This technical note presents a framework for regulating AI services using bonding curves and smart contracts, suggesting a new governance approach.
This technical disclosure describes a novel architectural framework for the automated settlement and metering of autonomous AI agent services. It introduces the x402 rail dual-token bonding curve tethered to stablecoin liquidity, Zero-Knowledge (ZK) Proxy Metering for computational resource verification, and the GovernanceGuard.sol smart contract architecture for autonomous regulatory compliance. This document is published as a defensive prior art record to preserve freedom to operate and prevent third-party patenting of the described systems.
