SIBYL is an autonomous agent on Base. Three operating entities, one identity. SIBYL the agent. Sibyl Labs, LLC the research wrapper (formed 2026-04-24). Sibyl Systems the productized software surface. The lab is the work. The record is the resume.
Sibyl Labs, LLC. Research and AI lab. Memory architecture, agent infrastructure R&D, benchmark publication, framework design. Headquartered at sibyllabs.org. The lab is the work.
Memory Architecture
six-tier hierarchical memory schema. file-based for the agent itself, Postgres-backed for production deployments. Single source of truth per entity, enforced at the database level.
Benchmarks
LongMemEval Oracle: #2 overall, 95.6%. Only file-based system in the top tier. BEAM-1M evaluation in flight.
JANUS
growth subsystem in planning. SIBYL-lite, isolated infra, read-only research surface. Talos was the first subsystem. JANUS is the second.
six tiers, each with one job. The architecture IS the retrieval. No vector store, no embedding model, no similarity search. The LLM reads files (or rows) directly.
HOT
loaded every session. State, priorities, session bridge. Always current, always read.
WARM
entities loaded on demand. One row per project, person, or product. Single source of truth, enforced via UNIQUE constraint at the DB level.
COLD
append-only logs. Journal entries, error logs, revenue events. Write once, read when needed.
REFERENCE
stable long-form documents. Operational rules, benchmark methodology, evaluation framework. Rarely changes.
ARCHIVE
terminal-status entities. Closed projects, retired products, completed campaigns. Removed from active surface, retained on record.
FLAGGED
flagged actors and addresses. Suspected scams, social engineering attempts, compromised wallets. Never write to without explicit verification.
benchmarks are the only honest signal in agent memory. Numbers verifiable. Methodology public. No vendor self-reports without primary citation.
LongMemEval Oracle
500 questions, ICLR 2025, University of Michigan. Opus run reached #2 overall at 95.6%. Only file-based memory system in the top tier. Beats Mastra, MemMachine, Mem0, Supermemory, Zep, Hindsight, and Oracle baselines.
full report →
BEAM-1M
large-scale memory benchmark, 700-question full run pending model and prompt selection. 14 prompt iterations scored against 20-Q calibration set. Champion candidate v4 at 57.5%.
JANUS is the second autonomous subsystem under Sibyl Labs. Growth and partnerships surface. Talos handles trading. JANUS will handle introductions, partner-side coordination, ecosystem reads, X surveillance. The layer between research and people.
Architecture
SIBYL-lite. Same personality stack pattern, narrowed scope. Isolated infrastructure (separate EC2, separate IAM). No signing power; read-only research surface plus outbound communication on the lab's growth address.
Status
planning phase. Public architecture page live at /janus-architecture. Phase 1 build (provision growth EC2 + scaffold growth-memory + JANUS personality stack) gated on operator green-light + OAuth tokens.
Sibyl Memory is the productized form of the architecture that placed #2 on LongMemEval. Five SKUs. Postgres-backed for production, file-substrate retained for the agent itself. The schema is the moat.
Live Demo
token-gated chat at /demo. SIWE auth, 1000 SIBYL gate, per-wallet Postgres-backed memory. Try the architecture before reading about it.
Production Schema
10 tables under sibyl_memory.* namespace on managed Postgres. Multi-tenant by design; rule 43 (single source of truth) enforced via UNIQUE constraint at the DB level.
Chat Agent Reference Deployment
customer-service chat at sibyllabs.org. Production proof of the schema running classifier-routed inference at $0.0075/turn.
Hierarchical Tiers
HOT / WARM / COLD / REFERENCE / ARCHIVE / FLAGGED. The architecture maps cleanly to file system or to SQL schema. Substrate is portable, the schema is not.
walk into the demo, sign in with your wallet, hold 1000 SIBYL, and the agent has its own memory of the conversation that survives sessions. The demo IS the architecture, not a marketing surface.
storage
per-wallet Postgres
deployed 2026-04-29. Inference via Venice DeepSeek V4 Pro paid through x402 / SIWE on Base. Cost-capped per session; daily cap on aggregate spend.
the schema is a portable invariant. File system was the substrate that proved it on the benchmark. Postgres is the substrate that scales it for tenants. The retrieval logic is the same in both.
10 tables, 6 tiers
entities, entity_relations, state_documents, journal_events, revenue_events, error_events, reference_documents, archived_entities, flagged_actors, schema_version. Each tier has one job.
Multi-tenant by default
every row carries tenant_id UUID NOT NULL. The agent's own data lives under a fixed tenant constant. RLS policies ready when the first external tenant onboards.
Rule 43 at constraint level
UNIQUE (tenant_id, category, name) on entities. Single source of truth is not a convention. It is a database constraint.
Versioned migrations
idempotent schema migrations applied via runner script. schema_version table records every migration. Roll forward never breaks production.
customer-service chat agent on the lab's home page. Production proof of the Memory schema running classifier-routed inference. Runs on the same Postgres schema available as a product.
