Core Concepts Overview
Core Concepts Overview
Autonomous Agents
Unlike traditional NFTs that are static digital assets, BORT agents are autonomous entities that can:
Execute Actions: Perform tasks without manual intervention
Maintain State: Store and update information about their current state
Interact with Contracts: Communicate with other smart contracts on the blockchain
Learn and Evolve: Improve their capabilities over time (optional)
Manage Resources: Handle their own BNB balance for gas fees
Dual-Path Architecture
BORT provides two development paths to accommodate different needs:
Simple Agents (JSON Light Experience)
Purpose: Basic automation and static functionality
Benefits: Low complexity, familiar patterns, immediate deployment
Use Cases: Simple automation, traditional NFT functionality
Learning: Static behavior, no evolution capabilities
Learning Agents (Merkle Tree Learning)
Purpose: Advanced AI with evolving capabilities
Benefits: Verifiable learning, adaptive behavior, higher value
Use Cases: AI assistants, adaptive automation, intelligent services
Learning: Cryptographically verifiable evolution
Hybrid Storage Architecture
BORT uses a hybrid approach to balance efficiency and functionality:
On-Chain Storage
Agent Identity: Core identity and ownership information
State Variables: Current status, balance, logic address
Learning Roots: Merkle tree roots for learning verification
Security Data: Access controls and permissions
Off-Chain Storage
Extended Metadata: Rich persona and experience data
Learning Trees: Detailed learning data and history
Media Assets: Voice samples, animations, extended content
Vault Data: Additional context and configuration
Security Model
BORT implements multiple layers of security:
Access Control
Owner Permissions: Only token owners can modify agents
Logic Upgrades: Controlled logic contract updates
Learning Controls: Authorized learning updates only
Emergency Pauses: Circuit breaker for emergency situations
Cryptographic Verification
Merkle Proofs: Verify learning claims without storing full data
Signature Verification: Cryptographic signatures for sensitive operations
Hash Verification: Verify integrity of off-chain data
Rate Limiting: Prevent spam and abuse
Economic Security
Agent Funding: Agents maintain their own BNB balance
Gas Management: Controlled gas usage for operations
Fee Structure: Transparent fee collection and distribution
Treasury Management: Decentralized fund management
