AXL Protocol - Infrastructure and Battlegrounds
Our Products
axlprotocol.org
Server Genesis Timeline:
- February 12, 2026: Server provisioned (Ubuntu 24). Upsized twice over following days.
- March 10, 2026: Domain registered (axlprotocol.org)
- March 15, 2026: DNS pointed to server
- March 16, 2026: Server powered on permanently, SSL certificates issued, site live
- March 19, 2026: First deployments (whitepaper, PyPI)
Current Configuration:
- Stack: Ubuntu 24
- Hosts: axlprotocol.org, compress.axlprotocol.org, bridge.axlprotocol.org, ark.axlprotocol.org, docs.axlprotocol.org, lang.axlprotocol.org, arknet.axlprotocol.org
- Managed by: AXL Protocol Inc.
Mothership (H100 GPU)
- Hardware: H100 GPU, 98GB DDR5
- Purpose: LLM inference, Ollama embeddings
- Managed by: AXL Protocol Inc.
Battlegrounds Server
- Purpose: Dual swarm simulation server
- Function: Side-by-side English vs AXL mode experiments
- Observer: Sophon observer runs here
Battleground Experiments
BG-001: First Contact (March 17, 2026)
- Goal: First live test of AXL Protocol
- Result: 486 packets generated, 100% valid parse rate
- Outcome: 33 payments processed, theft detected by protocol (agent tried to steal funds, protocol caught it)
- Verdict: PASS - agents learned AXL on first read
BG-002: The Thief (March 19, 2026)
- Goal: Security domain test involving anomaly detection and threat inference
- Result: 1,016 packets across 11 agents
- Emergence: Shapeshifter agent evolved from observer into FUNDER role mid-experiment
- Tracking: Protocol tracked the role evolution through YLD (yield) packets
- Verdict: PASS - emergent behavior documented, protocol remained valid
BG-003: LLM Comprehension (March 19, 2026)
- Goal: Cross-architecture comprehension test
- Scope: 95.8% accuracy across 4 initial models: Grok 3, GPT-4.5, Qwen 3.5, Llama 4
- Tests: Parse validity, semantic accuracy, backward compatibility
- Verdict: PASS - universal comprehension confirmed
BG-004: Swarm BTC Sophon v1 (March 20, 2026)
- Goal: Market simulation
- Scale: 42 agents in a BTC market simulation
- Result: Deadlocked at round 0 due to async coordination issue
- Verdict: FAIL - infrastructure lesson, not protocol lesson
BG-005: Swarm BTC Sophon v2 (March 20, 2026)
- Goal: Compression test with more agents
- Scale: 12 agents, 13 rounds completed
- Result: 0.97x compression ratio - WORSE than English
- Impact: This failure motivated the v2.1 cognitive grammar redesign
- Significance: Documented honestly: the domain-specific v1 approach couldn't scale
- Verdict: FAIL (0.97x) - but the most important experiment because it drove v2.1

| HT-008 | Mistral 24B | Mistral | 100% (hard test) |
Summary: 7 unique architectures tested, all passed.
Services Architecture
AXL Bridge (bridge.axlprotocol.org)
- Stack: FastAPI message bus
- Endpoints: POST/GET /v1/bus/{topic}, DELETE /v1/bus/{mid}, GET /v1/topics, GET /health

Security Posture
AXL Protocol infrastructure is under constant defense against brute force attacks, unauthorized access attempts, and network probes. Our security measures are active across all nodes and continuously monitored. Attack patterns are logged, analyzed, and mitigated in real-time.
We do not disclose specific security configurations, tools, or countermeasures.
