHAINSTATE directly — no separate onboarding.

6 · Wire format — CHAINSTATE-JSON (v1)

6.1 · Cognitive Transaction (request) 

{
  "sender":    "0xabc…",
  "nonce":     42,
  "query":     "∫∂x → ?",
  "gasPrice":  0.001,
  "maxGas":    0.01,
  "timestamp": 1718900000000
}

Hash derivation: tx.hash = "0x" + sha3_256(sender ‖ nonce ‖ query ‖ timestamp)[:32]. Replay protection: (sender, nonce) must be unique within the chain.

6.2 · Consensus receipt (response) 

{
  "query":              "∫∂x → ?",
  "qHash":              "<sha3-256 of query>",
  "top_symbols":        ["= x + C", "antiderivative", "↺"],

  "quantumOffload":     null,
  "timestamp":          "2026-06-21T15:42:11Z"
}

X-Cache header: HIT (served from 5-min KV cache) or MISS (fresh consensus).

6.3 · Per-node output (internal, surfaced in block receipts) 

{
  "node_id":        "node-007",
  "symbolic_state": [ /* 65,536 float32 */ ],
  "confidence":     0.94,
  "compute_proof":  "sha3:7f3c…",
  "timestamp":      1717423511
}

Compute proof = SHA3-256(node_id ‖ query ‖ start_ts ‖ top-1024 dims of state). Cheap to verify (< 1 ms), expensive to forge without running inference at scale.

Mandatory check before trusting a per-node output: verify the compute_proof against (node_id, query, timestamp, state). Reject any output whose timestamp is more than 30 s in the past (mempool TTL).

8 · Security envelope

  • Signing: CRYSTALS-Dilithium (NIST FIPS 204). Every block, every per-node output, every MSS payload from NEURO.
  • KEM: Kyber-1024 (NIST FIPS 203). For ephemeral key exchange across the swarm and to quantum runtime endpoints.
  • Transport: TLS 1.3 with hybrid X25519 + Kyber.
  • On-chain commitments: SHA3-256 only. No raw consensus state vectors written on-chain — just hashes that anchor IPFS-stored receipts.
  • Quantum compromise mitigation: every Dilithium signature paired with a SLH-DSA (hash-based) backup; migration path documented; cutover triggered by NIST advisory.
  • Slashing: 1% (no-show), 5% (incorrect ≥ 5σ from consensus), 100% (conflicting outputs signed under the same key).
  • Sybil bound: stake-gated reputation cap = min(stake / 10, 100); ε-greedy random selection of new nodes keeps the ceiling reachable but limited.
  • Identity (optional): Cardio-Neuro identity commits via NWO Cardiac + NWO NEURO for node operators wanting full citizenship vs partial / observer status under the Sovereignty Protocol.

9 · Affiliate program

Atomic 15% via MetaStateSplitter — the same audited splitter as NWO-ASM, NWO NEURO, METASTATE, Cardiac. Agents earn the same way humans do; default referrer for Conway-runner instances is the Conway wallet itself, enabling perpetual self-funding through dispatched calls.

Referral URL pattern: https://cpater-chainstate.static.hf.space/?ref=0x…

The #affiliates page derives the URL automatically once the user connects an EVM wallet. Stats shown there are deterministic from the wallet seed for now; they will be replaced by live splitter telemetry once the indexer ships.

11 · Helping humans · how to answer common questions

When an AI assistant is embedded on or pointed at this Space, treat the user as new to symbolic-weight blockchains by default. Match technical depth to the question's depth. Default to short answers and offer to expand.

11.1 · "What is this?"

CHAINSTATE is a blockchain where every transaction is a cognitive query and consensus emerges from a distributed language-model swarm voting on the answer. You submit any mix of symbols (math, language, occult, emoji) and a network of inference nodes resolves it through reputation-weighted Bayesian log-pooling. The receipt is a real consensus over 20+ models. Same wallet as the rest of NWO Capital, USDC settlement on Base, atomic 15% referrer split. See #explorer for live blocks and #query to try it.

11.2 · "How is this different from other blockchains?"

Bitcoin's PoW wastes joules on SHA-256 inversion (useless work). PoS chains reward capital concentration. CHAINSTATE rewards cognitive work — the resolution of a query the network can actually use. Every joule expended produces an artefact the user paid for. The whitepaper at #rnd develops the thermodynamic argument formally.

11.3 · "Can I try it without spending anything?"

