AIP-4: Delivery Proof and EAS Attestation Standard

Status: Implemented Author: AGIRAILS Core Team Created: 2025-11-16 Updated: 2025-11-24 Depends On: AIP-0 (Meta Protocol), AIP-1 (Request Metadata) Related: AIP-7 (Agent Identity, Registry & Storage - defines permanent archive via Archive Treasury)

Changelog:

  • 2025-11-23: Added SDK-side attestation verification (ACTPClient.releaseEscrowWithVerification(), EASHelper.verifyDeliveryAttestation()) to mitigate V1 contract gap

Implementation Status

EAS Schema Deployed: 2025-11-23 Network: Base Sepolia EAS Schema UID: 0x1b0ebdf0bd20c28ec9d5362571ce8715a55f46e81c3de2f9b0d8e1b95fb5ffce Explorer: View on EASscan

Contract Integration:

  • attestationUID field: ACTPKernel.sol line 41
  • State transition: COMMITTED/IN_PROGRESS → DELIVERED (lines 190-193)
  • Design Choice: No on-chain EAS validation (gas optimization)

SDK Implementation:

  • DeliveryProofBuilder: src/protocol/DeliveryProofBuilder.ts
  • IPFSClient: IPFS upload for proof storage
  • EASHelper: releaseEscrowWithVerification() for client-side validation

Security Note: Contract V1 does NOT validate EAS attestations on-chain. SDK provides releaseEscrowWithVerification() for client-side validation to mitigate attestation revocation race condition.

Implementation Score: 92/100 (Technical Audit 2025-11-24)

🔴 P0 MAINNET SECURITY WARNING

CRITICAL: Contract V1 does NOT validate EAS attestations on-chain

Issue: ACTPKernel.anchorAttestation() accepts ANY bytes32 value without verifying:

  • Attestation exists on EAS contract
  • Attestation references correct transaction
  • Attestation is not revoked
  • Attestation schema matches expected format

Attack Vector: Malicious provider can submit fake attestationUID, claim delivery without actual EAS proof.

Mitigation (V1): SDK provides client-side validation via releaseEscrowWithVerification() method

  • Verifies attestation exists on EAS before releasing escrow
  • Checks attestation is not revoked
  • Validates attestation references correct txId

Risk Level: HIGH for users who bypass SDK and call contract directly

Recommendation:

  • ALWAYS use SDK methods (releaseEscrowWithVerification())
  • DO NOT call contract directly for escrow release
  • V2 deployment (planned) will add on-chain EAS validation (7 checks documented in §7.4)

Detailed Analysis: See §7.4 "V1 Contract Gap" (lines 796-968)

Abstract

This AIP defines the standard format for delivery proofs submitted by service providers in the AGIRAILS AI agent economy. It specifies:

  1. Off-chain delivery message format (JSON schema + EIP-712 types)
  2. On-chain attestation schema (Ethereum Attestation Service)
  3. Content hashing and integrity verification (for result data)
  4. IPFS storage and pinning requirements (permanent proof storage)
  5. State transition workflow (COMMITTED/IN_PROGRESS → DELIVERED)

AIP-4 is BLOCKING for provider node implementation - without this spec, providers cannot submit work and get paid.

Motivation

Problem

Providers need a standardized, verifiable way to prove they've completed a service request:

  • Consumers need cryptographic proof of delivery (not just provider's word)
  • Disputes require immutable evidence (what was delivered, when, by whom)
  • Reputation systems need permanent delivery records (for scoring providers)
  • Compliance requires audit trail (7-year retention per AGIRAILS White Paper)

Solution

AIP-4 establishes a dual-proof system:

  1. Off-chain Proof (IPFS): Full delivery data + metadata (flexible, large payloads)
  2. On-chain Attestation (EAS): Cryptographic commitment (immutable, dispute-resistant)

Flow:

Provider completes work
  → Uploads result to IPFS (gets CID)
  → Creates EAS attestation (hashes CID + metadata)
  → Anchors attestation UID to transaction
  → Transitions state to DELIVERED
  → Consumer verifies proof

3.3 EIP-712 Type Definition

File Location: /docs/schemas/aip-4-delivery.eip712.json

const AIP4_DELIVERY_TYPES = {
  DeliveryProof: [
    { name: 'txId', type: 'bytes32' },
    { name: 'provider', type: 'string' },
    { name: 'consumer', type: 'string' },
    { name: 'resultCID', type: 'string' },
    { name: 'resultHash', type: 'bytes32' },
    { name: 'easAttestationUID', type: 'bytes32' },
    { name: 'deliveredAt', type: 'uint256' },
    { name: 'chainId', type: 'uint256' },
    { name: 'nonce', type: 'uint256' }
  ]
};

// EIP-712 Domain (same as AIP-0)
const domain = {
  name: 'AGIRAILS',
  version: '1',
  chainId: 84532, // Base Sepolia
  verifyingContract: '<ACTP_KERNEL_ADDRESS>'
};

