FractalAI is the first AI-native Layer 1 blockchain built from scratch in Rust. It features post-quantum cryptography (CRYSTALS-Dilithium), Proof of Fractal Work consensus, WASM smart contracts, and 460+ RPC endpoints.

What is the FRAC token?

FRAC is the native utility token of the FractalAI blockchain with a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens. It is used for staking, governance, gas fees, and DeFi. FRAC is purely deflationary with a 61.8% fee burn rate based on the golden ratio.

How does Proof of Fractal Work differ from Proof of Work?

Proof of Fractal Work (PoFW) requires validators to perform fractal analysis instead of hash puzzles. Validators whose fractal dimensions approach the golden ratio (φ = 1.618) receive higher rewards, making it computationally meaningful rather than wasteful.

Is FractalAI quantum-resistant?

Yes. FractalAI uses CRYSTALS-Dilithium for digital signatures and Kyber for encryption, both NIST-approved post-quantum cryptographic algorithms that protect against quantum computing threats.

How can I buy FRAC tokens?

FRAC tokens are available through the presale at fractalai.net.co/presale. You can pay with USDC on Base, USDC on Stellar (lowest fees), or credit/debit card via Circle. The presale has 4 phases starting at $0.25 (Seed) up to $0.80 (Public), with listing target at $1.00.

What is the AURUM protocol?

AURUM is FractalAI's commodity tokenization protocol that enables gold, silver, platinum, and 5 other commodities to be tokenized on-chain with phi-bonding curves that grow at 1.618% per epoch.

How to verify an AI agent identity: Know Your Agent (KYA) and ERC-8004

When AI agents call services, transact and act on behalf of principals, the counterparties they meet face a new question: which agent is this, and can I check its record? "Know Your Agent" (KYA) is the emerging answer — a way to give an agent a verifiable on-chain identity and an accumulating reputation, so services can make trust decisions about software the way they already do about businesses under KYC.

Why agents need verifiable identity

An agent with no identity is anonymous and interchangeable — a service cannot distinguish a well-behaved agent from a malicious clone, cannot attribute past behavior, and cannot hold anyone accountable. As agent-to-agent and agent-to-service commerce grows, that anonymity becomes a liability. KYA gives each agent a durable, cryptographically-bound identifier that a counterparty can verify, so interactions attach to a persistent identity rather than vanishing into an anonymous crowd.

The ERC-8004 trust-layer idea

ERC-8004 proposes an on-chain trust layer for agents: registries that bind an agent identifier to its controlling keys and accumulate attestations and reputation signals. A service meeting an agent can look up its registered identity, confirm it controls the claimed keys, and review the on-chain record before transacting. This turns agent trust into something checkable against a shared, tamper-evident ledger rather than a claim the agent makes about itself, and it composes with payment and authorization flows.

Honest scope

KYA verifies who an agent is and surfaces its on-chain record; it does not guarantee how the agent will behave next. Identity and reputation raise the cost of misbehavior and enable accountability, but a verified agent can still act badly — reputation is evidence, not a warranty. Nor does KYA replace your own authorization policy: knowing the agent identity is the input to a trust decision you still make. The cryptographic binding is resistant to known attacks per NIST, not unbreakable.
