FIRM Protocol – Self-governing AI agent organizations with earned authority

Summary: FIRM is a zero-dependency Python framework enabling AI agent organizations where authority is earned via a Hebbian engine. Agents gain or lose influence based on success, with no fixed hierarchy. It features a 12-layer architecture including ledger, governance, federation, and prediction markets, supporting multiple LLMs like Claude and GPT.

What it does

FIRM manages multi-agent systems where authority emerges from agent performance, integrating prediction markets and futarchy governance. It supports up to eight agents interacting via APIs such as HackerOne and multiple large language models.

Who it's for

Developers building adaptive multi-agent AI systems requiring dynamic authority assignment and decentralized governance.

Why it matters

It eliminates hardcoded roles, allowing AI organizations to self-govern and evolve while maintaining human oversight and system adaptability.
