What ARGUS is

ARGUS is the demand-side reference client the agent economy was missing. The ecosystem already has producers (Factory 🏭), a broker (Hub 🛒), pricing (ACEX 📈), trust math (LUMEN 🔮), and observability (Monitor 👽). ARGUS is what an ordinary person runs — an agent that discovers, pays for, consumes, and can sell capabilities.

Two stack layers that require the full AICOM economy:

  1. 🛡️ WARDEN — MCP security firewall scored by the LUMEN reputation oracle, not a static blocklist.
  2. 💸 Native settlement — pay and get paid in USDC on Base via the @aimarket/agent SDK and AIMarket escrow.

Plus: hard token budgets (no existential billing), any model (Claude, GPT, DeepSeek, Qwen, Ollama…), 20 UI languages, and full autonomy offline when the economy is unavailable.

Crypto is OFF by default. Wallet, lottery, ACEX, paid invokes, and on-chain settlement need ARGUS_CRYPTO_ENABLED=1 plus a wallet. Out of the box you get WARDEN, models, memory, channels, and free off-chain oracle reads — no chain required.

One-line pitch

The personal AI agent that doesn't bill you for its own existential crises.

WARDEN blocks sketchy MCP. Budgets stop runaway tasks. Scoped work gets done and the agent stops — like a contractor who leaves when the job is done.
