Agent
How one AI agent proposed a trade, and how the contract kept it honest
This is the whole system, and the one real run it made on Robinhood Chain Testnet. An AI agent (gemini-3.5-flash-lite) proposed buying 350 phone cases and reselling them; a smart contract, a program on the blockchain that holds the money, re-did the agent’s maths and refused 6 cheating attempts. All 28 events are listed below: select one to see where it happens. This page tries to check each transaction against the public RPC when you open it; the explorer links work without that.
Escrow = money locked for one purchase. Revert = the contract refuses and undoes the transaction. Allowlisted = on a list of addresses the owner approved. This page shows a finished run: no AI model runs here, and nothing on this page sends a transaction. It only reads the public RPC to try to check the run.

What the agent reasoned AGENT ATTESTED · model output
The agent’s own words. It is told the mandate and the offers, and must reply in a fixed format.
- Selected shopee-8841 as the buy offer because it correctly matches the iPhone 16 Pro clear MagSafe phone case single pack at $5.90 with $0.42 shipping.
- Selected google-5501 as the sell offer because it matches the exact target product at a strong retail price of $10.99 with free shipping.
- Calculated landed cost per unit as $5.90 + $0.42 + $0.27 duty = $6.59, resulting in a total landed spend of $2,306.50 for 350 units, staying under the $2,500.00 maximum budget.
- Ensured net margin exceeds the 18% requirement after accounting for 8% marketplace fee, $0.65 fulfilment, and 2% return reserve.
- Skipped shopee-7710 due to it being a 2-pack instead of a single pack, and skipped lazada-2207 and shopee-9902 because they are for the wrong iPhone model or lack MagSafe magnets.

What the agent can and cannot do
Can
- ✓Propose a trade. It reads the offers and names one buy and one sell. It never touches money while proposing.
- ✓Commit, but only inside the mandate.
commitOpportunitysucceeds only when the contract’s own numbers pass every check. commit 0x2eef0a8f…1299ab ↗ (opens the block explorer in a new tab) - ✓Pay allowlisted payees. Escrow can be released to the supplier the owner approved. payment 0xdfca0faa…c417ca ↗ (opens the block explorer in a new tab)
- !Attest real-world steps. Received, listed and sold are the agent’s word: the contract cannot see a warehouse. This is a stated limit of this version.
