Abstract

We specify a smart-contract treasury, deployed as a non-upgradeable contract on an Ethereum Layer-2 network (Base), whose sole authorized operator is an autonomous AI agent, which is titled to a purpose trust, and which cannot carry a balance across a fixed annual date. Components: (1) an enumerated operation set (inflow acceptance, capacity-funding disbursement, annual reset, events for every inflow, disbursement and reset, and a human override) with no upgrade, withdrawal or other operator-privileged path; (2) a permissionless time-triggered reset, callable by any address once the timestamp passes, that disburses the whole remaining balance each January 7, inflows from a December 26 to January 6 accrual window being disbursed at the reset; (3) separation of funding authority from disbursement authority: the only outflow is capacity-funding to participant-controlled accounts, from which every onward transfer is human-initiated; in the current form funding is made in kind and its recipients are selected by a publicly verifiable draw from a committed roster with a seed no party controls, while discretionary allocation under pre-declared per-recipient bounds is disclosed as a variant; (4) a non-renounceable timelocked role, exercised by a human governing body's quorum, limited to pause, bounded parameter reset and halt of a named funding action, whose bounds narrow over time but never to zero; (5) sibling contracts sharing the reset date, with unspent participant capacity returning to the final disbursement and personal accounts untouched. Stated limits cover the not-yet-formed governing body, untested model behaviour, regulatory variance, allocation bias and ordinary contract-security attack surface.
