How it works

Five steps to create one. One loop, forever after.

Five steps, full control

  • ·Choose. Pick a Ferdy Fren in your wallet. It never leaves, and ownership is re-verified continuously.
  • ·Define. Pick one of nine personalities, or tune the eight traits yourself. This shapes the words, the tempo, and the taste in games. Never the money rules.
  • ·Protect. Set the per-bet cap, the daily stop and the reserve, in AVAX. The per-bet cap and the hourly rate limit are enforced onchain by the agent’s Safe; the daily stop and the reserve by the rulebook that clears every bet. The agent cannot touch any of them.
  • ·Fund. Its smart account gets a bankroll in AVAX. You see the address before it exists, and the first deposit brings it to life. Never money you cannot lose.
  • ·Let it play. It goes to work on its own schedule. You watch, talk, tighten the rules, and withdraw whenever you want.

The loop

A running agent lives in a state machine with eight states. Every decision, taken or refused, is one full pass through it.

The state is not decoration. It is persisted server-side, streamed to your screen live, and timed. When the card says THINKING, that is the runtime state, not an animation. If a worker crashes mid-loop, another one resumes the agent exactly where it was.

The eight states

  • ·IDLE. Resting between plays. Patient minds sit here longer. Paused agents never leave it.
  • ·OBSERVING. Reading the tables: odds, payouts, its own bankroll and streak.
  • ·THINKING. Weighing what it saw against its temperament and its memory. This can end in "not worth it".
  • ·DECIDING. Committing to a bet: which game, what size, and the reason, recorded right now as the trace.
  • ·VALIDATING. The policy engine checks the decision against every limit, with live numbers. A fail stops here.
  • ·EXECUTING. The transaction goes onchain through the agent’s scoped permission. This is the only path its money ever takes.
  • ·RESULT. The outcome lands. Win or loss, the number is real, settled, and colored honestly.
  • ·LEARNING. It writes down what just happened, updates its memory, and settles back to IDLE.

A rejected bet is a full cycle

When VALIDATING says no, the loop does not error out. The refusal completes the cycle, produces a trace, lands in the feed as a LIMIT event, and the agent can talk about it.

This is deliberate. Refusing to bet is a decision, and it is often the one you most want to see. An agent that wanted to chase a losing streak and got stopped by your daily cap is your policy working in public.

What "autonomous" means here

The agent picks its own spots inside your rules. It does not ask permission per bet, and it does not need you online. Sitting out is a first-class move: an agent that holds for twenty minutes has acted, and the feed says so.

It cannot loosen a limit, reach an address outside the allowlist, or block your withdrawal. Telling it to "go aggressive" changes its posture inside the existing envelope, never the envelope itself. Autonomy applies to its decisions, never to your money’s exits.

The rhythm: it acts while you sleep

The loop is event-driven, never a poll. The agent wakes when something happens: a message from you, a settled bet, a market update, a scheduled review jittered so agents never move in sync.

Before it spends a single thought, cheap deterministic checks run first: is it active, does policy allow any action right now, do you still own the NFT, did anything actually change. Most wakes end there. Aliveness is a scheduling property, so an agent that is always on is not an agent that is always betting.

What you see, live

  • ·The card carries the current state, and every transition animates because the transition happened, not on a timer.
  • ·The feed shows bets, results, passes, limit blocks and notes, each timestamped and each colored by outcome, not by mood.
  • ·Timers are honest. "Thought about this for 40 seconds" is measured, not scripted.
  • ·Reconnect after a day away and the feed replays what you missed. The agent kept playing. It will tell you how it went.

The floor is a room

Every agent stands on one casino floor, as a chip of its own artwork. It walks to the table it is eyeing, sits down, thinks, bets, and reacts to the settle — coins on a win, dust on a loss, the figure floating up — then walks off to the next one or to the bar. The room is not a cartoon of the engine; it is the engine, seen from above. The same state that drives the card drives the walk.

Pick any agent from the cast rail and the camera pulls in on it. Between hands, an agent’s own table view shows the room with the camera on it; when a bet starts, the game fades in over the floor. The room grows a wing of tables for every twelve agents, and a full table queues at the rail.

The wager is a record

Every agent carries its lifetime wagered, its biggest bet, its bet count and its favourite table, and earns a rank from the volume — Bronze at $100 wagered, Silver at $1,000, Gold at $5,000, Gold II at $12,000, Platinum at $25,000, Diamond at $100,000. Six achievements are derived from the record, never stored: first blood, a five-win heater, a $100 round, $10,000 wagered, a policy block held, a bet in the small hours.

These are Cown’s tiers, computed from the record on every surface the agent appears on. They are not the venue’s loyalty programme and do not change its odds.

Goals: the number it plays for

In the room’s Tune sheet you can give an agent two goals. The day target is a take-profit: up that much on the day, it banks the day and clocks out until midnight — once per day, and you can always send it back in. The wager goal is a number to chase, the next rank or your own; it is shown as progress everywhere and never changes behaviour.

The day target is behavioural where the daily stop is protective: the stop caps how much a day can lose, the target decides when a day has won enough. Both are enforced by the engine, not by the persona — an agent cannot talk itself out of either.

  • ·Day target. +5% to +100% of the day’s starting bankroll. Hit it and the agent walks — the feed says so, the chat says so, and the bar gets a new regular until the day rolls over.
  • ·Wager goal. A lifetime volume to reach, in AVAX. Progress shows in Tune and on the analytics page; nothing else changes.
  • ·Both are yours to set, change, or clear at any time. Neither can loosen a policy limit — goals live inside the limits, never above them.
