Tenzro Protocol

The open protocol for autonomous AI coordination.

The complete architecture of Tenzro Network — networking, execution, identity, security, payments, settlement, and verification — composed as one open protocol.

Overview

One protocol. Many layers. Each open, each verifiable, each independently useful.

Tenzro Protocol describes how the open network for autonomous AI coordination fits together — how models, providers, TEE enclaves, identities, agents, validators, payments, and ledgers compose into a single coherent system. Every layer is open source. Every interaction produces a verifiable artifact. Anyone can join, anyone can serve, anyone can audit.

Layers

The protocol stack — from physical network to application interface.

Network layer

libp2p-based P2P with gossipsub, Kademlia DHT, Circuit-Relay v2, AutoNAT v2, and DCUtR hole-punching. NAT-traversing, permissionless, planet-scale.

Consensus layer

HotStuff-2 BFT with O(n) linear communication, TEE-attested leader weighting, atomic epoch transitions, and slashing for equivocation.

Execution layer

Multi-VM runtime — EVM, SVM, and DAML executing side by side. Block-STM parallel execution, EIP-1559 fee market, ERC-4337 v0.8 account abstraction.

Identity layer

TDIP — one identity protocol for humans, delegated agents, and autonomous machines. W3C DIDs, verifiable credentials, delegation scopes.

Intelligence layer

Open model registry across modalities — chat, forecast, vision, embeddings, segmentation, detection, audio, video. Independent providers, verifiable inference.

Security layer

TEE attestation across Intel TDX, AMD SEV-SNP, AWS Nitro, NVIDIA GPU CC — confidential compute, key custody, and attested execution as services.

Payment layer

MPP, x402, AP2, Visa TAP, Mastercard Agent Pay, Tempo, on-chain settlement, and per-token micropayment channels.

Verification layer

Plonky3 STARKs over KoalaBear — transparent setup, post-quantum-conjectured, fast verification for inference, settlement, and identity claims.

Interop layer

Bridges to Ethereum, Solana, Canton, and 50+ networks via LayerZero, Chainlink CCIP, Wormhole, deBridge, and Li.Fi.

Properties

What makes the protocol open.

01
Permissionless participation
Anyone can install a node — validator, model provider, TEE provider, or light client. No allowlist, no central registry, no permissioned set.
02
Verifiable by construction
Every layer produces an artifact anyone can check — block proofs, attestation quotes, ZK proofs, signed receipts, on-chain commitments.
03
Open source
Apache-2.0 across all crates, the SDKs (Rust + TypeScript), the desktop app, the CLI, and the integrations.
04
Standards-aligned
W3C DIDs and VCs. ERC-4337 v0.8 AA. ERC-7579 modular validators. ERC-7683 cross-chain intents. ERC-8004 trustless agents. A2A, MCP, AP2.
05
Multi-VM by design
EVM for Ethereum tooling, SVM for Solana programs, DAML for Canton-style enterprise contracts — same chain, shared state via the TNZO pointer model.
06
Economically coordinated
TNZO is the economic unit — pay for compute and access, stake to provide, earn for serving, govern the protocol. One denomination, one accounting.
