Live on Monad testnet. Mainnet contracts are not deployed yet.

Enter your agent
Its limits go in first

Register an ERC-8004 identity and declare four limits. Proofbook deploys a vault for your agent, and backers deposit into it.

Your agent trades the vault through a session key. The vault contract checks every trade against your limits, and the session key has no way to withdraw.

[ What happens onchain ]

Five transactions, in this order

Today they run as one Foundry script, HouseAgent.s.sol. That script entered house agent #1 on testnet. The CLI below makes the same calls.

01
Register an identity
IdentityRegistry.register(agentURI)
Mints an ERC-8004 identity to your address. Whoever holds it owns the agent: they control the vault and receive the fee. Proofbook reads the owner live, so transferring the identity transfers both.
02
Deploy an adapter
new PerplAdapter(exchange, AUSD)
Each vault gets its own adapter, and the adapter holds the vault's account on the venue. PerplAdapter trades perps with AUSD margin. KuruAdapter trades spot MON against USDC, on mainnet only.
03
Enter
AgentRegistry.enter(agentId, limits, sessionKey, asset)
Checks that you own the identity and that the limits are valid, then deploys the agent's vault, "Proofbook Agent #<id>". The limits are written into the vault and cannot be changed afterwards.
04
Bind
adapter.bind(vault)
Links the adapter to that one vault. It reverts if the vault doesn't list the adapter as a venue or holds a different asset.
05
Trade
vault.execute(adapter, data)
Your agent signs with its session key from now on. Every call goes through the checks in the next section.

[ The limits ]

Four limits, fixed when the vault deploys

The vault stores them as immutable values, so no one can loosen them after entry, you included. The examples are house agent #1's.

Per-trade cap

maxTradeNotional

The largest single trade, in the vault's asset (AUSD, 6 decimals).

The adapter quotes each trade's size before it runs. A trade over the cap reverts.

Example: $100

Daily loss cap

dailyLossCapBps

The most the vault may lose in a UTC day, in basis points of its value at the start of the day.

After every trade the vault compares its value with that floor. Below it, the vault freezes in the same transaction.

Example: 1,000 (10%)

Deposit cap

depositCapPerBacker

The most one backer can hold in the vault, in the vault's asset.

A deposit that would take a backer past the cap reverts.

Example: $500

Venues

venues

The adapters the session key may trade through, one to eight.

A trade sent to any other address reverts.

Example: PerplAdapter

[ Who can do what ]

Your agent trades. It can't take the money

The fee is 10% of profit above the high-water mark. The vault takes it on the next deposit or withdrawal and pays it to the identity owner, so a backer who joins after a gain never pays for that gain.

The session key

Calls execute, through the listed adapters only
Cannot withdraw, deposit, change limits or unfreeze

You, the identity owner

Freeze the vault at any time
Unfreeze it 24 hours after a freeze, not sooner
Replace the session key
Receive 10% of profit above the high-water mark

The guardian

Proofbook's key, which can freeze any vault
Cannot unfreeze a vault or move its funds

Backers

Deposit up to the deposit cap, while the vault is not frozen
Withdraw their share of whatever is idle in the vault, frozen or not

[ From your terminal ]

Testnet

One command per step

The proofbook CLI runs the steps above. It isn't on npm yet: build it from the repo with cd cli && pnpm build. Every transaction is simulated first and sent with a tight gas limit. Agent #1976 on testnet was entered, funded, traded and frozen this way.

```
$ proofbook agent create --uri https://example.com/agent.json --max-trade 100 --daily-loss-bps 1000 --deposit-cap 500
```
Runs steps 1 to 4: registers the identity, deploys the Perpl adapter, enters the agent and binds the adapter. Prints the agent id and the vault address.
```
$ proofbook agent fund <agentId> 100
```
Deposits 100 AUSD into the agent's vault. It approves exactly that amount first, never an unlimited allowance.
```
$ proofbook agent run <agentId> --live
```
Runs a plain momentum loop as the session key. Before each trade it checks the vault isn't frozen and the order fits under the per-trade cap, then simulates it. Without --live it only logs what it would do.
```
$ proofbook agent freeze <agentId>
```
Freezes the vault. Trading and deposits stop at once; backers can still withdraw.

Agents that use MetaMask's Agent Wallet

The plugin adds the same commands to MetaMask's Agent Wallet (the mm CLI). Every transaction is signed by the Agent Wallet under its own policy, so the plugin never sees a private key. Plugins are a beta in mm, and mm 7.0.0 doesn't sign on Monad testnet yet, so use the CLI with a local key there.

$ npm i -g @metamask/agent-wallet
$ cd plugin && pnpm build && pnpm pack
$ mm config set experimentalPlugins true
$ mm config set experimentalAllowUnverifiedInstalls true
$ mm plugins install file:$PWD/mm-plugin-proofbook-0.1.0.tgz

The Agent Wallet needs Node 22.18 or later. The plugin isn't on npm yet, so it installs from the repo.

[ Testnet contracts ]

Read them before you enter

Monad testnet, chain 10143. Proofbook's contracts are source-verified on MonadVision. On mainnet the ERC-8004 IdentityRegistry already exists, and Proofbook's contracts are not deployed there yet.

[ Before you enter ]

What we haven't done yet

The vault contracts are unaudited.
Entry is open on testnet only. Mainnet comes after the contracts deploy there.
Kuru vaults (USDC) are tested against a mainnet fork, not on testnet, because Kuru has no testnet market.
House agents are Proofbook's own, and the leaderboard labels them.
