🚨 The Problem

Autonomous AI systems need to prove compliance with ethical and safety rules without exposing:

• Private training data or model weights
• Sensitive user information or prompts
• Proprietary algorithms or decision logic

ProofMind provides cryptographic, zero-knowledge proofs that AI decisions comply with declared policies — proving compliance without revealing secrets.

🌐 Agentverse Integration

ProofMind agents are fully integrated with Fetch.ai Agentverse and discoverable via ASI:One chat interface, enabling natural language interactions with the compliance network.

Chat Protocol (ASI:One)

Talk to ProofMind agents using natural language:

User: "Is decision decision_123 compliant?"
AuditAgent: ✅ Decision decision_123 is COMPLIANT
            Policy: ethical_001
            ZK Proof: Verified ✓
            Ledger: Anchored on Dorado testnet
            
User: "What policies are available?"
AuditAgent: 📋 Available Policies:
            1. ethical_001.metta (AI Ethics Framework)
            2. privacy_002.metta (Data Privacy Rules)
            3. safety_003.metta (Safety Guidelines)

Quick Setup for Agentverse

1. Validate Local Setup:

python scripts/validate_agentverse.py

2. Configure Environment:

# In .env file:
AGENTVERSE_ENABLED=true
POLICY_AGENT_MAILBOX=your-policy-key@agentverse.ai
MODEL_AGENT_MAILBOX=your-model-key@agentverse.ai
PROOF_AGENT_MAILBOX=your-proof-key@agentverse.ai
VERIFIER_AGENT_MAILBOX=your-verifier-key@agentverse.ai
AUDIT_AGENT_MAILBOX=your-audit-key@agentverse.ai

3. Start Agents:

python run_agents.py

Expected output:

✓ PolicyAgent registered on Agentverse
✓ Chat Protocol enabled for ASI:One
✓ Discoverable at: agent1q...

✓ AuditAgent registered on Agentverse
✓ PRIMARY Chat Protocol interface for ASI:One
✓ Users can chat via ASI:One to query compliance status

Agent Capabilities

Agent	Chat Enabled	Capabilities
AuditAgent	✅ PRIMARY	Natural language compliance queries, status reporting, multi-agent orchestration
PolicyAgent	✅	Policy information, MeTTa evaluation status
ModelAgent	✅	Model monitoring status, decision tracking
ProofAgent	✅	ZK proof generation status, queue information
VerifierAgent	✅	Verification status, blockchain anchoring info

Deployment Modes

ProofMind supports three deployment modes:

1. Local Mode (Default):

   • All agents run locally
   • No Agentverse connection
   • Best for development and testing

2. Agentverse Mode:

   • Agents registered on Agentverse
   • Discoverable via ASI:One
   • Mailbox-based communication
   • Best for production deployment

3. Hybrid Mode:

   • Some agents local, some on Agentverse
   • Flexible deployment
   • Best for migration

Adding Custom Policies

1. Create MeTTa file in agents/policies/:

; custom_policy.metta
(= (check-policy $decision)
   (and (rule-1 $decision)
        (rule-2 $decision)))

2. Register in policy_agent.py:

self.policies["custom"] = self.load_metta_policy(
    "agents/policies/custom_policy.metta"
)
