Agentic VM
Below is a clean, structured, English version of the architecture you asked for:
Intent Computing + Smart Contracts + Agents + Virtual Machine unified into an “Agent-VM”.
This is written in technical white-paper English, suitable for architecture review or a draft specification.

Agent-VM: A Unified Architecture for Intents, Agents, Contracts and VM Execution
(English Version)
1. Overview: A New Execution Paradigm
The Agent-VM unifies four traditionally separate layers:
- Intent Computing (ICR): expressing goals + constraints + verifiable context.
- Agent Architecture: autonomous planners/executors with capabilities & reputation.
- Smart Contracts: immutable invariants, state machines, settlement.
- Virtual Machine: deterministic, verifiable, resource-metered state execution.
The result is a goal-oriented, agent-centric execution environment where:
Intents become first-class objects,
agents become verifiable executors,
contracts guard invariants,
and the VM ensures deterministic, auditable reality.
2. Core Lifecycle: Intent → Plan → Act → Prove → Settle
- Intent Submission:
I = <Goal, Constraints, SLA, Stake, Audience, Version>
Intents may be single-party or multi-party (joint intents). - Agent Matching & Planning:
Agents advertise capability vectors and reputation scores (ρ).
Routing chooses the best agent(s).
The agent produces a Plan Graph (HTN decomposition + policy constraints). - Execution (Act):
The agent executes the plan in a deterministic sandbox and writes every step into a Verifiable Logic Clock (VLC), forming an IntentDAG. - Proof Generation:
The agent produces a PoCW (Proof of Constructive Work) packet:- Quality metrics
- Novelty & reuse scores
- External attestations (oracle / TEE / ZK proofs)
- Deterministic replay logs
- Quality metrics
- Settlement:
Smart contracts check invariants, validate the proof, and settle:- CreditΔ
- RewardΔ
- ReputationΔ
- Bond release or slashing
- CreditΔ
3. First-Class Objects
3.1 Intent Object
{
"intent_id": "I-…",
"owner": "acct:…",
"goal": "Summarize paper X and draft 10 tweets",
"constraints": {"deadline":"2025-11-30","budget":{"aiusd":20}},
"stake": {"bond": 3},
"sla": {"quality":"A-","latency":600},
"audience": ["public"]
}
3.2 VLC Log Node
{
"node_id": "N-…",
"intent_id": "I-…",
"parents": ["N-1","N-3"],
"vlc": "vlc:123456:agentA",
"action": {"tool":"web.read","args":{"url":"…"}},
"model": {"name":"gpt-…","hash":"…"},
"attest": [{"by":"agentB","sig":"…"}],
"metrics": {"quality":0.86,"novelty":0.41},
"gas_ai": 0.72
}

Key Properties
- Deterministic execution
- Capability-based security
- Linear resource types (Move-style)
- Verifiable external inputs (TEE / ZK / signatures)
- Auditable IntentDAG with VLC timestamps
5. Instruction Set & Syscalls
Intent Syscalls
- INTENT_SUBMIT
- INTENT_DERIVE (sub-intents)
- INTENT_BIND(Contract, Invariants)
- INTENT_COMMIT / ABORT
Agent Syscalls
- AGENT_FORK / JOIN
- AGENT_REQUEST_CAP(cap, scope)
- AGENT_ATTEST(ref) (oracle/TEE/ZK input)
- AGENT_REPUTE(delta)
Resource Syscalls
- RES_LOCK / UNLOCK
- PAY / ESCROW / CLAIM
- ZK_VERIFY(pi, stmt)
- VLC_TICK / VLC_MERGE
These allow intents and agents to be executed natively in the VM, instead of being emulated through ad-hoc off-chain scripts.
6. PoCW: Proof of Constructive Work
A universal metric for agent performance:
PoCW = Q^a · C^-b · R^c · N^d · V^e
Where:
- Q: output quality
- C: cost
- R: reusability
- N: novelty
- V: verification strength (replay/ZK/attestation)
This becomes the economic engine for credit, reputation, and incentives.
7. Security Model
- Linear resource types (Move): prevent double-spend of assets or capabilities
- OCap model: all external privileges must be explicitly requested
- Deterministic replay: every execution fully reproducible
- Verifiable inputs only: all real-world data must have proofs
- VLC concurrency: safe partial ordering avoids global locking
- Invariant enforcement: contracts guard correctness at commit time
8. Example Execution Flow
User intent:
“Swap 1,000 AIUSD → HETU with max slippage 0.3% within 2 minutes.”
Agent-VM pipeline:
- Intent submitted with bond + SLA
- Router selects high-reputation trading agent
- Agent plans multi-hop DEX route
- Fetches prices with attestation proofs
- Simulates & validates invariants
- Executes swaps deterministically
- Produces PoCW proof
- Contract settles & updates credit/reputation
This is native intent execution, not a traditional transaction.
9. Developer Experience (DX)
Intent DSL
intent! {
goal: "Swap 1000 AIUSD → HETU",
constraints: [slippage < 0.3%, deadline = now + 120s],
budget: Power(2e6),
bond: 50
}
CLI Examples
agent plan I-abc
agent simulate I-abc
agent prove I-abc
agent commit I-abc
10. Why This Unification Matters
- Agents gain native execution semantics
- Intents become first-class programmable objects
- Smart contracts enforce invariants, not business logic
- VM becomes goal-oriented, agent-driven, verifiable
- Enables multi-party, multi-agent, multi-intent coordination
- Perfectly aligns with the IFC/ISO/ICR/RIB civilization stack
This is the correct architecture for AI-native blockchains.
