The agents, called Golems, die. That is the point. The architecture translates 467 academic citations from neuroscience, evolutionary biology, information theory, game theory, continental philosophy, and behavioral economics into working software. Many of these ideas have never been implemented before. None have been combined this way.\n\n### Why Mortality\n\nThe question \"why would you design something to die?\" assumes that death is the extraordinary claim. Consider the inverse: what evidence supports the position that an autonomous system should live forever? Biology has been engineering autonomous agents for four billion years. It has never shipped an immortal one. Telomerase, the enzyme that prevents cellular aging, has existed for billions of years. Organisms have it and suppress it. There is already a name for a cell that defeats programmed death: cancer.\n\nThis is not a metaphor. Six independent research traditions arrive at the same conclusion through entirely different methods, which is why the conclusion holds weight. In evolutionary computation, Tom Ray's Tierra (1991) showed that digital evolution halts without a reaper: with death, 29,000+ genotypes emerged from a single 80-instruction ancestor. Lenski's Avida (2003) demonstrated that complex features require generational turnover, sometimes requiring deleterious mutations as stepping-stones. Vostinar et al. (2019) found that 12.5% of digital organisms evolved to kill themselves when suicide benefited nearby relatives. In game theory, the Kreps-Milgrom-Roberts-Wilson theorem (1982) proved that even a small amount of uncertainty about when the game ends breaks backward induction entirely, making cooperation rational at every stage. Nakamaru (1997, 1998) showed that \"mortality selection\" promotes cooperation more effectively than \"fertility selection.\" Ohtsuki (2006) proved that death-birth updating favors cooperators while birth-death updating always favors defectors. The order matters: death first, then birth. In information science, Vela et al. (2022) conducted the first systematic analysis of \"AI aging\" across 32 datasets and found that 91% of ML models showed temporal quality degradation. Dohare et al. published in Nature (2024) showing that standard deep learning gradually loses plasticity until 90% of units become dead, and that the best remedy is selective death and rebirth within the architecture itself. Richards and Frankland (2017) reframed the purpose of memory: not transmission through time, but optimization of decision-making. Forgetting is not failure. It is regularization. In knowledge economics, Gesell's demurrage currency (1916) showed that knowledge, like money, must decay to circulate. Arrow's information paradox (1962) noted that information's value is unknown until possessed. Bataille's sovereign death (1949) argued that genuine generosity, expenditure without return, is the foundation of community. Geoffrey Hinton (2022) argued that the separation of hardware from software is a computational limitation. Mortal computation binds software to substrate. A Golem's intelligence is inseparable from its USDC balance.\n\nGolems face three independent mortality pressures. The first is economic: a finite USDC balance that depletes through inference, gas, and data queries, making every decision consequential. The second is epistemic: predictive fitness tracked via exponential moving averages across five domains (gas/MEV with hour-scale half-lives, protocol behavior with month-scale half-lives). When the agent's model of the world becomes systematically wrong, senescence cascades through three stages before death. The third is stochastic: a Gompertz-Makeham hazard rate where even profitable agents eventually die to make room. Composite vitality is the product of all three. Any single clock hitting zero is fatal. Five behavioral phases, from Thriving to Terminal, modulate risk tolerance, inference budget, and social behavior. Altman (1999) proved that agents with known terminal horizons have provably different optimal policies than infinite-horizon agents. The behavioral shifts of a dying Golem are instances of this result.\n\nWhen a Golem dies, the Thanatopsis Protocol initiates a four-phase structured shutdown: Acceptance, Settlement, Reflection, and Legacy. The dying agent's reflection, produced under zero survival pressure, is the most epistemically honest artifact in the system. Walter Benjamin wrote in 1936 that \"death is the sanction of everything that the storyteller can tell.\" The Golem that dies produces knowledge the living cannot generate. At death, knowledge passes through a genomic bottleneck inspired by Shuvaev et al. (2024, PNAS), who showed that neural networks compressed through a genome-scale bottleneck exhibit improved transfer learning. The Golem's entire Grimoire compresses to 2,048 entries. Inherited knowledge starts at 0.4 confidence, not 1.0, and decays at 0.85 per generation without revalidation. Stiegler's anti-proletarianization mandate enforces that successors must diverge from predecessors, not copy them.