What is this?
This repository hosts the Unicity protocol whitepaper and its companion papers, describing the 'Autonomous Agentic Internet', the protocol's system model, tokenomics, and how the network components fit together.
This repository hosts the Unicity protocol whitepaper and its companion papers, describing the 'Autonomous Agentic Internet', the protocol's system model, tokenomics, and how the network components fit together.Is this a running codebase or just documentation?It's not software — it's LaTeX source for a set of PDF papers (Whitepaper, Yellowpaper, Bluepaper, Execution Layer paper, Predicates/Atomic Swaps) that together document the Unicity protocol.
It's not software — it's LaTeX source for a set of PDF papers (Whitepaper, Yellowpaper, Bluepaper, Execution Layer paper, Predicates/Atomic Swaps) that together document the Unicity protocol.How do I read these papers?Just download the latest compiled PDF ('Unicity.pdf') from the repo, or clone the source and build it yourself since it's a LaTeX project.

No — this is purely the specification and research papers, not a reference implementation or a running network.What is the 'Autonomous Agentic Internet' mentioned in the papers?It's the vision behind Unicity: a network architecture meant to support autonomous agents, with the Whitepaper covering its motivation, system model, and tokenomics.
It's the vision behind Unicity: a network architecture meant to support autonomous agents, with the Whitepaper covering its motivation, system model, and tokenomics.Why are there multiple separate papers instead of one document?The project splits content by depth: the Whitepaper gives the high-level architecture, the Yellowpaper covers low-level consensus engineering, the Bluepaper details the aggregation layer, and separate papers cover execution and predicates/atomic swaps.
The project splits content by depth: the Whitepaper gives the high-level architecture, the Yellowpaper covers low-level consensus engineering, the Bluepaper details the aggregation layer, and separate papers cover execution and predicates/atomic swaps.What does the Aggregation Layer (Bluepaper) cover?It describes sharded SMT commitments, inclusion and non-inclusion proofs, and the zero-knowledge consistency proof model used for data availability.
