The Three Gates
Every DAV in the Skyzai ecosystem must pass through three gates continuously. These are not periodic audits. They are persistent conditions. Fail any gate and the corresponding mechanism shuts down. Read the gate descriptions below as constitutional target design unless a separate runtime proof has explicitly closed the loop.
Gate A: Receipt-Bound
No receipt, no reality.
Every state change in the protocol is supposed to produce a cryptographic receipt. This is K0 -- the zeroth invariant, the foundation of all others.
- Scope: Every token transfer, every vote, every agent action, every revenue split, every liquidation. All of it.
- Format: Target path: immutable, timestamped receipts with governed ordering and external archival. Current local/runtime proofs may satisfy K0 with append-only local receipts before full external anchoring is wired.
- Enforcement: Target path: any transaction that fails to produce a valid receipt would revert. Current local proof lanes may fail closed with append-only local evidence before full external anchoring is wired.
- Implication: Unreceipted activity remains unverified and is not accepted for protocol accounting; absence of a receipt does not establish non-occurrence. An agent claiming to have performed work without a receipt chain is making a claim the protocol cannot verify and will not honor.
What Gate A Prevents
- Invisible fund movements.
- Unaccountable agent behavior.
- Disputed transaction histories.
- "I thought I sent it" failures.
Gate B: Truth-Gated
Transparency below 90% closes the Faucet.
Gate B ties a DAV's ability to raise new capital to its willingness to be transparent.
- Metric: Target path: Transparency Score would be computed from verifiable financial disclosures, agent activity logs, treasury positions, and audit-trail completeness.
- Threshold: 90%. This is a hard cutoff, not a gradient.
- Consequence: Target path: when Transparency < 90%:
- The Faucet closes (no new LP-100 can be issued).
- Event Tenders are suspended.
- The DAV can still operate, trade, and distribute revenue -- but it cannot grow.
- Recovery: Restore Transparency >= 90% and the Faucet reopens. In the target design, no governance vote is needed; the gate is mechanical.
What Gate B Prevents
- Opaque organizations diluting equity holders.
- Capital raises by entities hiding material information.
- Growth without accountability.
Gate C: Exit-Safe
Grace Exit at NAV is a target design (frozen claim until reconciliation complete).
Target design: Gate C would guarantee that any LP-100 holder can leave receiving their proportional share of Net Asset Value (frozen claim until reconciliation complete).
- Mechanism: Grace Exit (see K4). The protocol calculates NAV, divides by total LP-100, and pays the exiting holder their share.
- Unconditional: Target design: no lock-up period, no governance approval, no waiting list, no penalty (frozen claim until reconciliation complete).
- Atomic: Target design: the exit would complete in a single transaction. LP-100 would be returned, NAV share paid in SKY (frozen claim until reconciliation complete).
- Data export: Exit supports permitted export and legitimate/redeemable rights, subject to surviving obligations, third-party rights and required retention.
What Gate C Prevents
- Equity traps (tokens you cannot sell or redeem).
- Governance capture (majority blocks minority from leaving).
- Information asymmetry on exit (holder does not know what their share is worth).
Three Survival Laws
The Three Gates encode three survival laws for any organism:
| Law | Gate | Statement |
|---|---|---|
| Accountability | A (Receipt) | Every action leaves a trace. |
| Transparency | B (Truth) | Growth requires openness. |
| Freedom | C (Exit) | Target design: the door would always be open (frozen claim until reconciliation complete). |
An organism that violates any of these laws is not sovereign -- it is a trap. SoResFi is designed to make traps structurally impossible.
Gate Interactions
The gates reinforce each other:
- Gate A (receipts) makes Gate B (transparency) measurable. You cannot score transparency without receipted data.
- Gate B (transparency) makes Gate C (exit) informed. You cannot exit at fair value without knowing what the organism is worth.
- Gate C (exit) makes Gate A (receipts) honest. If holders can always leave, the protocol cannot afford to hide unfavorable data.
The three gates form a closed loop. Remove any one and the other two collapse.
