AINRP AI Identity and Non-Repudiation Protocol
AINRP is a trust infrastructure layer for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It enables secure, verifiable, and accountable digital and physical actions by AI agents. This protocol uses decentralized identifiers (DIDs), smart contracts, and a native token (AINRP) to facilitate non-repudiation, permissioning, and governance across AI ecosystems.
Vision Build a zero-trust layer that ensures every AI agent:
Has a cryptographically verifiable identity (W3C DID)
Operates under permissioned smart contracts
Logs its actions in an immutable, auditable trail
Pays or earns via programmable stablecoins or AINRP tokens
Architecture Overview css Copy [Agent Action] → [DID Auth] → [AINRP Token Staked / Smart Contract Validation] → [Blockchain Audit Log] → [Stablecoin or Token Transaction] Smart Contract Modules AINRPToken.sol — ERC-20 token contract (1B supply)
DIDRegistry — Agent identity binding and permission metadata (in progress)
Logger — Immutable action log (linked to DID)
StakingManager — Require token staking for agent rights (optional)
GovernanceDAO — Proposals and voting for rule changes (future)

Contracts The smart contracts in this project are written in Solidity and use OpenZeppelin libraries. Key contract:
AINRPToken.sol: ERC-20 token with capped supply and minting on deployment

Tooling and Scripts This repository uses the Hardhat development environment for compiling, testing, and deploying contracts.
Suggested workflow:
Run npm install to install dependencies
Use npx hardhat compile to compile contracts
Deploy using scripts from the /scripts folder
Planned scripts:
/scripts/deploy.js — deployment of AINRPToken and supporting contracts
