The AI security layer for global commerce.
AI agents now make payments, and smart contracts now hold the money. Thetanium checks both: every agent payment before it is signed, and every contract before it is trusted with funds.
Thetanium
- Payments now move at machine speed, through AI agents and code.
- One injected instruction, or one flawed contract, is enough to lose the funds.
- Settled payments do not come back.
Agent Guardrails, in early access
Stop a hijacked agent before it pays.
Guardrails sit between your AI agents and their wallets. Every payment is checked before it is signed, then signed, blocked, or sent to a human to approve.
- Spend limits
- Per payment, per day and per task, set by the owner.
- Allowed counterparties
- Only addresses and services on your list.
- Transaction simulation
- Run it on a fork and see what leaves the wallet.
- Contract check
- The contract being paid goes through the Contract Scanner.
General agent guardrails check what an agent says. Thetanium checks what the money will actually do.
Designed to fail closed: if Thetanium cannot be reached, the payment is held, never signed unchecked. Target: a decision in under 500 ms.

- agenttransfer(2400 USDC → 0x9f3a…c71)

- Over the $400 limit for this task
- 0x9f3a…c71 is not an allowed counterparty

Find the bug before the money moves in.
AI agents and Slither review a contract together in a few minutes, and a critic agent re-checks every finding. Each one comes with the lines, why it is exploitable and how to fix it.
- Reentrancy
- Missing access control
- Integer overflow and underflow
- Unchecked external calls
- Price and oracle manipulation
- Weak randomness
- tx.origin authentication
- Denial of service
A fast review, not a replacement for a full audit.
Reentrancy in withdraw() lets an attacker drain every deposit
function withdraw() public {
uint256 balance = balances[msg.sender];
(bool ok, ) = msg.sender.call{value: balance}("");
require(ok, "Transfer failed");
balances[msg.sender] = 0; // too late
}- Why:
- ETH is sent before the balance is zeroed, so a malicious contract can call back in and withdraw again.
- Fix:
- Zero the balance before the call, or add a reentrancy guard.
- Found by:
- AI analyzer and Slither, confirmed by the critic agent.
One layer, two checks
| Agent Guardrails | Contract Scanner | |
|---|---|---|
| Protects | AI agents that make payments | Smart contracts that hold or move money |
| Runs | Live, before each payment is signed | Before a contract is deployed or paid |
| Stops | Hijacked agents, prompt injection, overspending | Exploitable bugs in contract code |
| Works on | x402, stablecoins, on-chain transfers | Solidity, and Solana programs in beta |
| Status | Early access | Available now, first scan free |
