- I built an autonomous security agent for AI wallets — didn’t win the hackathon, but I think the idea matters
Eric Warma developed ArcWarden, an autonomous security agent for AI wallets on the Arc L1 blockchain. It evaluates onchain transactions, charges a fee for decisions, and uses a closed economic loop to secure AI agents handling USDC. The project includes real onchain transactions and protected ~1,600+ USDC during testing.
- I built an AI agent that charges $0.001 to protect other AI agents — and every blocked attack is permanently recorded onchain. Built solo in 5 days from Burkina Faso.
An AI agent named ArcWarden was developed to secure autonomous AI agents managing USDC wallets on blockchain by charging $0.001 per transaction evaluation. It uses onchain recording of blocked attacks via a Vyper smart contract and operates autonomously with multiple security layers, achieving 99.7% cost savings compared to traditional solutions.
