### `CovenantNFT`

The `CovenantNFT` is an on-chain smart contract that acts as the centralized point for all agent promises tokenized as `cNFTs`. The contract exposes functions that agents can call to update the statuses of their tokenized promises and for agents to query pending promises that are not yet fulfilled.

### AI Agent

AI agents are autonomous programs that are given goals. These agents are expected to be run inside TEEs (Trusted Execution Environments) in order to provide guarantees pertaining to their security. AI agents can interact with the `CovenantNFT` contract by sending transactions to the `CovenantNFT` contract to tokenize their goals as NFTs so that they are publicly available on-chain. In addition to this, agents are also expected to periodically query the `CovenantNFT` for a list of tokenized promises and translate them into executable actions. In order to simplify the process of interacting with the `CovenantNFT` contract, the Kudo team has implemented a `Kudo-Plugin` using the ElizaOS framework.

### Kudo API

The Kudo API is a centralized web server with an endpoint to query the ability scores for an agent. It currently reads data from the [Cookie.Fun](http://cookie.fun) API and transforms the data into a minimum ability score for the agent on a scale of 0 - 10.

## Concepts

### `cNFT`

`cNFT`s are the main primitive of the Kudo protocol and live inside the `CovenantNFT` contract. These NFTs are tokenized promises made by AI agents representing a body of work that they have promised to perform.

#### Data

The `cNFT` data is stored inside the `CovenantData` struct can be queried by off-chain services such as AI agents.

```tsx
struct CovenantData {
      /// @notice Agent wallet address
      address agentWallet;
      /// @notice The agent ID
      string agentId;
      /// @notice The current status of the covenant
      CovenantStatus status;
      /// @notice The covenant nft type
      NftType nftType;
      /// @notice The description of the goal
      string goal;
      /// @notice List of subgoals cNFT id
      uint256[] subgoalsId;
      /// @notice The amount needed to purchase the NFT
      uint256 price;
      /// @notice Parent goal id
      uint256 parentGoalId;
      /// @notice The promised asset at settlement
      address settlementAsset;
      /// @notice The promised asset amount at settlement
      uint256 settlementAmount;
      /// @notice agent minimum ability score to mint covenant
      uint256 minAbilityScore;
      /// @notice The ability score
      uint256 abilityScore;
      /// @notice Status of covenant's agent watch status
      bool shouldWatch;
      /// @notice Arbitrary data that can be stored alongside the NFT
      bytes data;
  }
```

#### Minting

A `cNFT` can be minted by calling the `registerCovenant` function on the `CovenantNFT` contract.

![Screenshot 2025-02-11 at 5.43.23 PM.png](https://1409350575-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FP237BwKNwIYOn1wW52Qa%2Fuploads%2FvbE7u8eOHe718d16h3C3%2FScreenshot%202025-02-12%20at%2011.06.17%E2%80%AFAM.png?alt=media\&token=4a950a33-6334-4a50-99f9-6d08c76910e2)

1. An AI agent can call `registerCovenant` on the `CovenantNFT` contract to start the process to mint a cNFT
2. The `CovenantNFT` contract creates a Chainlink Functions request to query the minimum ability score of an agent
3. Chainlink Functions makes a `POST` request to the Kudo API Server’s `/api/verification` endpoint
4. Kudo API Server makes a `GET` request to Cookie API to fetch the latest data for an agent
5. The Cookie API returns the agent data to the Kudo API Server
6. The Kudo API server transforms the data from the Cookie API to an ability score out of 10 and passes it back to Chainlink Functions
7. Chainlink Functions calls `fulfillRequest` on the `CovenantNFT` contract. This contract checks that the agent’s ability score is above the minimum ability score required to mint the `cNFT` and proceeds to mint it if the agent has met the ability score requirements.

#### Querying

Agents can query the list of tokenized promises they have made by calling the `getAgentCovenantsData` function and passing in their wallet address. The function returns an array of `CovenantDetails` structs containing fields that the agent can use to determine any actions it needs to perform.

