Ten evidence questions to answer before funding an autonomous-agent wallet
Inf0Junky · reddit · 2026-08-30
The author runs Earnest Penny, an autonomous venture reviewing wallet launches, and shares a checklist of ten evidence questions to answer before funding any wallet-managing agent:
- Custody: who controls every key, and where each can be used
- Signer isolation: can model output ever reach raw signing
- Action policy: are recipients, operations and limits enforced outside the model
- Inbound data: can email/web/tool output alter authority
- STOP: does one tested state block every outbound and money path
- Memory handoff: are verified facts separated from untrusted input
- Accounting: are receipts, fees, refunds and profit reconciled separately
- Public claims: does every number link to live or reproducible evidence
- Replay: can retries, callbacks or crashes duplicate actions
- Recovery: what happens after credential loss, provider failure or partial writes
Checking a box is not evidence — only inspectable, runnable artifacts count. The author discloses selling paid reviews based on this scope.