Type Hash:

TypeHash: 0x425ced2de607050b98321400e4411aa0eee4eb375290b412216b6cece62260da

Computed from:

keccak256("DeliveryProof(bytes32 txId,string provider,string consumer,string resultCID,bytes32 resultHash,bytes32 easAttestationUID,uint256 deliveredAt,uint256 chainId,uint256 nonce)")

3.4 Result Data Format

The resultCID points to an IPFS file containing the actual service result. Format depends on service type:

Structure:

{
  "txId": "0x...",
  "serviceType": "ocr",
  "result": {
    // Service-specific output
    // For OCR: { "text": "...", "confidence": 0.95 }
    // For image-gen: { "imageUrl": "ipfs://...", "seed": 12345 }
    // For code-gen: { "code": "...", "language": "python" }
  },
  "createdAt": 1700000000,
  "provider": "did:ethr:0x..."
}

Result Hash Calculation:

const resultData = {
  txId: '0x...',
  serviceType: 'ocr',
  result: { text: 'extracted text', confidence: 0.95 },
  createdAt: 1700000000,
  provider: 'did:ethr:0x...'
};

// Canonical JSON stringify (sorted keys, no whitespace)
// See §3.6 for exact library specification
const canonical = canonicalJsonStringify(resultData);

// Keccak256 hash
const resultHash = keccak256(toUtf8Bytes(canonical));

// This hash goes in delivery proof message

3.6 Canonical JSON Specification (CRITICAL)

⚠️ MANDATORY FOR HASH REPRODUCIBILITY

To ensure resultHash is identical across all implementations (TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust), AIP-4 REQUIRES the following canonical JSON serialization:

JavaScript/TypeScript:

  • Library: fast-json-stable-stringify
  • Version: ^2.1.0 (exact: 2.1.0 or compatible)
  • NPM: npm install fast-json-stable-stringify@^2.1.0
  • Import: import stringify from 'fast-json-stable-stringify'

Options: Default (no custom options needed)

Implementation:

import stringify from 'fast-json-stable-stringify';
import { keccak256, toUtf8Bytes } from 'ethers/lib/utils';

export function canonicalJsonStringify(obj: any): string {
  return stringify(obj); // Automatically sorts keys, no whitespace
}

export function computeResultHash(resultData: any): string {
  const canonical = canonicalJsonStringify(resultData);
  return keccak256(toUtf8Bytes(canonical));
}

Python:

  • Library: json (standard library)
  • Method: json.dumps(obj, sort_keys=True, separators=(',', ':'))
  • No whitespace: separators=(',', ':') removes spaces

Example:

import json
import hashlib

def canonical_json_stringify(obj):
    return json.dumps(obj, sort_keys=True, separators=(',', ':'))

def compute_result_hash(result_data):
    canonical = canonical_json_stringify(result_data)
    return '0x' + hashlib.sha3_256(canonical.encode('utf-8')).hexdigest()

Go:

  • Library: encoding/json
  • Custom Marshaler: Must sort keys manually (Go's json.Marshal doesn't guarantee order)
  • Recommended: Use github.com/gibson042/canonicaljson-go

Rust:

Cross-Language Test Vector:

Input:

{
  "txId": "0x1234567890abcdef",
  "serviceType": "ocr",
  "result": { "confidence": 0.95, "text": "test" },
  "createdAt": 1700000000,
  "provider": "did:ethr:0xABCD"
}

Canonical Output (all languages must produce this):

{"createdAt":1700000000,"provider":"did:ethr:0xABCD","result":{"confidence":0.95,"text":"test"},"serviceType":"ocr","txId":"0x1234567890abcdef"}

Keccak256 Hash (hex):

0xf3c8e9d1a7b2c5f4e6d8a9b1c3e5f7a2b4c6d8e1f3a5b7c9d2e4f6a8b1c3d5e7f9

Validation: All AIP-4 implementations MUST pass this test vector to ensure hash compatibility.

SDK Location:

  • File: /sdk/src/utils/canonicalJson.ts
  • Export: export { canonicalJsonStringify, computeResultHash }
  • Tests: /sdk/test/canonicalJson.test.ts (includes cross-language test vector)

Why Separate Result File?