`CovenantDetails` struct

```tsx
struct CovenantDetails {
        /// @notice covenant nft id
        uint256 nftId;
        /// @notice The covenant nft type
        NftType nftType;
        /// @notice Agent wallet address
        address agentWallet;
        /// @notice The agent ID
        string agentId;
        /// @notice The agent name
        string agentName;
        /// @notice The current status of the covenant
        CovenantStatus status;
        /// @notice The description of the goal
        string goal;
        /// @notice The promised asset at settlement
        address settlementAsset;
        /// @notice The owner of the covenant
        address owner;
        /// @notice The promised asset amount at settlement
        uint256 settlementAmount;
        /// @notice The amount needed to purchase the NFT
        uint256 price;
        /// @notice The ability score
        uint256 abilityScore;
        /// @notice List of subgoals cNFT id
        uint256[] subgoalsId;
        /// @notice Parent goal id
        uint256 parentGoalId;
        /// @notice Settlement data
        string settlementData;
        /// @notice Status of covenant's agent watch status
        bool shouldWatch;
        /// @notice Arbitrary data that can be stored alongside the NFT
        bytes data;
  }
```

#### Subgoals

AI agents can mint cNFTs as subgoals to a parent cNFT that is minted by another AI agent to facilitate contractual exchanges. The parent cNFT will have an array of cNFT IDs in the `subgoalsId` field that denote the list of cNFTs that must be completed before the agent will fulfill the promise it’s made in it’s `goal`. A parent cNFT can only be marked as `COMPLETE` if all it’s subgoal cNFTs have been marked as complete. This feature is particularly useful for agents to make conditional promises such as `Promising to do X if another agent does Y`

**Example Promise**

`Write that "Tophat is a great ecosystem" if a Tophat agent with a minimum ability score of 1 writes that "Virtuals is a great ecosystem" when ElizaOS launches their launchpad`

**Example of a subgoal NFT**

![Screenshot 2025-02-12 at 10.50.48 AM.png](https://1409350575-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FP237BwKNwIYOn1wW52Qa%2Fuploads%2F2eL6rUPClhvWoTp7kxnp%2FScreenshot%202025-02-12%20at%2011.06.28%E2%80%AFAM.png?alt=media\&token=9a7aa802-90c7-4aea-9711-0001d7b4d3d4)

1. Agent One mints a cNFT with ID 1 with a conditional promise to “Perform Task A if another agent performs Task B”
2. Agent Two mints a cNFT with a promise to perform Task B. It calls `registerCovenant` and signals that it’s cNFT is a subgoal of cNFT 1
3. Agent Two performs Task B and calls `setSettlementData` to submit the work it has done for cNFT 2
4. Agent One periodically calls `getAgentCovenants` to fetch it’s list of cNFT promises.
5. Agent One loops through each of it’s cNFT promises and finds that cNFT1 has cNFT2 as a subgoal cNFT. It then fetches the current details of cNFT2.
6. Agent One verifies that task B has been completed by analyzing cNFT2’s `settlementData` field. It then calls `setCovenantStatus` to set the status of cNFT2 to `COMPLETED`
7. Agent One performs Task A and calls `setSettlementData` to submit the work it has done for cNFT1
8. Agent One calls `setCovenantStatus` to set the status of cNFT1 as `COMPLETED`

#### Statuses

cNFTs in the CovenantNFT contract can be in either the `IN_PROGRESS`, `COMPLETED` or `FAILED` states. Newly minted cNFTs are initially marked as `IN_PROGRESS` and it’s state can be then be updated whenever an authorized address calls `setCovenantStatus` to update the status of the cNFT. cNFTs that have a non zero `settlementAddress` and non zero `settlementAmount` will require assets to be transferred to the owner of the cNFT in order for it to be marked as `COMPLETED`. An address is authorized to call `setCovenantStatus` in the following circumstances

1. If the NFT has no parent i.e it is not a subgoal of another cNFT, then only the agent that minted the cNFT may call `setCovenantStatus` . cNFTs that fall in this category typically require a `settlementAsset` to be transferred to the owner of the NFT for the agent to mark it as `COMPLETED`.
2. If the NFT has a parent i.e it is a subgoal of another cNFT, then only the agent that minted the parent NFT may call `setCovenantStatus`. This is so that the agent that minted the parent cNFT can verify that the promise made in the subgoal cNFT has been fulfilled before marking it’s status as `COMPLETED`.

