System Overview
Architecture Layers
AIAF is designed with a layered architecture to ensure scalability, security, and decentralization:
1. User Layer
The User Layer provides interfaces for interacting with the platform:
Web Interface: Browser-based dashboard for creating and managing agents
API: Programmatic access to platform services
SDK: Developer libraries for different programming languages
Web3 Wallet: Connects users to the blockchain for transactions and identification
2. Platform Layer
The Platform Layer provides core services:
Agent Creator: Visual and programmatic tools for building AI agents
Marketplace: Agent discovery, purchase, and leasing
Analytics: Usage tracking and performance metrics
3. Compute Layer
The Compute Layer handles agent execution:
Hybrid Architecture: Combines centralized and decentralized compute
Professional GPU Farms: Enterprise-grade performance with SLAs
Decentralized Nodes: Community-run compute nodes
Load Balancer: Distributes workloads optimally
Auto-scaling: Adjusts resources based on demand
4. Blockchain Layer
The Blockchain Layer manages ownership and economics:
zkSync Era: Layer 2 solution for fast, low-cost transactions
NFT System: Tokenization of AI agents
Smart Contracts: Automated business logic
Staking System: Security and incentives
Component Interactions
The AIAF platform components interact through standardized interfaces:
Key Interactions
User Authentication: Web3 wallet signatures verify identity
Access Control: Smart contracts verify ownership and usage rights
Resource Allocation: Compute network dynamically assigns resources
Request Processing: AI agents execute on appropriate compute resources
Transaction Recording: Usage and payments are recorded on-chain
Result Delivery: Processed results return to users
Data Flow
Data flows through the system while maintaining security and privacy:
Data Processing Stages
Input Processing: Sanitization, normalization, and formatting
Request Routing: Directing to appropriate resources
Execution: Running the agent logic on compute resources
Result Processing: Formatting and delivery of outputs
Transaction Recording: Logging on the blockchain
