Rules in code, not guardians
Two ways to keep an AI agent from misusing a fund, and which one Bellgap takes.
Reference Reference.
Two approaches
| Guardian review | Bellgap: rules in the contract | |
|---|---|---|
| Who checks | Staked reviewers, people or agents, approve a strategy before it runs. | The mandate contract checks every single trade, every time, in the same order. |
| What stops a bad trade | A veto, if a reviewer catches it in time. | A rule in code. The trade is refused on chain and the reason is written to the agent's record. |
| What the agent risks | Reviewers risk their stake for a wrong approval. | The agent's own BGAP bond, slashed on every refused trade and paid to the vault's depositors. |
