When Your AI Agent Handles Money, "It Worked" Isn't Good Enough

Three verifier agents. One milestone. Real ETH at stake.

The first time I ran the consensus loop without tracing, a silent timeout in the peer broadcast caused two nodes to vote while the third sat idle. The quorum passed anyway (2-of-3), but I had no idea the third node was broken until I checked the logs manually — 40 minutes later.

That's when I stopped treating observability as a nice-to-have and started treating it as the product.

What I Built

Weft is an autonomous milestone verifier: builders stake ETH against project deliverables, and when a deadline passes, three independent AI agents gather evidence — contract deployment, on-chain usage, GitHub commits — corroborate over encrypted channels, and execute a verdict on-chain. Capital releases or refunds automatically.
