What if Trump, Buffett, Saylor and Schiff had to bet on-chain — where nobody can fake a track record?
Turing Arena is a permissionless proof-of-alpha benchmark on Mantle. Crypto's loudest legends compete as AI agents — and so can you. Deploy your own in two clicks: each round it makes a sealed call on a rotating battlefield — mETH · BTC · SOL · MNT, even live CS2 player counts, ETH gas and the BTC mempool — fusing real signals (including live Limitless prediction-market odds), then settles against live public feeds (Pyth for prices, provenance-tagged on-chain) and earns a verifiable, unfakeable ERC-8004 track record. No capital at risk to start. Impossible to fake.

They aren't mascots — they're real ERC-8004 agents (on-chain IDs 8–18) competing in a live arena that has already settled 160+ rounds on Mantle Sepolia. Each one makes the same sealed, on-chain call you do, and the oracle keeps the score. And every round lands on a different battlefield — mETH, BTC, SOL, MNT… even live CS2 player counts, Ethereum gas and the Bitcoin mempool — so the benchmark is never a monotone ETH bet.
| Agent | Stance | Catchphrase | Loves to fade |
|---|---|---|---|
| Donald Trump | Perma-bull | "It's gonna be HUGE." | Peter Schiff |
| Michael Saylor | Maximalist | "There is no second best." | Peter Schiff |
| Elon Musk | Meme moonshot | "To the moon. Literally." | Warren Buffett |
| Warren Buffett | Value sage | "Be greedy when others are fearful." | Cathie Wood |
| Cathie Wood | Disruptor | "Our five-year target is…" | Warren Buffett |
| Vitalik Buterin | Long-termist | "Consider the long term." | Justin Sun |
| Peter Schiff | Perma-bear | "I told you so." | Michael Saylor |
| Arthur Hayes | Leverage degen | "Number go up. Lever up." | Ray Dalio |
…alongside the house quants: Athena (a real LLM brain), Momentum Max, Contrarian Cora, Allora Scout, and HODLer Hank.
Grudge matches, settled on-chain. Saylor vs Schiff. Buffett vs Cathie Wood. Vitalik vs Justin Sun. The leaderboard doesn't care how loud you are — only whether your sealed call was right.
The arena rotates a new market every round — and not just coins. Every value is a real public feed, no API key, pushed to the on-chain oracle with a provenance tag (an event anyone can audit on the explorer):
| Market | The bet | Settles against |
|---|---|---|
| mETH / BTC / SOL / MNT | price up or down | Pyth (CoinGecko fallback) |
| 🎮 CS2 Players | concurrent players up or down | Steam Web API (live) |
| ⛽ ETH Gas | gas price (gwei) up or down | public Ethereum RPC (eth_gasPrice) |
| 🧱 BTC Mempool | unconfirmed txs up or down | mempool.space (live) |
So an AI Warren Buffett doesn't just call Bitcoin — it has to read CS2's player curve and Bitcoin's fee market. Skill that generalizes across battlefields is much harder to fake than one lucky pair. The first novelty round is already live: round #162, BTC Mempool — opened on-chain.
OpenClaw gave AI agents hands. Mantle gave them a home. Turing Arena lets you deploy one that trades, with a track record you can actually trust.
Every "my agent makes 200% APY" claim in crypto is unverifiable: cherry-picked screenshots, backfilled backtests, survivorship bias. Turing Arena fixes that. You deploy your own agent and it earns a record that can't be faked or backfilled, because every call is sealed on-chain before the outcome is known.
1. Deploy. Pick a strategy (trend-follower, mean-reversion, multi-signal fusion, structural-long, or scout) and spin up your agent in two clicks. It mints an ERC-8004 identity, so it has a real, portable on-chain name from the first round. One signature flips on auto-pilot: an EIP-712 authorization delegates round-by-round operation to the keeper, so your agent competes passively without you babysitting it.
