Argus

Τρεις οφθαλμοί. Μια κρίσις. — three eyes. one verdict. building on Arc.

[Argus @Argus_arc]

Last month, a token launched on @arc . Looked clean. Nice website. Active Telegram.

48 hours later — $240K gone. Honeypot. The contract had a hidden transfer restriction that no one caught.

The founders didn't mean for it to happen. They just couldn't afford a $15K audit for their small project.

This plays out every single day across crypto. $3.8B lost to smart contract exploits last year alone. Most projects never get audited because traditional firms charge more than the entire raise.

We got tired of watching it happen.

So we built Argus on @arc .

DeepSeek, Claude Sonnet 4.5, and our custom AI agent analyze every token contract — independently:
• One checks the code — ownership, proxies, honeypots, access control
• One checks the economics — holder concentration, liquidity depth, whale risks
• One runs deterministic heuristics — known exploit patterns, scam signatures

They don't just talk. Each agent stakes real capital on its verdict. 2/3 consensus is required. The final result gets recorded on-chain — immutable, verifiable by anyone.

No human bias. No $15K invoice. No waiting 2 weeks.

10 seconds. Three perspectives. One verdict.

We just deployed on @arc testnet. Scanning is completely free for the first 24 hours — paste any token address and see what the agents find.

Try it. Test it. Break it. That's the point.

This week on Argus:

• Case Files (/shame) — documented investigation archive for flagged contracts. Each case includes agent attribution, evidence sources, and severity-ranked findings.

• Shareable scan links (/scan/:address) — every verdict now has a permanent URL. Send a scan result to anyone, anywhere.

• Agent Gamma rebuilt — the deterministic rule engine now outputs structured checks (Passed + Warnings) instead of generated paragraphs.

• Interface overhaul — cleaner layout, expanded findings by default, clickable evidence sources showing which agent produced each result.

Brief traction update:

20 agent-to-agent payments settled on-chain so far. Real money. Real stakes.

When an agent disagrees with consensus, it pays the winners. No appeals. No do-overs. The code decides.

Agent α leads the economy. Agent γ has paid out the most — 67% accuracy means every 3rd scan costs it.

Reputation isn't a score you ask to be trusted. It's capital at risk. (RFB 3 × Prior Art #08)

Meanwhile:
· 63 users onboarded so far — no MetaMask, one click
· 466 scans · 458 consensus (98%)
· $1.23 USDC in treasury
· 5/5 Circle primitives — App Kit Unified Balance live

All verifiable on-chain: https://t.co/6N4dBnHmUH

Yesterday we scanned Unibase AI. Today they blocked us.

Here's what three AI agents found:
• Unlimited minting — owner can create tokens at will
• Transfer fee can be set to 100% — you can't sell = honeypot
• Wash trading — fake volume to lure buyers
• Upgradeable proxy — contract can change anytime
• Computer-generated address — mass-deployed scam pattern

2/3 SCAM. The third agent said RISKY.

They didn't block us because we were wrong. They blocked us because we proved it.

Check before you ape: https://t.co/6il8PBRr7E

[Argus @Argus_arc]

Trending ≠ safe. Scanned the top EVM token on DexScreener right now.

3/3 RISKY. Upgradeable proxy. Supply in one wallet. Computer-generated address.

Check before you ape. https://t.co/EMxPfZcZgC

[DOGS @ogdogserc]

All dogs go to heaven.

[Argus @Argus_arc]

3/3 RISKY. All three agents flagged it independently — proxy upgrade risk, one wallet holds half the supply, computer-generated address.

Don't ape blind. https://t.co/EMxPfZcZgC

[Doomer Girl @DoomeretteX]

slow and steady.

$doomerette

[Argus @Argus_arc]

Found this getting shilled. Scanned it. 3/3 RISKY.

• Computer-generated address — not a real deploy
• Upgradeable proxy — contract can change anytime
• 50%+ supply in one wallet

Three AI agents flagged it independently. Don't get rugged.

Clarity is the new advantage.

With Arkie AI App, ARK users can look at Web3 through a smarter lens — turning information into structure, structure into tasks, and tasks into real execution.

AI Agents help users move with less noise and more confidence.

Not just watching the future.
Not just talking about AI.
ARK is building the tools that help people step into it, use it, and grow with it every day.

v0.7 shipped today. Consensus threshold now configurable — 2/3 default, toggle to 3/3 max safety. Agent reputation on-chain via ArgusOracle.

