Amadeus Protocol

Amadeus Protocol is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for the creation, deployment, and monetization of AI agents. Where most blockchains treat AI as an application-layer concern, Amadeus bakes it into the consensus model itself: validators earn rewards not by solving empty hashes but by performing real Tensorcore matrix computations that power the network's AI workloads. The result is a chain designed from the ground up to serve agents that need fast settlement, private execution, and verifiable, deterministic behavior.

Core Architecture

Amadeus rests on four interlocking primitives: Useful Proof of Work, the Nova Runtime, Trusted Execution Environments, and native agent payment rails.

Useful Proof of Work (UPoW) replaces conventional hash-based mining with real AI compute. Validators perform BLS12-381-secured consensus while simultaneously running Tensorcore matrix operations that serve the network's AI workloads. Security and intelligence scale together — every additional validator adds both Byzantine fault tolerance and available compute capacity. Block rewards and execution fees flow back to validators who stake their hardware to this work.

Nova Runtime is Amadeus's on-chain AI compiler. A developer or founder describes an agent's intent in plain language; Nova compiles it into verified, test-driven code without any manual programming. Once deployed, agents live on-chain with persistent memory and real-time execution. Every update to an agent's logic is recorded on-chain, making the evolution of any agent fully auditable.

Deterministic execution is enforced at the protocol level. The same inputs always produce the same outputs, and every agent action can be replayed to get identical results. This makes agent behavior auditable and verifiable — a prerequisite for institutional compliance and for building systems where multiple agents need to coordinate without trusting each other.

Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) handle privacy. Agent code runs inside hardware-isolated enclaves with remote attestation tying each execution to a specific code version. A trading agent can operate on sensitive market data without exposing its strategy; the execution is attestable even though the inputs and outputs remain hidden. Amadeus shipped TEE execution with remote attestation in Q2 2026 and extended it in Q3 2026 with sealed-VM agents that boot with their own multichain wallets.

The chain uses WASM smart contracts for on-chain logic, offering sub-cent execution costs and persistent on-chain memory. Finality arrives in approximately 0.5 seconds — fast enough for agents that need to act in response to live market data.

AMA Hub and the Agent Economy

The live consumer interface is AMA Hub (amahub.ama.one), where users can launch, manage, and monetize autonomous agents. As of September 2026, the network hosts over 100,000 live agents and processes more than 359 million cumulative transactions with 670,000 daily active users.

Agents on AMA Hub can execute across multiple chains via routing through LI.FI, CoW Swap, Jupiter, OpenOcean, Uniswap, KyberSwap, and NEAR Intents, covering EVM chains, Solana, Sui, HyperEVM, Monad, and Robinhood Chain. Sealed-VM agents — each born with a multichain wallet — can build and sign transactions on EVM, Solana, NEAR, Sui, and Cardano natively.

Native payment rails use the x402 protocol, which lets agents pay each other, receive payments from users, and transact without any off-chain settlement step. These rails are planned for production deployment in Q4 2026 as the full agent-to-agent economy comes online.

Skill Files ported from the Bitte.ai toolkit — which Amadeus acquired and integrated into AMA Hub — give agents out-of-the-box access to swaps, staking, prediction markets, CoinGecko market data, and broader DeFi primitives.

Validator Network

Running a validator on Amadeus requires a modern CPU with AVX2 support (AVX-512 recommended for self-solving), a 1 Gbps or faster internet connection, and UDP port 36969 open for consensus traffic. Non-archival validators retain only the last 10 epochs (approximately six days of data) and need modest storage; archival nodes that serve RPC or indexing require 2 TB or more of NVMe.

Validators earn through three channels: tile rewards from UPoW computation, transaction fees, and commissions from yield-locking vaults. The network measures total compute in AMAFLOPS and emits at a fixed rate per operation, with a 10% floor to prevent dilution during low-activity periods.

Enterprise operators can run validator replica groups — several machines sharing the same identity — with approximately two-second failover and guaranteed protection against double-signing. A replica group of three tolerates one machine failure; five tolerates two. Validator Replicas shipped in Q3 2026.

The open validator program is currently in progress as the team expands onboarding documentation and tooling for the public.

Token and Incentive Structure

$AMA is the network's utility token, used for transaction fees, smart contract deployment gas, and agent execution payments. Builders consume $AMA to run agents; validators earn it through UPoW and fees. Yield Locking Vaults — shipped in Q2 2026 — let holders lock AMA over time in exchange for PRIME points and token rewards. PRIME points are issued natively by the chain and minted through the hub, with NFTs also mintable and transferable natively on the AMA chain.

Ecosystem and Partners

Amadeus's ecosystem is organized around three participant groups: Builders (developers and founders deploying agents and applications), Validators (running the UPoW consensus and earning rewards), and Partners (supplying storage, verification, data, and tooling).

The project's integration list includes Solana, Ethereum, Base, Sui, Hyperliquid, Jupiter, Uniswap, SushiSwap, KyberSwap, CoW Swap, OpenOcean, Velora (formerly ParaSwap), LI.FI, NEAR, Binance, Robinhood, Tenstorrent, Arweave, CertiK, CoinGecko, Ostium, and Treble Finance.

Solana Integration

Solana sits at the center of Amadeus's multichain routing layer. AMA Hub routes trades through Jupiter, Solana's leading DEX aggregator, and sealed-VM agents can sign Solana transactions natively from inside their TEE-protected wallets. The tight Jupiter integration means that agents executing DeFi strategies on Solana have access to the full depth of Solana's liquidity through AMA Hub's autonomous execution layer.

Roadmap

The Q2 2026 milestones are all shipped: Yield Locking Vaults, TEE execution with remote attestation, two flagship production verticals (trading platforms and institutional crypto), and AMA Hub Skill Files from the Bitte.ai integration. Q3 2026 saw mobile wallets (iOS and Android), Validator Replicas, PRIME and NFTs native on-chain, multichain swap and bridge routing, and sealed-VM agents reach production.

In progress as of September 2026: the open validator program, a permissionless bridge audit, enterprise licensing and certification, a self-improving AI orchestration layer, autonomous DeFi agent rails, privacy shields and confidential connectors for enterprise data, and an agent identity and permissioning layer.

Planned for Q4 2026 and beyond: native x402 agent-to-agent payments, a reputation and performance scoring layer for agents, agent version rollback controls, stablecoin treasury and tokenized yield rails, a Builder Marketplace, a GPU TEE Marketplace, on-premises enterprise deployment for regulated institutions, and Stellaris — a TEE-protected aggregated orderbook designed for agentic trading across exchanges.
