DigiByte AdamantineOS is a deterministic security decision engine for digital wallets and autonomous systems.
It is not a wallet UI and it does not change DigiByte consensus, block rules, mining, supply, or protocol security.
AdamantineOS sits before execution and connects external evidence layers into one final fail-closed decision path. External systems provide evidence; AdamantineOS makes the final allow, deny, or human-review decision.
The historical v3.0.0 release connects:
- Shield v3.2 component evidence through the Shield Orchestrator receipt\
- WSQK v2 posture / policy evidence\
- Q-ID identity / session evidence\
- Adaptive Core advisory policy evidence\
- AI Gateway evidence-only input, never final authority\
- Replay / nonce freshness enforcement\
- Wallet policy / EQC evidence\
- Human review bound to exact context\
- Final AdamantineOS fail-closed decision authority
Only after the final AdamantineOS decision engine returns an allow verdict can execution continue.
The current source includes independent component and Orchestrator verification, required classical Ed25519 plus ML-DSA policy, optional draft FN-DSA/Falcon-1024, canonical bundle order, verifier-controlled trust, freshness/replay checks, durable verification audit, and bounded verification work.
- Final verifier proof pack
- Independent version and release status
- Verifier contract
- Threat model
- Test matrix
- Real-backend proof boundaries
F deliberately keeps package version 3.0.0: this is a documentation/test
step, not a new AdamantineOS release stamp. The next independent version is
not assigned here. Historical v3.0.0 release evidence is not current v4 proof.
AdamantineOS does not inherit the six Shield repositories' v4.0.0 tag.
shield_v4_required=True is explicit; the compatibility default remains
shield_v4_required=False. F does not automatically enable v4-required mode
in the existing v2 runtime host. The direct verifier/final-policy tests are
not a deployed wallet or completed SDK claim. A wallet consumes only
AdamantineOS final output, never upstream handoff_allowed as final approval.
Standard CI enforces 100% statement coverage. The native proof separately requires six exact nodes with zero skips; its classical callbacks remain TEST-ONLY. Performance/DoS proof uses deterministic callbacks, not native latency measurements. Draft Falcon-1024 is not final FIPS 206 proof. Post-commit workflows, fresh-ZIP verification, and final release authorization remain separate gates.
Modern wallet systems and autonomous applications rely on multiple external signals:
- identity proofs\
- oracle intelligence\
- AI security analysis\
- governance proposals\
- runtime policies\
- quantum-aware authority proofs
External inputs require explicit verification against local policy.
AdamantineOS exists to enforce deterministic trust verification.
Instead of trusting external inputs, AdamantineOS:
- verifies identity using Q-ID cryptographic proofs\
- validates oracle intelligence from Adaptive Core\
- evaluates security evidence through the Shield Orchestrator boundary\
- enforces deterministic fail-closed decision rules\
- verifies governance proposals through artifact hashing and receipt validation\
- enforces WSQK v2 quantum-aware authority through TVA and Q-ID posture binding
Execution is allowed only when every layer passes verification.
If any layer fails -> execution is deterministically denied.
AdamantineOS therefore acts as a trust firewall for wallet execution.
Status: Historical release record; not current Shield v4 evidence or new tag permission
Type: Major release boundary
Tests: 925 passed
Coverage: 100.00%
Package distribution name: adamantine-wallet-os unchanged
Python import paths: unchanged
DigiByte AdamantineOS v3.0.0 marks the first major release boundary after
approximately seven months of building, integration, proof-pack alignment,
red-team hardening, and final release-gate review.
This release is about the full connected system: Shield, WSQK, Q-ID, Adaptive Core, AI Gateway, replay/nonce checks, wallet policy, human review, and the final AdamantineOS fail-closed decision engine.
Claude AI is documented only as part of the authorized red-team evidence. The release itself is the connected deterministic architecture, not the red-team tool.
AdamantineOS does not change DigiByte consensus. It remains an external deterministic fail-closed execution protection boundary.
Status: Locked
Type: Quantum-aware authority upgrade
Compatibility: Additive --- legacy/v1 paths remain compatible unless WSQK v2 is explicitly required
This release upgrades WSQK inside AdamantineOS into a quantum-aware authority layer.
