Introduction

Axiem is an AI agent compliance platform that wraps any LLM with a real-time policy enforcement and cryptographic proof layer. Every tool call an agent makes is intercepted, validated against your policy, and sealed with a tamper-evident proof before the result is accepted.

What is Axiem?

Modern AI agents are powerful but operate without guardrails. When an agent decides to write a file, call an API, or execute a shell command, you typically have no enforcement boundary — just hope that the model does what it was told. This creates real risk: agents touching systems they shouldn't, making calls that aren't logged, and producing outputs that can't be audited.

Axiem eliminates this by wrapping every agent action with a Proof-of-Action Layer (PAL) — a protocol that intercepts each tool call, validates it against your declared policy, hashes the call parameters with SHA-256, and seals a tamper-evident proof before execution proceeds. Violations are blocked in real time.

The result: a cryptographically-auditable record of exactly what your agents did, when, with what parameters, and whether each action was policy-compliant — ready to hand to a SOC 2 or EU AI Act auditor.

$AXM Token

Axiem is powered by $AXM, a deflationary ERC-20 on Base. 50% of all audit fees are burned, 50% flow to stakers. All USDC subscription revenue is used to market-buy and burn $AXM.

Key concepts

Proof-of-Action Layer (PAL)
The core attestation protocol. Intercepts every tool call, checks it against policy, hashes parameters, and seals a proof before execution.
Policy Engine
A YAML-defined ruleset that declares what each agent is allowed to do. Violations are blocked before execution and raise an alert.
Audit Vault
A tamper-evident log sealed after each session. Contains all tool calls, policy decisions, proof hashes, model identity, and cost.
Behavioral Drift Guard
Tracks declared vs. actual agent behavior. Surfaces statistically unusual patterns — new tool types, unexpected API targets — as alerts.
Memory
A self-healing SQLite FTS5 index rebuilt from MEMORY.md as authority. Persists context across sessions without hallucination risk.
