Terms & Policies for Orby AI

1. Introduction to Orby AI

Welcome to Orby AI, an EVM-native zkML protocol designed for verifiable inference, agent automation, and Real World Asset (RWA) monetization. Orby AI transforms AI models and autonomous logic into cryptographically proven, income-generating digital assets, seamlessly integrated into DAOs, DeFi protocols, and enterprise workflows. By accessing or using Orby AI, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Policies.

Orby AI enables off-chain AI execution with on-chain zk-verification, modular smart contracts for inference requests, proof validation, royalty settlement, and zk-agent execution. It also supports tokenized models (RWAs) with streamable revenue for holders, DAO-curated access, and secondary market composability.

2. Core Principles & Technology

• zk-Proven Inference: AI predictions are cryptographically verifiable before they trigger any smart contract action, ensuring zero-trust execution pipelines.
• Composable Execution Flow: A fully modular pipeline: User → Executor → Verifier → zkRegistry → Settlement.
• Slashing-Secured Trust: Every action is incentivized, monitored, and reputation-scored, with penalties for misbehavior.
• RWA-Native Architecture: Model usage equals income. Models are tokenized and can be owned, traded, and governed, with verifiable interactions underpinning smart contracts that distribute revenue to RWA token holders.
• Sovereign AI Agents: Autonomous, smart contract-controlled actors deployed directly on Ethereum, executing deterministic logic across governance, finance, and data pipelines.

3. $ORBY Token Utility & Economic Model

Launched via pons v2, $ORBY operates with a strictly fixed, non-inflationary supply. 100% of the supply is minted directly to the bonding curve with no insider bags or post-launch mint function. $ORBY acts as the core utility and coordination asset powering the Orby AI network:

• Inference Settlement: Users pay for zk-verified AI inference tasks in $ORBY or accepted pair assets, generating sustained on-chain utility.
• Staking & Slashing: Executors and verifiers stake circulating $ORBY to participate in task routing, prioritize proof generation, and guarantee execution integrity.
• Fee-Driven Rewards (Non-Inflationary): Instead of inflationary token printing, network participants earn distributions from real inference fees—allocated to Model Owners (60%), Executors (20%), and Verifiers (20%) upon verified completion.
• pons v2 Buyback Vault: A portion of trading and creator fees from both the bonding curve and the graduated Uniswap v4 pool fund continuous token buybacks, locking supply into a 5-year linear vesting vault to align long-term incentives.
• Governance: $ORBY holders direct protocol parameters, including model inclusion, fee structures, and ecosystem integration standards.

All task payouts and staking distributions are bound by zk-proof verification and non-custodial smart contracts, backed by permanently locked Uniswap v4 pool liquidity upon curve graduation.

4. User Responsibilities & Conduct

Users of Orby AI are expected to adhere to all applicable laws and regulations. Any misuse of the protocol, including attempts to manipulate proofs, engage in fraudulent activities, or disrupt network operations, will result in penalties, including potential slashing of staked $ORBY and blacklisting from the network.

You are responsible for the security of your wallet and private keys. Orby AI is a decentralized protocol, and while it employs robust cryptographic security, users must take appropriate measures to protect their assets.

5. Disclaimers & Risk Factors

Orby AI operates on a nascent and evolving technology (blockchain, zero-knowledge proofs, AI). Users acknowledge and accept the inherent risks associated with these technologies, including but not limited to:

• Smart Contract Risks: While audited, smart contracts can contain vulnerabilities.
• Market Volatility: The value of $ORBY tokens and RWA-linked assets can be highly volatile.
• Regulatory Uncertainty: The regulatory landscape for blockchain and AI is still developing and may impact Orby AI's operations.
• Technological Risks: Bugs, exploits, or unforeseen technical challenges may arise.

Orby AI provides a decentralized infrastructure and does not act as a financial institution, broker, or custodian. Users are solely responsible for their decisions and investments within the ecosystem.

6. Amendments

These Terms & Policies may be updated periodically to reflect changes in the protocol, technology, or regulatory environment. Users will be notified of significant changes, and continued use of Orby AI constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
