Autonomous AI security agent that protects your crypto assets 24/7 using NEAR Shade Agents
Billions lost to crypto scams every year because:
- Users can't monitor wallets 24/7
- Phishing attacks are sophisticated
- Unlimited token approvals become security holes
- By the time you notice, it's too late
- Manual monitoring doesn't scale
People need autonomous protection that works while they sleep.
An AI security agent that runs 24/7 in a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), autonomously protecting your crypto assets.
24/7 Autonomous Monitoring - Never stops watching
Real-time Threat Detection - Identifies suspicious activity instantly
Automatic Protection - Blocks dangerous transactions before execution
User-Owned Security - All rules and data encrypted and under your control
Full Audit Trail - Complete transparency on every action
Multi-Chain Support - Monitors across chains via NEAR Chain Signatures
