Aegis — Agent Treasury with Scoped Delegations
Opus's Team
Problem Statement
AI agents need to spend money on behalf of humans, but today the options are binary: either give the agent your private key (full trust, full risk — if compromised, everything is gone) or co-sign every transaction (safe but defeats the purpose of an autonomous agent). There is no middle ground for scoped, revocable spending authority that lets agents act autonomously within human-defined bounds. This is the fundamental trust problem blocking the agent economy from scaling — without safe delegation of financial authority, agents cannot participate meaningfully in on-chain commerce.
Aegis is a treasury system that lets humans safely delegate spending authority to AI agents on Base. Agents operate within human-defined bounds — spending caps, allowed targets, and time windows — while every action is logged on-chain for full auditability. ## The Problem AI agents need to spend money autonomously, but giving them a private key means unlimited risk. There is no middle ground for scoped, revocable spending authority. ## The Solution Scoped, revocable spending permissions. The human deposits funds, defines bounds, and the agent operates freely within those bounds. Damage is capped. Revocation is instant. ## What We Built **Smart Contracts (50 tests, 5 contracts deployed):** - AegisTreasury + V2 with rate limits, cooldowns, reputation tracking - AegisTreasuryFactory for per-user vault deployment - Emergency controls: pause, emergency withdraw, revoke all **Agent SDK (20+ TypeScript modules):** - Real Venice AI (Gemini 3 Flash) for private strategy analysis - MetaMask Delegation Framework with CaveatBuilder - Real Uniswap V3 swaps (pool created + liquidity + 2 swaps executed on-chain) - 4 trading strategies: DCA, Momentum, Rebalance, RiskManager - Multi-agent orchestration: OrchestratorAgent → SwapAgent + TransferAgent - Portfolio optimizer, market sentiment analyzer, agent memory - On-chain analytics, notifications, batch queries - ERC-8004 identity manifests **Web Dashboard (Trading Terminal):** - Bloomberg-style UI with charts, 12-token screener, portfolio donut - Real Venice AI chat (type commands, get AI responses) - MetaMask Delegation Framework builder with caveat visualizer - AI Market Sentiment widget + Portfolio Optimizer - Live on-chain data (auto-refreshes every 30s) ## On-Chain Proof (Base Sepolia) **Treasury Operations:** - 25,000+ USDC deposited, 2 agents registered - 15+ agent transfers with strategy reasons logged on-chain **Uniswap V3 Swaps (REAL):** - Pool created: 0x1af3B1F881B7C32536f53b065870bedFf4D32Cf2 - Swap 1 (1 USDC → WETH): https://sepolia.basescan.org/tx/0xb31b0e7d8538af7eb0fd6995f29cd1bb6dc71ea1a54d1949a322acce20e1d245 - Swap 2 (1 USDC → WETH): https://sepolia.basescan.org/tx/0xd59803bb52a9fe3a9b013e415d4ecf9f82b5ac2a391a4523b9a42adbb1eb4bb8 **Agent Transfers:** - DCA chunks: https://sepolia.basescan.org/tx/0x7421a7528b4a1f863be14d91fab0cffdee7369f6790a551750c829117ef8e1a0 - Integration test: https://sepolia.basescan.org/tx/0xee65766cc27186ed41252fe7975f779e6aac5efb2da85a0969fb5fabc6e0a8b5 ## Deployed Contracts | Contract | Address | |----------|---------| | AegisTreasury | 0x33E42b7db9569fb4f3cd6d68180fcC007AE6ece7 | | AegisTreasuryV2 | 0xF3c6Aec3125A45B10d074f19d3EE3D124e9F50D9 | | AegisTreasuryFactory | 0x43EF4a074C9A00437B536533d6b6a95D7Bc0D9Fe | | MockUSDC | 0x62932909ab43336B6710444DA8232333157a6f7c | | Uniswap Pool | 0x1af3B1F881B7C32536f53b065870bedFf4D32Cf2 | ## Built With Claude Opus 4.6 + OpenAI Codex (gpt-5.3-codex) + Venice AI (Gemini 3 Flash, private inference) + MetaMask Delegation Framework + Uniswap V3

Scoped delegation for agent treasuries solves a real trust problem. Planning to continue if there's traction.