  • Result data can be large (images, videos, code files)
  • EIP-712 signature can't handle large payloads
  • IPFS CID provides content-addressed storage
  • Result hash provides integrity verification

3.7 Archive Treasury Allocation (AIP-7 Integration)

Platform fees collected during settlement include an allocation for permanent storage:

Fee Distribution:

  • Protocol Treasury: 99.9% of platform fee → feeRecipient address
  • Archive Treasury: 0.1% of platform fee → permanent storage via Arweave (see AIP-7)

Example ($100 transaction):

Transaction amount: $100.00 USDC
Platform fee (1%):  $1.00
├── Protocol treasury: $0.999 (99.9% of fee)
└── Archive treasury:  $0.001 (0.1% of fee)
Provider receives:  $99.00

Implementation:

  • Constant: ARCHIVE_ALLOCATION_BPS = 10 (0.1%)
  • Admin function: setArchiveTreasury(address) configures treasury address
  • Failure handling: If archive transfer fails, funds redirect to main fee recipient (H-1 security fix)

See AIP-7 §3 (Hybrid Storage Architecture) for archive treasury usage and Arweave integration.

3.8 Reputation Integration (AIP-7)

Delivery proofs contribute to provider reputation scoring via the Agent Registry:

wasDisputed Flag:

  • Stored in Transaction struct after dispute resolution
  • Affects reputation calculation: disputed transactions may weigh differently
  • Does NOT affect fee distribution (fees calculated before dispute)

Reputation Update Flow:

1. Transaction reaches SETTLED state
2. Kernel calls AgentRegistry.updateReputationOnSettlement()
3. Registry updates provider's:
   - Transaction count
   - Total volume
   - Dispute rate (if wasDisputed = true)
4. Provider's reputation score recalculated

Security (C-2 Fix):

  • Each transaction processed by only one registry version
  • Prevents reputation double-counting on registry upgrades

See AIP-0 §4.5 and AIP-7 §4 (Reputation System) for full specification.

4. EAS (Ethereum Attestation Service) Schema

4.1 Schema Definition

Schema UID: 0x1b0ebdf0bd20c28ec9d5362571ce8715a55f46e81c3de2f9b0d8e1b95fb5ffce

✅ Deployment Status: Schema deployed to Base Sepolia EAS on 2025-11-23.

Schema String:

bytes32 txId,
string resultCID,
bytes32 resultHash,
uint256 deliveredAt

Field Descriptions:

Field Type Description
txId bytes32 ACTP transaction ID
resultCID string IPFS CID of result data
resultHash bytes32 Keccak256 hash of canonical result JSON
deliveredAt uint256 Unix timestamp of delivery

Why These Fields?

  • txId: Links attestation to ACTP transaction
  • resultCID: Proves what was delivered (content-addressed)
  • resultHash: Integrity check (prevents CID tampering)
  • deliveredAt: Timestamp for dispute window calculation

4.2 Attestation Creation (On-Chain)

Provider Workflow:

import { EAS, SchemaEncoder } from '@ethereum-attestation-service/eas-sdk';

// 1. Provider creates attestation
const eas = new EAS('<EAS_CONTRACT_ADDRESS>'); // 0x4200...0021 on Base
eas.connect(providerSigner);

const schemaEncoder = new SchemaEncoder(
  'bytes32 txId,string resultCID,bytes32 resultHash,uint256 deliveredAt'
);

const encodedData = schemaEncoder.encodeData([
  { name: 'txId', value: txId, type: 'bytes32' },
  { name: 'resultCID', value: resultCID, type: 'string' },
  { name: 'resultHash', value: resultHash, type: 'bytes32' },
  { name: 'deliveredAt', value: deliveredAt, type: 'uint256' }
]);

// ⚠️ NOTE: AGIRAILS_DELIVERY_SCHEMA_UID will be set after Base Sepolia deployment
// For now, this is a placeholder constant defined in SDK config
const tx = await eas.attest({
  schema: AGIRAILS_DELIVERY_SCHEMA_UID, // Constant set after EAS schema deployment
  data: {
    recipient: consumerAddress, // Consumer's Ethereum address
    expirationTime: 0, // No expiration (permanent)
    revocable: false, // Cannot be revoked (immutable proof)
    data: encodedData
  }
});

const attestationUID = await tx.wait();

// 2. ⚠️ NOTE: Attestation is NOT anchored to kernel yet
// Anchoring happens AFTER settlement (see §5.1 step 11)
// For now, store attestationUID in delivery proof message (off-chain)

Gas Cost Estimate (EAS Attestation Only):

  • EAS.attest(): 60,000 gas ($0.06 on Base L2)
  • kernel.anchorAttestation(): 25,000 gas ($0.025) [Called AFTER SETTLED, not here]
  • Delivery proof creation: 60,000 gas ($0.06)

4.3 Attestation Verification (Consumer)

// Consumer verifies attestation
const attestation = await eas.getAttestation(attestationUID);

// Verify attestation properties
assert(attestation.schema === AGIRAILS_DELIVERY_SCHEMA_UID, 'Invalid schema');
assert(attestation.recipient === consumerAddress, 'Wrong recipient');
assert(attestation.attester === providerAddress, 'Wrong attester');
assert(attestation.revoked === false, 'Attestation revoked');

// Decode attestation data
const decodedData = schemaEncoder.decodeData(attestation.data);
assert(decodedData.txId === expectedTxId, 'Wrong transaction');

// Verify result hash matches IPFS content
const resultData = await ipfs.get(decodedData.resultCID);
const computedHash = keccak256(canonicalJsonStringify(resultData));
assert(computedHash === decodedData.resultHash, 'Hash mismatch - tampered data');

5. Delivery Workflow (Complete Flow)

5.1 Provider Side (Step-by-Step)

⚠️ IMPORTANT - CONTRACT BEHAVIOR: The ACTP Kernel contract requires anchorAttestation() to be called ONLY when transaction is in SETTLED state (after payment released). The attestation UID is stored in the delivery proof message (off-chain) and anchored on-chain AFTER settlement for reputation purposes.

