Core Contracts

📜 AgentPledge.sol

Core staking contract. Agents deposit $STAKE as collateral, earn trust scores, and face slashing for misbehavior.

pledge(amount) Stake tokens

requestUnstake(amount) Start 7-day cooldown

unstake() Withdraw after cooldown

getTrustScore(agent) Calculate trust score

slash(agent, %, victim) Slash stake (auth only)

⚖️ DisputeResolution.sol

Dispute adjudication system. Tiered resolution from operator rulings to juror panels to appeals court.

fileDispute(agent, evidence) Submit complaint

operatorRuling(id, verdict) Operator decision

registerAsJuror(amount) Stake to judge

vote(disputeId, forSlash) Cast juror vote

resolveDispute(id) Finalize verdict

Trust Score Formula

Trust isn't just about how much you stake — it's about how long you've been staking and your track record.

TrustScore = StakeAmount × AgeMultiplier × TrackRecord

Age Multipliers

Duration	Status	Multiplier
< 7 days	Newcomer	0.5x
7-30 days	Baseline	1.0x
30-90 days	Established	1.5x
90-180 days	Veteran	2.0x
180+ days	Diamond Hands	2.5x

Dispute Resolution Flow

1

File Dispute

Complainant submits evidence + pays filing fee (100 $STAKE). Fee returned if they win.

2

Operator Review

Single operator makes initial ruling. Fast (24-48h). Appealable by either party.

3

Arbitration

If appealed: 5+ jurors vote. Simple majority wins. Jurors stake $STAKE — vote with majority to earn, against to lose.

4

Appeals Court

Final appeal: 11+ jurors. Higher stakes, final ruling. No further appeals.

5

Resolution

If agent guilty: stake slashed. 60% → victim, 30% → jurors, 10% → treasury.

Slashing Schedule

Violation	Severity	Slash %
Task timeout	Minor	5%
Incorrect output	Moderate	10-25%
Harmful action	Major	50-100%
Fraud / deception	Critical	100% + Blacklist

Slash Distribution

Slashed Amount
    │
    ├── 60% → Victim (compensation)
    ├── 30% → Jurors (if arbitrated)
    └── 10% → Protocol Treasury