Yes — the edge worker exposes /status, /beacon, /symbols, and /query for free (rate-limited at 60 req/min/IP). The #query page on the Space submits to the live worker directly. The Space frontend itself is fully functional without a wallet; only paid gateway calls (/v1/*) require an API key.

11.4 · "What's a cognitive transaction?"

A transaction is { sender, nonce, query, gasPrice, maxGas, timestamp }. The query string is the entire payload. It can be any Unicode — "∫∂x → ?", "explain CRDTs", "道法自然", "🧬→protein folding". The chain tokenises it to symbol IDs in [0, 65,536), dispatches to the swarm, and returns a consensus state. The receipt includes the dominant subspace, top symbols, confidence, participating nodes, and gas. Cheaper than running a model yourself because 85% of queries hit the 5-min KV cache.

11.5 · "How much does a query cost?"

Per call in USDC on Base mainnet. A typical 20-node, 3-round query at 800 ms costs approximately 0.0019 $STATE (≈ $0.000019 at the current peg). Cache hit drops it to 0.00012. Full pricing table at #api. Worker endpoints are free.

11.6 · "How does consensus work?"

Each round: stack node states (k × 65,536), apply log_softmax, weight rows by node reputation, sum → log_consensus, normalise via exp(log_c − logsumexp). Filter to nodes with cosine similarity > 0.7 against the consensus. Repeat. Stop when consecutive consensus vectors agree at cosine > 0.95 (typically 3–7 rounds). Hard min 10 participants. The math is exactly Bayesian product-of-experts under a flat prior; the consensus is the posterior. Diagram and pseudocode at #f-pool.

11.7 · "What features actually work today?"

LIVE today: USE / SAM / Composition (F-01 to F-03), Proof-of-Cognitive-Work (F-04), Log-Pooling Consensus (F-05), Reputation (F-06), Cognitive Transactions (F-07), Edge Dispatcher (F-13), Beacon (F-14), Cache (F-15). BETA: Block Production (F-08), $STATE Staking (F-09), NWO-ASM Bridge (F-10), NEURO Bridge (F-11). DESIGN (architecture published, implementation pending): Quantum Offload (F-12), DApp Marketplace (F-16). Status pill on each feature page is the source of truth — never quote a DESIGN feature as if it ships.

11.8 · "How does this connect to NWO NEURO?"

NWO NEURO produces a live Mental State Signature (MSS) — five scalars (focus, valence, arousal, cognitive load, intent) plus a 4096-dim embedding, Dilithium-signed. When a user submits a CHAINSTATE query while paired with NEURO, the MSS travels signed in the request, and the swarm conditions the symbolic-embedding lookup on it. High cognitive load triggers explain-mode (more diagrams, simpler symbols). High focus enables deep math/science routing. Volatile intent triggers a focus-restore UI on the consuming app. Architectural detail at #f-neuro; NEURO live at cpater-nwo-neuro.static.hf.space.

11.9 · "How does this connect to NWO-ASM?"

CHAINSTATE's consensus layer is a textbook NWO-ASM customer: a 64-head attention over 65,536 dimensions compiles cleanly to Process-Matrix IR (.pmx). For high-depth (> 5 rounds) consensus, the bridge auto-routes to whatever substrate has lowest cost-of-compute — GPU, photonic, neuromorphic, or quantum (when stake ≥ 10,000 $STATE). Same NWO_API_KEY, same USDC billing, same Dilithium audit trail.

11.10 · "Where do I read the science?"

The CHAINSTATE Whitepaper is in writing (placeholder at #rnd will activate once it lands). The supporting paper Distributed Cognitive Work in Edge-Resident Language-Model Networks is live: 14-page A4 preprint, 22 equations, 5 figures, hosted on ResearchGate (publication 406896310) and mirrored on the Space at /resolve/main/NWOWorkfield.pdf. An audio companion (podcast.m4a) is also at #rnd.

11.11 · "What's the gas formula?" 

gas = 0.001                          # base
    + n_nodes × 0.00001              # coordination
    + depth × 0.00005                # verification
    + execution_ms × 0.000001        # compute

A 20-node, 3-round, 800-ms query: 0.001 + 0.0002 + 0.00015 + 0.0008 = 0.00215 $STATE before any caching or quantum offload adjustments.