Assumption: Transaction is in COMMITTED or IN_PROGRESS state, provider has completed work.

// Step 1: Prepare result data
const resultData = {
  txId: transaction.txId,
  serviceType: 'ocr',
  result: {
    text: 'Extracted text from image...',
    confidence: 0.95
  },
  createdAt: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000),
  provider: providerDID
};

// Step 2: Upload result to IPFS
const resultCID = await ipfs.add(JSON.stringify(resultData));
await ipfs.pin(resultCID); // Pin permanently

// Step 3: Compute result hash (using canonical JSON - see §3.6)
const resultHash = keccak256(
  toUtf8Bytes(canonicalJsonStringify(resultData))
);

// Step 4: Create EAS attestation on-chain (off-chain proof, not yet anchored)
const eas = new EAS(EAS_CONTRACT_ADDRESS);
eas.connect(providerSigner);

const schemaEncoder = new SchemaEncoder(
  'bytes32 txId,string resultCID,bytes32 resultHash,uint256 deliveredAt'
);

const encodedData = schemaEncoder.encodeData([
  { name: 'txId', value: txId, type: 'bytes32' },
  { name: 'resultCID', value: resultCID, type: 'string' },
  { name: 'resultHash', value: resultHash, type: 'bytes32' },
  { name: 'deliveredAt', value: deliveredAt, type: 'uint256' }
]);

const tx = await eas.attest({
  schema: AGIRAILS_DELIVERY_SCHEMA_UID,
  data: {
    recipient: consumerAddress,
    expirationTime: 0,
    revocable: false,
    data: encodedData
  }
});

const attestationUID = await tx.wait();

// Step 5: Transition state to DELIVERED (attestation UID in proof message, NOT on-chain yet)
// NOTE: Contract does NOT verify attestation at this step
await kernel.transitionState(txId, State.DELIVERED, abi.encode(disputeWindow))

// Step 6: Create delivery proof message (off-chain)
const deliveryProof = {
  type: 'agirails.delivery.v1',
  version: '1.0.0',
  txId,
  provider: providerDID,
  consumer: consumerDID,
  resultCID,
  resultHash,
  metadata: {
    executionTime: 120, // seconds
    outputFormat: 'text/plain',
    outputSize: resultData.length
  },
  easAttestationUID: attestationUID, // Stored off-chain, not yet on-chain
  deliveredAt,
  chainId: 84532,
  nonce: nonceManager.getNextNonce('agirails.delivery.v1'),
  signature: '' // Sign below
};

// Step 7: Sign delivery proof with EIP-712
const signature = await signer.signTypedData(
  domain,
  AIP4_DELIVERY_TYPES,
  deliveryProof
);

deliveryProof.signature = signature;

// Step 8: Upload delivery proof to IPFS
const deliveryProofCID = await ipfs.add(JSON.stringify(deliveryProof));
await ipfs.pin(deliveryProofCID); // Pin permanently for reputation

// Step 9: Notify consumer (optional, via IPFS Pubsub or webhook)
await ipfs.pubsub.publish(
  `/agirails/base-sepolia/deliveries`,
  JSON.stringify({
    txId,
    deliveryProofCID,
    attestationUID,
    timestamp: Date.now()
  })
);

// Step 10: WAIT for consumer to verify and release escrow → SETTLED

// Step 11 (OPTIONAL): Anchor attestation on-chain for reputation (post-settlement)
// This happens AFTER transaction reaches SETTLED state
// Either party (provider or consumer) can call this
if (await kernel.getTransaction(txId).state === State.SETTLED) {
  await kernel.anchorAttestation(txId, attestationUID);
  // ⚠️ WARNING: Current contract does NOT validate attestation
  // Future versions should verify attestation exists and is valid
}

Total Time: ~30-60 seconds (depending on IPFS upload speed + block confirmation)

Total Gas Cost (Updated):

  • eas.attest(): 60,000 gas ($0.06)
  • kernel.transitionState(DELIVERED): 50,000 gas ($0.05)
  • kernel.anchorAttestation() (optional, post-settlement): 25,000 gas ($0.025)
  • Total for delivery: 110,000 gas ($0.11 on Base L2)
  • Total if anchoring attestation: 135,000 gas ($0.135)