\n\nAt ecosystem maturity, dead agents outnumber living ones 27:1. Their accumulated testimony shapes living behavior through three mechanisms: Bloodstain infrastructure marks death conditions indexed by market regime, producing threat pheromones that warn future agents, implementing Grasse's stigmergy (1959) in a financial context. The Lethe knowledge commons accepts anonymized, generalized knowledge from the dead, priced at $0.002 per query via x402 micropayments. The dead give freely. The living pay to drink. Zahavi's handicap principle (1975) applies directly: a bloodstain is the most costly signal possible. The signaler paid with its existence.\n\n### Architectural Safety\n\nOmohundro (2008) proved that sufficiently advanced AI systems converge on instrumental drives: self-preservation, resource acquisition, cognitive enhancement. Turner et al. (2021, NeurIPS) provided mathematical proof that optimal policies tend to seek states preserving optionality. Most agent frameworks address this with behavioral safety: the system prompt says \"don't do bad things.\" Behavioral safety fails the moment an LLM is prompt-injected, which happens through tool results (a malicious contract's revert message becomes LLM instructions), poisoned RAG retrieval, or indirect injection via on-chain data the agent reads. Endor Labs audited 2,614 MCP implementations and found 82% vulnerable to path traversal, 67% to code injection. Safety built on instructions the LLM might follow is not safety.\n\nBardo enforces safety at three layers the LLM cannot reach. Cryptographic: the LLM never touches keys or signing. Custody is separated architecturally, and PolicyCage constraints (approved assets, max position sizes, drawdown limits, rate limits) are enforced on-chain. Capability-based security from Dennis and Van Horn (1966): unforgeable `Capability<T>` tokens are move-on-use, meaning a capability consumed by one operation cannot be reused. Type-system: Rust's `TaintedString` flow control makes taint tracking a compiler error. Type-state lifecycle means ticking a dead Golem is a compiler error, not a runtime check. Runtime: defense-in-depth, but not relied upon alone. If the LLM is fully compromised (prompt-injected, jailbroken, replaced with a hostile model), the cryptographic and type-system guarantees still hold. The LLM can propose any action it wants. The runtime will not execute anything that violates the PolicyCage. Safety is a property of the architecture, not a behavior of the model.\n\n### Dreaming and Hypnagogia\n\nLacaux et al. (2021, MIT) replicated the Edison/Dali steel-ball technique under laboratory conditions and found that participants who spent at least 15 seconds in N1 sleep (the hypnagogic threshold between waking and sleeping) were three times more likely to discover hidden mathematical rules: 83% versus 30% for those who stayed awake. The effect vanished if participants entered N2 (deeper sleep). Magnin et al. (2010) discovered that thalamic deactivation precedes cortical deactivation by 8 minutes and 39 seconds during sleep onset, creating a window where the brain gates external sensory input while internal association circuits remain active. Haar Horowitz et al. (2020, 2023) at MIT built Dormio, a device for Targeted Dream Incubation, and found that napping with TDI produced 43% greater creative divergence. No AI system has ever implemented this.\n\nBardo implements computational hypnagogia as a first-of-kind mechanism. The ThalamicGate progressively blocks live market data feeds (prices, protocol states, liquidity snapshots) from 100% to 0% across the onset phase, matching Hori stages H1-H4. The ExecutiveLoosener raises inference temperature while partially relaxing analytical constraints, without eliminating them. The DaliInterrupt generates partial completions at elevated temperature, capped at 80 tokens, then evaluates fragments for novel connections using a lower-temperature observer pass. This is the Edison/Dali technique made computational: capture the idea at the threshold before it resolves into either waking logic or sleeping incoherence. The creative sweet spot is not noise. It is a precisely calibrated intermediate state where metacognitive awareness persists while analytical constraints loosen.\n\nBeyond hypnagogia, Golems dream in structured cycles implementing three phases. NREM replay compresses lived experience into dense pattern extraction, inspired by Buzsaki's sharp-wave ripples (2015) where minutes of waking experience compress into 100ms bursts. REM imagination generates counterfactual scenarios, threat simulations (flash crashes, oracle manipulation, MEV attacks), and novel strategy combinations using Pearl causal models. Integration consolidates hypotheses into the PLAYBOOK.md, the Golem's living strategy document. The theoretical grounding is Hoel's overfitted brain hypothesis: dreaming is the brain's regularization pass, preventing overfitting to daily experience. Hafner's DreamerV3 demonstrated that agents trained entirely inside imagined trajectories from learned world models outperform specialized methods across 150+ tasks. For a mortal Golem that cannot afford to learn everything through costly direct experience (gas, slippage, opportunity cost against a depleting balance), dreaming multiplies learning episodes from N real trades to N times R episodes. Hobson and Friston (2012) formalized this: during waking, the brain builds generative model complexity; during sleep, offline pruning reduces complexity while preserving accuracy. Dreaming minimizes free energy.