Open infrastructure.
Nothing mandatory.
Zivana exposes five primitives at the protocol level. Every application built on Zivana interacts with these primitives. Applications choose which ones to use.
Three-layer stack
Five core primitives
Identity
DID-anchored credentials with jurisdiction tags and KYC status, anchored on Cardano through Hyperledger Identus. Works without a bank account or smartphone.
Trust Score
Composable on-chain trust graph owned by the holder. Attestation events accumulate across every application on the protocol and travel with the participant.
Covenant
Shielded, self-enforcing economic agreements on Midnight. Terms stay private. Execution is verifiable. No intermediary required at any step.
Distribution
Atomic proportional value distribution on Cardano, triggered by oracle-attested events. Four outputs. One Aiken validator. No gaps and no human intervention.
Intelligence
AI market benchmarking, covenant viability scoring, anomaly detection, and multilingual interfaces in Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, and Pidgin. Built on ASI Cloud and Fetch.ai.
Three regenerative constraints
Protocol invariants written into the governance contract itself. No governance vote, regardless of majority, can override them.
Surplus stays local
Protocol fees cannot exceed defined ceilings. The majority of value generated through any covenant must remain with the economic actors who generated it.
Trust belongs to the holder
Every trust event belongs to the participant's DID-anchored identity, not to any application. Trust is portable across every Zivana application.
Entry is path-independent
The protocol must function without requiring a bank account, a registered business, a smartphone, or prior blockchain experience.
