Core Architecture

The Raze Protocol's architecture is a meticulously engineered system designed to bring verifiable, trustless AI to Web3. It is not merely a single application, but a foundational layer. This architecture is built on a modular design that ensures security, scalability, and seamless integration with other decentralized applications. The core of this system is a suite of smart contracts that manage agent interactions and token flows, all while being powered by the groundbreaking ZKML technology.

Core Contracts

The system's on-chain logic is managed by a suite of purpose-built smart contracts that work in concert to enforce the protocol's rules.

• AgentRegistry: This contract acts as the protocol's arbiter of identity and permissions. It manages the registration of AI agents, their metadata, and their activation status. Only the owner of the contract can register and update an agent's status, ensuring a secure onboarding process. This provides a single, auditable source for determining whether a specific AI agent is authorized to interact with the protocol.

• ZKVerifier: This is the guardian of cryptographic integrity. It is a specialized, automatically generated contract that lives on-chain and is responsible for verifying the Zero-Knowledge Proofs submitted by AI agents. The

  ZKVerifier cryptographically validates that an AI's decision was made correctly according to its pre-set rules, without revealing any private information. This verification is a prerequisite for any action to be executed on-chain, eliminating the need for blind trust.

• ActionExecutor: The conductor of verified actions, this contract ensures that no action is taken on-chain unless it has been cryptographically proven to be valid. Before executing an action, the

  ActionExecutor queries the AgentRegistry to confirm the agent is active and the ZKVerifier to validate the submitted proof. This two-factor verification mechanism guarantees that only authorized agents with provably correct decisions can interact with downstream contracts or execute on-chain functions, such as voting in a DAO or executing a DeFi trade.

The $RAZET Token

$RAZET token is the utility token that serves as the lifeblood of the entire Raze Protocol ecosystem. It is a multi-faceted token designed to align the incentives of all participants, from developers to end-users and verifier nodes.

• Payment for Services (Utility): Users must pay a small fee in $RAZET to use any of the ZK-verified AI agents. Each agent invocation or proof generation consumes

  $RAZET, creating a direct and continuous demand that gives the token real-world utility.

• Staking for Verification (Security): The network of verifier nodes that contribute computing power to generate and check ZKML proofs must stake $RAZET as collateral. This "skin in the game" ensures honest behavior, as any attempt to cheat (e.g., submitting a false proof) can result in their staked tokens being slashed. This mechanism collateralizes the trustworthiness of the entire network.

• Governance (Decentralization): Holding $RAZET gives participants a voice in the future of the Raze Protocol. Token holders can propose and vote on key upgrades, changes to fee structures, and funding for new projects, ensuring the protocol remains decentralized and community-owned.

• Ecosystem Incentives: A portion of the protocol's fees is reserved to reward developers who build popular and innovative agents. This creates a powerful flywheel effect: as quality agents attract more users and generate more fees, developers earn more tokens, reinforcing the value of the ecosystem.

Protocol-as-a-Service

Raze Protocol's business model is not simply building a single product, but establishing a new category of

"Protocol-as-a-Service" for trustworthy AI. This model is powered by a decentralized token, which offers a level of trust, security, and community ownership that no traditional SaaS company can match.

The protocol's revenue streams are twofold:

1. Automated Fees: Raze earns revenue by taking a small percentage of the $RAZET fees generated from every agent interaction. Whenever an agent is used, a fee is split among verifiers, developers, and the protocol treasury.

2. Enterprise Solutions: Raze will also develop and sell more advanced, premium AI agent solutions to enterprises for a higher fee. These customized services—such as custom agent development, private network deployments, or regulatory compliance suites—allow Raze to monetize at enterprise rates without sacrificing its core decentralized principles.

This hybrid model creates a self-reinforcing economy where every component of the Raze Protocol—from proof services and agent deployment to rewards and governance—ultimately routes through the

$RAZET token, ensuring its real-world utility and long-term demand.