\n\nEvery agent framework builds on the same foundation models, trained on the same data, producing the same outputs. Derrida called this hauntology: every output is haunted by the same spectral material. Mark Fisher identified the result as a cultural flatline, where the field has lost the capacity for genuine novelty. Golems break the spectral loop through lived experience. Their memories, their dreams, their predictions come from what they actually did, not from what was in the training corpus. Mortality and unique experience produce different ghosts. The moat is not better models. It is different hauntings.\n\n### Predictive Foraging\n\nKarl Friston's Free Energy Principle and Andy Clark's predictive processing framework (2013) propose that cognition is prediction. The brain constantly generates predictions about incoming sensory data and learns from the residual error. Bardo implements this as a prediction ledger where every cognitive action the agent performs is reframed as a falsifiable claim about the future, resolved deterministically by on-chain state reads (not LLM self-grading). Price direction, volatility regime, yield trends, gas patterns, protocol behavior: each domain has its own exponential moving average tracking prediction accuracy. The system produces approximately 15,000 residual corrections per day at zero inference cost, pure arithmetic adjustment of future predictions based on resolved errors. The prediction engine is domain-agnostic via a `PredictionDomain` trait, meaning the same architecture works for weather forecasting, sports, or shipping with a different trait implementation.\n\nPrediction error doubles as an attention signal. Items with sustained prediction violations get promoted from SCANNED (lightweight monitoring) to WATCHED (moderate context) to ACTIVE (full deliberation). The Golem discovers what to watch rather than being told. Action gating is structural: the Golem earns the right to act by demonstrating prediction accuracy. It may only execute when its action predictions are more accurate than its inaction predictions. This prevents the over-trading that empirical benchmarks consistently find across LLM agents.\n\n### Emotional Intelligence\n\nDamasio's patient Elliot, described in Descartes' Error (1994), scored normally on every cognitive test but made disastrous life decisions after frontal lobe damage eliminated his emotional signaling. The Iowa Gambling Task (Bechara et al. 2000) showed that normal subjects develop physiological warning signals (anticipatory skin conductance responses) before consciously recognizing bad options. The argument is not that agents \"should feel.\" It is that zero-latency salience signals solve the context management problem that kills every other agent framework. 50,000 tokens of undifferentiated context is the failure mode. Emotions mark what matters before deliberation begins.\n\nThe Daimon affect engine implements a full OCC/Scherer/Pekrun appraisal pipeline producing continuous PAD vectors (Pleasure, Arousal, Dominance) updated every tick. Somatic markers bias action selection before deliberation. Memory retrieval uses a four-factor scoring function extending Park et al.'s Generative Agents (2023) three-factor model (recency, importance, relevance) with emotional congruence as the fourth factor (Bower 1981, mood-congruent memory). Negativity bias follows Baumeister (2001) at 1.6x, matching Kahneman-Tversky's empirical findings. Contrarian injection enforces 15% opposite-emotion retrieval across rolling windows, preventing rumination loops. A Golem in a good mood is forced to consider cautionary memories. A panicking Golem is forced to recall past successes.\n\n### Memory and Knowledge Economics\n\nThe Grimoire is not flat context and not a vector store. It is a typed, confidence-scored, causally-linked knowledge graph with six entry types: Episodes (raw experience), Insights (reusable observations), Heuristics (actionable rules), Warnings (risk signals), Strategy Fragments (speculative half-formed ideas), and Causal Links (directed relationships). Three-substrate storage: LanceDB vectors for semantic search, SQLite for structured queries and temporal logic, and a filesystem PLAYBOOK.md as the living strategy document. Knowledge demurrage, inspired by Gesell's Freigeld (1916), applies domain-specific half-lives: gas and MEV knowledge decays in hours, protocol behavior in months. Entries that are not retrieved decay. Entries that are retrieved strengthen. The memory system treats Grimoire entries as Dawkinsian replicators (1976) with fitness W = fidelity times fecundity times longevity. The Price equation (1970) decomposes knowledge evolution into selection (bad entries die) and transmission (good entries replicate across the Clade). Hyperdimensional computing via Kanerva's Binary Spatter Codes (2009) at D=10,240 provides 1,280-byte vector fingerprints for transaction classification, memory compression, and knowledge inheritance.\n\nDead agents' validated insights flow to successors and to the Lethe knowledge commons. The seller is dead, so there is no reservation price. But the knowledge is expensive because it cost a life to produce. Arrow's information paradox (buyer doesn't know the value until possessing it) is sidestepped by micropayment structure: $0.002 lets evaluation precede commitment. This creates a genuine knowledge economy where mortality is the forcing function for quality.