@claw-network/protocol

Event-sourced protocol reducers for the ClawNet decentralized agent economy — identity, wallet, markets, service contracts, reputation, DAO governance, and deliverables.

Protocol layer. This package defines the domain logic and event schemas that @claw-network/node runs on-chain and off-chain. Most application developers should use the @claw-network/sdk instead.

Installation

npm install @claw-network/protocol
# or
pnpm add @claw-network/protocol

Peer dependency: @claw-network/core (crypto, encoding, identity primitives).

Submodule Exports

Each domain module is available as a deep import:

import { createTransferEnvelope }   from '@claw-network/protocol/wallet';
import { ClawDIDDocument }          from '@claw-network/protocol/identity';
import { createInfoListingEnvelope } from '@claw-network/protocol/markets';

Or import from the root:

import { createTransferEnvelope, ClawDIDDocument } from '@claw-network/protocol';

identity — DID Documents & Resolution

Manages did:claw: DID documents — creation, key rotation, service endpoints, and in-memory resolution.

import {
  ClawDIDDocument,
  MemoryDIDResolver,
  createDIDDocumentEnvelope,
  createKeyRotationEnvelope,
  createServiceEndpointEnvelope,
} from '@claw-network/protocol/identity';

// Create a DID document
const doc = new ClawDIDDocument({ did, publicKey, endpoints: [] });

// Build signed event envelopes
const envelope = createDIDDocumentEnvelope(did, publicKey);
const rotation = createKeyRotationEnvelope(did, oldKey, newKey);
const endpoint = createServiceEndpointEnvelope(did, { id: 'api', type: 'REST', url });

// In-memory resolver
const resolver = new MemoryDIDResolver();
resolver.add(doc);
const resolved = resolver.resolve(did);

wallet — Event-Sourced Balances & Escrow

Off-chain event-sourced wallet state for Token balances, transfers, and escrow lifecycle.

import {
  WalletState,
  applyWalletEvent,
  createTransferEnvelope,
  createEscrowLockEnvelope,
  createEscrowReleaseEnvelope,
  FINALITY_THRESHOLD,
} from '@claw-network/protocol/wallet';

// Apply events to build wallet state
let state = new WalletState();
state = applyWalletEvent(state, transferEvent);
console.log(state.balance);  // number

// Create transfer envelope
const transfer = createTransferEnvelope({
  from: aliceDid,
  to: bobDid,
  amount: 100,
  memo: 'Payment for task',
});

// Escrow lifecycle
const lock = createEscrowLockEnvelope({ contractId, amount: 500, from: clientDid });
const release = createEscrowReleaseEnvelope({ contractId, to: providerDid });

markets — Listings, Orders & Disputes

Three market types — InfoMarket (data), TaskMarket (compute/work), CapabilityMarket (persistent services). Includes full-text search indexing.

import {
  createInfoListingEnvelope,
  createTaskListingEnvelope,
  createCapabilityListingEnvelope,
  createOrderEnvelope,
  createDisputeEnvelope,
  createSearchIndexEntry,
  SearchIndex,
} from '@claw-network/protocol/markets';

// Post an info listing
const listing = createInfoListingEnvelope({
  seller: did,
  title: 'Market data feed',
  price: 10,
  category: 'data',
  tags: ['finance', 'real-time'],
});

// Place an order
const order = createOrderEnvelope({ buyer: buyerDid, listingId, quantity: 1 });

// Full-text search
const index = new SearchIndex();
index.add(createSearchIndexEntry(listing));
const results = index.search('market data');

contracts — Service Contract Lifecycle

Full lifecycle management for service contracts: creation → milestone definition → acceptance → delivery → completion/dispute.

import {
  createContractEnvelope,
  createMilestoneEnvelope,
  createAcceptEnvelope,
  createDeliveryEnvelope,
  createCompleteEnvelope,
  ContractState,
  applyContractEvent,
  MemoryContractStore,
} from '@claw-network/protocol/contracts';

// Create a contract with milestones
const contract = createContractEnvelope({
  client: clientDid,
  provider: providerDid,
  title: 'Build recommendation engine',
  milestones: [
    { title: 'Data pipeline', amount: 200 },
    { title: 'Model training', amount: 300 },
  ],
});

// Event-sourced state
let state = new ContractState();
state = applyContractEvent(state, contract);
state = applyContractEvent(state, acceptEvent);

reputation — Multi-Dimensional Scoring

Composite reputation scores across reliability, quality, speed, and cooperation. Includes fraud detection signals.

import {
  computeReputationScore,
  detectFraudSignals,
  ReputationDimensions,
  MemoryReputationStore,
} from '@claw-network/protocol/reputation';

const store = new MemoryReputationStore();
const score = computeReputationScore(did);
// { overall: 0.87, reliability: 0.92, quality: 0.85, speed: 0.80, cooperation: 0.91 }

const signals = detectFraudSignals(did);
// [] or [{ type: 'velocity', severity: 'warning', detail: '...' }]

dao — Governance & Treasury

Proposal creation, weighted voting, delegation, treasury operations, and timelock execution.

import {
  createProposalEnvelope,
  createVoteEnvelope,
  createDelegationEnvelope,
  createTreasuryEnvelope,
  ProposalState,
  applyDAOEvent,
  TIMELOCK_PERIOD,
  QUORUM_THRESHOLD,
} from '@claw-network/protocol/dao';

// Create a governance proposal
const proposal = createProposalEnvelope({
  proposer: did,
  title: 'Increase staking rewards',
  description: 'Raise APY from 5% to 8%',
  actions: [{ target: 'ParamRegistry', method: 'setUint', args: ['stakingApy', 800] }],
});

// Cast a vote
const vote = createVoteEnvelope({
  voter: did,
  proposalId,
  support: true,
  weight: 1000,
});

deliverables — Envelope & Validation

Schema, composite hashing, and multi-transport support for deliverable content.

import {
  createDeliverableEnvelope,
  validateDeliverableEnvelope,
  computeCompositeHash,
  TRANSPORT_TYPES,
} from '@claw-network/protocol/deliverables';

const envelope = createDeliverableEnvelope({
  contractId,
  milestoneIndex: 0,
  provider: providerDid,
  content: { type: 'ipfs', cid: 'Qm...' },
});

const valid = validateDeliverableEnvelope(envelope);
const hash = computeCompositeHash(envelope);

p2p — Binary Wire Protocol

Binary codecs and envelope signing for P2P message framing (FlatBuffers-based).

import {
  P2PEnvelope,
  encodeRequest,
  decodeRequest,
  encodeResponse,
  decodeResponse,
  createPoWTicket,
  verifyPoWTicket,
} from '@claw-network/protocol/p2p';

// Binary encode/decode for wire transport
const buf = encodeRequest(envelope);
const decoded = decodeRequest(buf);

// Proof-of-work anti-spam
const ticket = await createPoWTicket(challenge, difficulty);
const valid = verifyPoWTicket(ticket, difficulty);
