PermissionHub — Decentralized Consent Layer for AI
PermissionHub is a decentralized protocol designed to define, attest, and manage human consent for AI systems.
As AI agents gain autonomy and access to personal, professional, and financial data, the lack of a neutral, verifiable consent layer becomes a systemic risk. PermissionHub addresses this gap by introducing a permission standard that is human-readable, machine-compatible, and cryptographically verifiable.
- Define what AI systems are allowed to do
- Explicitly state what is forbidden
- Set boundaries, autonomy levels, and accountability rules
- Revoke or update permissions at any time
Permissions are created off-chain (for privacy), while proof of consent is anchored on-chain through cryptographic hashes and timestamps.
No personal data is stored on-chain — only verifiable intent.
Consent requires immutability, timestamping, neutrality, and auditability. PermissionHub uses blockchain as a trust anchor, not as a data storage layer.
Any AI system, platform, or auditor can verify that a permission existed, when it was issued, and whether it was revoked or updated — without revealing the underlying content.
The PermissionHub token is a utility token designed to support protocol operations and prevent abuse.
- Policy anchoring: a small token fee to anchor a permission policy hash on-chain.
- Versioning & revocation: updating/revoking permissions uses tokens, ensuring traceability.
- Anti-spam & Sybil resistance: token-based actions reduce malicious automated abuse.
- Lightweight governance: token holders vote on schema evolution and protocol upgrades.
The token is not designed as a speculative asset, but as a functional component of decentralized consent infrastructure.
Just as DNS became the naming layer of the internet and ENS became the naming layer of Web3, PermissionHub aims to become the consent layer of AI.
A neutral protocol where human intent is clearly declared, cryptographically attested, and universally verifiable.
- No personal data on-chain
- No centralized permission authority
- No AI models
- No behavioral tracking
PermissionHub does not control AI systems. It documents and attests human intent.
In a future where autonomous AI agents act on behalf of humans, explicit, verifiable consent will be as fundamental as identity and payments. PermissionHub is building the foundation for that future.
