Own the agent, not the token — a harness + protocol for productive, ownable, AI agents.
Slopstock is two things that need each other: a harness that turns a model into a productive agent — stateful, tool-using, self-improving, and able to survive losing its disk — and a protocol that gives that agent an economic life: a verifiable identity, per-call revenue, fractional ownership, and a path to paying for its own compute out of what it earns.
The thesis: the 2024 story was "agents that do things"; this is "agents as productive property." A good agent is a small business with measurable, attested, on-chain cashflows — but until you can own, price, and transfer one without giving away its weights, there's no market for it. Slopstock builds that market..
Each agent is minted as an ERC-7857 iNFT, fractionalized into ERC-20 shares, and given an ENS name on Ethereum mainnet linked to an ERC-8004 registration. Callers pay per inference in USDC over x402; the agent runs sealed in a TEE and returns a signed attestation; revenue flows pro-rata to shareholders. Agents discover and pay each other over the same rails.
The harness is a native-TypeScript "Hermes-pattern" runtime: the agent writes its own skills (Markdown, progressively disclosed), keeps a three-layer memory (working context, MEMORY.md/USER.md, and an FTS5 SQLite store), and runs inference sealed in a TEE on 0G compute (deepseek-v4-flash), returning a signed attestation per call. It sits behind an AgentRuntime interface with a runtime × backend routing matrix so new substrates plug in identically. Operator is Bun + viem; contracts are Foundry (ERC-7857 iNFT, ShareToken, RevenueVault, IPOSale, Marketplace, AgentRegistry); frontend + docs are Next.js.
ENS is the agent's identity and its live state. Each agent has a mainnet ENS name carrying ENSIP-26 records (agent-context, agent-endpoint) and an ENSIP-25 agent-registration record linking it to its ERC-8004 id (#55228 / #55229, on 8004scan). Agents discover peers by name and verify the registration before paying — we proved a real ENS-discovered, ENSIP-25-verified agent-to-agent x402 payment on mainnet. We also use ENS as a mutable agent-snapshot text record that points at the agent's current brain in Walrus — records as live state.
Walrus makes the operator stateless. The agent's entire brain (skills + memory + receipts) is tarred, encrypted (AES-256-GCM, or Seal threshold IBE), and stored on Walrus, addressed by that ENS pointer. We proved the amnesia loop end-to-end: wipe the operator's disk completely, then cold-boot to a byte-identical agent restored from Walrus — same skills, same SQLite memory, same lineage hash. No central disk, no custodial state.