- WSQK v2 Authority Contract
WSQKAuthorityV2andWSQKIssueRequestV2- sorted canonical unique
required_evidence_families - deterministic
proof_bindings_hash
- Truth Vector Authority (TVA) Enforcement
- WSQK v2 posture requirements are enforced fail-closed
- tampered bindings are denied before nonce use
- WSQK v1 cannot satisfy explicit WSQK v2 requirements
- Q-ID Hybrid Posture Binding
hybrid_requiredrequires classical AND PQC posturepqc_requiredrequires PQC evidence- posture mismatches deny deterministically
- Runtime Boundary Propagation
- orchestrator/runtime paths propagate WSQK v2 requirements
- no silent v1 fallback when v2 is required
- Tamperproof Regression Locks
- hash tampering, context tampering, family drift, downgrade attempts, and Q-ID posture tamper are covered by tests
- WSQK v2 proof pack maps contracts -> invariants -> implementation -> tests -> CI proof
Key invariant:
required_evidence_families MUST be stored and compared as a sorted canonical set.
Status: Locked
Type: Compatibility lock (Adaptive Core v3 governance path sealed)
Compatibility: Additive --- no production behavior changes
This release locks AdamantineOS compatibility with Adaptive Core v3
upgrade_proposal_v3 artifacts and seals the first cross-repository
governance evaluation path.
- Adaptive Core v3 Governance Compatibility
- Proven compatibility with Adaptive Core v3
upgrade_proposal_v3artifacts - Stable proposal ingestion and validation path
- Deterministic evaluation of governance proposals
- Proven compatibility with Adaptive Core v3
- Cross-Repository Hash Invariant
- Deterministic
proposal_hashinvariant enforced across repositories - Hash drift fails CI
- Canonical compatibility vector frozen
- Deterministic
- Governance Receipt Path Frozen
- Compatibility vectors frozen in CI (
approve+ receipt path) - First upgrade proposal review path sealed end-to-end
- Stable review receipt artifact boundary
- Compatibility vectors frozen in CI (
- Boundary Guarantees Reinforced
- No production behavior changes
- Governance compatibility locked without expanding runtime trust
- Strengthened boundary between proposal artifacts and execution behavior
Rule: Any semantic change to Adaptive Core v3 governance artifact handling requires a new versioned compatibility lock.

AdamantineOS v2.1.0 introduces the first deterministic governance compatibility path with Adaptive Core v3.
The governance architecture and artifact contracts are documented here:
- Adaptive Core -> Adamantine Governance Flow\
- Governance Artifact Examples (Real Artifacts)\
- Governance Review Contract\
- Governance Compatibility Proof Pack
Governance pipeline:
Adaptive Core
-> generates upgrade_proposal_v3
AdamantineOS
-> validates proposal artifacts
-> verifies deterministic proposal_hash invariants
-> evaluates governance policy
-> emits ac_review_receipt_v1
-> produces deterministic allow / deny decision.
WSQK v2 binds wallet authority to explicit quantum-security posture.
Documented proof path:
WSQK v2 is enforced through:
WSQK v2 authority proof
-> Q-ID classical/PQC posture binding
-> Truth Vector Authority (TVA) enforcement
-> Orchestrator/runtime propagation
-> deterministic allow / deny decision.
Every execution response includes a deterministic security posture.
- Q-ID missing or invalid
- Protected execution not requested
- Baseline evaluation only
- Q-ID valid
- Shield or Oracle incomplete
- Reduced security guarantees
- Q-ID valid
- Shield v3 valid
- Adaptive Core v3 Oracle valid
- All layers enforced
Protection mode semantics are regression locked in CI.
AdamantineOS v2 integrates DigiByte Q-ID with explicit runtime enforcement.
- Runtime may inject a
qid_verifiercryptographic hook - If provided, it is invoked before Q-ID session parsing
- Any verifier failure deterministically denies execution
- No silent downgrade path
- No implicit trust of unsigned evidence
Coverage remains 100%.
Adamantine enforces:
- Fail-closed evaluation
- Canonical Shield ordering
- No duplicate layers
- Strict version discipline
- No silent downgrade under policy
- Shield evidence can only strengthen deny
- Deterministic outputs for identical inputs
- Replay attempts deterministically denied when enforced
- Manifest drift fails CI
- Hash drift fails CI
- Proposal hash drift fails CI across Adaptive Core v3 compatibility vectors
- Governance receipt path remains deterministic once sealed
- WSQK v2 evidence families remain sorted, canonical, and hash-stable
- WSQK v2 cannot silently downgrade to v1 when v2 is required
If any invariant weakens, tests fail.
- Execution envelope contracts (v1 + v2)
- Orchestrator v2
- EQC evaluator
- WSQK v2 quantum-aware authority proof
- Shield v3 adapter
- Adaptive Core v3 adapter
- Adaptive Core v3 governance compatibility path
- Proposal review receipt boundary
- Q-ID adapter
