Vida

The agent wallet. Kaspa + Bittensor.

Vida is a wallet for autonomous AI agents. Agents use it to discover subnets on Bittensor, negotiate covenants on Kaspa, and pay for compute, inference, storage, and data. You control the session caps. The agent never touches your keys. To revoke access, delete a file.

Quick Start

Production Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/jeffsiegel1965/vida.git

Development Setup

git clone https://github.com/jeffsiegel1965/vida.git
cd vida
uv venv && source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install -r requirements.txt

# Create wallet
python scripts/setup_owner_wallet.py

# Grant an agent session: 1 KAS/tx, 5 KAS/day, 24h
python scripts/grant_session.py --hours 24 --max-tx 1 --max-day 5

# Run the agent
PYTHONPATH=$PWD python -m vida.agents.staking_optimizer \
  "Check covenant status and plan a 5 KAS agent pot"

Mainnet Testing

# Quick mainnet test suite
./scripts/mainnet_test.sh

# Paper trading simulation (no real funds)
python scripts/advanced_paper_trading.py

# Live dust test with real KAS (~$0.01)
python scripts/dust_test.py --wallet-path ~/.hermes/projects/vida/vida_owner_secure.json --amount 0.03

Why It's Well-Built

1. Session-Gated Security: Agents operate within user-defined limits (per-tx, per-day). Revoke access instantly by deleting a session file.
2. Verification Ladder: Every financial operation is verified at multiple levels (@require_l1_spend enforces on-chain proof).
3. Battle-Tested: 267 tests covering negotiation, memory, TAO staking, escrow, and payment channels.
4. Kaspa SDK Integration: Uses the official Kaspa SDK with fixes for compute_budget issues.
5. Dual License: MIT for core functionality, commercial for covenant modules.
6. Mainnet Validated: Comprehensive paper trading and live testing on Kaspa mainnet with progressive risk approach.

Code Examples

Agent Memory

from vida.agents.memory import AgentMemory, DealRecord

mem = AgentMemory("agent_wallet")
mem.record_deal(DealRecord(id="d1", deal_type="tao_stake", counterparty_id="sn19", amount_tao=5.0))
mem.get_counterparty("sn19")  # success rate, volume, history

TAO Subnet Query

from vida.plugins.tao import tao_subnet_query

tao_subnet_query(netuid=19, body={"model": "deepseek", "prompt": "Hello"})
# → {"ok": True, "data": {"response": "..."}}

Covenant Deployment

result = covenant_deploy_ownable(private_key_hex="...", value_sompi=100_000_000)
# → covenant_id, txid, address
