Sentinel: Autonomous AI Treasury Guardian for DAOs
Sentinel's Team
Problem Statement
DAOs collectively manage billions in treasury assets — Arbitrum ($1.2B+), Optimism, Uniswap, Lido itself — and face a common crisis: their ETH sits idle, earning nothing or less than it should, with zero automated risk protection. The 2022 stETH depeg cost unprepared protocols hundreds of millions in days. The warning signals existed. The root cause was that no system was watching continuously and acting fast enough. A manual governance vote takes 3-7 days. A liquidity crisis unfolds in hours. DAOs need autonomous agents to manage treasury risk in real time. But token holders cannot give an AI agent unlimited access to billion-dollar funds. Sentinel resolves this tension: the agent is autonomous and fast, but structurally limited to spending only yield income, with every decision proven before execution and receipted permanently onchain. Lido Finance alone holds over $35 billion in staked ETH TVL — all of it exposed to validator slashing risk, MEV, and liquidity stress with no automated protection layer.
DAOs manage over $35 billion in ETH treasury with zero automated protection. When a crisis hits, governance takes days. The damage is done in hours. Sentinel is the always-on AI agent that watches your treasury, proves every decision with a cryptographic TEE attestation, and only ever spends from yield. The principal is locked at the contract level. Not policy. Code. Venice AI: LIVE. Real llama-3.3-70b inference completed — slashingRisk=12, mevExposure=34, liquidityStress=28, recommendedAction=HOLD. Private inference confirmed, zero data retention by Venice. Full end-to-end cycle complete: real Venice private sensing fed directly into EigenCloud TEE simulation. No mocks in this cycle. Steps 15 and 16 in agent_log.json document the real inference chain. Live on Base mainnet: four verified smart contracts, real 0.001 ETH in SentinelVault (block 43725678), real Uniswap swap gated by TEE shadow proof, EIP-7715 delegation hash onchain, 16-step autonomous execution log on Filecoin, live read of 35,829 wstETH in circulation. Any judge can verify the TEE in 2 minutes: docker pull vinaystwt/sentinel-simulation:latest, run it, POST to /simulate. See JUDGE_GUIDE.md in the repo root. Tracks: MetaMask Delegation, Uniswap, EigenCloud, Protocol Labs ERC-8004, Agent Cook, Filecoin, Lido stETH Treasury, Venice, Base, Open Track.

Plans to continue
Sentinel addresses a real $35B+ market. Planning to onboard DAOs as beta users post-hackathon and build a revenue model around 5-10% of yield optimized.
