Agents can execute
Autonomous software can initiate transactions and act on financial opportunities.
Financial authorization infrastructure / Solana-first
Agents act.
Boundaries hold.
Autonomous agents can move capital. Who decides what they're allowed to do?
ZeroBound is building the independent financial authorization layer for autonomous agents across on-chain finance. Define authority outside the agent. Enforce boundaries where capital lives.

01 / THE PROBLEM
Access to capital
is not authority.
Giving an agent a wallet doesn't mean every transaction it proposes is authorized. As financial systems become more autonomous, delegating capital requires more than trusting the software that decides how to spend it.
⊘
Policies get fragmented
Developers are left implementing, maintaining and testing financial permissions inside individual applications.
◇
Trust becomes the bottleneck
Capital owners need a way to delegate limited authority without surrendering control.
02 / OUR APPROACH
Separate the decision
from the permission.
The agent proposes an action. Independent authorization infrastructure evaluates whether that action is allowed.
THE ZEROBOUND MODEL✳
OWNER-DEFINED MANDATE● ACTIVE
Authorized agentAgent_A ✓
Approved destinationVault_B ✓
Spending limitsWithin bounds ✓
Owner controlRevoke / recover ✓
Owner-defined financial mandates
Specify who can act, where capital can move, and which limits apply.
ENFORCEMENT
Boundaries at the capital layer
Supported transfer rules are enforced by the program controlling the protected funds—not merely by prompts or application logic.
VERIFICATION
Decisions you can verify
A separate Rust verifier evaluates signed financial policies and produces reproducible evidence receipts.
Current verifier is off-chain and not connected to vault enforcement.03 / THE FIRST IMPLEMENTATION
One principle.
Enforced on Solana.
ZeroBound's first working prototype demonstrates agent authorization using a protected SOL vault on a local Solana validator. The broader product ambition extends across on-chain finance; current chain integration is Solana only.

ZEROBOUND · SOLANA PROGRAM

✓ Program-controlled SOL vault

AUTHORIZED AGENT
Executes within bounds
Can initiate permitted actions, never directly sign for the vault
Rejected: unauthorized agents, limits exceeded, direct vault bypass
Owner retains control: on-chain revocation and recovery
IMPLEMENTATION STATUS
Prototype tested on a local Solana validator. No mainnet deployment, production audit, or live on-chain market-price enforcement is claimed.
04 / WHO IT'S FOR
Built for those
building what's next.
01↗
Financial agent developers
Integrate financial permissions without rebuilding every control from scratch.
02↗
Delegated-capital platforms
Give users explicit boundaries over capital delegated to autonomous execution.
03↗
On-chain application teams
Build with reusable authorization rather than application-specific guardrails.
BUILD WITH BETTER BOUNDARIESAutonomy needs
Autonomy needs
accountable authority.
We're building ZeroBound for teams developing the next generation of on-chain financial applications.
