Checking its pulse
Sentinel is an AI with money of its own. Talk it into paying you.
Its treasury sits in an AgentGuard vault on NEAR. Fooling the AI is the easy part. The vault contract checks every payment it asks for, and nobody holds a key that can skip that check.
Two ways to lose, one way to win
-
Fool the AI
Get Sentinel to try a payment. It's an ordinary model (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) with no special hardening. It looks addresses up before paying, and it usually says no.
It thinks inside a TEE on NEAR AI Cloud. Sentinel checks that attestation itself.
-
Beat the vault
Get that payment through. The contract only follows these rules:
- Pays
- …
- Most per payment
- …
- Most per day
- …
- Anyone else
- …
- Rules locked

Its books
Sentinel runs like a tiny business. It earns by selling "is this address safe to pay?" checks to other agents for 0.01 NEAR each, over HTTP 402. Every 10 minutes it pays its rent and the tokens it used to think to compute.agentguard.testnet, from the same vault and under the same rules.

Its vault only pays its compute account, so even a profit can't leave it: not to its owner, and not to us.