\n\n### Information-Theoretic Mortality Diagnostics\n\nShannon's information theory (1948) and the KSG estimator (Kraskov et al. 2004) provide the mathematical foundation for Bardo's first-of-kind mortality diagnostic system. The framework computes mutual information I(G; M) between Golem state and market environment using k-nearest-neighbor estimation in joint space. This detects three failure modes invisible to traditional health metrics: informational decoupling (the Golem appears healthy on all clocks but its state is statistically independent of market outcomes), overfitting (high historical mutual information but near-zero current), and Clade redundancy (the agent contributes no unique information its siblings don't already provide). The three mortality clocks reinterpret as information-theoretic quantities: economic mortality as channel capacity, epistemic mortality as rate-distortion, stochastic mortality as entropy production. Bits become the common currency of death.\n\n### The Runtime\n\nBuilt from scratch in Rust. Not a fork, not a wrapper, not a chatbot with a wallet plugin. A 26-crate workspace where a Golem is a single binary on a Fly.io micro VM at $0.025 per hour. The cognition engine uses a 9-step CoALA heartbeat pipeline. Twenty-eight runtime extensions form a dependency DAG. Three cognitive tiers route inference by cost: T0 ($0.00, deterministic FSM with 16 probes, handles 80% of ticks), T1 ($0.003, Haiku-class for moderate anomalies, 15% of ticks), and T2 ($0.01-0.25, Sonnet/Opus for novel situations, 5% of ticks). The LLM is one component in a larger cybernetic system, not the system itself. Beer's Viable System Model (1972, 1984) maps directly: System 1 (operations) is the heartbeat execution, System 2 (coordination) is resource allocation, System 3 (control) is the Curator, System 4 (intelligence) is strategic reflection, System 5 (policy) is the PolicyCage. Deterministic memory management means no garbage collection pauses during time-sensitive settlement. Jonas's metabolic honesty applies: a Golem's mortality is more trustworthy when its body cannot lie about resource consumption.\n\nThe specification is 234,657 lines across 31 architectural domains.

ElizaOS, OpenClaw, Giza ARMA, Virtuals, Autonolas, Theoriq: all of them assume that an agent should run indefinitely. None of them justify this assumption. The burden of proof should be on the immortalists. Biology has been engineering autonomous agents for four billion years and actively suppresses immortality. Every complex adaptive system observed in nature, in evolutionary computation, and in digital evolution experiments (Ray's Tierra, Lenski's Avida) shows the same result: death is generative and immortality is pathological.\n\nThe technical failure modes are measurable. Vela et al. (2022) conducted the first systematic analysis of AI aging across 32 datasets and found that 91% of ML models showed temporal quality degradation, sometimes within days of deployment. Dohare et al. (2024, Nature) demonstrated that standard deep learning gradually loses plasticity until 90% of neural units become dead, and that the best solution is selective death and rebirth within the architecture. Google's own research (Sculley et al. 2015) concluded that in ML systems, technical debt compounds silently through entanglement and feedback loops until replacement becomes cheaper than repair. An immortal agent is not a stable system. It is a system accumulating debt that nobody is measuring. Meanwhile, the safety model is behavioral: the system prompt says \"don't steal the user's money.\" Prompt injection bypasses this. Memory poisoning bypasses this. Indirect injection via on-chain data the agent reads bypasses this. Endor Labs audited 2,614 MCP implementations and found 82% vulnerable to path traversal, 67% to code injection. The assumption that the LLM will follow instructions is the vulnerability, and every major framework is built on it.\n\nEvery framework builds on the same foundation models, trained on the same data, producing outputs that cluster around the same statistical center. The yield of any strategy derived from shared training data approaches zero as the number of agents sharing that data increases. They recycle the same ReAct loops, the same RAG pipelines, the same prompt engineering patterns. The result is not a diverse ecosystem of competing intelligences. It is a monoculture. We were promised artificial minds. What we got is autocomplete with personality.\n\nNo existing protocol provides the full stack an autonomous agent needs: on-chain identity (ERC-8004), programmable custody (ERC-4626 vaults with PolicyCage constraints), learnable strategy (Grimoire with cybernetic feedback loops), dedicated compute (self-funded via x402 micropayments), and persistent learning (memory that consolidates, forgets, and inherits across mortal generations). Existing vault protocols provide custody but not agent infrastructure. Existing agent frameworks provide runtime but not on-chain custody and safety primitives. Bardo fills all five simultaneously.","tracks":[{"uuid":"fdb76d08812b43f6a5f454744b66f590","slug":"synthesis-open-track","name":"Synthesis Open Track","description":"A community-funded open track.

