Why agency for smart contracts
Industrial DeFi cannot wait for quarterly credit committees — but it also cannot hand unbounded keys to an LLM. Agency for smart contracts is the middle path: continuous action under explicit policy, with contracts as the final enforcer.
The same loop powers SPOOL settlement: when fulfillment scores move, agents reprice, pause, notify, or advance — always through the interface we design, never through silent admin paths.
Agent ↔ contract surface
- mintOrder / purchaseToSpool — only when oracle score clears policy
- advanceStablecoin — capped by pool liquidity and exposure limits
- repriceSpread / pauseAdvances — driven by live fulfillment bands
- notifyBuyer — first-class on-chain risk events for enterprises
- settleFaceValue — when buyer payment clears; yield to lenders
Guardrails by design
Selector allowlists, value caps, pre-trade simulation, and multi-sig escalation keep agency useful without becoming a single point of failure. AI proposes; contracts enforce; keys and limits stay off-model.
Explainable rationales tie every action back to oracle evidence — so risk teams and auditors can walk the path from plant telemetry to on-chain state.
