What is ACTO?
ACTO is a robotics-first proof-of-execution toolkit that enables you to generate deterministic, cryptographically signed proofs from robot telemetry and execution logs.
The Problem
In robotics and automation, there's often no way to prove that a robot actually performed a task correctly. Traditional logging lacks:
- Integrity - Logs can be modified after the fact
- Authentication - No way to verify who/what generated the data
- Portability - Logs are often in proprietary formats
- Verifiability - No cryptographic guarantees
The Solution
ACTO provides a standardized protocol for creating execution proofs that are:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Deterministic | Same input always produces the same proof |
| Signed | Ed25519 signatures prove authenticity |
| Portable | JSON envelope format works everywhere |
| Verifiable | Verify proofs via the ACTO API |

└─────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘- Collect telemetry from your robot during task execution
- Create a proof using the SDK - this hashes and signs the data
- Verify via API to ensure integrity and register in the fleet
Key Components
SDK (pip install actobotics)
The Python SDK provides:
- Proof creation with Ed25519 signatures
- BLAKE3 hashing for deterministic digests
- Telemetry normalization and validation
- API client for verification and fleet management
API (api.actobotics.net)
The hosted API provides:
- Proof verification (required)
- Proof registry and search
- Fleet management
- Wallet statistics
- Token-gated access
Dashboard
Web-based interface for:
- API key management
- Fleet monitoring
- Statistics and analytics
- API playground
Use Cases
- Proof of Work - Prove robots completed assigned tasks
- Compliance - Audit trails for regulated industries
- Quality Assurance - Verify manufacturing processes
- Fleet Tracking - Monitor robot fleet health and activity
- Insurance - Provide evidence of proper operation
Token Gating
Access to the ACTO API requires holding 50,000 ACTO tokens in your Solana wallet. This ensures:
- Network sustainability
- Spam prevention
- Community alignment
