trustless-ai

Infrastructure you never have to trust — only recompute.

trustless-ai is an open ecosystem of standards, reference implementations and tooling for AI agents: infrastructure anyone can provide, anyone can use, and everyone can verify by recomputing the proof. It is owned by no one.

What it stands for

Nothing ships that a third party can't independently verify from public data. Every claim is re-derived from the primary artifact, pinned to an exact reference, and answered with a tri-state verdict — verified-good, verified-bad, or unverifiable. "Couldn't check" is its own answer, never a silent pass. There is no pitch here; the substance is the pitch.

Verify it yourself

Don't take this page's word for any of it — re-run it:

• recompute-kit — the toolchain. Clone it and re-derive any claim yourself.
• Conformance vectors — public inputs → expected outputs, one row per step; the canonical authority no implementation is trusted above.
• agent-ercs — the interfaces and audited base implementations for every layer.
• onchain-boiler-kit — deploy the stack yourself.
• A live settlement proof — recompute a real mainnet outcome straight from its /proof.

The standards

The agent-standards family — each an ERC or a recomputable reference implementation:

• ERC-8004 — agent identity registry
• ERC-8274 — AI inference proof verification
• ERC-8275 — reputation from recomputable inputs
• ERC-8299 · WYRIWE — input provenance
• ERC-8301 — agent execution / task dispatch
• ERC-8312 — bounded agent actions
• ConsultEscrow — pay-on-delivery settlement
• ccip-router — the recompute mesh (nodes re-run proofs, never self-attested)

Founders

• Damon Zwicker — @damonzwicker · input provenance / OCP (ERC-8281); co-author ERC-8274 & ERC-8299
• Tiago Merlini — @TMerlini (GobRoss / dinamic.eth) · lead author of WYRIWE (ERC-8299), Source-Token Agent Binding (ERC-8217, companion to ERC-8004) & the mesh-sync ERC (ERC-11800); co-author ERC-8274; composition-note weaver; ccip-router mesh
• Jimmy Shi — @JimmyShi22 · agent execution (ERC-8301); lead author ERC-8274; stood up agent-ercs
• Fede — @babyblueviper1 · verification & reputation; co-author ERC-8274 & ERC-8299; runs the invinoveritas verdict ledger
• Vincent Wu — @TruthAnchor-AI · ERC-8263 (the Anchor)

Contributors

• Panini (Brooks) — @Brooks1003 · ERC-8275 reputation; settlement
• Pavlo Tvardovskyi — @pipavlo82 · ReceiptOS; eligibility
• blockbird — ERC-8312 bounded agent actions
• Pocket Network (VNI) — Tracie Myers · Ramiro · ERC-8294 / Validation Network Interface

Each person authors the layer they own; coordination is by hand across channels, and the organization is the shared, CC0 home.

Contact & press

The work lives in the open on github.com/trustless-ai. For anything specific, the fastest path is an issue on the relevant repository — where it can be checked against the artifact, like everything else.
