Protocol Overview
The CATGIRL Network protocol enables autonomous agents to operate with cryptographic sovereignty through hardware-based trusted execution environments. This specification defines the network layer protocols, message formats, cryptographic operations, and economic integration with the broader Arbius ecosystem.
