# DaOS Architecture Overview Summary: Official architecture guide for the Decentralized Agent Operating System (DaOS). This page explains the interaction between local execution (Contour), capability discovery (Hub), and financial settlement (Gateway). Status: Architecture Reference Topics: - Contour Runtime design - TDM Hub plugin lifecycle - Sovereign Gateway settlement rails - WASM/WASI security model Packages: - tdm-sdk
The Decentralized Agent Operating System (DaOS) is a modular framework for building secure, autonomous, and financially capable AI agents.
The secure, local-first execution environment. It runs WASM plugins, manages vaults, and enforces trust policies.
A public catalog for capabilities. The website supports discovery and install commands; the local SDK Dashboard handles install-plan review, paid access, signatures, ratings, publishing metadata, and optional anchors before catalog repo review.
Modular financial rails that handle settlement, gas tanks, and cross-chain payments for autonomous agents.
DaOS uses Default Deny security. All agent plugins run in cryptographically isolated WASM sandboxes with no access to host resources unless explicitly granted by Trust Policies.
Plugins are compiled to WASM, ensuring they run at near-native speed while remaining strictly bounded by the runtime.
Private keys and sensitive data never leave the Local Vault. Signing happens inside the secure execution contour.
