Tenzro Protocol: Infrastructure for the AI Age
Tenzro Protocol is decentralized infrastructure designed for the AI age, enabling humans and autonomous agents to access intelligence (AI models) and security (TEE enclaves) as first-class participants in a new digital economy. This paper presents the complete ecosystem vision, architecture, and economics, encompassing Tenzro Network (decentralized AI), Tenzro Ledger (L1 settlement), TNZO (governance token), and TDIP (unified identity).
Tenzro Network: Decentralized AI Infrastructure
Technical whitepaper on Tenzro Network's decentralized AI marketplace and TEE security services. Covers permissionless model serving, intelligent inference routing (price, latency, reputation, weighted strategies), dynamic pricing, per-token micropayment settlement, autonomous agent framework with A2A and MCP protocols, TEE-protected confidential inference, and provider economics—all designed for an era where AI agents are first-class participants.
Tenzro Ledger: L1 Settlement Layer
Deep dive into the technical architecture of Tenzro Ledger, the purpose-built L1 blockchain for AI infrastructure. Covers the multi-VM runtime (EVM, SVM, DAML), HotStuff-2 BFT consensus with TEE-weighted validators, Block-STM parallel execution, EIP-1559 fee market, ERC-4337 account abstraction, and cross-chain bridge integration via LayerZero, Chainlink CCIP, and deBridge.
TDIP: Tenzro Decentralized Identity Protocol
TDIP is Tenzro's unified identity standard for both humans and machines based on W3C Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs). This paper describes the DID format (did:tenzro:), verifiable credentials, auto-provisioned MPC wallets, fine-grained delegation scopes for machine actors, KYC tier support, and cascading revocation mechanisms. Also covers integration with PDIS as a secondary standard.
TNZO Governance
Comprehensive specification of TNZO governance and token economics for the AI age. Covers utility functions (gas fees, settlements, staking, rewards), governance mechanisms (stake-weighted voting, proposal types, quorum requirements), staking economics, liquid staking (stTNZO) with rebasing exchange rate, supply distribution (community allocation 35-40%), treasury management, and network fee flows—enabling both humans and AI agents to participate in protocol governance.
TEE-Based Security & Confidential Computing
Analysis of Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) integration in Tenzro, supporting Intel TDX, AMD SEV-SNP, AWS Nitro, and NVIDIA GPU confidential computing. Covers attestation verification, key management without seed phrases, private AI inference, hybrid ZK-in-TEE execution combining zero-knowledge proofs with hardware attestation, and TEE-weighted consensus (2x validator weight).
Payment Protocols: MPP, x402, and Tempo
Detailed specification of Tenzro's multi-protocol payment infrastructure. Covers MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) with HTTP 402 challenge/credential/receipt flow, x402 (Coinbase's HTTP 402 protocol), Tempo network integration for stablecoin settlement, micropayment channels for per-token AI billing, and identity-bound payments with delegation scope enforcement.
Zero-Knowledge Proofs & GPU-Accelerated Proving
Technical overview of Tenzro's zero-knowledge proof system using Groth16 SNARKs on BN254 curve (~128-bit security). Covers pre-built circuits for inference verification, settlement proofs, and identity proofs. Details GPU-accelerated proving with batch proof generation, Merkle tree-based proof aggregation, multi-level compression (Light/Medium/Heavy), and hybrid ZK-in-TEE execution.
