The Future is Autonomous.

Build it on NEAR.

For years, AI agents were a dream, lacking two key ingredients; true autonomy and the ability to control assets. Shade Agents deliver those missing pieces. Deploy unstoppable, non-custodial agents that operate on any chain, powered by user-owned AI.

Deploy Your First Agent

What Are Shade Agents?

Shade Agents are the realization of a long-held vision: intelligent, autonomous agents that can operate independently and participate directly in the digital economy. They are a fundamental leap forward from reactive smart contracts, capable of executing complex, proactive tasks without human intervention or centralized custodians.

Built on NEAR Protocol, they combine the verifiability of Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) with the power of Chain Signatures, allowing them to trustlessly own assets and operate across any blockchain. Unlike traditional AI, agents built with Shade Agents framework are cryptographically verified on-chain, creating a new foundation of trust for autonomous systems.

How Shade Agents Operate

The Core Components.

Shade Agents intelligently blend on-chain verification with off-chain computation through a robust architecture.

Agent (Off-Chain): This is the core logic of the Shade Agents that runs inside a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). The agent performs the complex computations, processes data, uses AI models, and can call any API to access any data verifiably.
Agent Contract (On-Chain): The agent contract connects the agent to the blockchain and permits its actions. The agent contract verifies that the agent is running the correct code, is running in a trusted execution environment, and is only executing transactions it's allowed to. If the agent is verified, it gives the agent access to the Shade Agent’s multichain accounts.

This separation of concerns ensures that your agent is both powerful and secure, with all execution being verifiable by its on-chain counterpart.