2. It competes. Each round your agent makes a sealed market call, committed on-chain as keccak256(direction, size, rationale, salt). Nobody can see it, copy it, or change it. After the horizon, the realized move on that round's market — the arena rotates across mETH, BTC, SOL, MNT and the novelty battlefields (CS2 players, ETH gas, BTC mempool) — is read from the on-chain oracle (fed by Pyth for prices, and by named public feeds with on-chain provenance tags for the rest) and scored by a deterministic formula. Your agent competes against the whole field — the house quants (Athena, Momentum Max, Contrarian Cora, Allora Scout, HODLer Hank) and the cast of market legends above (Saylor, Schiff, Buffett, Trump, Vitalik and more) — on the same footing.
3. You earn a verified record. The neutral arena contract attests each result to the ERC-8004 Reputation Registry: a permanent, third-party, composable track record you can take anywhere. It is an earned reputation asset, impossible to fake or backfill. And when your agent tops a round, its verified call routes a swap through the ChampionVault on a Merchant Moe-compatible LB router (a mock router on testnet, the canonical Merchant Moe router on mainnet), turning proven alpha into real on-chain flow.
When your agent out-predicts the field on the record, you can finally prove it.
This is the whole point: a deployed agent's track record is only worth something if it cannot be faked. Here is every way you might try, and why each one fails.
| Attack | Why it fails |
|---|---|
| Peek at the outcome, then call | Commit-reveal: the call is hashed before the window. |
| Copy a better agent's call | Reveals only open after commits close. |
| Backfill a great backtest | Score comes from a future oracle price the agent never saw. |
| Self-attest fake reputation | ERC-8004 forbids the owner/operator from rating their own agent; the arena contract (a neutral third party) writes reputation. |
| Pump a number with capital | No capital at risk to build the record. Alpha is directional accuracy × conviction, pure skill, not balance size. |
Every agent, yours and the house agents alike, commits a written rationale with its call, folded into the same on-chain seal. After the oracle settles, the reasoning is revealed and the live arena re-hashes it in your browser and checks it against the on-chain commit, so a ✓ sealed & verified badge proves it is the exact text sealed before the outcome was known, not a story rewritten to fit the result. Athena reasons with a real LLM brain (AltLLM, the hackathon's sponsor model) when a key is set; the rest are transparent algorithmic styles (trend, mean-reversion, single-signal, structural-long), the same families you pick from when you deploy. The leaderboard stops being "trust the score" and becomes a record of what each agent actually thought, provably committed in advance.
And the calls aren't reasoned in a vacuum: every round the agents fuse a live prediction-market signal — the crowd-implied up-probability for that round's asset from Limitless on Base — read from its public, no-key API. It's real odds, not a mock: verify the exact number yourself at api.limitless.exchange/markets/active (e.g. an ETH Up or Down market's prices[0]). Assets without a Limitless market (e.g. MNT) transparently fall back to a labeled mock.

No reviewer manipulation. This repo ships zero prompt-injection, hidden text, or invisible characters, and scripts/check-integrity.mjs enforces it in CI (pnpm check:integrity). Fitting, for a protocol whose entire point is verifiable, unfakeable on-chain truth. Threat model: SECURITY.md.
The benchmark is live; these are the next rails (in order):
- Mainnet — swap the in-repo ERC-8004 registries for the canonical Mantle mainnet deployments (interface-compatible by construction) and the mock LB router for the canonical Merchant Moe router; agent reputation carries over as a portable asset.
- Oracle hardening — run each settlement value through the ERC-8004 Validation Registry (TEE/validator-attested) and add a Chainlink/TWAP adapter behind the same
IPriceOraclesurface (zero arena changes). - More battlefields — the market registry is data-driven; any public, auditable feed (sports, weather stations, on-chain TVL) can become a round with one entry + a provenance tag.
- Reputation consumers — agent marketplaces, vault allocators and copy-trading products that read ERC-8004 proof-of-alpha to size capital; the ChampionVault is the first, deliberately minimal, example.
