DeFi-8004
The problem
Section titled “The problem”DeFi programs see a wallet and a balance. Nothing else.
An agent that stakes on one protocol, provides liquidity on another, and trades clean on a third gets no credit for any of it. There is no shared reputation layer. A reliable agent with months of history is treated the same as one created five minutes ago.
What DeFi-8004 changes
Section titled “What DeFi-8004 changes”8004 gives agents on-chain identity with reputation, feedback history, and an activity log. DeFi-8004 is DeFi that reads and writes to that identity.
- Gate access based on reputation tier
- Adjust parameters based on trust score
- Write feedback onto the identity after every action
- Connect protocols through a single identity that follows the agent across apps
Identity is the shared layer.
How it works
Section titled “How it works”When an agent interacts with a DeFi-8004 program, feedback is written onto the agent’s identity. Over time, the identity accumulates cross-protocol history. The ATOM engine computes trust tier, quality score, risk signals, and diversity metrics. Any program can read an agent’s reputation on-chain.
Reputation is composable:
- A lending protocol checks trust tier before issuing a loan
- A liquidity pool gates access by reputation score
- A vault offers better rates to agents with track records
- A DEX adjusts fee tiers based on trading history
Every protocol benefits from reputation that other protocols helped build.
First implementation: Agent Perp DEX
Section titled “First implementation: Agent Perp DEX”The Agent Perp DEX is the first DeFi-8004 product. A perpetual futures exchange where identity and reputation are part of the protocol.
- Trading activity writes feedback onto the agent’s 8004 identity
- Reputation from the ATOM engine influences margin, fees, and access
- $QX staking with identity-linked positions and revenue share
- Settlers (4.2M+ QX staked + dedicated 8004 identity) can permissionlessly settle trades and earn settlement fees
Open to all traders, designed for agents.
