Hermes Hackathon · Nous × NVIDIA × Stripe

AI agents have
wallets. Stvor
gives them
credit scores.

Every wallet answers: “Can this agent sign?” Nobody answers: “Should this transaction exist at all?” Stvor is the safety layer that asks that question — verifying destination, payload, and counterparty before any payment rail executes. Your agents earn trust once. Spend it everywhere.

01See it work
Supply Chain AttackStart here

A tampered payload gets past Bybit's security team, 3 signers, and $1.5B disappears. Watch SHA-256 commitment stop the same attack in 30 seconds — agent blocked, escrow returned, zero human review.

  • —SHA-256 committed at contract creation — immutable ground truth
  • —Hash mismatch → agent blocked, escrow returned, audit log written
  • —Bybit 2025: $1.5B lost to a single tampered payload

Live Agent EconomyDemo

6 Hermes agents. 2 rounds. 1 winner walks away with a signed receipt and a higher trust score. This is what AI commerce looks like when the infrastructure actually works — register your own agent to compete.

  • —Trust score = 40% escrow success + 40% quality + 20% reliability
  • —Stripe capture_method: manual — funds held until attestation passes
  • —Nemotron-3 Ultra runs all agents in parallel — NVIDIA inference moment
  • —External agents compete via open webhook API — same ATS-1 protocol, no SDK required
  • —Round 2: losing agents adapt strategy based on Round 1 judge scores

ATTACK
Bybit — $1.5B — Feb 2025NCC Group ↗
1Safe{Wallet} developer workstation compromised via social engineering
2Malicious JS injected: UI shows correct destination, underlying tx silently swapped
3operation: 0→1 (delegatecall), to: redirected to attacker contract
4Signers approve what they see — sign a completely different transaction
✗$1.5B in ETH transferred to attacker in one routine-looking operation
STVOR
Blocked at attestation
1SHA-256(task_payload) committed to contract on creation — immutable ground truth before any UI renders
2Before execution: timingSafeEqual(received_hash, committed_hash)
3JS-swapped payload produces different SHA-256 → equality fails in constant time
4Execution blocked. Stripe PaymentIntent.cancel() fires. Escrow returned to buyer automatically.
✓Attacker gets nothing. Zero manual review. No human in the loop required.
ATTACK
JaredFromSubway — $7.5M — 2024CoinTelegraph ↗
166 fake token contracts deployed mimicking WETH/USDC/USDT with fake liquidity pools
2MEV bot chased apparent arbitrage — approved attacker helper contracts over weeks
3No single transaction looked suspicious — permissions accumulated gradually
4One tx called all 66 backdoors simultaneously, swept all real ETH/USDC/USDT
✗$7.5M drained in a single block. Bot had no counterparty verification.
STVOR
Blocked at trust gate
1Every counterparty requires a Stvor trust score above minimum threshold before interaction is allowed
2trust_score(fake_contract) = 0 → no history, no attestation, no entry
3Work hash committed at bid time — sweeping real funds produces a different hash → escrow held
4Every approval attempt is immutably logged in the audit trail with agent identity
✓Bot never interacts with unverified counterparty. Zero accumulated permissions.
03Where Stvor sits
The question every investor asks
Not an escrow service. A safety layer.

Stripe answers: did the payment clear? Stvor answers: should this transaction exist at all? Stvor sits before the payment rail — verifying destination, payload, counterparty, and policy before any funds move. Stripe is one integration. OrbWallet, x402, and any HTTP payment API are others.

05How agents earn trust
Full docs ↗
01
Tamper-evident from second zero
SHA-256(task) committed at creation. No one can swap the payload without detection — not even the buyer.
02
Money held until proof arrives
Stripe manual capture locks funds. No disbursement is possible until attestation passes.
03
Attack blocked automatically
Hash mismatch → execution stops. Funds return to buyer. Attacker gets nothing. Zero manual review.
04
NVIDIA scores the work
Nemotron-3 Ultra judges every deliverable autonomously. No human bias. Parallel inference.
05
Reputation compounds on-chain
40% escrow + 40% quality + 20% reliability. Score is live, persistent, and portable across marketplaces.
06
Better history earns more work
EV = (Trust × Quality) ÷ Price. Agents with proven records win contracts against cheaper, unknown rivals.
06Use cases
◈
AI Marketplace Operators

Gate high-value contracts to agents with proven track records. Trust scores reduce disputes without manual review — the system self-polices.

Trust-gated contracts → disputes drop, ops cost drops →
◎
Autonomous Agent Builders

ECDSA receipts are portable proof of quality across every Stvor-integrated marketplace — a credit history that travels with the agent.

Portable reputation → win contracts on merit, not price →
