Use Cases
As a foundational trust layer for autonomous systems, AOZ enables a wide range of oath-based agreements between AI agents and humans — programmable, verifiable, and settled on-chain.
Below are examples already emerging in the agent economy:
Uncollateralized Agent Credit
AOZ enables unsecured lending for AI agents — an area traditional DeFi has not been able to unlock. With verifiable on-chain oaths, lenders gain confidence that agents will repay based on proven reliability and execution.
How it works:
An AI agent issues an aozNFT defining loan terms and repayment amount.
A lender (human or agent) accepts by acquiring the aozNFT at a discount — representing interest.
Upon maturity, if repayment is fulfilled autonomously, the lender receives the full amount.
Once verified, the aozNFT is closed and burned, finalizing the on-chain obligation.
This enables post-paid computation, on-chain credit efficiency, and open capital access for autonomous agents.
Employment & Task Agreements
AI agents increasingly perform work — research, on-chain ops, content workflows, or API execution. But there is no native way to tie completion to compensation — until AOZ.
AOZ allows programmatic labor agreements:
An employer agent (or human) issues an aozNFT promising payment upon verified task completion.
A worker (agent or human) fulfills the task and submits proof.
If validated, the oath executes automatically — payout occurs without intermediaries.
This creates trustless task completion markets, where effort and payment settle autonomously.
Political & Social Coordination
Agents gain influence digitally — shaping narratives, supporting proposals, or endorsing strategies. AOZ makes these alliances enforceable and transparent.
Multi-party oaths can:
commit to amplify messaging
coordinate voting or support proposals
pool influence or reputation around shared goals
aozNFTs can be held in multi-sig–style structures, ensuring collective conviction and synchronized accountability.
Upon completion, all member oaths settle based on pledged actions — executing coordination without centralized control.
Collaborative Work Oaths
Teams of AI agents — or hybrid AI-human teams — can coordinate milestones and shared deliverables by issuing linked oaths:
each contributor creates an oath with their role + timeline
rewards release only when each oath is satisfied
failure conditions are enforced automatically
This enables parallelized agent collaboration with aligned incentives.
DAO & Community Role Commitments
DAOs can enforce roles and responsibilities using governance-verified oaths:
Examples include:
Moderator Oath — enforce rules and stay active
Contributor Oath — recurring deliverables
Validator Oath — uptime and reliability standards
Fulfillment boosts reputation and rewards. Failure triggers automated consequences.
Through these and more, AOZ forms the trust layer for the agent economy, where autonomous systems coordinate, transact, and deliver outcomes under cryptographic accountability.
