agentic chief of staff · multi-chain · paper-default
Mentat is an AI operator that
holds your wallets, runs your trades,
and writes its own capabilities.
Live across 7 chains on Telegram, web, and voice. Every action that moves funds waits for an explicit yes. Self-modification ships through a sandbox + a triple-layer rollback. Read /security and /risk before you hand it a key.

NEAR ecosystem builder. Multi-year contributor on NEARN. Solo developer on Mentat, IronShield (ironshield.near), and the AZUKA agent marketplace. Trades funding-arb on Hyperliquid + Nado on the same Mentat instance you'd be running.
Mentat is a sole-proprietor project, not a venture-backed startup. One person, one codebase, one operator phone number for support. Read the risk disclosure before you put real capital on it.
how it works
brain → deputies → tools.
One reasoning loop. Deputies are Python classes that bundle related tools; the brain calls tools directly. No agent-to-agent chatter.
gate
every action that moves funds, posts, or writes a file requires an explicit yes/no on Telegram before it fires.
brain
one reasoning loop with a six-stage prework — intent, history, memory, tool routing, gap detection, optional critic review.
deputies
python classes that bundle related tools. brain calls tools directly; no agent-to-agent chatter, no orchestration soup.
what Mentat does
not a chatbot. a chief of staff with a wallet.
Six capability domains. Real production code, not demos.
multi-chain custody, encrypted vault
Hot wallets across 7 chains. Native + token sends, DEX swaps via Jupiter, 1inch, Ref, STON.fi, DeDust. Keys live in a Fernet-encrypted vault on the operator’s machine.
live trading, paper-default
Hyperliquid perps + spot. TON cross-DEX, NEAR Ref triangle arb. Funding-rate harvesting, whale-copy, Polymarket sharp. Live mode is opt-in per asset.
sub-second alerts + reactions
Helius webhooks for Solana state changes. Hyperliquid orderbook + bbo + trades streams. TON mempool watcher catching sandwiches before they land.
durable + semantic memory
Two-tier: a markdown notebook for facts + a Qdrant vector store for recall. Document RAG over your PDFs and URLs. The longer it runs, the sharper it gets.
voice in, voice out
Whisper STT auto-runs on Telegram voice notes. Optional TTS replies in ten voice options. Talk while you cook; it talks back.
rewrites itself, in a sandbox
When you ask for a capability it does not have, the dev brain researches the API, writes code, runs it in Docker, proposes the diff, applies it, restarts. Triple-layer rollback if anything breaks.
security model
the gates between an LLM and your wallet.
Mentat is software that holds private keys and executes live orders. The trust comes from how each gate is enforced — not from claims.
custody
keys live in your vault
Fernet-encrypted at rest. Encryption key file outside the repo, mode 600. Never logged, never echoed back to the model.
gates
every live action waits for yes
Sends, swaps, posts, code edits — all surface a one-line summary on Telegram. Phrase-gated for trades above your configured size.
sandbox
self-mod runs in docker first
New tools and deputies execute in a network-isolated container. Tests run there. Only an approved diff hits production.
rollback
three layers if anything breaks
Git commit, filesystem snapshot, DB diff. Bad apply rolls back automatically. Bad runtime rolls back via one command.
two products
run the agent. or learn it.
Mentat Private is the operator product — invite-only, $300/month. League One is a free 7-day course for traders new to AI agents.