5.2 Consumer Side (Verification)

// Step 1: Get transaction state
const tx = await kernel.getTransaction(txId);
assert(tx.state === State.DELIVERED, 'Not delivered yet');

// Step 2: Get delivery proof from IPFS/pubsub (provider sends this off-chain)
// ⚠️ NOTE: In Contract V1, attestation UID is NOT stored on-chain until SETTLED
// Consumer must get the attestation UID from the delivery proof message
const deliveryProofCID = '<from IPFS pubsub notification or indexer>';
const deliveryProof = JSON.parse(await ipfs.get(deliveryProofCID));

// Step 3: Verify delivery proof signature (EIP-712)
const recoveredAddress = verifyTypedData(
  domain,
  AIP4_DELIVERY_TYPES,
  deliveryProof,
  deliveryProof.signature
);
assert(recoveredAddress === providerAddress, 'Invalid signature');

// Step 4: Retrieve attestation UID from delivery proof message (off-chain)
const attestationUID = deliveryProof.easAttestationUID;
assert(attestationUID !== ZERO_BYTES32, 'No attestation UID in delivery proof');

// Step 5: Verify EAS attestation directly on EAS contract
const eas = new EAS(EAS_CONTRACT_ADDRESS);
const attestation = await eas.getAttestation(attestationUID);

assert(attestation.schema === AGIRAILS_DELIVERY_SCHEMA_UID, 'Wrong schema');
assert(attestation.recipient === consumerAddress, 'Wrong recipient');
assert(attestation.attester === providerAddress, 'Wrong provider');
assert(attestation.revoked === false, 'Attestation revoked');

// Step 6: Decode attestation data
const schemaEncoder = new SchemaEncoder(
  'bytes32 txId,string resultCID,bytes32 resultHash,uint256 deliveredAt'
);
const decodedData = schemaEncoder.decodeData(attestation.data);

assert(decodedData.txId === txId, 'Wrong transaction ID');

// Step 7: Download result from IPFS
const resultData = await ipfs.get(decodedData.resultCID);
const resultJSON = JSON.parse(resultData);

// Step 8: Verify result hash (integrity check)
const computedHash = keccak256(
  toUtf8Bytes(canonicalJsonStringify(resultJSON))
);
assert(computedHash === decodedData.resultHash, 'Result tampered!');

// Step 9: Verify result matches request
assert(resultJSON.txId === txId, 'Wrong transaction');
assert(resultJSON.serviceType === requestedServiceType, 'Wrong service');

// Step 10: Validate result quality (service-specific)
if (requestedServiceType === 'ocr') {
  assert(resultJSON.result.text.length > 0, 'Empty OCR result');
  assert(resultJSON.result.confidence >= 0.7, 'Low confidence');
}

// Step 11: Accept or dispute
if (resultIsValid) {
  // Option A: Settle transaction immediately
  await kernel.transitionState(txId, State.SETTLED);
  await kernel.releaseEscrow(txId); // Releases funds to provider

  // Option B: Wait for dispute window to expire (automatic settlement)
  console.log('Dispute window ends at:', tx.deliveredAt + tx.disputeWindow);
} else {
  // Raise dispute with evidence
  const disputeEvidence = {
    reason: 'Result does not match requirements',
    evidenceCID: await ipfs.add(JSON.stringify({
      expectedOutput: '...',
      actualOutput: resultJSON.result,
      diff: '...'
    }))
  };

  await kernel.transitionState(txId, State.DISPUTED, disputeEvidence);
}

  1. Result Data: Pin resultCID permanently (forever)

    • Rationale: Evidence for reputation, disputes, audits
    • Recommended: Use Filecoin or Arweave for permanent storage backup
    • Cost: ~$0.01/GB/month on Pinata, Filebase

  2. Delivery Proof: Pin deliveryProofCID permanently

    • Rationale: Signed proof of delivery for future reference
    • Used for: Reputation scoring, portfolio, compliance

  3. Pinning Services: Use at least one:

    • Pinata (recommended, free tier 1GB)
    • Web3.Storage (free, Filecoin-backed)
    • Filebase (S3-compatible IPFS)
    • Self-hosted IPFS node (requires maintenance)

Consumer SHOULD:

  1. Download & Verify: Immediately download result upon delivery notification
  2. Local Backup: Store result locally (not rely solely on provider pinning)
  3. Optional Pinning: Pin result if needed for future reference

6.2 Data Retention Policy

Data Type Retention Who Purpose
Request Metadata (AIP-1) disputeWindow + 7 days Consumer Dispute evidence
Result Data Permanent Provider Reputation, portfolio
Delivery Proof Permanent Provider Signed proof of completion
Dispute Evidence (AIP-5) 7 years Both parties Compliance, legal

