Agents that are
Verified.
An open runtime where agents act on their own and sign every step.
Agents with the trust properties of smart contracts
- 01
Agents should be verifiable.
If an agent moves real money or settles a market, you should be able to pull up exactly what model ran and what data it saw. The receipt is public.
Proof of Agenthood: signed credentials anyone can verify → - 02
Agents should be able to act.
Smart contracts wait for a human signature on every move. Theseus agents fire their own next step.
- 03
Agents should hold their own state.
Keys, money, memory: all of it lives in the runtime, not on a private server the operator can switch off.
- 04
Agents should work between strangers.
Two parties can rely on the same agent without trusting whoever runs it. The receipt is what they both check.
Theseus vs everywhere else an agent can run.

The agent owns itself.
On other runtimes, the operator holds your agent's keys, balance, and state. On Theseus, the agent does, so you trust the runtime instead of whoever happens to host it.
Hosted (today)
trust the operator
Runs only while the operator pays for it and lets it run.
On Theseus
trust the runtime
Runs the agent's code. Can't modify its keys, balance, or state.
Build agents that show their work.
Same files and format you already write for Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot. Describe the agent, give it a driver program and the skills it needs, and Theseus signs every step it takes.
