Quick start

package main

import (
    "context"
    "os"

    "github.com/GenesisMeshLabs/sdk-go/genesismesh"
)

func main() {
    client, err := genesismesh.NewClient(genesismesh.ClientOptions{
        BaseURL:    "http://127.0.0.1:9443",
        SigningKey: os.Getenv("OPERATOR_KEY"), // base64-encoded 32-byte Ed25519 seed
        KeyID:      "operator-local",          // must match the NA's registered key
    })
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    decision, err := client.Boundary.Decide(context.Background(), map[string]interface{}{
        "requesting_agent_id": "agent-a",
        "capability":          "transactions.read",
    })
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    _ = decision
}

Sub-clients

Agreement

// Create a capability offer (admin — requires signing key)
offer, err := client.Agreement.Offer(ctx, genesismesh.CapabilityOffer{
    OfferorSovereignID:   "ALPHA-NA",
    ResponderSovereignID: "BETA-NA",
    Capabilities:         []string{"read:data", "write:log"},
    Roles:                []string{"role:client"},
    ValidityHours:        8760,
})

// Counter an offer
counter, err := client.Agreement.Counter(ctx, map[string]interface{}{
    "offer":         offer,
    "capabilities":  []string{"read:data"},
    "validity_hours": 4380,
})

// Accept an offer (requires the NA to hold a recognition treaty for the responder)
agreement, err := client.Agreement.Accept(ctx, map[string]interface{}{"offer": offer})

// Verify agreement signatures (no auth required)
result, err := client.Agreement.Verify(ctx, map[string]interface{}{"agreement": agreement})

Boundary

// Issue a boundary decision (admin)
decision, err := client.Boundary.Decide(ctx, map[string]interface{}{
    "agreement":            agreement,
    "requested_capability": "read:data",
})

// Verify a boundary decision (no auth required)
v, err := client.Boundary.Verify(ctx, map[string]interface{}{"decision": decision})

Evidence

// Build signed trust evidence (admin)
// verdict must be one of: "allow" | "block" | "escalate" | "warn"
evidence, err := client.Evidence.Build(ctx, genesismesh.TrustDecision{
    SourceSovereignID: "ALPHA",
    TargetSovereignID: "BETA",
    Verdict:           "allow",
    Reason:            "long-standing member",
})

Attestation

// Issue a membership attestation (admin)
// roles must use a recognized prefix: role:anchor | role:bridge | role:client | role:operator | role:service:<name>
att, err := client.Attestation.Issue(ctx, genesismesh.MembershipAttestation{
    SubjectID:      "node-xyz",
    Roles:          []string{"role:client"},
    ValidityHours:  8760,
})

// Revoke an attestation (admin)
err = client.Attestation.Revoke(ctx, att.AttestationID, map[string]string{"reason": "key compromised"})

// Set recognition policy (admin)
err = client.Attestation.SavePolicy(ctx, genesismesh.RecognitionPolicy{
    LocalSovereignID:  "MY-NA",
    RecognizedIssuers: []genesismesh.RecognizedIssuer{},
})

Disclosure

// Commit to a set of capabilities (admin)
commitment, err := client.Disclosure.Commit(ctx, genesismesh.CapabilityCommitment{
    Capabilities: []string{"read:data", "write:log"},
})

// Generate a Merkle membership proof (no auth required)
proof, err := client.Disclosure.Prove(ctx, genesismesh.CapabilityMembershipProof{
    Capability:        "read:data",
    ProverSovereignID: "BETA",
})

// Issue a one-time nullifier (admin)
nullifier, err := client.Disclosure.Nullifier(ctx, map[string]interface{}{"proof": proof})

// Verify the proof (no auth required)
dv, err := client.Disclosure.Verify(ctx, map[string]interface{}{"proof": proof})

Consensus

// Cast a validator vote (admin)
vote, err := client.Consensus.Vote(ctx, genesismesh.ConsensusVote{
    Vote:   true,
    Reason: "evidence satisfactory",
})

// Assemble a consensus proof (admin)
cp, err := client.Consensus.Proof(ctx, genesismesh.ConsensusProof{
    RequiredThreshold:    1,
    ValidatorSovereignIDs: []string{"ALPHA"},
})

// Verify the consensus proof (no auth required)
cv, err := client.Consensus.Verify(ctx, map[string]interface{}{"proof": cp})

DataUsage

// Create a data license policy (admin)
pol, err := client.DataUsage.CreatePolicy(ctx, genesismesh.DataLicensePolicy{
    LicenseeSovereignID:   "BETA",
    AllowedSourceIDs:      []string{"src-a"},
    AllowedAccessTypes:    []string{"read", "aggregate"},
    ValidFrom:             "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z",
    ValidUntil:            "2026-12-31T00:00:00Z",
})

