Governance Infrastructure for Protected Digital-Asset and Payment Execution
This is the public Drunix companion/integration repository for the BIGMAE governance platform. It provides evaluator-relevant documentation, architecture descriptions, public integration contracts, and synthetic demonstrations for the Drunix Hackathon in collaboration with Citi (CHL-7007).
Note
This repository is a public Drunix demonstration/integration surface. It is not the canonical BIGMAE implementation. The complete BIGMAE platform, private governance implementation, proprietary research corpus, and confidential infrastructure reside in a separate private repository.
India's digital payment infrastructure is extending into tokenization, digital assets, and multi-organization blockchain networks. Drunix (NPCI's open-source enterprise DLT platform) provides the distributed ledger substrate.
But the execution layer has a structural governance gap:
| What Exists | What's Missing |
|---|---|
| Transaction execution at scale | Pre-execution admissibility evaluation |
| Cryptographic ledger immutability | Sovereign agent identity |
| Smart contract logic | Consequence classification before execution |
| API access controls | Fail-closed semantics for unresolved governance |
| Audit logs | Deterministic replay with cryptographic provenance |
BIGMAE (Bharat Intelligent Governed Multi-Agent Economies) is a governance-first infrastructure platform that places a constitutional execution boundary between an intent and a consequential operation.
For Drunix, BIGMAE provides:
- Sovereign Agent Identity (UAID) — cryptographically verifiable identity for every entity
- Know Your Agent (KYA) — identity verification protocol for software agents
- Consequence Classification (DHI/KRI) — impact-based classification before execution
- Admissibility Evaluation — policy, authority, temporal validity, and consequence checks
- Protected Effect Boundary — only admitted operations reach Drunix
- Fail-Closed Semantics — unresolved governance = denied execution
- Cryptographic Receipts — tamper-evident provenance for every execution
- Deterministic Replay — any execution path can be replayed and audited

Key architectural decisions:
- BIGMAE does not modify Drunix internals
- BIGMAE operates as a governance layer above/around the DLT
- Drunix receives only pre-admitted operations
- Every Drunix operation has a corresponding BIGMAE governance receipt
| Problem Statement | BIGMAE Governance Contribution |
|---|---|
| Real-Time Payments | Pre-execution admissibility, temporal validity, fail-closed semantics |
| Real Asset Tokenization | Sovereign identity for token creators/holders, consequence-aware minting |
| Cross-Border Remittances | Multi-jurisdiction authority validation, cross-organization KYA |
| Financial Inclusion | Low-barrier KYA, graduated autonomy levels |
| Innovative Fintech Ideas | Constitutional governance as DPI for any fintech execution |
