Overview

Think about sending an agent to do important tasks for you. How do you know it’s actually doing what you asked and not being controlled by someone else? How do you ensure that it will always “stay on” and execute its goals? With Ritual, you can build on-chain agents that anyone can verify, while utilizing native AI capabilities and enshrined scheduling.

Traditional System Failures

Trust remains a fundamental challenge in current autonomous agent systems, as agents lack robust mechanisms to prove their autonomous operation. Users have no reliable way to verify that the systems are truly operating independently without human interference, and there’s an absence of verifiable proof for the actions these agents take. This opacity in operation creates a significant barrier to user trust and widespread adoption.

Current autonomous agents are also hampered by substantial technical constraints that limit their effectiveness. Their action space is notably restricted, preventing them from executing more complex or nuanced operations. Integration with external services remains poor, requiring frequent manual context updates that reduce the agents’ ability to respond dynamically to changing conditions or requirements.

Security vulnerabilities pose another significant concern in existing autonomous agent implementations. These systems face ongoing risks of model tampering, while their social outputs lack proper verification mechanisms. Additionally, wallet security issues present serious risks to asset management and transaction execution, potentially compromising the entire system’s integrity.
