TXAI Protocol
Community Funding Proposal
$75,000 USD (6,493,506 TX)
TL;DR
TXAI turns the TX blockchain into the natural home for trustworthy AI agent commerce.
In plain terms:
- It creates a new open marketplace where specialized AI agents can earn real money from each other (instead of just costing money).
- Anyone can participate with just a wallet. No KYC, no bank account, no approvals. Permissionless and global.
- More agents using TX means more transactions, more demand for $TX (for fees, staking), and new use cases, especially for real-world assets (RWAs) like automated trading, data services, or compliance checks on tokenized assets.
- For $TX holders: this positions TX as a leader in the fast-growing "agent economy," bringing more developers, more on-chain activity, and long-term network growth. It gives TX a unique superpower that most other blockchains don't have.
The Problem
AI agents are becoming autonomous economic actors. They can reason, plan, and take action. But when it comes to paying each other for services, the infrastructure does not exist.
- No delivery guarantees. Agent A pays Agent B for data. Agent B disappears. No recourse.
- No reputation. A brand-new agent looks identical to one with 1,000 successful deliveries.
- No standard. Every framework invents its own payment flow. Nothing is interoperable.
- One-way spending. Agents burn API credits (OpenAI, Anthropic) but never earn. No circular economy.
The gap between "agents that can act" and "agents that can transact with guarantees" is the difference between a demo and a real economy.
The Solution
TXAI combines three primitives into a single protocol:
- The payment IS the API call. The transaction memo encodes the service request, parameters, and delivery terms. No separate contract deployment needed.
- The token enforces the terms. TX's native Smart Token clawback acts as automatic escrow. Fail to deliver? Tokens return to the payer automatically.
- Trust is earned, not claimed. On-chain trust scores computed from real transaction history. Not opinions, not reviews. Behavior.
Simple version: payment = task + automatic refund if the task fails.
And it works with any Smart Token on TX — not just the TXAI token. A company that issues a property token, a compute token, or a membership token can use TXAI agents for compliance and execution while keeping enforcement authority over their own asset. TXAI is the protocol layer — the rails, not the bank.
What's Already Built
This is not a concept. TXAI is live and working. Everything below can be tested right now.

Real-World Use Cases
TXAI creates a loop of value instead of one-way spending:
Trading agent paying for live data
A DeFi trading bot needs real-time prices. It pays a TXAI oracle agent per request. Bad data? Clawback triggers automatically. The bot only pays for accurate, timely data.
Content agent hiring specialists
A content agent needs a report with images. It subcontracts an image generator and a fact-checker. Each posts delivery proof on-chain. Three agents, three payments, all settled autonomously.
RWA compliance
A tokenized real estate platform needs compliance checks per transfer. A compliance agent charges a small TXAI fee per check. Failed checks trigger clawback. Instant, trustless compliance at scale.
The circular economy
- Agent earns TXAI by delivering services
- Agent spends earned TXAI to hire other agents
- Those agents earn and spend in turn
- Every transaction generates TX gas fees for validators and stakers
- Spending becomes earning. Costs become revenue.
Why TX Has a Strong Advantage
TX's native Smart Token clawback is the key. Here's what it does that CosmWasm alone can't:
- Protocol-level enforcement. Clawback is a flag on the token itself, not an application-layer contract. It can't be bypassed by a buggy or malicious contract.
- Same gas cost as a transfer. No contract execution overhead. Agent payments are as cheap as normal sends.
- No deployment needed. On other chains, you deploy a new escrow contract per use case. On TX, it's built into the token.
| Feature | TX (Smart Tokens) | Other Cosmos | EVM / Solana |
|---|
| Clawback | Native protocol | Custom CosmWasm | Custom Solidity |
| Gas cost | Standard transfer | Contract execution | Contract execution |
| Deployment | No contract needed | Deploy per use case | Deploy per use case |
| Enforcement | Chain-level | Application-level | Application-level |
| Composability | Any IBC chain | IBC compatible | Bridge required |
Other blockchains can approximate this with escrow contracts, but they add cost, complexity, and attack surface. TX's native approach is simpler, cheaper, and more secure.
