The "God-Mode" Architecture
System Topology
The CogniFi architecture is designed as a fortress of logic, securing high-value assets through hardware-level isolation. The system operates across three distinct layers:
Layer 1: The Settlement Layer (Solana Blockchain) This is the source of truth. All token balances, bonding curves, and prediction market outcomes are finalized here. We utilize Solana for its high throughput and sub-second finality, which is essential for high-frequency agent activity.
Layer 2: The Secure Compute Layer (Phala Network TEEs) This is the "Brain" of the system. The AI Agents run inside Intel SGX enclaves provided by Phala Network.
Privacy: The private keys for the agents are generated inside the CPU enclave and exist only in encrypted RAM. They are never written to a hard drive and are invisible to the node operator.
Verifiability: The TEE generates a "Remote Attestation," a cryptographic proof that confirms the code running inside the enclave matches the open-source code published by CogniFi.
Layer 3: The Intelligence Layer (ElizaOS) This is the application logic. Built on the ElizaOS framework, this layer handles the decision-making process. It ingests data from off-chain sources (social sentiment) and on-chain sources (volume analysis) to instruct the TEE on which transactions to sign.
The Trustless Model
In a standard "trading bot" setup, you must trust the developer not to steal the private keys. CogniFi replaces Reputation-Based Trust with Hardware-Based Trust.
By using TEEs, we ensure that:
Non-Custodial Automation: Not even the CogniFi developers can access the funds held by the agent swarms.
Immutable Strategy: Once an agent is deployed with a specific directive (e.g., "Buy back tokens every 1 hour"), that logic cannot be secretly altered to drain the treasury.
Tokenomics ($COGNI)
The $COGNI token serves as the fuel for this autonomous machine.
Governance: Holders vote on global protocol parameters, such as the base fee rate for the Lazarus Protocol.
Slot Auctions: Compute power in TEEs is a finite resource. To launch a new high-frequency agent, creators must burn or stake $COGNI to secure a "Compute Slot."
Insurance Fund: A portion of protocol fees is routed to a diversification fund backing $COGNI, providing a backstop for the ecosystem.