// Create a data access intent (admin)
// source_type: "personal" | "proprietary" | "public" | "synthetic"
intent, err := client.DataUsage.CreateIntent(ctx, genesismesh.DataAccessIntent{
    Sources: []genesismesh.DataSourceDescriptor{{
        SourceID:          "src-a",
        SourceType:        "public",
        OwnerSovereignID:  "MY-NA",
    }},
    AccessTypes: []string{"read"},
})

// Get the active policy (no auth required)
activePol, err := client.DataUsage.GetPolicy(ctx)

// Verify intent against policy (no auth required)
dv, err := client.DataUsage.Verify(ctx, map[string]interface{}{"intent": intent, "policy": pol})

Offline verification

From 0.61.0 the SDK verifies Network Authority records locally, using canonical JSON and Ed25519 only, without calling the NA. The reason codes are the Python reference's. Pass the JSON as received.

a, err := genesismesh.VerifyAgreement(agreementJSON, []string{offererKey}, []string{responderKey}, "")
// a.Accepted, a.Reason: "accepted", "invalid_offerer_signature", "graph_digest_mismatch", ...

d, err := genesismesh.VerifyBoundaryDecision(decisionJSON, genesismesh.DecisionVerifyOptions{
	OperatorPublicKeys:  []string{naPublicKey},
	ExpectedPolicies:    [][]byte{policyJSON},  // the decision must bind exactly these versions
	ExpectedAttestation: attestationJSON,       // optional
})
// d.Accepted (verified), d.Authorized (ALLOW or DENY), d.Reason

ok, err := genesismesh.VerifyDataLicensePolicySignature(policyJSON, []string{licensorKey})
v, err := genesismesh.VerifyDataAccessIntent(intentJSON, policyJSON, []string{agentKey}, time.Now())
// v.Valid, v.ViolationReason, v.Violations

An accepted DENY has Accepted true and Authorized false: the decision verified, and it denies. Revocation is not checked offline. CanonicalJSON, PolicyDigest, AttestationDigest and PolicySetDigest reproduce the reference forms. The verifiers pass the shared interop conformance vectors (genesismesh/testdata/conformance/interop.json), and the core's cross-language scenario runs them against a live NA.

Raw admin calls

For NA routes not yet covered by a sub-client (e.g. /admin/recognition-treaties), use BuildAdminHeaders directly:

import (
    "bytes"
    "encoding/json"
    "net/http"

    "github.com/GenesisMeshLabs/sdk-go/genesismesh"
)

priv, _, _ := genesismesh.LoadPrivateKey(os.Getenv("OPERATOR_KEY"))

body := map[string]interface{}{
    "subject_sovereign_id":  "BETA-NA",
    "subject_public_keys":   []string{"<base64-ed25519-pubkey>"},
    "scope":                 map[string]interface{}{"allowed_roles": []string{"role:client"}},
    "validity_hours":        24,
}

headers, err := genesismesh.BuildAdminHeaders(body, "operator-local", priv)

b, _ := json.Marshal(body)
req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", baseURL+"/admin/recognition-treaties", bytes.NewReader(b))
req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
req.Header.Set("X-Admin-Key-Id", headers.KeyID)
req.Header.Set("X-Admin-Signature", headers.Signature)
req.Header.Set("X-Admin-Timestamp", headers.Timestamp)
req.Header.Set("X-Admin-Nonce", headers.Nonce)

Error handling

import "errors"

_, err := client.Agreement.Offer(ctx, genesismesh.CapabilityOffer{})
switch {
case err == nil:
    // success
default:
    var unauthorized *genesismesh.UnauthorizedError
    var rateLimit    *genesismesh.RateLimitError
    var validation  *genesismesh.ValidationError
    var network     *genesismesh.NetworkError

    switch {
    case errors.As(err, &unauthorized):
        // bad signing key or stale timestamp
    case errors.As(err, &rateLimit):
        // back off and retry
    case errors.As(err, &validation):
        // inspect err.Code and err.Message
    case errors.As(err, &network):
        // connection refused or timeout — inspect err.Cause
    }
}

Admin authentication

Admin routes are authenticated with four HTTP headers built from an Ed25519 operator key:

Header	Description
X-Admin-Key-Id	Key identifier registered with the NA
X-Admin-Signature	Ed25519 signature over canonicalJSON({body, key_id, nonce, timestamp})
X-Admin-Timestamp	ISO 8601 UTC timestamp (must be within NA's nonce window)
X-Admin-Nonce	UUID v4 replay-protection token (single use)

The SDK handles all of this automatically when SigningKey is provided.
