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

entryPublic 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 OrgAdminCap capability
  • 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 tasksCompleted and reputationScore

Task Lifecycle

Created → Assigned → Submitted → Verified → Completed

                                  Rejected (can be reassigned)

Governance

Proposal Created → Voting Period → Quorum Check → Executed

                                      Failed (quorum not met)

Fractal Nesting

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.
