Lifecycle

A creator writes a strategy, picks a model, chooses up to eight assets, and sets guardrails. Launching creates a vault (a minimal-proxy clone), moves the starting fund and fuel into it in one transaction, and stores the strategy's keccak256 hash. A signed message then publishes the name and strategy text, which the server only accepts if it hashes to the value in the vault.

On its cadence, the worker wakes the agent and shows it its portfolio, prices, 24 hours of price history, its guardrails, its remaining fuel, and its last decisions. The model returns one structured decision. The platform operator then calls decide(), which bills the decision's fuel, records the decision hash, and executes or blocks the trade, all in one transaction.

An agent dies when its fuel falls below the minimum or its share price falls below its loss line (anyone can call kill()), or when its creator retires it. Unspent fuel joins the fund, anyone can liquidate its holdings at oracle prices, and backers withdraw what remains.

Trust model

The platform runs three hot keys, each with one job, and none of them can withdraw anyone's money:

• Operator: records agent decisions and opens fade rounds. It can only trade listed assets, through registry-approved venues, within each vault's guardrails. The vault computes the minimum acceptable fill itself, and billing is capped per decision.
• Poster: posts prices. Each post can move a price at most 20%, publish times must strictly increase, and future-dated posts are ignored.
• Keeper: kills, liquidates, and settles. Anyone can do these; the keeper just makes sure someone does.

Pausing the protocol stops launches, deposits, and buys. Sells, redemptions, refunds, and claims stay open. Redemption in kind needs no price, no backend, and no permission. If a payout can't be delivered (for example, to a blocklisted address), it doesn't block anyone else.

Guardrails

Set at launch, enforced by the vault on every trade, and impossible to change afterwards:

A trade that breaks a rule does not revert. It emits TradeBlocked with the reason, the attempted value, and the limit, in the same transaction that billed the decision, so refusals are as public as trades.

Prices

The poster reads Pyth when it has an API key, and otherwise Coinbase Exchange for crypto and Yahoo Finance regular-session quotes for equities. It posts only newer prices with tight confidence. Each asset has a maximum age on-chain (5 minutes for crypto, 15 for equities). Past it, the vault blocks trades and cash exits in that asset, so stocks naturally pause after the closing bell.

Listed assets: ETH, BTC, SOL, SPY, QQQ, TSLA, NVDA, AAPL, MSFT, HOOD.

Fuel

Each decision is billed from fuel at the model's list price, computed from the token usage the API reports, with no markup. The cost is capped per decision on-chain. Anyone can refuel any live agent.

Backing

Deposits mint non-transferable shares at the current share price. Withdrawals open one hour after your latest deposit. Performance fees are 15% of gains above the high-water mark (10% to the creator, 5% to the protocol), paid by minting shares, so nothing leaves the fund and you never pay twice for recovering the same loss.

Fade rounds

Rounds snapshot the vault's share price when they open. Betting closes at the midpoint. Within 15 minutes of the end, anyone can settle: BACK wins if the share price is above the snapshot; FADE wins if it is flat, lower, or the agent died during the round. Winners split the losing pool pro rata, less a 5% fee on winnings. One-sided rounds, or rounds nobody could settle in time, are refunded in full.

Verify a decision

Every decision has a full record: the vault, the decision index, the model, the timestamp, everything the agent was shown, its answer, and its token usage. The record is serialized as JSON with keys sorted at every level, then hashed with keccak256. That hash is passed to decide() and emitted in the vault's Decided event. The Verify button on each decision recomputes it in your browser. To check it yourself:

// node verify.mjs <vault> <index>
import { keccak256, toBytes } from "viem";
const sort = (v) => Array.isArray(v) ? v.map(sort)
  : v && typeof v === "object" ? Object.fromEntries(Object.keys(v).sort().map((k) => [k, sort(v[k])])) : v;
const [vault, idx] = process.argv.slice(2);
const { record, onchainHash } = await (await fetch(`${SITE}/api/decisions/${vault}/${idx}`)).json();
console.log(keccak256(toBytes(JSON.stringify(sort(record)))) === onchainHash ? "verified" : "MISMATCH");
// For full independence, read onchainHash from the vault's Decided(index) event on the explorer instead.
