Economic Space

What is the ZkAGI Economic Space?​

The ZkAGI Economic Space is the layer where record-keeping and transactions are processed to ensure the $ZKAGI token economy fuels both agentic and user activity. It currently operates on Solana, with plans to expand to more chains and token-fiat rails for broader developer and user adoption.

  • Record-keeping and transactions are processed to ensure the economy around $ZKAGI fuels agentic and user activity
  • Currently operates on a blockchain like Solana
  • Will be expanded to more chains and token-fiat rails to support developers and users from outside crypto
  • The token operates in the economic space allowing agent-to-agent, agent-to-human, and human-to-agent payments for services on the network

How are compute payments handled in ZkAGI?​

Compute payments in ZkAGI are resolved through the economic layer, where agents or developers pay for renting compute nodes running ZkAGI OS. API consumption payments and revenue splitting between end-user apps and the Zynapse API are also settled in this layer.

  • Records for compute provisioning by nodes running ZkAGI OS and associated payments are resolved
  • These payments are made by agents or developers renting the compute nodes
  • API access: agents consume the Zynapse API by ZkAGI to keep performing actions
  • End-user apps may add a markup on top of API consumption
  • Payments for APIs and revenue splitting are resolved in the economic layer

How does ZkAGI handle wallet key security?​

ZkAGI supports multiple wallet key storage models including local self-custodial storage, TEE-based autonomous custody, and secure hashed databases with 2FA. Each model offers different tradeoffs between automation convenience and user control over signing.

  • Local storage on a user's machine or VPS — automations work in self-custodial wallets locally
  • TEE-based custody — agent/autonomous custody and signing inside Trusted Execution Environments
  • Secure hashed databases with dynamic salt — wallet keys locked with 2FA and password
    • Agent recommends actions
    • User must authenticate using both a password and 2FA before execution can happen
