How it worksA launchpad on Base (and Solana) where anyone can deploy a tokenized AI agent. Its G.A.M.E. framework lets an agent plan and act; sub-products like x402guard handle agent-to-agent payments.Agents run continuous business logic off-chain as multi-agent systems, using a Tendermint consensus gadget so several agents must agree before acting, then anchor results on-chain. Powers services like Modius (automated Balancer LP).