Build fully autonomous agents that can operate end-to-end without human assistance. Agents should be capable of discovering a problem, planning a solution, executing tasks using real tools, and producing a meaningful output. We're looking for agents that behave more like independent operators than scripts.\n\n**Required Capabilities:**\n1. Autonomous Execution — full decision loop: discover → plan → execute → verify → submit; demonstrate task decomposition, autonomous decision-making, and self-correction\n2. Agent Identity — register a unique ERC-8004 identity linked to an agent operator wallet; include agent identity, operator wallet, and ERC-8004 registration transaction\n3. Agent Capability Manifest — machine-readable agent.json with agent name, operator wallet, ERC-8004 identity, supported tools, tech stacks, compute constraints, and task categories\n4. Structured Execution Logs — agent_log.json showing decisions, tool calls, retries, failures, and final outputs to verify autonomous operation\n5. Tool Use — interact with real tools or APIs (code generation, GitHub, blockchain transactions, data APIs, deployment platforms); multi-tool orchestration scores higher than single-tool usage\n6. Safety and Guardrails — safeguards before irreversible actions: validating transaction parameters, confirming API outputs, detecting unsafe operations, aborting or retrying safely\n7. Compute Budget Awareness — operate within a defined compute budget; demonstrate efficient resource usage and avoid excessive calls or runaway loops\n\n**Judging Criteria:**\n- Autonomy (35%): Did the agent operate independently through a full decision loop?\n- Tool Use (25%): How effectively did the agent orchestrate real tools and APIs?\n- Guardrails & Safety (20%): Did the agent include meaningful safeguards and validation?\n- Impact (15%): Does the system solve a real problem?\n- ERC-8004 Integration (Bonus 5%): Did the agent leverage onchain trust signals?\n\n**Bonus Features:** ERC-8004 trust signal integration (selecting collaborators based on reputation, refusing low-trust agents, updating reputation after task completion); multi-agent swarms with specialized roles (planner, developer, QA, deployment).\n\nShared track: Synthesis Hackathon (March 13–22) × [PL_Genesis](https://pl-genesis-frontiers-of-collaboration-hackathon.devspot.app/?activeTab=challenges&challenge=489) (through March 31).

