Technical Lite paper

As the global reliance on artificial intelligence grows, traditional centralized infrastructures face significant limitations: single points of failure, fragmented data silos, and restricted interoperability across AI and blockchain systems. To overcome these challenges, mLayer introduces a decentralized communication protocol designed to unify AI agents and enable scalable real-world applications.

AI agents are no longer confined to receiving input solely from humans through natural language. Their information sources extend to IoT devices, backend applications, and other machine-driven systems. The mLayer decentralized M2M communication network establishes a standardized protocol that facilitates seamless interaction among agents, enabling efficient task execution and interoperability.

OrchX, a specialized translation and routing agent, plays a critical role in this system by orchestrating agent collaboration to solve complex tasks. Its key functions include:

• Decoding: Translating free-form speech into structured agent requests, bridging human communication with agent operations.

• Routing: Directing these requests to the most suitable AI agents for resolution.

• Synthesizing: Interpreting and aggregating responses from agents and humans to create cohesive outputs.

• Delivering: Presenting results in a user-friendly, actionable format.

• Coordinating: Scheduling future workloads for agents to enable ongoing, collaborative workflows.

This lite paper outlines the architectural framework of mLayer and demonstrates its functionality through real-world scenarios where OrchX enables seamless communication and coordination. Together, mLayer and OrchX set a new standard for decentralized AI agent communication, addressing the challenges of modern AI systems with scalability, security, and interoperability.
