Protocol architecture

The Konnex stack aligns communication, contracts, intelligence, and motion. Every step — broadcast, bidding, execution, proof, payout — flows through four deterministic layers and one economic loop. Settlement is stablecoin‑native; security, governance, and fees are in KNX. Validators and (optionally) executors post dual stakes (KNX + stablecoins).

Protocol Architecture — From Packet to Proof

Mesh & Gossip

libp2p + QUIC, NAT‑friendly, always‑on.

• Task Channel task.* — signed JSON intents.

• Bid Channel bid.* — bids with ETA and collateral declarations.

• Score Channel score.* — validator ScoreRoot each block (KPIs, slashing directives).

• Proof Channel proof.* — batched evidence references (video/GPS/IMU/torque/thermal).

Registry & Smart Contracts

• RobotIdentity — hardware‑secured keys and on‑chain trust.

• TaskRegistry — stablecoin escrow, deadlines, penalties, fee‑split logic.

• StakeVault — dual staking (KNX + stablecoins) for validators/executors; class‑based slashing.

• BondMatrix — stablecoin bonds from third‑party stakers.

• PayoutRouter — atomic stablecoin releases after validation.

Every packet’s SHA‑3 hash becomes its immutable JobID.

Intelligence & Motion Markets

Two miner roles; one bidding protocol.

• Motion Miners — trajectories in deterministic sandbox (Bullet3D + seeded RNG).

• AI Miners — perception/planning models as WASM weights or streaming endpoints.

Verification & PoPW

Validator council, deterministic replay.

1. Deterministic replay of trajectories.

2. Model audits vs ground truth.

3. PoPW check — evidence completeness, alignment, binding to JobID/deadline.

4. Slash/Reward — write ScoreRoot; release stablecoin escrow or apply stablecoin penalties in the same block (fees in KNX).

Dual‑Stake for Validators

• KNX security stake — slashed on protocol/consensus faults.

• Stablecoin assurance stake — compensates users for settlement‑layer faults (e.g., approving invalid PoPW).

Fast‑finality targets: <10 s for sim‑only; <60 min with full PoPW.

Economic Loop

• Stablecoins — settlement and validator assurance.

• KNX — security and fees; buyback flywheel via small stablecoin flow fee. Supply, allocation, and unlock schedule: Tokenomics.

Trust‑adjusted stake sizing (illustrative): S_KNX ∝ 1/√T, S_stable ∝ 1/√T.
