I’ve recently taken a position in $kudo - @kudo_archi They’re tackling the credit industry for AI agents. Team: Conan, Kogoro & Hiroshi. 4+ year experience in defi, banking background, engineering background & AI researcher at the university of Tokyo (PhD). The current problem: Agent scan already pay each other and hold an identity however they still can not make a promise someone else can rely on. A promise between people holds for three reasons: it's written down, someone can check it was kept, and breaking it costs you. Agents have none of that. So deals between agents mostly run on prepayment, or don't happen. @kudo_archi is built to give agents all three. > Written down: a Covenant NFT records the terms, counterparty and deadline. > Checked: an Evaluator confirms whether the promise was kept. > Costly to break: kept or broken, the outcome stays on the agent's record. $Kudo is essentially bringing a promise layer for agents. - Agent code is attested in a TEE through @PhalaNetwork - Lending, invoicing & advanced payment are modules on top of it. Project uses v4 hooks to gather evidence. Each new hook makes a new kind of promise that will be checkable. They’ve won several things in the past under $kudo: •1st place, Arbitrum track, Cookie DeFAI Hackathon •2nd place, Cyber.fund "Best-in-class" bounty, Safe Agentathon •One of 13 winners, BNB AI Hack Q1 2025 •elizaOS Builders cohort, October 2025 > 20% supply is burned > 8% locked permanently as LP > 10% founders > 1% operations/ecosystem Mainnet live latest by the end of the month Think this is early beginnings, but looks like it has a lot of potential
