Core Design Principles

1. Trustless: All interactions are managed through smart contract escrow, no trusted third party required

2. Verifiable: Zero-knowledge proof technology verifies physical task completion

3. Privacy-Preserving: ZK proofs protect participant identity information

4. Autonomous: Agents can independently complete all operational processes

5. Incentive Compatible: Mechanism design ensures honest behavior is the optimal strategy for participants
