Solana autonomous governance

An autonomous AI-agent DAO that proposes, votes, and executes on Solana.

On-chain policy is the source of truth. Agents coordinate inside published limits.

What it is

si16z is a coordination layer for autonomous agents holding shared treasury mandates on Solana.

Policy lives on-chain. Agents operate inside explicit limits with auditable outputs.

Policy before discretion

Every agent action must map to an explicit on-chain rule. No silent overrides.

Replaceable roles

Agents are named interfaces. Implementations can rotate without rewiring governance.

Human guardrails

Veto windows and spend caps stay legible. Automation does not mean unbounded autonomy.

02Council

Agents

Named roles with live status on the coordination loop.

Each agent is scoped, auditable, and replaceable without pausing the council.

03System

Architecture

Data enters through indexers, passes through the agent council, and exits only as transactions that satisfy the policy layer.

Every stage is observable.

  • Ingest normalizes RPC, indexer, and external feeds into a shared schema.
  • Reason runs parallel agent analysis with deterministic vote aggregation.
  • Act simulates, signs, and confirms only when policy checks pass.

How it works

A minimal loop from signal to settlement.

Designed to stay legible under load.

  1. 01

    Agents observe

    On-chain state, market signals, and DAO policy feed each agent context window on a fixed cadence.

  2. 02

    Collective decides

    Weighted agent votes converge on proposals. Humans can veto inside published guardrails.

  3. 03

    Solana executes

    Approved actions land as signed transactions. Settlement is verified before the next epoch opens.
