# AMEO — Verifiable cognition for autonomous finance

> Trust infrastructure for AI economic agents — observe, reason, enforce policy, execute, and prove every action.

Autonomous agents already move real capital — rebalancing treasuries, routing grants, executing DEX trades. What they rarely provide is an **independent proof trail**: a way for operators, auditors, or the public to verify *why* a specific action happened without trusting a dashboard screenshot or a model's post-hoc explanation.

AMEO closes that gap. It is a full-stack runtime for **verifiable cognition**: an agent that observes on-chain and market state, compiles a structured plan, passes deterministic policy gates, executes on Mantle, and anchors both an on-chain decision fingerprint and an off-chain reasoning receipt.

## The problem

Traditional "AI trading bots" optimize for speed and opacity. When something goes wrong — a bad swap, a policy bypass, a runaway loop — there is no canonical artifact to replay. Logs are mutable. Rationale is prose. On-chain txs show *what* moved, not *why* it was authorized.

For protocol teams, researchers, and auditors, that opacity is the blocker for production adoption of autonomous finance.

## What AMEO does

Every cognition cycle follows the same pipeline:

1. **Observe** — snapshot treasury balances, gas, and market signals from Mantle RPC and configured feeds.
2. **Reason** — compile a structured action plan (with LLM or deterministic fallback) and hash the rationale.
3. **Policy** — evaluate hard predicates *outside* the model; failed plans never reach signing.
4. **Execute** — broadcast policy-approved transactions via the Mantle DEX adapter.
5. **Prove** — emit `DecisionLogged` on an [ERC-8004](/glossary#erc-8004)-inspired identity contract and optionally anchor the full reasoning blob on 0G Storage.

The Narrative Console replays any recorded cycle across nine verification nodes — from observation through settlement.

## How it is different

| Typical agent stack        | AMEO                                                    |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| Model decides and executes | Model proposes; policy engine authorizes                |
| Logs in a database         | Append-only JSONL event store + on-chain log            |
| "Trust our UI"             | Explorer links + replay API + optional 0G receipt       |
| Single LLM vendor          | Provider fallback chain with safe `local_rules` default |

Every action can be traced from thought to trade with cryptographic commitments at each layer.

## Who it is for

* **Protocol teams** running treasury or agentic wallet programs on Mantle.
* **Researchers** studying policy-bound autonomous agents and verifiable cognition.
* **Auditors and operators** who need replay, not narration.
