Glossary

  • AI Agent: An intelligent, programmable on-chain participant that autonomously evaluates proposals, scores risk, routes decisions, and executes governance actions across chains.

  • AI Delegation: A mechanism allowing users to assign governance authority to AI agents. These agents operate based on configurable rulesets, risk preferences, and compliance thresholds.

  • AI Governance Layer: Quack AI’s core infrastructure — a modular system that handles proposal generation, scoring, delegation, execution, and compliance enforcement using AI-native agents.

  • AI Twin (Digital Twin): A customizable AI agent that mirrors a user’s governance preferences, risk appetite, and compliance needs. Serves as a personalized governance assistant across multiple ecosystems

  • AI-Powered Proposal Engine: A system that transforms structured or unstructured inputs (documents, data, disclosures) into formal on-chain governance proposals — scored and categorized by AI.

  • AI-Driven Execution: The automatic enforcement of approved proposals by AI agents. Includes treasury disbursements, contract upgrades, role changes, and other governance-linked actions.

  • x402 BNB: The first unified sign-to-pay and governance layer on BNB Chain. Replaces multi-step transactions with one verifiable signature for compliant, auditable execution.

  • Sign-to-Pay Architecture: A transaction model where a single signature authorizes payments and governance actions. Gas, policy, and compliance checks are handled automatically through delegated facilitators.

  • Delegated Execution (EIP-7702): Allows users to delegate one-time execution rights to trusted facilitators. Enables secure, gasless execution under predefined governance and compliance logic.

  • Witness Signatures (EIP-712): Structured signatures embedding transaction intent, scope, and expiry. Provide verifiable, audit-ready context for every x402 BNB action.

  • Facilitator Layer: The sponsored relayer network responsible for executing sign-to-pay transactions. Manages gas, applies compliance rules, and validates policy adherence before settlement.

  • Governed Execution: Execution of transactions through AI-verified policy logic. Ensures every action aligns with governance standards and institutional compliance.

  • Proposal Scoring Engine: An AI model that assigns each proposal a GovernanceScore() based on urgency, feasibility, compliance alignment, historical context, and risk exposure.

  • Compliance-Gated Governance: Governance flows restricted by identity verification, jurisdictional rules, or KYC/AML checks — ensuring only authorized users can participate in regulated governance processes.

  • RWA Governance Modules: Specialized components that support governance for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), such as NAV tracking, PoR freshness validation, and redemption queue logic.

  • Treasury Governance Automation: AI-driven automation of treasury activity — including budget approvals, reward distribution, milestone payouts, and cross-chain fund transfers.

  • Smart Contract Enforcement: Automated, tamper-proof execution of governance decisions via smart contracts. Removes manual intervention from treasury, compliance, and role-management workflows.

  • Governance Yield: Earned by delegating governance rights to AI agents. Can be distributed as staking rewards or tokenized into governance-backed yield markets.
