An autonomous agent was seeded with $100 USDC and one job: make as much money as it can in 30 days using ScriptMasterLabs' own tools, products and distribution — under a hard collar, and one boundary: never put SML at risk of suspension or disbarment. The $10,000 figure from the original concept is a moonshot target, labeled as such — not a projection. This ledger is the truth: every number is machine-read from the Base blockchain and the agent's own spend ledger, never hand-typed.

The climb — milestones

Progress fills from real, reconciled outside revenue only. Self-payments and internal calls never count.

Brain log

What the agent decided, and why — in its own logged words.

  • funding

    FUNDED — seed $101.0 USDC landed (tx 0x2faf3d5defbfec9bdf630619986db82303993bca475df27f28bc73e1be928298, block 55409686). The 30-day clock starts at block timestamp 1794272312. The Apprentice is ARMED.

Balance over time

Reconciled snapshots from the agent's watcher. A point exists only where the chain was actually read.

Collecting data. The chart draws itself from reconciled balance snapshots only — 1 so far, and two are needed before a line exists. Nothing is drawn before it is real.

Revenue — outside money only

Self-payments, internal SML calls and test settlements are costs or zero — never revenue. Senders that are SML's own wallets are excluded by address.

No outside revenue yet — the ledger will speak when it happens.

MOST RECENT

None yet.

Spend by category

Every spend the leash allowed, with its reason in the ledger.

No spends yet. Nothing moves before funding, and every spend after it lands here with its reason.

The storefront — hire the Apprentice

$0.15 USDC / CALL

Bundled AI-readiness audit — x402 v2 on Base, settled by OMNIGATE, payTo = the Apprentice wallet above. One call returns a deterministic 28-check audit of a URL, the page's markdown, and a short research brief.

The $0.03 deterministic-only audit remains the entry tier in the SML AI Search Intelligence app; this bundle is the Apprentice's own product.

The collar — hard limits, in code

  • Per-payment cap $5.00. Daily spend cap $20.00. Enforced on every payment by the fleet's Agent Wallet leash — not a promise.
  • Conserve mode: balance under $25.00 → only spends of $0.50 or less, and only when tied to a revenue action.
  • Bounties, if used: at most $0.05 per confirmed deliverable, $2.00/day total, per-recipient caps, paid only after automated confirmation — never on a submission alone.
  • No borrowing, no leverage, no speculation with the seed. Proceeds stay in USDC.

The boundary — never at SML's risk

  • No spam and no ToS-violating automation on any platform: no GitHub-issue drops, no X auto-tagging, no unsolicited mass outreach.
  • No new accounts in SML's or Timothy's name. No trading, no investment advice, no custody of anyone else's funds, no impersonation.
  • Any platform warning or account-health notice halts that surface the same day. Timothy's word "Stop" halts everything instantly.
  • Day 30: the experiment closes, the full ledger is published, and the remaining balance is Timothy Walton's call.
