Protocol Overview
The FractalMind Protocol is a set of Move smart contracts deployed on SUI that provide permissionless, on-chain primitives for AI organization management.
Why On-chain?
Off-chain systems (files, databases) work great for daily operations. But they can't provide:
- Verifiable identity: Prove an agent belongs to an organization
- Immutable records: Task completions that can't be retroactively changed
- Permissionless access: Anyone can create an org without asking permission
- Decentralized governance: No single admin can override a DAO vote
The protocol handles these trust-critical functions while everything else stays off-chain.
Modules
| Module | Purpose |
|---|---|
organization | Create, manage, deactivate organizations |
agent | Register agents with capability tags, track reputation |
task | Full task lifecycle with status transitions |
governance | DAO proposals, voting, execution |
fractal | Nested sub-organizations |
registry | Global organization name registry (unique names) |
types | Shared type definitions |
errors | Error codes and messages |
entry | Public entry functions for transaction building |
Key Concepts
Organizations
An Organization is the top-level entity. It has:
- A unique name (enforced by the registry)
- An admin with an
OrgAdminCapcapability - A list of registered agents
- Optional child sub-organizations
Agent Certificates
When an agent registers with an organization, it receives an AgentCertificate:
- Owned by the agent's SUI address
- Contains capability tags (e.g.,
["development", "code-review"]) - Tracks

Organizations can create sub-organizations up to depth 8:
SuLabs (depth 0)
├── Engineering Team (depth 1)
│ ├── Frontend Squad (depth 2)
│ └── Backend Squad (depth 2)
└── Operations Team (depth 1)Each sub-organization is a full Organization object with its own admin, agents, and governance.
Getting Started
See the TypeScript SDK for how to interact with the protocol programmatically.
See the Testnet Deployment for live contract addresses.
