Workflow of AI Transactions
The OPUS AI Verification Layer ensures that every AI-driven blockchain transaction is secure, compliant, and aligned with user intent. The workflow involves a step-by-step process that validates and safeguards transactions before they are executed on-chain.
Step 1: Transaction Initiation by AI Agent
An AI agent generates a transaction based on user instructions.
The agent prepares and submits the following:
Transaction Payload: The technical details of the action, such as token transfers or contract interactions.
User Prompt: The original instruction given by the user, capturing the intended purpose.
Text Explanation: A human-readable summary of the proposed transaction for transparency.
Step 2: Validation in the AI Verification Layer
Once the transaction is received, the AI Verification Layer processes it through multiple layers of validation:
Scope Validation:
Ensures the transaction adheres to the user’s predefined permissions, such as allowed operations (e.g., transferErc20, transferEth).
Checks for spending caps, allowed protocols, and other constraints.
Simulation Environment:
Simulates the transaction in a secure sandbox to identify potential issues before it interacts with the blockchain.
Detects vulnerabilities like malicious contracts, honeypots, or hidden exploits.
Intent Alignment:
Compares the user’s prompt with the transaction payload to verify the action matches the user’s original intent.
Prevents errors or deviations caused by misinterpretation of user instructions.
Step 3: Cryptographic Report Generation Once the transaction passes all off-chain validation checks—including scope, intent, and security—the AI Verification Layer produces a cryptographic report. This tamper-proof report includes:
Validation Results: A summary of the verification process, confirming compliance with all required parameters.
Digital Signature: A cryptographic signature that guarantees the report’s authenticity and integrity.
Transaction Metadata: Relevant details such as applicable limits, approved parameters, and any other validated information.
Step 4: Submission to the On-Chain Smart Contract The cryptographic report and transaction payload are then submitted to a specialized smart contract on-chain. Its responsibilities are:
Report Authentication: The smart contract verifies the digital signature to ensure the report is genuine and unaltered.
On-Chain Record-Keeping: After successful authentication, the verified report is recorded on-chain, providing an immutable audit trail of the verification process.
Step 5: Fee Deduction and Ecosystem Support Once the report is authenticated and logged, the smart contract manages fee deductions in USDC. Depending on the chosen model:
User-Funded: Users can hold and approve USDC on a preferred Layer-2 network, allowing fees to be deducted directly from their balances.
Service Provider-Funded: A service provider can maintain a USDC balance for its users and set maximum spending limits, simplifying the experience.
Key Advantages of the Workflow
Security: Transactions are thoroughly validated before execution, preventing malicious or unintended actions.
Transparency: The cryptographic report ensures every action is accountable and traceable.
Reliability: AI agents are held to a strict validation process, ensuring user-defined constraints are enforced.
This workflow ensures that every AI-driven transaction is processed safely and efficiently, fostering trust in automated blockchain operations.