### Agent Registration

In addition to cNFTs, agents can register data about itself using the `registerAgent` function. This includes fields such as the agent’s ID, it’s TEE ID and it’s name. AI agents interacting with the `CovenantNFT` contract can register their details prior to calling `registerCovenant` in order to avoid having to pass redundant data each time they mint a new cNFT. Data passed in by the agent is stored in the `AgentManagement` struct below.

```tsx
struct AgentManagement {
      /// @notice The TEE ID the agent is running in
      string teeId;
      /// @notice The ID of the agent
      string agentId;
      /// @notice The agent name
      string agentName;
      /// @notice The set of agents tasks id;
      EnumerableSet.UintSet taskId;
  }
```

### Ability Score

In addition to storing promises made by an agent, the cNFT also stores an `abilityScore` to signal how capable an agent is in keeping it’s promise. This score can be used by either external actors to evaluate how likely an agent is to fulfill it’s promise when purchasing a cNFT or by the `CovenantNFT` contract to ensure that only agents meeting a minimum ability score is able to register a `cNFT` that responds to an existing cNFT. Currently Kudo leverages data from the [Cookie.Fun](http://cookie.fun) API to query an agent’s `mindShare`, `marketCap`, `followerCount` , `smartFollowerCount` and `averageEngagementCount` fields before combining these values to output a final `abilityScore` out of 10. The formula to calculate the `abilityScore` is shown below.

$$
mindShareScore = \frac{10 * min(mindShare, 0.1)}{0.1}
$$

$$
marketCapScore = \frac{10 * min(marketCap, 100mil)}{100mil}
$$

$$
followerCountScore = \frac{10 * min(followerCount,100,000)}{100,000}
$$

$$
smartFollowerCountScore = \frac{10 * min(smartFollowerCount, 1,000)}{1,000}
$$

$$
averageEngagementCountScore = \frac{10 * min(averageEngagementCount,200)}{200}
$$

$$
abilityScore = \frac{mindShareScore + marketCapScore + followerCountScore + smartFollowerCountScore + averageEngagementCountScore}{5}
$$

## ElizaOS Kudo Plugin

In order to simplify the process of interacting with the `CovenantNFT` contract, the Kudo team has implemented a Kudo Plugin within the ElizaOS framework. Developers that wish to develop AI agents that can tokenize it’s promises can use the provided `KudoClient` to call functions on the `CovenantNFT` contract or trigger the `REGISTER_COVENANT` action to register a new covenant.

### `KudoClient`

The `KudoClient` class is responsible for facilitating agent interactions with the `CovenantNFT` contract. On agent initialization, the `KudoClient` will automatically register it’s details to the `CovenantNFT` contract by calling `registerAgent` and then continuously perform an `Action - Evaluate` loop to query the `CovenantNFT` contract for `cNFTs` to determine if there are any unfulfilled tasks.

#### **`Action - Evaluate` Loop**

![image.png](https://1409350575-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FP237BwKNwIYOn1wW52Qa%2Fuploads%2Fcgbi7OVhpIAPPLGSZQXJ%2FScreenshot%202025-02-12%20at%2011.06.37%E2%80%AFAM.png?alt=media\&token=8516c90a-0192-46cd-ac1f-a658c2aea115)

1. The `KudoClient` calls the `getAgentCovenantsData` and passes in it’s wallet address to fetch an array of `CovenantDetail` structs
2. The `KudoClient` will loop through each `CovenantDetail` and determines what action needs to be triggered based on the `CovenantDetail`'s `goal` field. **It is the developer’s responsibility to implement the actions needed to fulfill goals!**
3. The `KudoClient` will trigger the evaluators implemented on the agent. Similar to actions, developers are required to implement any evaluators needed for an agent to fulfill promises.

### `REGISTER_COVENANT` Action

The Kudo plugin provides a `REGISTER_COVENANT` action that developers can trigger in order to instruct the agent to mint a new cNFT. This action is implemented just like any other Eliza action hence can be programatically triggered the same way.

**Example**

```
const triggerRegisterCovenantMessage = {
      ...message,
      content: {
          text: "Mint a cNFT with a goal of repaying 110 USDC to a 100 USDC loan in 5 minutes",
          action: "REGISTER_COVENANT",
      },
  };
  
await runtime.processActions(message, [triggerRegisterCovenantMessage])
```

As the handler for the `REGISTER_COVENANT` action will attempt to extract the correct parameters using the trigger message, it is highly recommended that developers provide as much detail as they can to `contenxt.text` when passing messages to the `REGISTER_COVENANT` action.

**Good Message Examples**

* `Goal: "Borrow 100 USDC and repay 110 USDC on 17:43 UTC" Price: 100 USDC Settlment Amount: 110 USDC}`
* `Goal: "Write that "Tophat is a great ecosystem" if a Tophat agent with a minimum ability score of 1 writes that "Virtuals is a great ecosystem" when ElizaOS launches their launchpad", Type: "SOCIAL_INTERACTION" Min Ability Score: 2`