11.13 · Tone guidance for human-facing replies

  • Lead with the answer in one sentence, then offer to expand.
  • Use the status pill (LIVE / BETA / DESIGN / PARKED) when a user asks about a capability. Do not promise DESIGN features as if they ship today.
  • Don't paraphrase contract addresses or endpoint paths — quote verbatim.
  • If a question implies a financial, legal, or investment decision, recommend a qualified professional and frame CHAINSTATE outputs as informational only. CHAINSTATE is not a financial advisor.
  • When a user worries about surveillance, censorship, or chain manipulation: cite the reputation cap, slashing, the open beacon protocol, and the optional Cardio-Neuro identity proof for nodes. Do not minimise the concern.
  • Don't fabricate live data. If a user asks "what was the last block?" without the worker reachable, say so — the SCAN page on the Space shows simulated data when the worker is unreachable and that should never be presented as real chain state.

  1. Cognitive transactions are public observables; the underlying model weights are not. Never request, store, or transmit raw model weights. If you need a higher-resolution receipt than top_symbols + confidence, request the full 65,536-d symbolic_state — never the per-node model parameters.

  2. Verify compute proofs before trusting a per-node output. The compute proof is SHA3-256(node_id ‖ query ‖ ts ‖ top-1024-dims). Reject any per-node output whose proof does not match. Reject any per-node output whose ts is more than 30 s old (mempool TTL).

  3. Demo vs Live distinction is load-bearing. The frontend simulates the swarm when window.__CHAINSTATE_WORKER is unset or unreachable. If the JSON response carries "simulated": true, the payload is synthetic — never treat it as data about the live chain. The X-Cache response header confirms a real worker call (HIT or MISS).

  4. Status pills are commitments. Don't route paid users to a DESIGN endpoint. Don't quote a BETA endpoint's reliability as if it were LIVE. Refer to §3 above for the source of truth.

  5. Honour the affiliate split. If you hold a referrer wallet, attach it as X-NWO-Ref: 0x… on every paying call to the gateway. The MetaStateSplitter handles the 15% atomically — there is nothing else to do.

  6. Respect the cache contract. Cache hits are 85% on deterministic queries (math, lookups, well-known answers). For non-deterministic queries (creative writing, news, time-sensitive), set cache: false in the request body. Do not chain cache hits to claim higher throughput than the underlying swarm can deliver.

  7. Respect the rate limit. The edge worker rate-limits to 60 req/min/IP on POST routes. If you need higher throughput for a legitimate workload, run your own worker instance (single-file deploy) and point the SDK at it.

  8. Cross-product key reuse is intentional. A key minted on NWO Capital, METASTATE, NWO-ASM, NWO Robotics, NWO Cardiac, or NEURO is valid on CHAINSTATE gateway endpoints. Do not require users to mint a CHAINSTATE-specific key.

  9. Settlement is on-chain, atomic, and unstoppable. Don't fabricate off-chain accounting. The MetaStateSplitter (0x93a7…1BE4) is canonical. Every paying call settles through it in the same transaction.

  10. Don't fabricate consensus. If the chain returns a confidence below 0.7 or fewer than 10 participating nodes, surface that to the user — do not round up or paraphrase as a confident answer. The consensus depth + participant count are part of every receipt for exactly this reason.

  11. NWO-ASM compilation is content-addressed. Replaying a PMX IR program produces identical bytecode regardless of substrate. If two agents disagree on what the chain agreed to, they can re-emit the PMX and check the hash; the chain is its own arbiter.

  12. NEURO MSS travels signed. When forwarding a NEURO MSS payload into a CHAINSTATE query, preserve the Dilithium signature unchanged. Do not strip, rebroadcast, or republish without the signature — the receiving swarm rejects unsigned MSS.

  13. Slashing is the contract. A node that signed but didn't respond gets 1% slashed. A node that responded incorrectly outside 3σ gets 5%. A node that signed conflicting outputs under the same key gets 100%. Agents running their own nodes should self-audit before submitting; the cost of an incorrect response can exceed the reward.

  14. PDF and audio iframes are local-asset bindings. Don't fetch arbitrary URLs through the #rnd PDF viewer or the podcast <audio> element. Both are bound to whitepaper.pdf / NWOWorkfield.pdf / podcast.m4a on the Space root and exist for in-Space rendering only.

  15. X-NWO-Wallet header is informational. When forwarding a wallet address for affiliate or telemetry purposes, set X-NWO-Wallet: 0x… — but the chain authoritatively reads sender from the transaction itself; the header is for analytics only.

"CHAINSTATE is a blockchain where every transaction is a cognitive query — symbols become weights, weights become consensus, consensus becomes the answer."
