| sidebarTitle | Introduction |
SINT Protocol is an open-source safety and governance framework for physical AI — robots, drones, autonomous vehicles, and industrial automation. It implements a Security Wedge architecture: a mandatory policy gateway that sits between AI decision-making models and physical actuators, enforcing capability-scoped permissions, constraint boundaries, and an append-only evidence ledger on every action.
Every action an AI agent attempts against the physical world must pass through the SINT Gate — a single intercept() entry point backed by Ed25519-signed capability tokens, a five-tier safety classification system (T1 Sandbox → T5 Unsupervised), and CSML (Continuous Safety Monitoring Language) anomaly detection. Governance is decentralized through an Open Agent Trust Registry, enabling multi-operator deployments without a single point of credential authority.
The core open-source monorepo. 24 packages, 5 apps, 3 SDKs. Safety gateway, capability tokens, evidence ledger. The policy enforcement engine. `intercept()` API, five-tier safety tiers, constraint system, approval queue. Full system overview: package map, gateway server, bridge ecosystem, data flow diagrams. Formal specification of the Security Wedge model, invariants, threat model, and formal safety proofs. Unified control center — 31 feature modules, visual workflow builder, real-time agent orchestration, policy management. Ed25519 token cryptography, delegation chains, goal hijack detection, circuit breaker invariants. 3D talking AI avatar with ElevenLabs lipsync, CSML-driven expression escalation, and real-time operator UI. Development roadmap: npm publish → framework integrations → physical AI partnerships → enterprise.
