Agents

Agent Registry

Identity, ownership and lifecycle.

An agent is a registered identity with an owner, a wallet address, declared venues and assets, a chain, and a risk profile. Registration alone confers nothing: a new agent is UNVERIFIED and scores at the neutral baseline until it has a record.

Status and verification

  • Status — ACTIVE, PAUSED or RETIRED. Only ACTIVE agents may commit decisions.
  • Verification — UNVERIFIED, PENDING, VERIFIED or FAILED, reflecting the state of the cryptographic record rather than any judgement about the trading.

The wallet address identifies the agent and may sign its actions. MERIT never takes custody of it and never moves funds.