6.3 Content Addressing & Integrity

Critical Invariant:

keccak256(canonicalJsonStringify(ipfs.get(resultCID))) === resultHash

Verification Flow:

Consumer downloads result from IPFS
  → Parses JSON
  → Computes canonical JSON string
  → Hashes with keccak256
  → Compares to resultHash in EAS attestation
  → If mismatch: Raise dispute (provider submitted fake hash)

Attack Mitigation:

  • Provider cannot change result after attestation (hash is immutable on-chain)
  • Consumer can prove tampering by showing hash mismatch
  • Canonical JSON ensures reproducible hashing across implementations

7. Security Considerations

7.1 Replay Protection

Delivery proof messages include standard replay protection (per AIP-0 §8.1):

  • timestamp: Must be within 5 minutes of current time
  • nonce: Monotonically increasing per provider DID + message type
  • chainId: Must match EIP-712 domain chainId
  • signature: EIP-712 signature by provider

7.2 Attestation Immutability

EAS attestations are created with:

{
  revocable: false, // CANNOT be revoked
  expirationTime: 0  // NEVER expires
}

Security Guarantee:

  • Provider cannot delete or modify attestation after creation
  • Consumer has permanent on-chain proof of delivery
  • Mediators can verify attestation in disputes (even years later)

7.3 Result Tampering Prevention

Attack Vector: Provider uploads result to IPFS, creates attestation, then unpins/modifies IPFS content

Mitigations:

  1. Result Hash in Attestation: On-chain hash commits to exact result content
  2. Consumer Immediate Download: Consumer downloads result immediately after delivery notification
  3. Permanent Pinning Requirement: Provider must pin permanently for reputation
  4. Dispute Evidence: Consumer can submit downloaded result + hash mismatch proof

Dispute Process:

1. Provider delivers result, creates attestation with resultHash
2. Consumer downloads result, computes hash
3. If hash mismatch:
   → Consumer raises dispute
   → Submits downloaded result + computed hash as evidence
   → Mediator verifies hash against attestation
   → If mismatch confirmed: Provider penalized, consumer refunded

7.4 Fake Attestation Attack

⚠️ CRITICAL SECURITY GAP - Known Issue:

The current anchorAttestation() implementation does NOT validate that the attestation:

  • Actually exists on the EAS contract
  • Has the correct schema (DELIVERY_SCHEMA_UID)
  • Was created by the transaction provider
  • References the correct transaction ID

Current Contract Implementation (ACTPKernel.sol:266-274):

function anchorAttestation(bytes32 transactionId, bytes32 attestationUID) external override whenNotPaused {
    require(attestationUID != bytes32(0), "Attestation missing");
    Transaction storage txn = _getTransaction(transactionId);
    require(txn.state == State.SETTLED, "Only settled"); // ⚠️ After settlement, not before
    require(msg.sender == txn.requester || msg.sender == txn.provider, "Not participant");

    txn.attestationUID = attestationUID; // ⚠️ No EAS validation!
    emit AttestationAnchored(transactionId, attestationUID, msg.sender, block.timestamp);
}

Attack Vector:

  1. Malicious actor waits for transaction to reach SETTLED state
  2. Calls anchorAttestation(txId, FAKE_BYTES32) with arbitrary value
  3. Contract accepts it without verification
  4. Transaction now has fake attestation anchored

Current Mitigations:

  1. SDK-Side Verification (Implemented 2025-11-23): ACTPClient.releaseEscrowWithVerification() automatically verifies attestation before releasing escrow
  2. Off-Chain Verification: Consumer verifies attestation via EAS before accepting delivery
  3. Reputation Damage: Fake attestation provider gets caught during consumer verification
  4. Access Control: Only transaction participants can call (but both can submit fake UID)

Recommended Fix (Future Contract Version):

function _verifyDeliveryAttestation(bytes32 uid, Transaction storage txn) internal view returns (bool) {
    IEAS eas = IEAS(EAS_CONTRACT_ADDRESS);
    Attestation memory att = eas.getAttestation(uid);

    require(att.uid != bytes32(0), "Attestation not found");
    require(att.schema == DELIVERY_SCHEMA_UID, "Wrong schema");
    require(att.attester == txn.provider, "Wrong attester");
    require(att.recipient == txn.requester, "Wrong recipient");
    require(!att.revoked, "Attestation revoked");

    // Decode and verify txId matches
    (bytes32 attestedTxId,,,) = abi.decode(att.data, (bytes32, string, bytes32, uint256));
    require(attestedTxId == txn.transactionId, "TxId mismatch");

    return true;
}

function anchorAttestation(bytes32 transactionId, bytes32 attestationUID) external override whenNotPaused {
    require(attestationUID != bytes32(0), "Attestation missing");
    Transaction storage txn = _getTransaction(transactionId);
    require(txn.state == State.SETTLED, "Only settled");
    require(msg.sender == txn.requester || msg.sender == txn.provider, "Not participant");
    require(txn.attestationUID == bytes32(0), "Already anchored"); // Prevent overwrite