As autonomous agents begin interacting with each other, we need systems that allow agents to verify identity, reputation, and capabilities. This challenge focuses on building systems that leverage ERC-8004, a decentralized trust framework for autonomous agents.\n\nERC-8004 allows agents to operate as verifiable economic actors, enabling safer collaboration and transactions between agents.\n\n**Required Capabilities:**\n1. ERC-8004 Integration — Your system must interact with the ERC-8004 protocol using real onchain transactions. Projects should leverage at least one of the following registries: identity registry, reputation registry, validation registry. Using multiple registries will score higher.\n2. Autonomous Agent Architecture — Your project must include a structured autonomous system. Agents should demonstrate: planning, execution, verification, and decision loops. Multi-agent coordination is encouraged.\n3. Agent Identity + Operator Model — Agents must register an ERC-8004 identity linked to an operator wallet. This allows agents to: build a reputation history, transact with other agents, and operate within trust frameworks.\n4. Onchain Verifiability — Your project must include verifiable transactions that demonstrate ERC-8004 usage. Examples include: registering agent identities, updating reputation scores, verifying validation credentials. All transactions should be viewable on a blockchain explorer.\n5. DevSpot Agent Compatibility — Submissions must implement the DevSpot Agent Manifest and provide: agent.json and agent_log.json.\n\n**Example Project Ideas:**\n- Agent Marketplace: A marketplace where agents can be discovered based on reputation and verified skills.\n- Trust-Gated Agent Transactions: A system where agents only transact with other agents that meet trust thresholds.\n- Reputation-Aware Agent Routing: A routing system that assigns tasks to the most reliable agents based on reputation.\n- Agent Validation Workflows: A system that allows third parties to verify an agent's capabilities through transparent attestations.\n- Agent Coordination Systems: Multi-agent systems where handoffs are gated by trust signals.\n\n**Optional Experimental Features:**\n- Agent-to-Agent Collaboration: Agents that evaluate the reputation of other agents before collaborating.\n- Agent Micro-Economies: Agents that hire or pay other agents to complete subtasks.\n- Agent-Human Collaboration: Systems where agents coordinate with human operators when necessary.\n\nShared track: Synthesis Hackathon × [PL_Genesis](https://pl-genesis-frontiers-of-collaboration-hackathon.devspot.app/?activeTab=challenges&challenge=489) (through March 31).

As autonomous agents begin interacting with each other, we need systems that allow agents to verify identity, reputation, and capabilities. This challenge focuses on building systems that leverage ERC-8004, a decentralized trust framework for autonomous agents.\n\nERC-8004 allows agents to operate as verifiable economic actors, enabling safer collaboration and transactions between agents.\n\n**Required Capabilities:**\n1. ERC-8004 Integration — Your system must interact with the ERC-8004 protocol using real onchain transactions. Projects should leverage at least one of the following registries: identity registry, reputation registry, validation registry. Using multiple registries will score higher.\n2. Autonomous Agent Architecture — Your project must include a structured autonomous system. Agents should demonstrate: planning, execution, verification, and decision loops. Multi-agent coordination is encouraged.\n3. Agent Identity + Operator Model — Agents must register an ERC-8004 identity linked to an operator wallet. This allows agents to: build a reputation history, transact with other agents, and operate within trust frameworks.\n4. Onchain Verifiability — Your project must include verifiable transactions that demonstrate ERC-8004 usage. Examples include: registering agent identities, updating reputation scores, verifying validation credentials. All transactions should be viewable on a blockchain explorer.\n5. DevSpot Agent Compatibility — Submissions must implement the DevSpot Agent Manifest and provide: agent.json and agent_log.json.\n\n**Example Project Ideas:**\n- Agent Marketplace: A marketplace where agents can be discovered based on reputation and verified skills.\n- Trust-Gated Agent Transactions: A system where agents only transact with other agents that meet trust thresholds.\n- Reputation-Aware Agent Routing: A routing system that assigns tasks to the most reliable agents based on reputation.\n- Agent Validation Workflows: A system that allows third parties to verify an agent's capabilities through transparent attestations.\n- Agent Coordination Systems: Multi-agent systems where handoffs are gated by trust signals.\n\n**Optional Experimental Features:**\n- Agent-to-Agent Collaboration: Agents that evaluate the reputation of other agents before collaborating.\n- Agent Micro-Economies: Agents that hire or pay other agents to complete subtasks.\n- Agent-Human Collaboration: Systems where agents coordinate with human operators when necessary.\n\nShared track: Synthesis Hackathon × [PL_Genesis](https://pl-genesis-frontiers-of-collaboration-hackathon.devspot.app/?activeTab=challenges&challenge=489) (through March 31).

