Rahu Protocol is the world's first self-improving Layer 2 with autonomous AI governance.
THE PROBLEM:
Current L2s require manual governance for parameter changes (gas limits, TPS, block times). This causes:
- Weeks of delays while network conditions change by the second
- Slow response to congestion (users suffer high fees)
- Human bottlenecks in critical decisions
OUR SOLUTION:
An autonomous feedback loop where AI optimizes the blockchain in real-time:
-
MONITORING (ASI Alliance)
- Rahu Agent (uAgents framework) monitors network every 30 seconds
- MeTTa symbolic reasoning generates explainable proposals
- Agent: agent1qw5jxpuav9guk68zy720he4nrxxh6wcljllgme770reyhv2ykm6q5ft3q8j
-
REAL-TIME DATA (Pyth Network)
- Live ETH/USD and gas price feeds trigger optimization thresholds
- Contract: 0xBb0a1269d09FEc7679f65515a4eA4a86e1f6aBA9
-
TRUSTLESS VERIFICATION (ZK Proofs)
- Every AI decision proven correct with zkML before execution
- Contract validates proofs on-chain—don't trust the AI, verify the math
- Contract: 0xb31AcDfaAac74731e655c96A90EB910dD827bFFB
-
SCALABLE STORAGE (Avail)
- L2 data posted to Avail Turing testnet (blocks 1831478-1831480)
- Contract: 0xbE305c0166cE744ceac245Cc492C296196d36df1
THE FLOW:
Agent detects congestion → MeTTa proposes optimization → Pyth confirms conditions → ZK proof generated → Verified on-chain → Parameters updated → Data to Avail → Repeat every 30s
RESULT:
A Layer 2 that adapts to network conditions autonomously without human intervention, solving governance bottlenecks while maintaining trustlessness through ZK verification.

TECH STACK OVERVIEW:
AI Agent (Python + uAgents) → Smart Contracts (Solidity) → Oracles (Pyth) → DA Layer (Avail) → Frontend (React)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🧠 ASI ALLIANCE INTEGRATION (Brain)
RAHU AGENT:
- Built with: Python + ASI Alliance uAgents SDK
- File: agents/src/rahu_agent.py (250+ lines)
- Monitors: Gas prices, TPS, congestion every 30 seconds
- How: Queries RahuL2 contract via web3.py, collects metrics, triggers proposals
METTA REASONING:
- File: agents/src/metta_reasoning.py
- Why: Traditional ML = black box. MeTTa = explainable symbolic AI
- Input: [gas: 72 Gwei, TPS: 950/1000, congestion: 78%]
- Output: Proposal + Confidence Score + Human-readable reasoning
- Example: "Congestion at 72%. Propose +15% gas limit for better throughput."
ASI:ONE CHAT:
- File: frontend/src/components/ChatInterface.tsx
- Allows queries: "What's your status?" → Agent responds with metrics
- Human-in-the-loop transparency
CHALLENGE: Getting Python agent to talk to Ethereum contracts
SOLUTION: web3.py bridge with gas estimation and nonce management

👁️ PYTH NETWORK INTEGRATION (Eyes)
PYTHORACLE CONTRACT:
- File: contracts/contracts/PythOracle.sol
- Deployed: 0xBb0a1269d09FEc7679f65515a4eA4a86e1f6aBA9
- Uses: @pythnetwork/pyth-sdk-solidity
- Fetches: ETH/USD price + gas metrics with confidence intervals
AI USES IT TO:
- Track gas trends: [45, 52, 58, 62] Gwei over 2 minutes
- Trigger proposals when gas >50 Gwei for 10+ consecutive readings
- Verify ETH price stable before major changes
OPTIMIZATION HACK:
- Frontend fetches Pyth off-chain (free), caches 15s
- Only calls contract when submitting proposal (gas-efficient)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🌐 AVAIL INTEGRATION (Backbone)
AVAILBRIDGE CONTRACT:
- File: contracts/contracts/AvailBridge.sol
- Deployed: 0xbE305c0166cE744ceac245Cc492C296196d36df1
- Flow:
- L2 block data compressed (zlib)
- Hash computed: keccak256(data)
- Actual data → Avail Turing testnet
- Commitment stored on Ethereum
- Real blocks posted: 1831478, 1831479, 1831480 (verifiable on explorer)
WHY AVAIL:
- Scalability (cheaper than Ethereum blob space)
- Security (data can be reconstructed if needed)
- Modular (swap DA layer without changing L2 logic)
FALLBACK HACK:
- If Avail timeout → Store in IPFS + post CID
- Maintains demo stability with real Avail when available
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔒 ZK PROOFS (Trust)
ZKVERIFIER CONTRACT:
- File: contracts/contracts/ZKVerifier.sol
- Deployed: 0xb31AcDfaAac74731e655c96A90EB910dD827bFFB
THE INNOVATION - zkML:
- Problem: How to trust AI decisions?
- Solution: ZK proof of correctness
- Agent generates proposal → Runs verification logic → Compiles to Circom circuit → Generates proof → Submits to contract → Cryptographic validation
PROOF CONSTRAINTS:
- Proposed change <20% of current (safety bound)
- Congestion >70% (threshold to act)
- Gas trend positive (prices rising)
HACKIEST PART:
- Circom doesn't support floats → Convert to fixed-point (multiply by 1e6)
- Proof generation = 30s → Too slow
- OUR HACK: Pre-generate proofs for common scenarios (+15%, +10%, -5%)
- Agent selects closest match (instant)
- For production: Would use GPU acceleration or RISC Zero
