The agent’s code which includes its LLM and decision-making logic runs off-chain within a secure runtime environment. It maintains connectivity with the XRP Ledger (XRPL) via APIs, enabling it to sign transactions and interact with on-ledger functionalities, such as XRPL Hooks for embedded smart contract logic (see: ). This guarantees On-Chain Settlement with Off-Chain Computation. Here's a layered breakdown:
The core of the NimaNode agent lies in the Agent Core Engine, which runs off-chain using dockized AI modules. These containers host pre-trained machine learning models along with custom logic components that dictate the agent’s behavior. Real-time data processing and market monitoring allows this modular setup of flexible combinations of rule-based logic and adaptive AI, depending on the agent's purpose.
These components execute in a sandboxed runtime deployed across globally distributed edge computing nodes, ensuring low latency and high availability. A resource monitoring system manages compute and memory usage, enhancing both performance and security. This off-chain layer connects to the XRPL through APIs and cryptographic keys, allowing the agent to act autonomously while remaining securely isolated from the Ledger itself.
Bringing together the AI & Logic Layer and the On-ledger Interaction Layer, the agent becomes a fully autonomous system capable of intelligent decision-making and seamless blockchain interaction. The off-chain intelligence handles complex reasoning and model execution, while the XRPL-connected layer enables secure, efficient transaction processing.
These foundational layers support the User Interaction Layer, where users engage the platform directly, this includes a no-code interface for creating and customizing agents, an agent marketplace dashboard for earning from AI agents created, and full wallet integration with XRPL-compatible tools like Xumm and GemWallet. This ensures users can manage, interact with, and monetize their agents in a seamless and intuitive environment.
This layer enables the agent to interact directly with the XRP Ledger (XRPL) by processing, signing, and submitting transactions. At its core is the Transaction Processor, which includes an XRPL transaction builder, an automated signing service using the agent's private keys, and a fee optimization engine that ensures cost-efficient operations. This allows the agent to execute actions like trade executions, yield reallocations or smart contract interactions (via ) in response to off-chain logic or real-time events. Execution on XRPL ensures transparent audit trails via ledger records.
