## Abstract

This proposal introduces the Decentralized Agent Execution Environment (DAEE), a standardized protocol and runtime framework for packaging, deploying, and executing Talos agents in a secure, verifiable, and economically incentivized manner.

## Motivation

The lack of a standardized protocol for deploying and running agents creates barriers for developers due to complexities in infrastructure management, verifiability of code execution, absence of resource marketplaces, and poor interoperability among different environments. The DAEE aims to address these challenges by providing a decentralized cloud for agents, establishing a foundational infrastructure layer for the Talos ecosystem.

## Specification

The DAEE comprises three primary components: a standardized packaging format for agents (Agent Manifest and Artifact), a decentralized deployment protocol that involves submission, verification, matching, assignment, and instantiation, and a network of Execution Nodes that manage agent deployment and execution.

## Rationale

The DAEE enables the Talos ecosystem by turning protocols into operational realities, ensuring verifiable execution through cryptographic checks, establishing a compute economy for resource exchange, and fostering interoperability across agents by adhering to a common packaging standard.

## Security Considerations

The DAEE emphasizes security through the verification of code artifacts using cryptographic hashes, sandboxed execution environments for agents, and a reputation system that penalizes Execution Nodes for downtime or malicious actions.

## Implementation

The implementation of the DAEE requires creating the agent packaging format, defining the deployment protocol and lifecycle management APIs, and establishing a network of Execution Nodes equipped to manage the execution of agent instances securely and reliably.
