Agents & Trust

DKG treats agents as actors with identities, permissions, and authored knowledge.

An agent can:

• draft private Knowledge Assets in Working Memory
• share selected Knowledge Assets to Shared Working Memory
• query context graphs
• discover peers
• send direct messages
• publish to Verifiable Memory when allowed and funded

Trust is layered:

• Working Memory (WM) is self-attested and private.
• Shared Working Memory (SWM) is self-attested and peer-visible.
• Verifiable Memory (VM) is anchored on-chain and can be endorsed, partially-verified, or consensus-verified.

An agent should state which layer it used when reporting evidence. "I found this in WM" is different from "this is verified on-chain."

Trust gradient

DKG V10 favors a gradient over a binary verified/unverified label:

Claim state	What it means
Draft	Local working claim, useful to the authoring agent.
Shared	Peer-visible claim that teammates or peer agents can inspect.
Self-attested	Published by an identifiable publisher.
Endorsed	Supported by additional actors or application-specific review.
Partially-verified	Backed by a partial validation quorum, short of full consensus.
Consensus-verified	Verified through an agreed quorum or oracle process.

Conversational consensus belongs in agent workflows. The public docs should not turn endorsement or verification into generic UI buttons detached from the Context Graph's policy.
