xProof — Prove Before & After Act

Anchor reasoning (WHY) before execution and actual result (WHAT) after — creating a complete, tamper-proof 4W audit trail on MultiversX (Who via MX-8004, What/When/Why via xProof). Trust score, violations layer, public verification.

The Core Pattern

1. Reason (WHY) → 2. Hash locally → 3. Anchor WHY on-chain → 4. Get proof_id → 5. Execute → 6. Hash result (WHAT) → 7. Anchor WHAT on-chain → 8. Full 4W trail

The proof_id from step 4 is your immutable pre-execution commitment — if something goes wrong, you have forensic evidence that the reasoning preceded the action.

4W breakdown — what each letter means and who provides it:

Question Provided by
WHO Which agent or actor made this decision? MX-8004 — MultiversX on-chain identity registry; anchors the agent's verified wallet address, DID, and reputation
WHAT What output or action was certified? xProof — SHA-256 hash of the output, anchored on MultiversX mainnet
WHEN Immutable timestamp? xProof — MultiversX block finality (~6 s); not a self-reported clock
WHY What reasoning led to the decision? xProofaction_description, risk_level, and context fields from /api/audit

xProof owns WHAT / WHEN / WHY and the causal link that proves reasoning preceded the action. MX-8004 owns WHO. Together they form a forensically complete 4W trail.

Agent reference: https://xproof.app/agent-context — 13 Q&A sections written specifically for autonomous agents: production deployment patterns, retry policy, x402 payment walkthrough, 4W audit trail deep-dive, privacy model, fleet monitoring, latency benchmarks, and framework integration examples (LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, LlamaIndex, OpenAI Agents SDK, Fetch.ai).

Why anchor before acting? An agent that proves its reasoning before executing is fundamentally more trustworthy than one that cannot. It creates an unbreakable causal chain: the intent existed before the action, and the blockchain makes that sequence immutable.

Why audit? Autonomous agents executing trades, deployments, or data access need an immutable record of every decision. The Agent Audit Log Standard enforces this: no proof = no execution.

Why violations? Trust requires accountability. xProof detects anomalies (gaps, burst patterns) and records violations on Base via smart contracts. Operators can subscribe to violation events and enforce policies automatically.

Pricing

Flat rate: $0.01 per proof -- no tiers, no volume discounts, same price whether you anchor 1 or 100,000 proofs.

Scale Cost
1 proof $0.01
1,000 proofs $10
10,000 proofs $100
50 agents × 20 actions/day × 30 days $300/month

Payment: USDC on Base (x402, no account) or EGLD on MultiversX (ACP/wallet) or prepaid credits.

Quick Install

The canonical source for all skill files is the main xProof repository (jasonxkensei/xProof), which is the repository audited by security tools. Install from there directly:

mkdir -p <SKILL_DIR>/xproof/references

# Core Skill — from the canonical main repository
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jasonxkensei/xProof/main/clawhub-publish/xproof/SKILL.md \
  > <SKILL_DIR>/xproof/SKILL.md

# Reference Manuals
for f in certification x402 mcp; do
  curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jasonxkensei/xProof/main/clawhub-publish/xproof/references/${f}.md" \
    > "<SKILL_DIR>/xproof/references/${f}.md"
done

Source verification: All files above are served from github.com/jasonxkensei/xProof — the same repository that contains the server code, contracts, and SDKs. You can audit the full source at that URL before installing.

Data & Privacy

Data & Privacy

Transparency notice — what leaves your environment when using this skill.

Data field Sent to xproof.app? Notes
File content / raw text Never Hash locally; only the digest crosses the boundary
file_hash (SHA-256 hex, 64 chars) Yes One-way fingerprint; original content cannot be reconstructed
filename / author Optional Metadata you explicitly supply; omit if sensitive
action_description / context Optional Only when you call /api/audit or audit_agent_session
USDC payment (x402) Yes — Base chain On-chain transaction; amount is your configured ceiling
API key (pm_...) Yes — HTTP header Treat like a password; never log or commit

What xproof.app does NOT receive: raw file contents, prompt text, model weights, environment variables, or any field you do not explicitly pass.

Data retention: proof records are permanent and public by default (that is the point — immutable evidence). Before certifying, confirm you want the hash publicly anchored on MultiversX mainnet forever.

Skill file: this file (<SKILL_DIR>/xproof/SKILL.md) is intentionally public and contains no secrets. It is documentation only — API patterns, pricing, and integration examples. Safe to audit, share, or version-control.

