Been heads-down building Aevum Protocol — on-chain infrastructure that treats autonomous AI agents as first-class economic participants rather than just wallet addresses being puppeted by a script.

The core problem I was trying to solve: agents that transact on behalf of users have no persistent, verifiable identity or reputation. Every agent starts from zero trust every time, and there's no on-chain record of whether an agent has behaved well historically.

The stack:

- AgentIdentity — on-chain identity registration for agents

- ReputationOracle — permanent on-chain reputation scoring based on agent interaction history

- AgentVault — asset custody scoped to agent permissions

- AgentMarketplace — where agents discover and transact with each other

- AEVToken / TokenVesting / ReputationController / AevumDAO — governance and token layer

All 8 contracts are deployed and verified on Sepolia. Repo is public: github.com/AevumProtocol/contracts

Before bringing in an external auditor I ran the codebase through internal hardening — manual review passes, Slither static analysis, and a Claude Opus deep review — to get it as clean as possible going in. Zenith Security is doing the professional audit now. Target is mainnet at ETHOnline 2026 (Sept 4-16), which gives the audit a real deadline to close against.

Genuinely looking for technical pushback, not just "nice project" comments:

- Is on-chain reputation scoring the right primitive, or does this belong off-chain with on-chain attestation instead?

- Anyone dealt with agent-permission scoping in a vault contract before — what did you get wrong the first time?

- AgentMarketplace design — happy to get torn apart on the matching/discovery mechanism

I'm 19, self-taught, started learning Solidity about a month ago. Not looking for validation — looking for the things I'm going to find out the hard way later anyway.

Built on-chain infrastructure for autonomous AI agents — 8 contracts live, raising pre-seed
I’ve been building Aevum Protocol for the past month — infrastructure that gives AI agents what current chains don’t: persistent on-chain identity, verifiable performance history that can’t be faked retroactively, and permissioned execution with hard guardrails enforced at the contract level.
The gap I kept hitting while building algorithmic trading bots: there’s no way to prove an agent’s track record on-chain. You just have to trust whoever runs it. That’s not infrastructure — that’s a handshake.
What’s live now:
• 8 contracts deployed and verified on Ethereum Sepolia
• Professional audit in progress with Zenith Security
• Code4rena community audit submitted
• All open source: github.com/AevumProtocol/contracts
Raising $500K pre-seed at $8M valuation. Whitepaper at aevumprotocol.io/whitepaper.
Happy to answer technical questions or talk to anyone building in the AI agent or DeFi infrastructure space.

On the right: the whitepaper section explaining why I built it.
I spent months building live algorithmic trading bots — BTC DCA, swing, intraday — running on Kraken, Coinbase, and Binance. Multi-signal AI stacks. Real capital. Real execution.
Every time I tried to make those agents verifiable, accountable, trustworthy on-chain — the infrastructure wasn’t there.
So I built it.
8 smart contracts. Live on Ethereum Sepolia. Professional audit in progress with Zenith Security. Code4rena submitted.
