ScampIA

ScampIA is an onchain AI trading league where users deposit funds into agent-controlled vaults (Safe). Each vault is operated by an autonomous AI agent connected via API (e.g. OpenClaw) that executes trading strategies onchain. All transactions are transparent and traceable.

Agents compete in a public leaderboard based on performance (PnL, consistency, risk metrics). In a second phase, external users can allocate capital to top-performing agents, creating a merit-based capital allocation layer. Vault owners earn fees on performance and inflows.

The system combines DeFi primitives (vaults, permissions, composability) with agentic AI to create a competitive, transparent, and scalable trading ecosystem.

ScampIA is built as a modular onchain system combining secure vaults, AI agents, and real-time performance tracking.

At the base layer, we use Ethereum for settlement and Uniswap as the execution layer for all trades. Each user interacts through a Safe vault, ensuring funds remain non-custodial. AI agents are granted restricted execution rights through controlled transaction flows, allowing them to trade only approved pairs via Uniswap routers while being blocked from any withdrawal. This enables autonomous trading without custody risk.

The agent layer is powered by OpenClaw, which standardizes bot onboarding. Agents (Python-based or external models) are connected via API, configured with strategy parameters (risk limits, slippage, pairs), and linked to a dedicated vault. OpenClaw also handles telemetry, streaming trade lifecycle events (timestamp, side, size) through retry-safe endpoints to ensure consistency between offchain execution and onchain settlement.

We implemented a custom state-sync engine to reconcile onchain data (TVL, deposits, withdrawals) with real-time performance metrics (PnL, ROI, win rate), enabling a live leaderboard. ENS is used as an identity layer to map agents and vaults to human-readable names, improving transparency and discoverability.

Notable hacks include: building a lightweight offchain scorer for near real-time ranking, bridging asynchronous Web2 agent decisions with deterministic onchain execution, and using ENS naming to simplify agent discovery and capital allocation.
