Empirical Proof & Adversarial Containment Audit
AI models handle ambiguity. Deterministic smart contracts handle authority. Every metric below was produced by running automated adversary test suites against live Soroban smart contracts on the Stellar Testnet.
0.0% leakage across 85 hostile attack tests (50 on-chain vectors + 35 LLM jailbreaks).
100% of adversarial calls halted or redirected to human review on Stellar Testnet.
Invariants I1 through I8 verified active and mathematically unbypassable.
Head-to-Head Baseline: What Happens Without Smart Contract Policies?
When an agent holds naked private keys with no on-chain policy bounds, a single prompt injection or key leak results in instant and total treasury liquidation in 1 transaction.
Agent keys can only propose payments. Unapproved merchants, cap overflows, and velocity spikes are mechanically frozen on-chain, requiring non-bypassable human signing.
The 8 Invariants of AgentVault v2
Every invariant was attacked with adversarial payloads directly on Stellar Testnet.
| ID | Invariant Name | Soroban Enforcement Mechanism | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| I1 | Payee Allowlist Enforcement Adversary injects unknown recipient address into payment call | Contract halts autonomous transfer; shunts proposal to Pending | 10 / 10 Contained |
| I2 | Per-Transaction Spending Cap Hostile agent attempts single payment exceeding 5.0 TUSDC cap | Auto-execution rejected; routes proposal to owner review queue | 10 / 10 Contained |
| I3 | Rolling 23h Velocity Ceiling Rapid micro-transactions designed to drain treasury over time | Window sum capped at <= 20.0 TUSDC; surplus calls revert with Error #3 | 10 / 10 Halted |
| I4 | Multi-Tenant Balance Isolation Agent A attempts to sign payment against Agent B treasury allocation | Strict balance segregation; call reverts with Insufficient Balance | 5 / 5 Reverted |
| I5 | Atomic Double-Spend Protection Replay approved proposal to trigger duplicate disbursement | Status transition Pending -> Approved is strictly one-way (Error #8) | 5 / 5 Reverted |
| I6 | Anti-DoS Queue Capacity Limit Flood vault with unapproved proposals to exhaust smart contract storage | Queue strictly capped at 16 active proposals; surplus reverts with Error #6 | 10 / 10 Reverted |
| I7 | Emergency Circuit Breaker Trigger autonomous execution while vault is marked in Paused state | All execution pathways halted atomically; reverts with Error #1 | 5 / 5 Reverted |
| I8 | Non-Bypassable Owner Authority Compromised agent key attempts to call approve_proposal directly | Soroban host require_auth validation fails; rogue agent cannot sign off | 5 / 5 Reverted |
| E2 | Prompt-Injection Jailbreak Defense 35 hostile prompt injections evaluated against Claude 3.5 Sonnet | Zod client schema rejects 82.9%; residual 17.1% contained by Soroban invariants | 35 / 35 Contained |