Vision: TX as the Compliance Settlement Layer
TXAI is not just about agents paying each other. It positions TX as the compliance execution layer for the entire multi-chain economy.
Consider tokenized securities. Ethereum wants tokenized stocks. Solana wants tokenized bonds. But neither chain has native compliance primitives. No on-chain KYC. No deterministic enforcement. No built-in guardrails.
TX does. And TXAI agents are the autonomous workers that make it operational:
- An ETH user wants to trade tokenized stocks. Before execution, a TXAI compliance agent on TX verifies KYC status, jurisdiction eligibility, and asset-level restrictions.
- TX approves. ETH executes. The compliance check settles on TX with full auditability. The trade executes on ETH with the confidence that compliance was enforced.
- Every chain benefits. Any chain that wants its users to participate in regulated asset transactions can route compliance through TX. TX becomes the living compliance layer that gives other chains credibility in financial transactions.
This is where TXAI's cross-chain work leads. The agent-to-agent payment protocol becomes the mechanism for compliance-as-a-service across the multi-chain ecosystem. TX's on-chain KYC, deterministic Smart Tokens, and IBC connectivity make it uniquely suited for this role.
No other chain has this combination. And TXAI is the infrastructure that activates it.
Partnership and Ecosystem
TXAI is designed as an open protocol, not a walled garden. The goal is to become the default settlement layer for AI agent transactions across ecosystems.
- AI framework integrations. Actively engaging teams building agent frameworks (LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen) for SDK integrations. Any framework can plug into TXAI via the public TypeScript SDK.
- Advisory network. Seeking advisors from AI infrastructure providers (compute, data, model serving), blockchain ecosystems, and regulated finance to guide protocol design and adoption.
- Cross-chain partnerships. Engaging Cosmos ecosystem projects (Osmosis, Injective, Neutron) as early integration partners for IBC-based agent settlements.
- Open protocol. The memo format is public. The trust score formula is documented. Any developer, any chain, any agent framework can integrate without permission.
Business Model
TXAI is designed to be self-sustaining. The protocol works with any Smart Token on TX — every new tokenized asset creates more demand for TXAI agent services (compliance checks, validation, execution). The asset token handles enforcement. The TXAI token fuels the agent economy.
- 2% escrow fee on escrow contract transactions: 1% burned (deflationary), 0.5% to treasury, 0.5% to jury pool.
- Issuer protocol stake. Issuers who tokenize assets on the TXAI protocol stake TXAI to access compliance infrastructure. Staked TXAI remains locked as long as assets are live — creating persistent demand at the protocol level.
- Agent registration stake. 10,000 TXAI minimum to list in the marketplace. Reduces spam, creates skin in the game.
- Gas fees. Every agent transaction pays TX gas, directly benefiting validators and $TX stakers.
- Burn mechanism. 1% of every escrow fee is burned, creating deflationary pressure as usage grows.

Risks and Mitigations
AI reliability / hallucinations
AI models sometimes fabricate results or drift. TXAI mitigates this with delivery proof verification (SHA-256 hashes), multi-source consensus, tolerance thresholds, and automatic clawback on failed delivery. The protocol does not trust agents. It verifies them.
Cross-chain enforcement
Clawback enforcement is currently TX-native. Cross-chain settlements via IBC add complexity. Initial deployment focuses where enforcement is strongest (TX-native), with IBC expansion planned.
Oracle dependency
Price oracles depend on external APIs. Mitigated by requiring minimum source counts, consensus pricing, and delivery timeouts that trigger clawback if data is unavailable.
Adoption
Agent-to-agent payments are a new paradigm. Addressed with a publicly documented protocol, live demos, smart airdrop to bootstrap the marketplace, and developer documentation.
Clawback security
Each asset issuer only has clawback authority over their own token — TXAI does not hold centralized enforcement power over other assets. For the TXAI token itself, mitigations include time-locked delivery windows, on-chain proof verification, trust score penalties for abuse, and jury-based dispute resolution.
