Cleonlab
Whitepaper

Cleon Protocol v1.0.

The technical specification for persona-bound, skill-composable AI agents on Base, including identity, execution, registries, verification, and token design.

Working Draft

This page summarizes the local `whitepaper.tex` draft. The canonical specification remains the LaTeX document in the repository until the final PDF is published.

Identity

Personas are durable agent identities.

A persona is minted as an ERC-721 object and points to a canonical schema payload stored off-chain and hash-anchored on-chain.

Capability

Skills are portable typed interfaces.

Skill manifests describe JSON Schema input/output, permissions, risk class, execution requirements, and publisher metadata.

Runtime

Compositions become executable agents.

A runtime resolves persona and skills, validates signatures, constructs the system prompt, mediates tool calls, and returns an execution record.

Trust

Verification is incremental.

The system supports fast Cloud Mode today and leaves room for TEE-attested and ZK-proven execution as those systems mature.

Storage

Everything important is content-addressed.

Persona payloads and skill manifests live on IPFS with optional Arweave mirrors, while registries preserve the authoritative anchors.

Token

$CLEON coordinates the community.

The token is not required for minting, publishing, calling, or governance. It is a fair-launch coordination layer on top.