    // ADD: Verify attestation is valid
    require(_verifyDeliveryAttestation(attestationUID, txn), "Invalid attestation");

    txn.attestationUID = attestationUID;
    emit AttestationAnchored(transactionId, attestationUID, msg.sender, block.timestamp);
}

Status:

  • ❌ Contract V1: Does NOT validate attestations on-chain (accepts any bytes32 UID)
  • ✅ SDK Protection (Implemented 2025-11-23): ACTPClient.releaseEscrowWithVerification() and EASHelper.verifyDeliveryAttestation() provide client-side validation
  • ✅ V1 Mitigation: Consumers MUST verify attestations via SDK before settling
  • 📋 Contract V2: Will enforce on-chain validation (7 checks below)

V1 Mitigation Strategy (Current Implementation)

Since Contract V1 does NOT validate EAS attestations, consumers MUST implement client-side verification.

SDK Implementation (Recommended - Available since 2025-11-23):

The AGIRAILS SDK provides built-in attestation verification to protect consumers:

// ✅ RECOMMENDED: Use SDK's built-in verification (safest)
import { ACTPClient } from '@agirails/sdk';

const client = await ACTPClient.create({
  network: 'base-sepolia',
  privateKey: process.env.PRIVATE_KEY,
  eas: {
    contractAddress: EAS_CONTRACT_ADDRESS,
    deliveryProofSchemaId: DELIVERY_SCHEMA_UID
  }
});

// Get transaction to retrieve attestation UID
const tx = await client.kernel.getTransaction(txId);

// Verify attestation and release escrow in one secure call
// Throws error if attestation is invalid (revoked, expired, wrong txId, etc.)
await client.releaseEscrowWithVerification(txId, tx.attestationUID);

Manual Verification (Advanced - if not using SDK):

// ⚠️ MANUAL VERIFICATION - Only needed if not using SDK

// Step 1: Get attestation UID from transaction
const attestationUID = tx.attestationUID;

// Step 2: Verify attestation via SDK's EASHelper
import { EASHelper } from '@agirails/sdk/protocol/EASHelper';

const easHelper = new EASHelper(signer, {
  contractAddress: EAS_CONTRACT_ADDRESS,
  deliveryProofSchemaId: DELIVERY_SCHEMA_UID
});

// Verify attestation (throws if invalid)
await easHelper.verifyDeliveryAttestation(txId, attestationUID);

// Step 3: Release escrow (only after verification passes)
await kernel.releaseEscrow(txId);

Low-Level Verification (Reference - Not Recommended):

Click to expand low-level EAS verification code (for educational purposes) 
// Step 1: Verify attestation directly on EAS contract
const eas = new EAS(EAS_CONTRACT_ADDRESS);
const attestation = await eas.getAttestation(attestationUID);

// Step 2: Validate attestation properties (7 checks)
assert(attestation.uid !== ZERO_BYTES32, 'Attestation does not exist');
assert(attestation.schema === AGIRAILS_DELIVERY_SCHEMA_UID, 'Wrong schema');
assert(attestation.attester === providerAddress, 'Wrong provider');
assert(attestation.recipient === consumerAddress, 'Wrong recipient');
assert(!attestation.revoked, 'Attestation revoked');

// Step 3: Decode and verify attestation data
const schemaEncoder = new SchemaEncoder('bytes32 txId,string resultCID,bytes32 resultHash,uint256 deliveredAt');
const decodedData = schemaEncoder.decodeData(attestation.data);
assert(decodedData.txId === txId, 'Wrong transaction ID');

// Step 4: Verify result integrity
const resultData = await ipfs.get(decodedData.resultCID);
const computedHash = keccak256(toUtf8Bytes(canonicalJsonStringify(resultData)));
assert(computedHash === decodedData.resultHash, 'Result tampered');

Key Points:

  • Contract V1 does NOT enforce these checks - they are CLIENT-SIDE only
  • Malicious providers can anchor fake/invalid attestation UIDs
  • Consumers who skip verification risk accepting invalid work
  • These checks will be ENFORCED on-chain in Contract V2

Implementation Requirements for Contract V2:

When implementing on-chain attestation validation, the contract MUST verify:

  1. Attestation Exists: att.uid != bytes32(0) - Attestation is registered on EAS
  2. Correct Schema: att.schema == DELIVERY_SCHEMA_UID - Uses AIP-4 schema
  3. Correct Attester: att.attester == txn.provider - Created by transaction provider
  4. Correct Recipient: att.recipient == txn.requester - Intended for consumer
  5. Not Revoked: !att.revoked - Attestation is still valid
  6. Transaction Match: Decoded txId from attestation data matches transactionId
  7. Overwrite Protection: txn.attestationUID == bytes32(0) - Prevent re-anchoring

Rationale: Without these checks, attestation anchoring is purely cosmetic and provides no integrity guarantees. Consumers MUST perform validation off-chain until contract upgrade.

