Blockchain Integration
zkSync Era Integration
AIAF will be built on zkSync Era, a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that provides high throughput, low costs, and strong security guarantees:
zkSync Era Benefits
High Throughput: Processes thousands of transactions per second
Low Cost: Reduces gas fees by over 90% compared to Ethereum L1
Security: Inherits Ethereum's security through zero-knowledge proofs
EVM Compatibility: Supports Solidity and familiar development tools
Native Account Abstraction: Enhanced user experience
Integration Components
Bridge Contract: Enables assets to move between Ethereum and zkSync
zkRollup: Aggregates transactions for efficient processing
zkEVM: Supports smart contract execution
Prover System: Generates cryptographic proofs of transaction validity
Implementation Details
L1/L2 Communication: Message passing between layers
State Synchronization: Maintaining consistent state across layers
Gas Optimization: Efficient use of computational resources
Priority Queue: Handling transaction prioritization
Smart Contract System
AIAF's smart contract architecture will implement the core platform functionality:
Contract Modules
Registry: Tracks all AI agents and their metadata
Marketplace: Facilitates buying, selling, and leasing of agents
Compute Manager: Allocates compute resources and manages nodes
Treasury: Handles protocol funds and revenue distribution
Token Contracts: Implement $AIAF functionality
NFT Contracts: Manage agent ownership and rights
Security Measures
Formal Verification: Mathematical proof of correctness
Multiple Audits: Third-party security reviews
Timelocks: Delay periods for critical changes
Upgradability: Secure upgrade patterns
Access Controls: Role-based permissions
Cross-L2 Capabilities
AIAF is designed to work across multiple Layer 2 solutions and blockchains:
Cross-Chain Features
Asset Bridging: Move tokens and NFTs between networks
State Synchronization: Maintain consistent state across chains
Interoperability Protocols: Compatibility with cross-chain standards
Multi-Chain Deployment: Deploy agents across multiple networks
Chain Agnostic Interfaces: Consistent APIs regardless of underlying chain
Implementation Approach
Message Passing: Secure communication between chains
Proof Verification: Cryptographic validation of cross-chain actions
Liquidity Networks: Efficient asset transfer between chains
Fallback Mechanisms: Ensure reliability during network issues
Transaction Processing
AIAF's transaction processing system ensures efficiency, security, and transparency:
Transaction Types
Agent Creation: Mint new AI agent NFTs
Marketplace Actions: Buy, sell, lease agents
Compute Requests: Execute agent functionality
Token Operations: Transfers, staking, and locking
Processing Workflow
Initiation: Transaction submitted by user
Validation: Check parameters and permissions
Resource Allocation: Assign compute resources if needed
Execution: Process the transaction logic
Completion: Record results and update state
Settlement: Distribute fees and rewards
