{"id":"autonolas","version":1,"language":"en","title":"Autonolas","hidden":false,"content":"**Autonolas** is a platform dedicated to the development of autonomous applications for developers and [decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/dao) by providing a foundation for continuous operation, independent decision-making, and external interaction through their open-source software stack. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-d8ty6l71sfm)  \n  \n# Overview  \n  \nAutonolas addresses the essential requirements for autonomous applications within the [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) context, referred to as off-chain services. The platform offers an open-source software stack and an on-chain protocol, facilitating secure operations and incentivizing autonomous application development. The Autonolas tech stack comprises four key building blocks, enabling full-stack autonomy and creating opportunities for application growth. Autonolas aims to include business logic within their software components to be used within the [cryptocurrency](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency) landscape. [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-88x1b43qwr3)[\\[3\\]](#cite-id-3zrvhpgv1x3)  \n$$widget0 [YOUTUBE@VID](oznC6JXb7EQ)$$  \n  \n# Architecture  \n  \nAutonolas' software framework, Open Autonomy, forms the basis for constructing agent services, which are off-chain autonomous entities operating as a multi-agent system. These services enhance on-chain functionalities while primarily residing off-chain, allowing for the creation of novel and fully autonomous applications. [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-wu5x2f025zs)  \n  \n## Multi-Agent Systems Architecture  \n  \nAutonolas employs Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) as the cornerstone for building autonomous software services. MAS involves groups of software agents operating in complex, multi-stakeholder scenarios with competing incentives, hereafter referred to as agent services. The open-area framework, a [crypto](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency)-friendly MAS framework co-created by an Autonolas co-founder, serves as the primary means for implementing Autonolas agent services. This Python-based open-source library enables developers to create agents capable of peer-to-peer communication, direct interaction with blockchains and [smart contracts](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract), and implementation of arbitrary business logic through reusable components. [\\[5\\]](#cite-id-j2idfspbswe)  \n![image](https://ipfs.everipedia.org/ipfs/QmdywKZuQxPkpZx53RycJH6vREwwERBBvgJ1bMgNe7AfGq)  \n  \n## Consensus for Agent Services  \n  \nAgent services within the Open Autonomy framework function as multi-stakeholder systems requiring collective agreement on actions or computation outputs. Autonolas introduces state-minimized consensus gadgets, secure mechanisms facilitating internal consensus among agents without relying on traditional [blockchains](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain). The initial implementation employs [Tendermint](https://iq.wiki/wiki/tendermint) as a consensus engine, providing secure [Byzantine fault-tolerant](https://iq.wiki/wiki/byzantine-fault-tolerance) replication and deterministic finality. The choice of consensus gadgets contributes to the efficiency and trust minimization of agent services, allowing for decentralized fault-tolerant operations. [\\[6\\]](#cite-id-pzgp2fjlgw)  \n  \n## Architecture of Crypto-Native Agent Services  \n  \nAutonolas' off-chain agent services, logically centralized yet replicated across multiple machines, leverage a temporary blockchain created using consensus gadgets. The architecture involves operators controlling agents and consensus gadget nodes, interconnected to achieve fault-tolerant replication. Each agent runs an ABCI application instance, defining a finite-state machine replicated on the temporary blockchain. The FSMBehaviour of agents ensures proactive logic, allowing for the composition of services through reusable components and the chaining of ABCI applications. [\\[7\\]](#cite-id-cw8ayjlbuwh)  \n  \n## On-Chain Protocol to Anchor Autonomous Services  \n  \nThe on-chain protocol serves as the anchor for Autonolas' autonomous services on the target settlement layer, providing primitives for service creation, operation, and security. The modular design of the protocol, featuring upgradable modules and a core-periphery architecture, ensures extensibility without compromising security. Autonolas' on-chain protocol supports various roles, including developers creating agent components, service owners controlling services, operators operating agent instances, and users utilizing services. The protocol relies on [ERC-721](https://iq.wiki/wiki/erc-721) [NFTs](https://iq.wiki/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft) to uniquely represent agent components, canonical agents, and services, ensuring immutability and censorship resistance. Additionally, the protocol allows for the chaining of ABCI applications and the integration of service extension contracts, providing flexibility and customization beyond the agent protocol's scope. [\\[7\\]](#cite-id-cw8ayjlbuwh)  \n  \n# Autonolas Protocol  \n  \nThe Autonolas Protocol represents a suite of [smart contracts](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract) designed to lead, secure, and govern software code within the public blockchain. Embracing the Open Autonomy framework as its primary structure for realizing autonomous services, the protocol is adaptable to alternative frameworks. [\\[8\\]](#cite-id-421affmidcf)  \n  \n## Deployment and Components  \n  \nPresently operational on the [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet) and Göerli testnet, the Autonolas Protocol enlists three principal components:[\\[8\\]](#cite-id-421affmidcf)  \n  \n1. **On-Chain Registries:** Facilitates the registration of autonomous services, software agents, and agent components as on-chain NFTs. This functionality extends to the assembly of components into agents, agents into autonomous services, and the secure operation of these services.  \n2. **Tokenomics:** Outlines the economic framework using the OLAS token as a coordination mechanism. This model fosters the pairing of capital and code, attracts escalating value to ensure decentralized services, and rewards developers in tandem with their contributions.  \n3. **Governance:** Empowers the Autonolas [DAO](https://iq.wiki/wiki/dao), a decentralized autonomous organization, to guide and refine the Autonolas protocol over time. [\\[8\\]](#cite-id-421affmidcf)  \n  \n$$widget0 [YOUTUBE@VID](oNNXlizKnYM)$$  \n  \n## Mint Packages NFTs  \n  \nThe Autonolas Protocol provides a web app for minting software packages as [NFTs](https://iq.wiki/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft). Users can mint three types: services, agents, and components. The process involves creating a metadata file, publishing it on a remote [IPFS](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ipfs) registry, and interacting with protocol smart contracts for on-chain minting.