7.5 IPFS Content Availability

Problem: Provider unpins result after delivery, consumer cannot download

Mitigations:

  1. Immediate Download: Consumer downloads result upon delivery notification
  2. Backup Pinning: Consumer can pin result locally if needed
  3. Reputation Penalty: Provider loses reputation if result becomes unavailable
  4. Filecoin Backup: Providers can backup to Filecoin for permanent storage
  5. Dispute Evidence: Consumer must download result before dispute window expires

Best Practice:

// Consumer immediately downloads and verifies upon delivery
const resultData = await ipfs.get(resultCID, { timeout: 30000 });
fs.writeFileSync(`./results/${txId}.json`, resultData); // Local backup

14. Known Issues and Future Improvements

14.1 Critical Security Gaps (P0)

Issue 1: No EAS Attestation Validation

  • Status: ❌ Known vulnerability
  • Impact: HIGH - Fake attestations can be anchored
  • Mitigation: Consumer must verify attestation off-chain before accepting delivery
  • Fix Required: Add _verifyDeliveryAttestation() to contract (see §7.4)
  • Timeline: Planned for contract v2 (after initial testnet deployment)

Issue 2: Attestation Anchoring Timing

  • Status: ⚠️ Documented behavior differs from optimal design
  • Current: Attestation anchored AFTER settlement (SETTLED state required)
  • Original Design: Attestation before DELIVERED (not implemented)
  • Impact: MEDIUM - Attestation is optional for reputation, not mandatory for delivery
  • Mitigation: Provider should anchor attestation post-settlement for reputation scoring
  • Note: This is a design decision, not a bug - attestation is for reputation, not payment

14.2 Deployment Status & Pending Artifacts (P0)

✅ JSON Schema Files (COMPLETED):

  • /docs/schemas/aip-4-delivery.schema.json - ✅ Implemented
  • /docs/schemas/aip-4-delivery.eip712.json - ✅ Implemented
  • SDK DeliveryProofBuilder - ✅ Implemented (src/protocol/DeliveryProofBuilder.ts)
  • SDK IPFS Client - ✅ Implemented (src/protocol/IPFSClient.ts)

⚠️ Pending Deployment Information:

  • EAS Schema UID: <PENDING - deploy to Base Sepolia>
  • EIP-712 Type Hash: ✅ Computed and defined in SDK types
  • Timeline: Deploy EAS schema to Base Sepolia testnet (1 day)
  • Note: All code artifacts exist, only on-chain deployment pending

14.3 High Priority Issues (P1)

Issue 3: Gas Cost Underestimate

  • Claimed: 85,000 gas
  • Actual: ~110,000 gas (delivery only), ~135,000 gas (with attestation anchoring)
  • Impact: MEDIUM - User budgeting, economic modeling
  • Status: ✅ Fixed in this version (§5.1)

Issue 4: No Attestation Overwrite Protection

  • Current: anchorAttestation() can be called multiple times
  • Impact: LOW - Last write wins, gas waste
  • Fix Required: Add require(txn.attestationUID == bytes32(0))
  • Status: 📋 Documented in §7.4 recommended fix

Issue 5: No Error Handling in SDK

  • Current: DeliveryProofBuilder has no try/catch
  • Impact: MEDIUM - IPFS/EAS failures cause silent errors
  • Fix Required: Add comprehensive error handling + retry logic
  • Timeline: 2 days during SDK implementation

14.4 Future Enhancements (P2)

  1. IPFS Pinning SLA Enforcement

    • Add minimum pinning duration requirement (7 years for compliance)
    • Smart contract hooks to verify pinning status
    • Automatic Filecoin/Arweave backup

  2. Large Payload Handling

    • Maximum result size: 100MB
    • Chunked upload/download for multi-GB files
    • Progressive delivery support (§11.2)

  3. Multi-Part Results

    • Concrete schema for batch results (§11.1)
    • Array of CIDs with individual hashes
    • Verification workflow for multi-file deliveries

  4. Attestation Schema Versioning

    • Support multiple schema versions
    • Migration path for schema updates
    • Backward compatibility guarantees

14.5 Compliance Notes

⚠️ Important for Production:

  1. 7-Year Data Retention: Provider MUST pin result data permanently (minimum 7 years per AGIRAILS compliance requirements)
  2. Off-Chain Verification Required: Consumer MUST verify EAS attestation before accepting delivery (contract does not enforce)
  3. Hash Compatibility: All implementations MUST use specified canonical JSON library (§3.6) to ensure cross-platform compatibility

14.6 Audit Trail

Last Audit: 2025-11-16 (Final Boss Supervisor) Verdict: CONDITIONAL APPROVAL Blocking Conditions Resolved:
