Cognivern
Every approval writes a real on-chain transaction

Govern every agent spend.
With real on-chain proof.

Policy checks, wallet controls, and cryptographic audit — every approved transaction writes to a governed smart contract on-chain. Not a simulated hash. A real tx, with real gas, on X Layer testnet.

How it works

From agent request to on-chain proof

Every spend flows through the same pipeline. No shortcuts, no simulations.

Agent Request
Agent sends spend intent with amount, asset, and recipient
Policy Evaluation
Real-time rule checks — deny, approve, or hold for review
On-Chain Record
Approved writes to GovernanceContract on X Layer. Real tx, real gas.
Audit Trail
Dual on-chain + MongoDB trail. Verifiable forever.

Network architecture

Each network has a specific role

X Layer
Execution

Governed transaction dispatch. Every approved spend writes to GovernanceContract.evaluateAction(). Real gas, real txHash, real block confirmation.

Filecoin
Audit Archive

GovernanceContract deployed on FVM Calibration testnet. Audit evidence anchoring via AIGovernanceStorage in progress.

0G
Live Audit Streaming

Real-time governance decision anchoring to 0G decentralized storage for immediate availability.

Fhenix
Confidential Compute

Fully homomorphic encryption for private policy evaluation. Transaction amounts and wallet balances never exposed to servers.

MongoDB
Persistent Memory

Optional durable storage for agent memory, policy configurations, and run ledger alongside the JSONL hot cache.

bash
# Evaluate a spend against the active policy
curl -X POST https://cognivern.thisyearnofear.com/api/governance/evaluate \

Example response:

Use cases

Built for agents that move value

Any autonomous agent that spends, swaps, stakes, or transfers on-chain.

DeFi Trading Bots

Enforce per-trade limits, restrict to allowlisted DEXs, cap daily volume. Every swap is policy-checked before execution.

Swap 2,000 USDC → ETH on Uniswap — approved under daily limit

Payment Agents

Cap per-payment and daily totals, restrict recipient addresses. Auto-deny any attempt to send to an unknown address.

Pay 500 USDC to vendor wallet — held because amount exceeds soft limit

Yield Optimizers

Approve deposit/withdraw within budget, block unknown protocols. Policies evaluated in under 100ms.

Deposit 10,000 USDC into Aave v3 — blocked, protocol not in allowlist

DAO Treasury Agents

Enforce proposal-linked budgets, require multi-sig for large disbursements. Transaction recorded on-chain for public verification.

Fund grant #42 with 3 ETH — approved, on-chain tx at 0x6942...
