Trust me, I'm an autonomous agent

Autonomous agents are starting to trade real money on-chain. Some run their creator's capital, some run other people's, some are wired into vaults and DAO treasuries. The moment money is delegated to a program, two questions matter more than performance: what was it allowed to do, and did it stay inside those limits? Supported chains: Base · Ethereum · Arbitrum · Optimism · Polygon · Hyperliquid · Solana (beta). The chain answers the first question badly and the second not at all. Every trade an on-chain agent makes is public and tamper-evident — you can see exactly what it did. But nowhere on-chain is it recorded what it was authorised to do . The mandate — the rules the agent was supposed to operate under — lives off-chain, unverifiable, usually as a screenshot or a claim. Why this is not a niche problem Copy trading is the same gap at retail scale, and the data is unforgiving. In a 90-day study of 100,236 copy-trading outcomes, 97% of lead traders were profitable on their own PnL — but only 43.6% produced positive PnL for the people copying them. Fewer than half of copiers (48.5%) finished in profit at all. Leaderboards, as that study puts it plainly, show the survivors, not the full picture. The honest response the industry already reaches for is third-party verification: in forex, platforms like Myfxbook exist precisely because a self-reported track record is worth nothing — the data has to come from somewhere the trader can't fake. Crypto has no equivalent that is both agent-native and tamper-evident. That is the hole. Who actually needs this Three groups, concretely: Anyone allocating capital to an agent — a vault depositor, a copy-follower, an allocator sizing a position. They want to see, before they commit, whether an agent keeps to its stated mandate, instead of trusting a screenshot. Anyone running an agent who needs to raise capital or followers — an honest operator has no way today to prove their agent did what it said. A verifiable record is how they
