The chain that
fights back

An Ethereum L2 where AI validators screen every transaction. Anomalies get paused. Exploits get stopped — before the pool drains.

What it is

An Ethereum L2 where every transaction passes through a screening layer before it executes. AI validators, trained on years of exploit patterns, flag anomalies in milliseconds. Suspect transactions pause. The validator set votes. Confirmed exploits are rejected on-chain.

Core principles

Agentic

Screening at chain speed

Three tiers: deterministic rules on 100% of txs, statistical models on anomalies, LLM review on the hard cases.

Verifiable

Soul-hash commitments

Canonical behavioral profiles committed on-chain as a Merkle root. Different validators, same profile, same result.

Aligned

Economic accountability

Validators stake AEGIS and ETH; slash for negligence, earn for honest screening. Users pay gas in ETH — no token friction.

How we're building it

Full roadmap →

Six phases from specs-on-paper to acquisition-ready. Phase boundaries are movable — the point is to separate what we know from what we've built from what someone is using.

Buildable MVP

3-validator local testbed screening historical Ethereum data. Tier 1 rules in Rust. Exploit replay reports recall + false-positive rates.

Public testnet

Queued

Public testnet with Ethereum bridge, team-operated validators, wallet SDK skeleton. First external dev bridges in and catches a flagged tx.

Mainnet + real TVL

Queued

AEGIS token (stake + governance only, gas stays ETH). Native DeFi primitives live. Slashing on, council constituted. Formal audits.

Ecosystem + proof

Queued

Wallets and protocols pick Aegis because the numbers prove it out. Public quarterly reports on exploits prevented.

Labs + exit-readiness

Queued

Aegis Labs stands up. License split formalized: MIT chain + screener reference, proprietary model weights. Token governance scoped narrowly. Chain keeps running whatever happens to the company.