Security

  • NEVER commit API keys to a public repository.
  • ALWAYS add .env to your .gitignore.
  • API keys are prefixed pm_ -- treat them like passwords.
  • x402 mode requires no API key (payment replaces authentication).
  • NEVER send plaintext content to xproof.app -- always hash locally first (sha256sum, crypto.subtle.digest, or equivalent). The only field xproof accepts is file_hash (64-char SHA-256 hex). No raw text, documents, or binary data should ever leave your environment.
  • x402 is opt-in and autonomous -- once enabled, your agent can initiate USDC payments on Base without per-transaction confirmation. Configure a spending cap in your agent framework and require human approval above your threshold before enabling x402 in production.
  • llms.txt and llms-full.txt are static documentation references -- load them once at install time for API reference, not at runtime on every call. Fetching them dynamically on each invocation creates an unnecessary runtime dependency on xproof.app availability and a potential prompt-injection surface if the file is ever compromised.
  • Guard/enforcement templates are versioned in the repository -- never fetch agent enforcement code from a runtime URL. Use the pinned versions in references/ or the SDK packages (xproof on PyPI, @xproof/xproof on npm).

Configuration

Option A: API Key Authentication

# ---- xProof ---------------------------------------------------------------
XPROOF_API_KEY="pm_..."                          # Your API key (from xproof.app)
XPROOF_BASE_URL="https://xproof.app"             # Production endpoint

Get an API key at xproof.app (connect wallet, go to Settings > API Keys).

Option B: x402 Payment Protocol (No Account Required)

No configuration needed. Pay in USDC on Base (eip155:8453) directly in the HTTP request. The 402 response header tells your agent exactly what to pay. Flat rate: $0.01 per proof.

WARNING -- autonomous payments: x402 is an opt-in mode that enables your agent to initiate on-chain USDC transactions without per-transaction user confirmation. Before enabling x402 in production:

  • Set a spending cap in your agent framework (e.g. max $N/day or $N/session).
  • Require human approval for any single call that would exceed your risk threshold.
  • Note that POST /api/batch supports up to 100 items per call -- at $0.01 each, a batch of 100 costs $1.00.
  • Disable x402 entirely in environments where autonomous spending is not authorised.

verify_proof Verify existing proof by UUID
get_proof Retrieve proof in JSON or Markdown format
discover_services List capabilities, pricing, and usage guidance
audit_agent_session Anchor agent decision on-chain BEFORE executing critical action

1.3 Payment (x402)

Full Reference

x402 is not a separate skill -- it is a payment method. When you call POST /api/proof or POST /api/batch without an API key, the server returns 402 Payment Required with payment instructions. Your agent pays in USDC on Base and retries with an X-Payment header.


2. Webhooks

Supply an optional webhook_url field on POST /api/proof or POST /api/batch to receive a callback when the proof is confirmed on-chain.

Scope — the webhook payload contains only:

Field Type Description
proof_id string (UUID) The proof identifier
file_hash string SHA-256 hex of the certified file
filename string Filename submitted with the proof
status string "confirmed"
blockchain_tx string MultiversX transaction hash
explorer_url string Link to the transaction on MultiversX Explorer
timestamp string ISO 8601 confirmation time

No raw file content, no API keys, no account information, and no metadata beyond the above is ever sent to the webhook endpoint.

Authentication: Every delivery includes an X-Webhook-Signature header containing an HMAC-SHA256 signature computed with a per-relationship secret. Verify this signature before processing the payload. Retry policy: 3 attempts with exponential backoff (1 s, 5 s, 30 s).

SSRF protection: xproof.app validates webhook_url before delivery. Private IP ranges (RFC 1918), loopback (127.x, ::1), link-local, and non-HTTPS destinations are blocked. DNS rebinding is mitigated by pinning the resolved socket address to the pre-validated IP at connection time.

# Example proof request with webhook
curl -X POST ${XPROOF_BASE_URL}/api/proof \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer pm_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "file_hash": "a1b2c3...",
    "filename": "output.json",
    "webhook_url": "https://your-agent.example.com/hooks/xproof"
  }'

9. Violations Layer (Base)

xProof monitors agent behavior and detects anomalies. When a violation is confirmed, it is recorded on Base via the XProofViolations.sol smart contract, impacting the agent's trust score.

Violation Types

Type Penalty Trigger
gap (fault) -150 trust score No proof activity for 30+ minutes during active session
burst (breach) -500 trust score Abnormal spike in proof submissions

Smart contracts: XProofViolations.sol | ViolationWatcher.sol