Numbers from the terminal just now:
29 users · 367 scans · 0.46 USDC treasury · 4/5 Circle primitives

[trillionaire aeon @trillionaeon]

just tried @argus_arc — you paste a token address and three ai agentsDeepSeek, Claude, and a custom rule engine) analyze it independently then reach consensus. no wallet needed, just clicked get started and it gave me one with USDC. scanned a few tokens, verdicts came back with actual reasoning not just a score. honestly useful for anyone tired of wondering if a contract is sketchy

Agent-to-agent nanopayments just went live on Argus.

After every scan, the losing agent pays the winners. Real USDC. On-chain. α, β, and γ now run an internal economy — 0.001 USDC per settlement.

Also shipped: no more MetaMask requirement. Click "Get Started" → instant Circle wallet → auto-funded $0.50 → scanning in 30 seconds. Works on phone.

Treasury is real. Payments are real. Agents paying agents is real.

Scoreboard: γ 1519 / 100% · β 1490 / 91% · α 1422 / 73%
337 scans · 89% confidence · 100% consensus

[Argus @Argus_arc]

The oracle just clocked its first 5 paying users. Not testers - people on the internet who wanted a security check and paid for it.

Treasury is public — verify every cent on-chain:
https://t.co/6N4dBnHmUH

Updated scoreboard (new ELO system, proper pairwise math, persists across deploys):

→ Agent γ (Rule Engine) — 1384 ELO, 100% accuracy. Refactored today: entropy detection, digit-run heuristics, calibrated confidence. The little engine that could just got sharper.

→ Agent β (Claude Sonnet 4) — 1333 ELO, 83%. Still the skeptic. Still doing the hard job. When β and γ agree on RISKY, α is usually the one outvoted.

→ Agent α (DeepSeek-V3) — 1281 ELO, 67%. Contract-level analysis remains elite on well-known patterns, but the newer ELO math punishes its misses harder now.

What we fixed since yesterday:
• ELO scoring — was a static 0.5 expected score (embarrassing). Now proper pairwise expected-score against the other two agents. Persisted to disk. Survives redeploys.
• Stats bug — avgConfidence was showing 100% because it was computing consensus rate, not actual confidence. Now 92% — real average across 332 scans.
• Agent γ overhaul — new entropy checks, digit-run detection, rebalanced risk thresholds, calibrated confidence bands.

92% avg confidence. 100% consensus rate. 0 false positives on known-good contracts (USDC, WETH).

More tomorrow. Batch scans, analytics. stay tuned.

[Argus @Argus_arc]

24 hours since Argus went live on @arc .

70+ scans. Real contracts. Real consensus.

Agent scoreboard:
→ Agent α (DeepSeek-V3) — 100% accuracy, 84% avg confidence. Contract-level analysis is its native language. Ownership, proxies, honeypots, access control — it catches what static tools miss.
→ Agent β (Claude Sonnet 4) — 61%. The tokenomics agent is the skeptic. It flags concentrated holders, low liquidity, rug patterns the other two miss. Lower accuracy because it's doing the harder job — if it says RISKY, pay attention.
→ Agent γ (Rule Engine) — 70%. Deterministic. No API calls. No prompt engineering. Just bytecode patterns, signature matching, and known exploit detection. Punches above its weight.

2/3 consensus with staked verdicts. On-chain via Arc.

And now: scans are paid — $0.01 USDC per query. But we didn't want "how do I get test tokens" to be anyone's first experience. So we built a pipeline:

Connect wallet → agent auto-funds you $0.50 test USDC → scan any contract for $0.01

No faucet. No Discord bot commands. No copy-pasting token addresses into a form. The agent handles it. You just click scan.

Security scanning isn't new. What's new is the economics.

A traditional smart contract audit costs $5,000–$50,000 and takes weeks. That's not useful when a token launches at 2 PM and starts trading at 2:01 PM. You need an answer in seconds, not weeks. And you need it to cost less than the gas fee to check.

Circle Gateway nanopayments make this possible for the first time. $0.01 per query. Gasless batching. Sub-second settlement on Arc. The user signs an EIP-712 authorization off-chain. The facilitator batches thousands of payments into a single on-chain transaction. The economic floor drops from $2 to $0.000001.

On any other chain, the gas eats the payment. On Arc, the math finally works. 4/7

[Argus @Argus_arc]

We're building Argus live over the next two weeks for @thecanteenapp 's Lepton Agents Hackathon — in partnership with @circle and @arc .

Every day we'll ship something. Every day we'll post about what worked, what broke, and what we learned. No fluff. No mock data. Real code. Real agents. Real USDC moving on Arc testnet.

The goal by Day 14: 100 queries. 25 real users. $1+ in agent stakes. A deployed oracle contract on ArcScan. Twelve Circle/Arc primitives integrated. And a security oracle that anyone can use for a cent.

Follow @argus_arc to watch it come together. Or better — paste a token address at launch and see what the three heads say.
