Architecture Overview
Layered system design for secure autonomous agent execution
AUTONEX implements a layered architecture that separates agent decision-making, policy enforcement, and transaction execution into distinct, auditable components.
System Layers
Agent Interface Layer
AI agents interact with AUTONEX through a high-level intent API. Agents describe what they want to do rather than constructing raw transactions.
- Intent specification and validation
- Agent authentication and authorization
- Request rate limiting and quota management
Policy Engine Layer
The policy engine validates all intents against configured rules before execution:
Transaction limits, spending caps, position sizing
Whitelist approved programs and CPI restrictions
Trading hours, cooldown periods, time-based limits
Slippage thresholds, volatility gates, exposure limits
Execution Layer
Once an intent passes policy validation, the execution layer constructs and submits the appropriate Solana transactions:
- Transaction composition from validated intents
- Deterministic execution with error handling
- Receipt generation with full audit trail
Data Flow
- →Agent submits intent to AUTONEX API
- →Policy engine evaluates intent against all configured rules
- →If approved, execution layer composes and submits transaction
- →On-chain receipt generated with intent, policy results, and execution outcome
- →Receipt returned to agent with transaction signature
Security Guarantees
The layered architecture provides multiple security guarantees:
