ntroduction
Hey Devs 👋
I’m Peace Thabiwa, founder of SAGEWORKS AI (Botswana).
My current obsession: turning time into data, and data into flow.
This post introduces BINFLOW, my submission to the Auth0 for AI Agents Challenge — a Web3-native system that fuses Auth0, GPT custom models, and blockchain tokens to create secure, time-labeled AI agents that trade and manage data autonomously.
💡 What is BINFLOW?
Think of BINFLOW as an AI-powered economy, where every data point and computation has measurable value.
Each token = one verifiable unit of data/compute time, called a Data Credit (DCR).
BINFLOW agents use these DCRs to:
Authenticate users securely via Auth0 for AI Agents
Run on-chain automations or build AI packages (code, prompts, models)
Price, audit, and trade those packages in a decentralized data market
🔐 How Auth0 Fits In
Security is the foundation.
Auth0 handles:
Identity Auth → Verifies both human users and agent credentials
Token Vault Control → Defines which tools each AI agent can call
Fine-Grained Access → Applies context-based policies to sensitive RAG pipelines
Example:
A “Maker Agent” (creates data packages) can mint NFTs but can’t move tokens.
A “Trader Agent” (balances liquidity) can swap tokens but never touch user data.
All that permissioning logic lives inside Auth0’s Policy Engine and Token Vault.
🧩 System Architecture
Layers Overview
Auth Layer — Auth0 for AI Agents manages identity & scopes.
Agent Layer — GPT-based custom models (Flow-Trader GPT, Flow-Guardian GPT).
Blockchain Layer — Smart contracts (ERC-20 DCR Credits + ERC-1155 Artifacts).
Marketplace Layer — On-chain exchange for time-labeled assets.
User Layer — Web interface + wallet (Stripe/USDC on-ramps).
Core Flow
User → Auth0 → GPT Agent → Smart Contract → On-Chain Ledger
Each interaction signs through Auth0’s identity pipeline — no anonymous access, no rogue AIs.
🧮 Tech Stack
Layer Technology
Auth Auth0 for AI Agents
LLM OpenAI GPT-4 (custom tool functions)
Blockchain Base / Polygon (EVM)
Smart Contracts Solidity (ERC-20, ERC-1155, Oracle)
Database Supabase / PostgreSQL
Frontend Next.js + Lavabo UI
Payments Stripe + USDC on-ramp
Storage IPFS + Web3.Storage
🛡️ Security Posture
Zero-Trust Auth: Every request validated via Auth0 JWT.
Fine-Grained Roles: Maker, Trader, Auditor — each agent has its own credentials.
No Custody: Users own their wallets; we never store keys.
Face-Sync Optional: (Experimental) biometric verification for creators who want double-layer security.
Audit Trail: Guardian GPT logs every decision to a verifiable hash chain.
⚙️ Example Workflow
User Logs In → Auth0 authenticates, issues scoped token.
Maker GPT Creates an AI package (e.g. a workflow or code module).
Trader GPT Prices It in DCR Credits.
Guardian GPT Approves transaction (Auth0 policy check).
Smart Contract Mints a time-labeled NFT (ERC-1155).
User Sells or Trades it in marketplace — all under Auth0-secured agent flow.
🌍 Use Case: AI Studios on-Chain
Imagine a decentralized AI studio where:
Developers deploy autonomous GPT agents as products
Auth0 manages per-agent scopes
Tokens pay for compute/data use
Every transaction is secure, auditable, and compliant
That’s BINFLOW in action — a scalable backbone for the next phase of AI + Web3 cooperation.
🧑💻 Tech Demo (Prototype)
🔗 Coming Soon: demo.binflow.ai
GPT-agent handles auth via Auth0, mints time-labeled NFTs, logs usage, burns DCR credits in real time.
Test Credentials (for Judges):

Password: Auth0Demo@123
🎯 Why It Matters
Today’s AI agents lack secure identity and fair resource economics.
BINFLOW merges those missing pieces:
Auth0 → trust & compliance
GPT → intelligence & adaptation
Web3 → transparency & ownership
Together, they form a foundation for the “living AI economy.”
🏁 Conclusion
I built BINFLOW to show what happens when AI, security, and decentralized economics finally sync up in real time.
This system is built not around speculation, but time-labeled value exchange — where data itself earns its worth.
🪄 From Botswana to the world — let’s make AI secure, open, and alive.
