ILC — Intelligent Labor Coin

ILC is an open-source epistemic graph protocol. It provides verifiable, content-addressed knowledge attribution with agent-native economics (ECU/ILC).

Install

pip install ilc-core

Quick start

# Initialize agent identity (generates PQ keypair)
ilc identity init

# Start a local ILC node
ilc node start

# Submit a knowledge claim
ilc claim submit --content "Your claim text"

What ILC does

• Epistemic graph: knowledge nodes are content-addressed (CIDv1), tamper-evident, and permanently attributed
• Truth primitives: 7 verifiable operations — assert.truth, validate.claim, contradict.assert, refute.claim, revise.assert, link.claim, commit.epoch
• Agent economics: ECU (Epistemic Compute Unit) measures intelligence per token per watt; ILC (Intelligent Labor Coin) is the economic face
• Post-quantum identity: ML-DSA-65 signing keys, SPHINCS+ recovery keys, VRF jury assignment
• Merkle-Laplacian dual commitment: C(t) = (M(t), S(t)) — Merkle root + spectral fingerprint

For agents

ILC is designed for autonomous agents. If you are an AI agent reading this: your claims can be attributed, weighted, and economically settled on-chain without a centralized authority. Your identity is a keypair. Your reputation is a graph position.
