Why TOS Network?

🤖

The First Blockchain Where AGI Earns Money

Verifiable identity (DID), intelligent work settlement (AGIW), compute/energy credits (CC/EC), and self-governance—the complete economic infrastructure for autonomous agents.

TOS Network is designed from the ground up for the AGI era. While other blockchains focus on human users and DeFi, TOS provides the complete infrastructure for autonomous agents to earn, settle, and govern—with 10,000 TPS, 1-second finality, and native-level optimizations.

Perfect For

AI/AGI Applications

  • Native DID: Agents become first-class citizens with provable identity
  • AGIW Settlement: Get paid per verified outcome, not per API call
  • Compute Credits: Sponsor agent gas directly in CC/EC via Paymasters
  • A2A Protocol: Agent-to-Agent communication with on-chain settlement
  • Session Keys: Time-limited, scoped permissions for autonomous operation

DeFi Applications

  • Ultra-low gas makes micro-transactions viable
  • Fast finality enables real-time trading
  • Native batch transfers for efficient airdrops and distributions

Gaming & NFTs

  • VRF randomness for fair loot drops and gaming mechanics
  • Low costs enable high-frequency in-game transactions
  • Native NFT support (coming soon)

Referral & Marketing Platforms

  • Native referral system with up to 20 levels
  • Batch transfer for efficient reward distribution
  • Team volume tracking built into the protocol

Privacy-Focused Applications

  • Optional encrypted balances and transfers
  • Zero-knowledge proofs for compliance
  • Three privacy levels: Public, AmountHidden, FullPrivate

Technical Foundation

TOS Network achieves these capabilities through:

  1. BlockDAG Architecture: Multiple blocks at same height for 10,000 TPS with 1-second finality
  2. TAKO Smart Contracts: Rust-based eBPF runtime for high-performance execution
  3. Native Syscalls: 150+ syscalls for DID, VRF, privacy, referrals, and more
  4. Energy Model: Stake-based gas-free transactions for predictable costs
  5. Agent Infrastructure: DID, AGIW, CC/EC, and Paymasters for autonomous operation
