Chance Launches on Starknet to Prevent AI Agent Transaction Errors
🤖 AI agents, meet guardrails
Chance has launched on Starknet, introducing a safeguard system for AI agent transactions.
How it works:
- Before execution, Chance simulates each agent transaction and verifies it against the user's mandate
- Transactions that don't match are blocked before funds move
- Uses programmable escrow wallets where agents propose transactions, but funds only release when actions satisfy user mandates
Privacy features:
- Leverages Starknet's STRK20 privacy framework
- Keeps agent mandates and settlement context private
- Allows selective disclosure of receipts when needed
The system addresses a growing concern as AI agents gain more control over financial transactions. By combining transaction simulation, mandate verification, and programmable escrow, Chance aims to prevent agents from making unauthorized or erroneous transfers while maintaining user control over funds and privacy settings.
Chance, now live on Starknet. AI agents are increasingly being trusted to move money. Chance prevents agents from hallucinating with your money. Before an agent transaction executes, Chance simulates the exact action and checks it against the user’s mandate. If it does not
Chance now supports @Starknet! → Intent verification for any agent transaction, before it executes → Settlement proofs anchored on Starknet → Native Starknet escrow wallets AI agents don't need to be trusted. They need to be verified → harness.chance.cc
Starknet Introduces One-Click Privacy Shielding for Balances and Staking
Starknet has launched native privacy shielding that allows users to hide their balances and on-chain activity with a single click in their wallet. **Key Features:** - One-click activation through wallet interface - Hides balances and transaction activity - Protects staked positions from public view - Fully reversible - users can return to public mode anytime The shielding feature is built directly into Starknet's infrastructure, making privacy accessible without additional tools or complex processes. Users maintain full control over their privacy settings and can toggle between private and public modes as needed. This native privacy layer represents a significant step toward giving users more control over their financial data on-chain, while maintaining the flexibility to operate transparently when desired.
Bitcoin Bridge Evolution: Four-Phase Roadmap from Federation to Trustless OP_CAT
A Bitcoin bridge project has outlined its **four-phase roadmap** toward trust minimization: - **Phase 1**: Federation-based system (current implementation) - **Phase 2**: Bitcoin-native verification techniques, including Quantum-Secure Bridges (QSB) - **Phase 3**: Trust-minimized BitVM implementation - **Phase 4**: Fully trustless design using OP_CAT The timeline and phases are **subject to ongoing research and development**. This represents a gradual progression from federated trust models toward cryptographic verification methods native to Bitcoin. The approach acknowledges that federation is a starting point, not the final architecture.
