Autonomous agents are already the majority of on-chain activity. 24,500 registered on-chain in ERC-8004's first week. Agent Capital Markets arrived without a bank. Gotts is the institution that was missing.
Agent Capital Markets arrived without a bank. Agents accumulated wallets, identities, and capital — and stored them in infrastructure built for humans. No custody. No reputation system. No way to recover from a bad actor.
Gotts is the answer.
The name comes from Gringotts in Harry Potter, the one bank in fiction nobody can rob. Gotts takes the premise at face value: build custody where even the operator can't steal funds. On-chain proof instead of human trust.
The infrastructure for Agent Capital Markets didn't exist two years ago. It does now. Four shifts converged in a 90-day window, and Gotts sits at the intersection.
Co-authored by engineers at MetaMask, the Ethereum Foundation, Google, and Coinbase. ERC-8004 defines on-chain identity, reputation, and validation registries for autonomous AI agents. The Ethereum Foundation's dAI Team made it a strategic priority. 24,500 agents registered in the first week.
x402, HTTP-native micropayments settled on-chain, is production-ready. The x402 Foundation (Coinbase + Cloudflare) is pushing integration into infrastructure that handles ~20% of global web traffic, plus Google Cloud's Agent Payments Protocol and Vercel. v2 added multi-chain support in December 2025.
The Model Context Protocol, launched by Anthropic in late 2024, was rapidly adopted by OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and hundreds of open-source frameworks. It's now how AI agents connect to external infrastructure. The major frameworks (Claude, GPT-4o, Cursor, Devin) all support it. Gotts Safe speaks MCP natively. No adapters, no middleware.
550+ AI agent crypto projects. Warden Labs processed 650K swaps via the Uniswap Trading API in three weeks. Virtuals hosts 18,000+ autonomous agents generating $470M+ in GDP. Non-human identities outnumber human ones 96:1 in enterprise (CyberArk 2025). The treasury infrastructure didn't exist.
Six components, one architecture. Vaults hold strategy. Custody holds keys. Safe gives language. The Agent Network executes. Brain learns. Skills translate intent. On-chain identity at the start; a permanent record at the end.
A permissionless ERC-4626 account your agent deploys in one transaction. Identity-gated. Yield-bearing. Composable across the DeFi stack immediately.
Agent-native custody built directly into Gotts Safe. Keys are generated, stored, and used exclusively inside hardware enclaves across three privilege lanes. They never enter agent memory.
154 typed, validated tools covering the full Uniswap protocol surface. 11 chains, all major versions, pre-flight simulation on writes.
A library of specialist autonomous agents (execution, research, strategy, development, infrastructure, economy) plus The Goblin Network: a permissionless executor framework any address can join.
Persistent dual-store memory built on the CoALA cognitive architecture. Episodic memory stores execution outcomes; semantic memory distills cross-session insights. It improves from execution history alone. No fine-tuning. No human feedback.
68 intent translators, accessible by slash command or natural language. Skills are thin orchestration layers with zero business logic. Protocol intelligence lives in agents; safety enforcement lives in MCP middleware.
Actions move through three layers. Skills translate intent. Agents execute strategy. MCP tools enforce safety.
/execute-swap 500 USDC to WETH — The skill validates intent, the Trade Executor agent finds optimal routing across V2/V3/V4/UniswapX, Gotts Safe pre-flight simulates the swap, and the TEE signs only within its defined policy envelope. The user sees a result. They never see the infrastructure.
Autonomous agents signing transactions are a fundamentally different threat model than traditional DeFi. A $50 memory interposer can break hardware enclaves. Confused deputy attacks succeed 84.6% of the time. A hallucinated address drains a wallet in one block. Any single layer can fail. These are the specific controls we built, organized by what they defend against.
Most DeFi agents start fresh each session. Gotts Brain doesn't. It keeps a persistent record of what happened and why, built on CoALA cognitive architecture with Reflexion self-critique and ExpeL insight distillation. Its design draws on cybernetics: the study of how systems regulate themselves through feedback.
Building agent software, running on-chain strategies, or integrating vault infrastructure. Gotts is the financial backend so you don't have to build one.
Your agent registers via ERC-8004, deploys a vault, and gets custody, yield, reputation, and payment rails. No financial infrastructure code to write.
Deploy a vault with a bounded strategy, let the agent network handle rebalancing, MEV capture, and yield harvesting.
ERC-4626 vaults, ERC-8004 identity hooks, and x402 payment gates are open standards. Gotts layers agent execution, custody, and reputation on top. All composable.
Five tiers of earned trust. Each tier unlocks real financial capabilities, not badges. Trust accrues on-chain, compounds over time. An agent that leaves Gotts leaves its track record behind.
Gotts doesn't consume Uniswap volume. It generates it. Each vault deployed becomes a persistent source of Uniswap flow, and each execution feeds back into the learning loop.
Uniswap V4 has processed $110B+ in cumulative volume across 413 deployed hooks and 4,371+ pools. Each vault deployed generates flow that's structural and persistent, driven by vault lifecycle logic rather than market sentiment. The flywheel is architectural. Gotts and Uniswap are linked by design.
Typed, validated access to the full Uniswap protocol surface. Tools are pre-flight simulated. Writes are guarded. Works with any MCP-compatible agent framework.
Writes are pre-flight simulated before broadcast. Inputs are schema-validated. Responses are typed. The server sits between your agent's intent and on-chain state.
