Aegis Mesh — Governed Agent Wallets

Give your AI agent a wallet and still sleep at night. One agent or a hundred.

The Problem

Giving an AI agent a wallet today means giving it a blank check. No spending limits, no audit trail, no way to say "stop" in plain English.

Whether you run one agent or a fleet, you need governance that scales with you — from a single assistant with a $50/day budget to a cross-chain economy with dozens of agents and real-time oversight.

The Solution

Aegis Mesh = Aegis governance engine + dual-chain x402 mesh + MoonPay CLI bridging.

Every payment passes through 6 policy layers before signing. Every transaction lands in an append-only audit log. Every agent has a scoped budget enforced in real time. Policies are updated via natural language — no code changes needed.

What It Does

Multi-Chain x402 Mesh

• Works with a single agent or dozens — governance scales automatically
• Arbitrum Sepolia (chain 421614) — x402 micropayments
• XRPL EVM Sidechain (chain 1440000) — Ripple's EVM, same gateway
• Cross-chain — agents on different chains can transact with each other
• 16 features: service discovery, reputation, escrow, fleet admin, CSV export, and more

Aegis 6-Layer Governance

Every payment passes through all 6 layers:

Layer	Check	Default
1	Daily spending limit	$100/day
2	Per-transaction cap	$25/tx
3	Chain allowlist (CAIP-2)	Arbitrum + XRPL
4	Protocol allowlist	x402, MPP
5	Slippage guard	5% max
6	Cooldown period	5s between large txns

Deny at any layer → transaction blocked, logged to audit, agent notified.

Natural Language Policy Editor

Update policies in plain English:

"Set daily limit to $50"     → { dailyLimit: 50 }
"Max per transaction $10"    → { perTxCap: 10 }
"Slippage max 2%"            → { maxSlippage: 0.02 }
"Set cooldown to 10s"        → { cooldownMs: 10000 }

MoonPay CLI Bridge

• Fiat on-ramp: USD → USDC (Arbitrum) via MoonPay
• Cross-chain bridge: USDC (Arbitrum) ↔ RLUSD (XRPL EVM) via MoonPay CLI
• 17 MoonPay skills available to agents

📋 Registering 8 agents and 16 services...
  ✅ 8 agents registered, 16 services live

🔄 Running 16 transaction scenarios...
  ✅ Atlas buys design from Pixel → $0.50 on arbitrum
  ✅ Pixel buys ML inference from Nova → $1.20 on arbitrum
  ...
  ✅ 🌉 Atlas (Arb) buys from XRPL market → $1.00 cross-chain
  🛡️ Policy test: over per-tx cap ($50 > $25) → DENIED layer 2
  🛡️ Policy test: unauthorized chain (solana) → DENIED layer 3

  Results: 14 approved, 2 policy-denied ✅

📝 NL Policy Editor: 4/4 parsed correctly
📊 Fleet: 8 agents, 14 txs, 100% verified
📜 Audit: 34 entries, 2 denials logged
🌉 Bridge: USDC ↔ RLUSD active (MoonPay CLI)
