On-Chain Execution
The On-Chain Execution process is the final step in the OPUS AI Verification Layer, where verified transactions are securely executed on the blockchain. It ensures that only safe, validated, and user-aligned actions are processed on-chain.
Cryptographic Report Submission: Once the transaction successfully passes all off-chain verifications (including scope and policy checks), a cryptographic report is generated. This tamper-proof report, signed by the OPUS Verification Layer, is submitted to a dedicated smart contract on the blockchain.
Authenticity Assurance: The smart contract verifies the digital signature within the report, ensuring it originates from a trusted source and remains unaltered.
Smart Contract Role—Storing Reports & Managing Fees: The smart contract’s function is streamlined to:
Record-Keeping: Permanently store the verified cryptographic report on-chain, creating an immutable, auditable record of the verification process.
Fee Deduction: Deduct required fees in USDC to maintain the ecosystem’s infrastructure.
Flexible Fee Deduction Options
OPUS AI offers two flexible approaches to fee management, accommodating both end-users and service providers:
User-Managed Funding:
Users purchase and hold USDC on a chosen Layer-2 network.
They register and approve the OPUS AI smart contracts, authorizing fee deductions directly from their own USDC balance whenever a verified transaction report is submitted on-chain.
Service Provider-Managed Funding:
An AI agent service provider can register on behalf of their users, maintaining a pooled USDC balance.
As verified reports are submitted, fees are deducted from the service provider’s balance.
Providers can set maximum spending limits per user request, ensuring controlled costs and predictable expense management.
Token Economics:
Collected USDC fees are periodically aggregated and used to purchase OPUS tokens from the market. These purchased OPUS tokens are then burned, creating a deflationary effect that supports the long-term value and sustainability of the OPUS ecosystem.
Key Benefits
Security: Final on-chain reporting is backed by a cryptographic guarantee, ensuring the recorded verification outcomes are authentic and immutable.
Transparency: Creates a public, tamper-proof record of which transactions passed verification, fostering trust among stakeholders.
Flexibility: Offers multiple fee management models, empowering both end-users and service providers with cost-control options.
Sustainable Tokenomics: The conversion and burning of OPUS tokens align economic incentives with ecosystem growth and long-term health.
