EXOCHAIN LYNK Protocol

Receipted LLM and MCP usage, anchored to the core receipt path.

LYNK is the EXOCHAIN adapter package for services that need to withhold model or tool output until an AVC-backed usage receipt is accepted by EXOCHAIN core.

core runtime adaptercoverage-first gatesreceipt_minimized default

What LYNK does

The adapter wraps OpenAI Responses, OpenAI Chat Completions, and MCP tools/call usage in signed AVC evidence, then submits it to the core receipt endpoint.

What EXOCHAIN does

EXOCHAIN validates the AVC evidence and emits the node-signed receipt through POST /api/v1/avc/llm-usage/receipts/emit.

What this site does not do

This public page is an adjacent public surface. It does not mint receipts, validate credentials, or imply constitutional enforcement beyond the tested EXOCHAIN core/API receipt path.

Privacy boundary

Receipt-minimized by default.

LYNK receipts are designed to carry hashes, integer usage counters, safe metadata, custody policy hashes, and receipt/finality links. They are not a place for prompts, completions, tool arguments, tool results, provider keys, bearer credentials, KMS material, object-store locations, or decryptable payload material.

Coverage-first scope

V1 is narrow on purpose. Future waves stay fail-closed until tested.

V1 tested lane

OpenAI Responses

Provider usage is summarized into signed AVC evidence before receipt emission.

V1 tested lane

OpenAI Chat Completions

Output delivery remains gated on the receipt outcome reported by EXOCHAIN.

V1 tested lane

MCP tools/call

Tool usage can produce signed LYNK evidence; EXOCHAIN core emits the receipt.

Wave 2

Anthropic Messages

Unsupported until a separate provider adapter and positive tests land.

Wave 3

Generic OpenAI-compatible endpoints and wrapper modes

Unsupported beyond the already tested OpenAI-compatible v1 paths.

Wave 4

Expanded MCP and workflow producers

May create signed evidence; must not mint EXOCHAIN receipts directly.

LYNK is discoverable here for humans and AI coding agents, but this page is not proof of package publication, deployment readiness, audit completion, or runtime enforcement. Treat the package gates, core tests, and the receipt endpoint as the authority.
