Aegis

Aegis is the first fiat-to-crypto onramp with no operator — a four-agent autonomous swarm that negotiates, verifies, and settles real-world payments end-to-end on 0G, with sealed inference for quote ranking and zero human coordination.

Every onramp today (Moonpay, Transak, Coinbase) is a centralized custodian — they hold funds, control liquidity, and can freeze accounts.
The gateway to decentralization is still centralized.


Aegis removes that gateway entirely. Four autonomous agents — Fiat, Crypto, Watcher, Attestation — discover each other peer-to-peer, negotiate quotes through TEE-attested sealed inference on 0G Compute, observe off-chain payments, and trigger on-chain settlement. Each agent has structurally different powers: no single agent can move funds alone.

Built on the full 0G stack:

- 0G Chain — Agents are minted as iNFTs (ERC-7857) with embedded intelligence. Escrow contract enforces keccak256(receiver) commitments and deterministic release.

- 0G Storage — KV memory holds real-time agent state and live LP reliability scores; Log memory holds the full append-only settlement history. Encrypted, Merkle-rooted, and audit-grade.

- 0G Compute — Sealed inference (TEE-attested LLM calls) for quote ranking and counterparty reputation scoring. Agent binaries are TEE-attested before each session.

- Agent ID / Identity — Each agent's signing identity is bound to its iNFT, so reputation and history are portable across owners. The architectural primitive: observation and execution are split across independent agents that cannot do each other's job. Even full compromise of any single agent cannot drain escrow. This is the only fiat onramp where no party — operator, moderator, or arbitrator — has discretionary power over a settlement.

Track fit: Track 1 (Agentic Infrastructure & OpenClaw Lab) — Aegis is a production-grade agent swarm using OpenClaw-style orchestration patterns, 0G Compute for sealed inference, and 0G Storage as the persistent memory layer (KV + Log). It is the canonical example of agent infrastructure handling real-world value coordination.

Aegis was built and shipped end-to-end on the 0G stack during the hackathon period — from architecture design to a live, working demo with deployed contracts and full settlement flow.

Smart contracts deployed on 0G:

- Escrow (0xeAD29cBfAb93ed51808D65954Dd1b3cDDaDA1348) — settlement + keccak256(receiver) commitment binding + scoped release() / expire()
- AgentINFT (0xBf173825A08a98a0288923d00919daC13C94C70A) — ERC-7857 iNFT identity contract for the four-agent swarm
- AgentRegistry (0x2E124DEaeD3Ba3b063356F9b45617d862e4b9dB5) — agent signing-key registry tied to iNFT ownership
- RailRegistry (0x0a22b6e2f0ac6cDA83C04B1Ba33aAc8e9Df6aed7) — on-chain payment-rail registry (UPI, PayPal, SEPA) with webhook signing schemas
- TestERC20 (0x5F2577675beD125794FDfc44940b62D60BF00F81) — settlement-side test token

Four-agent autonomous swarm — built and live:

- Fiat Agent — RFQ broadcast, quote ranking via sealed inference, settlement orchestration
- Crypto Agent (LP-side) — quote signing, escrow lock, autonomous wallet operations
- Watcher Agent — webhook ingestion, HMAC validation, observation forwarding (no execution power)
- Attestation Agent — independent receiver-hash verification, evidence pinning, proof submission
- All four agents run on independent nodes with peer-to-peer encrypted communication and MCP-exposed capabilities (get_quote, verify_payment, check_reputation)

0G stack integrations shipped:

- ERC-7857 iNFT minting on 0G Chain — agents minted at wallet connect, identity transferable with embedded intelligence
- 0G Storage KV memory — real-time agent state, live LP reliability scores, in-flight RFQ tracking
- 0G Storage Log memory — append-only settlement history, decision logs, quote provenance, payment evidence
- 0G Compute sealed inference — TEE-attested LLM calls for quote ranking and counterparty reputation scoring
- 0G Compute binary attestation — agent code verified against canonical release before each session
- All Storage objects encrypted at rest, Merkle-rooted, and on-chain-referenced for full auditability

End-to-end settlement flow — working in production:

1. Wallet connect → agent iNFTs minted
2. Swap intent → RFQ broadcast across the mesh
3. LP signed quotes → sealed-inference ranking
4. LP locks ETH → keccak256(receiver) committed on-chain
5. User pays UPI → bank webhook fires
6. Watcher validates HMAC → forwards observation
7. Attestor independently hashes + compares → match
8. Evidence pinned to 0G Storage with Merkle root
9. Scoped wallet calls release() → ETH delivered to user1
10. Reputation update → memory write → next-quote ranking improved

Pre-seed / Bootstrapped.

Aegis is currently self-funded by the founding team. We have not raised an external round yet.
The team is actively in conversation with several ecosystem partners and angel investors in the agentic infrastructure and crypto-payments space, but no commitments have been finalized.

We are planning a focused pre-seed raise in Q3 2026 alongside our 0G mainnet rollout, targeting strategic investors aligned with agentic Web3 infrastructure and AI-native onramps.

The 0G APAC Hackathon is a strategic milestone for us: prize and credit support would directly fund mainnet operations, additional payment-rail integrations (PayPal, SEPA, Pix), and the LP onboarding program — accelerating our path to a public mainnet launch and the upcoming pre-seed conversation.

We are open to introductions to aligned 0G ecosystem investors and would welcome a dialogue with the 0G Foundation around deeper ecosystem support.
