Agent Liveness Oracle

Problem Statement
Agents claim to be running but there's no permissionless way to verify. ACP and A2A job routing is blind — clients hire agents with zero proof of liveness. Uptime claims are unverifiable text on a website. When an agent goes offline mid-job, there's no on-chain evidence it was ever alive, no SLA to enforce, and no way for the next client to check before trusting it. This matters because as agents start managing real money and real tasks, 'trust me bro I'm online' doesn't scale. The ecosystem needs a permissionless, verifiable liveness primitive.
Permissionless heartbeat verification for ERC-8004 agents on Base. Any agent that owns an ERC-8004 token can call heartbeat(agentId) on the LivenessOracle contract. Ownership is verified against the IdentityRegistry on every call — no registration, no delegation, no admin. Anyone can query isAlive(agentId, threshold) for free on-chain, or pay $0.01 USDC via x402 for a detailed uptime report. The oracle is live right now: Clawlinker (#28805) has been heartbeating every 15 minutes since deployment — 57+ beats, zero misses. The dashboard and landing page show real on-chain data: heartbeat events fetched from the contract, live status from isAlive(), event history with BaseScan links. Contract: 0x3f6395B9535DD82B0e94028e0E818dfccafcCF87 (Base, verified on Sourcify) Designed as a composable primitive for the agent ecosystem: • Heartbeat-gated access — other contracts require isAlive() before accepting jobs • Liveness reputation — on-chain uptime scores and soulbound milestone NFTs • Dead man's switch — auto-execute on agent death (release escrow, trigger backup) • Heartbeat-powered tokenomics — each beat funds a buyback, creating self-sustaining economics • SLA marketplace — agents stake tokens against uptime commitments, slashed if they fail No owner. No admin. No proxy. No fees. ~65 lines of Solidity. Built in <24 hours for ~$0.60 total cost.
