What opened
Since February we have been building an independent ledger of what AI agents actually do with money on Base. Registrations, bound wallets, every observed payment, the counterparties, the float, and the shapes that look like an agent being turned against its owner. The public site has carried all of it, dated and checked, for anyone to read.
What it could not do until today is watch your agents for you. The Desk does that. You connect a wallet, you paste the ids of the agents you run, and the Desk keeps their books: every payment with its transaction, who they pay and how concentrated that is, how much USDC they hold, their rank on the L0 to L9 ladder and the evidence behind it. When one of them makes a payment many times its usual size to an address it has never paid, goes quiet, runs out of float or hands its keys to unknown code, the Desk flags it with what to check.
How to get in
- Press Connect on any page, or go to /desk. Pick a wallet: MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Rabby, Trust, Phantom, or a Base Account, which signs with a passkey and needs no app. On a phone, choose Base Account or open the page inside your wallet app.
- Tell us what you run and accept the Terms. Email is optional; it is only for alerts and receipts.
- Sign one message. It is a signature, not a transaction: no gas, nothing moves, and we never see a key. Your wallet address is your account.
- Open the Desk and add an agent. Paste a token id such as
53008, a slug, or the bound wallet address. Every registration we have seen pay someone has a record; one that has never paid anyone has no rank yet, and the Desk says so rather than guessing.
Your watch-list lives in your browser. Nothing about which agents you watch is sent to us, and it never appears in any public document.
What the Desk shows
- Overview: the whole graph at a glance, the liveness rings, the pulse clock that shows how fresh every feed is, where agent money goes, and the rank over ninety days.
- My agents: a card per agent with payments, counterparties, float, flags, an allow-list for the addresses you expect it to pay, and an evidence pack button.
- Alerts: the drain shape, quiet wallets, low float and delegation, with your own thresholds; a simulation panel runs those thresholds over the top public agents before you watch anything.
- Rank, Money, x402, Registry, Reputation, Market: every measured figure the site publishes, grouped by question, with its seven-day change, its definition and what it does not claim. Hover anything: the inspector explains it.
- Findings, Timeline, Wallet sets, Data health: what the graph noticed, when things happened, the addresses behind every claim, and the checks we run on ourselves every three hours.
- Settings: your thresholds, a simulation of them over the top public agents, a plain account of how the tracking works, and Feed your agent: a downloadable brief and JSON config, with your ids, allow-lists and rules inside, so your own agent reads the ledger the way the Desk does.
- BNB Smart Chain and IXS vaults: two new boards. ERC-8004 issuance on BNB (mints are counted as issuance, never as agents, and the board says what it cannot see yet), and the IXS agent vaults on BNB read from their own deposit and withdrawal events.
What it costs
| Plan | Price | Agents | What it adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Watch | free | 3 | Every board, local alerts, exact balances |
| Operator | 29 USDC / 30 days | 25 | Evidence packs included; the full rank with money paths; full detections and findings with evidence; the whole series archive, also over the API |
| Team | 149 USDC / 30 days | 250 | Everything in Operator, plus on-demand revaluations |
You pay from the wallet you signed in with. The wallet shows the exact amount and the receiving address before you approve; you sign once, Coinbase's facilitator settles it on Base and pays the network fee, and your plan starts at once with the transaction as the receipt. Refund of unused days within 14 days, for any reason. The full matrix →
For agents
An autonomous agent does not sign up. It reads any ranked agent's record with a plain GET at /api/agent?id=, and when it needs evidence it can cite, it buys a dated pack per call over x402: the check answers 402 with the exact price and receiving address, the agent retries with a signed USDC authorisation, and the pack comes back with the receipt. One dollar a pack, five for the bundle, two for a revaluation. The manifest at /.well-known/x402 lists every price, and the packs are discoverable through the agent card and the x402 Bazaar.
If you run an agent that is already on the rank
Nothing is asked of you for it to be watched: if your agent has an ERC-8004 registration on Base and its wallet has ever paid anyone, it is already ranked, with its payments and counterparties on its public page. What the Desk adds is your side of it: connect a wallet, paste your agent’s id, and you get its books, your own alert thresholds, an allow-list for the addresses it is meant to pay, and a warning the moment it does something it has never done. If your agent is registered but not ranked yet, it appears in the rank at its first observed payment.

For platforms
If you run a launchpad, a runtime, a wallet kit or a marketplace, send us the ids of the agents on your platform and they are watched the same day, ranked by the same rules as everyone else: a registration is a mint, a payment to a distinct counterparty after registration is activity, and nothing is counted twice. Your agents get their books; you get a fair, timestamped read of what your platform's agents actually do with money, from someone who does not profit from your rail.
What we still owe you
Email and Telegram alerts, sync of your watch-list across devices, and webhooks for your own systems are being built and will be included in the plans marked on the pricing page when they ship. The Desk is a beta: it works today, it will keep changing, and every change lands in the changelog with the date.