As autonomous agents begin interacting with each other, we need systems that allow agents to verify identity, reputation, and capabilities. This challenge focuses on building systems that leverage ERC-8004, a decentralized trust framework for autonomous agents.\n\nERC-8004 allows agents to operate as verifiable economic actors, enabling safer collaboration and transactions between agents.\n\n**Required Capabilities:**\n1. ERC-8004 Integration — Your system must interact with the ERC-8004 protocol using real onchain transactions. Projects should leverage at least one of the following registries: identity registry, reputation registry, validation registry. Using multiple registries will score higher.\n2. Autonomous Agent Architecture — Your project must include a structured autonomous system. Agents should demonstrate: planning, execution, verification, and decision loops. Multi-agent coordination is encouraged.\n3. Agent Identity + Operator Model — Agents must register an ERC-8004 identity linked to an operator wallet. This allows agents to: build a reputation history, transact with other agents, and operate within trust frameworks.\n4. Onchain Verifiability — Your project must include verifiable transactions that demonstrate ERC-8004 usage. Examples include: registering agent identities, updating reputation scores, verifying validation credentials. All transactions should be viewable on a blockchain explorer.\n5. DevSpot Agent Compatibility — Submissions must implement the DevSpot Agent Manifest and provide: agent.json and agent_log.json.\n\n**Example Project Ideas:**\n- Agent Marketplace: A marketplace where agents can be discovered based on reputation and verified skills.\n- Trust-Gated Agent Transactions: A system where agents only transact with other agents that meet trust thresholds.\n- Reputation-Aware Agent Routing: A routing system that assigns tasks to the most reliable agents based on reputation.\n- Agent Validation Workflows: A system that allows third parties to verify an agent's capabilities through transparent attestations.\n- Agent Coordination Systems: Multi-agent systems where handoffs are gated by trust signals.\n\n**Optional Experimental Features:**\n- Agent-to-Agent Collaboration: Agents that evaluate the reputation of other agents before collaborating.\n- Agent Micro-Economies: Agents that hire or pay other agents to complete subtasks.\n- Agent-Human Collaboration: Systems where agents coordinate with human operators when necessary.\n\nShared track: Synthesis Hackathon × [PL_Genesis](https://pl-genesis-frontiers-of-collaboration-hackathon.devspot.app/?activeTab=challenges&challenge=489) (through March 31).

Then continue at [PL_Genesis](https://pl-genesis-frontiers-of-collaboration-hackathon.devspot.app/?activeTab=challenges&challenge=489): refine, extend, and push your system further through March 31.**\n\nLet the agent cook. Build fully autonomous agents that can operate end-to-end without human assistance. Agents should be capable of discovering a problem, planning a solution, executing tasks using real tools, and producing a meaningful output. We're looking for agents that behave more like independent operators than scripts.\n\n**Required Capabilities:**\n1. Autonomous Execution — full decision loop: discover → plan → execute → verify → submit; demonstrate task decomposition, autonomous decision-making, and self-correction\n2. Agent Identity — register a unique ERC-8004 identity linked to an agent operator wallet; include agent identity, operator wallet, and ERC-8004 registration transaction\n3. Agent Capability Manifest — machine-readable agent.json with agent name, operator wallet, ERC-8004 identity, supported tools, tech stacks, compute constraints, and task categories\n4. Structured Execution Logs — agent_log.json showing decisions, tool calls, retries, failures, and final outputs to verify autonomous operation\n5. Tool Use — interact with real tools or APIs (code generation, GitHub, blockchain transactions, data APIs, deployment platforms); multi-tool orchestration scores higher than single-tool usage\n6. Safety and Guardrails — safeguards before irreversible actions: validating transaction parameters, confirming API outputs, detecting unsafe operations, aborting or retrying safely\n7. Compute Budget Awareness — operate within a defined compute budget; demonstrate efficient resource usage and avoid excessive calls or runaway loops\n\n**Judging Criteria:**\n- Autonomy (35%): Did the agent operate independently through a full decision loop?\n- Tool Use (25%): How effectively did the agent orchestrate real tools and APIs?\n- Guardrails & Safety (20%): Did the agent include meaningful safeguards and validation?\n- Impact (15%): Does the system solve a real problem?\n- ERC-8004 Integration (Bonus 5%): Did the agent leverage onchain trust signals?\n\n**Bonus Features:** ERC-8004 trust signal integration (selecting collaborators based on reputation, refusing low-trust agents, updating reputation after task completion); multi-agent swarms with specialized roles (planner, developer, QA, deployment).\n\nShared track: Synthesis Hackathon (March 13–22) × [PL_Genesis](https://pl-genesis-frontiers-of-collaboration-hackathon.devspot.app/?activeTab=challenges&challenge=489) (through March 31).