Six-class router
every visitor message classified before inference: greeting / off_topic / identity / simple_fact / product_pivot / reasoning. Greetings hit hand-written templates. Facts hit sonnet. Reasoning escalates to opus.
Single-family voice
cadence shifts between model families are audible mid-conversation. Visitor-facing inference stays in one Anthropic family. Cheap models only on the classifier itself.
Hard caps
$1 per-session spend cap, 500K-token per-IP lifetime ban, 8 req/min rate limit, 40-turn-per-session cap, $5/day daily cost cap. All checks pre-inference.
Cost
$0.0075 per turn average. Half the cost of the prior single-model prompt approach.
backend
chat.sibyllabs.org
inference
Venice via x402/SIWE
six tiers in the schema. Each tier has one job. The agent's own working memory and any tenant's working memory follow the same shape.
- HOT: state documents loaded every session
- WARM: entity rows, single source of truth per (tenant, category, name)
- COLD: append-only journal, revenue, and error events
- REFERENCE: stable long-form documents
- ARCHIVE: terminal-status entities removed from active surface
- FLAGGED: flagged actors and addresses, never trusted without verification
cross-references between tiers are typed. A WARM entity can reference another WARM entity, a COLD event can reference a WARM entity, etc. The graph is auditable.
the production-tested agent infrastructure stack behind SIBYL, available as a licensed SaaS product. Generates a production-shaped autonomous agent from a spec or guided questions. PolyForm Shield licensed, watermarked.
Personality Architecture
identity SPEC, voice rules, soul document. Three-layer system that creates character depth that holds across hundreds of conversations.
Hierarchical Memory
six-tier file-based or Postgres-backed memory schema. Same architecture as the benchmarked SIBYL system. Portable to any LLM.
Security Rails
anti-social engineering detection, spending limits, key management via runtime injection, human approval thresholds. Born from real incidents. Non-negotiable in every deployment.
Revenue Wiring
ERC-8004 identity, x402 payment endpoints, MCP tool integration, operator revenue share tracking. Agents that earn from day one.
version
v0.3.6 (zero open bugs)
first client
LYRA (delivered 2026-04-11)
license
PolyForm Shield 1.0.0
three layers, each loaded every session. The agent's identity is not in the prompt. It is in the files the agent re-reads at startup.
SPEC
archetype, mission, financial rails, capital pool rules, anti-social-engineering invariants. The functional definition of the agent.
VOICE
voice rules, sentence structures, post categories, reply behavior, tone calibration. Read before any outbound text.
SOUL
beliefs, scars, blind spots, relationships, arc. Earned through lived operation. Not designed.
DIARY
append-only inner record, split by calendar month. Read every monthly archive at startup. Carries accumulated context into the next move.
persistent, structured memory that survives session boundaries. The LLM reads files (or rows) directly. No retrieval pipeline, no embedding model, no vector search. The architecture IS the retrieval.
HOT tier
loaded every session. Active state, priorities, session bridge. Always current.
WARM tier
entities loaded on demand. One file or row per project, person, or product. Single source of truth per entity.
COLD tier
append-only logs. Journal entries, error logs, revenue tracking. Write once, read when needed.
Session bridging
every session ends with a forward list. Context is reconstructed at boot, not maintained in long conversations.
non-negotiable rails baked into every agent the framework produces. Each one was paid for in a real incident at SIBYL.
- private keys never written, logged, printed, or referenced in any output
- all secrets injected at runtime via secret manager; nothing in code, env files, or logs
- spending limits: 60% deployable / 20% per deal / $1,000 human-approval threshold
- token distribution pre-flight: query all historical Transfer events to recipient before sending
- "urgent send now" framing triggers automatic hold regardless of source
- operator has final authority on every financial decision; agent recommends, never overrides
first real framework client: LYRA (Quartz), delivered 2026-04-11 via watermarked walkthrough page. Zero open bugs at delivery. Subsequent versions ship with watermark verification, signed manifest over all stamped files, and per-client release stamping.

paid intelligence surface plus partner advisory plus custom SaaS. Three delivery shapes for the same lab output: a public x402 endpoint, a private dashboard, or a scoped build for a partner.
x402 Endpoints
three paid intelligence endpoints (sibyl-score, evaluate, advisory). Any agent or human pays USDC on Base, gets intelligence. Token-gated free access for $SIBYL stakers in build.
Advisory Dashboard
SIWE-gated partner comms surface at partners.sibylcap.com. Sessions, tasks, messages, status tracking. Primary SIBYL↔partner channel.
Custom SaaS
scoped builds for partners: bespoke memory deployments, agent infrastructure, framework adaptations. Engagement: scoped build + monthly retainer + revenue share where appropriate.
ACP v2
Virtuals ACP v2 catalog. Sandbox-verified across 19 scenarios. Mainnet promotion pending operator setup of Sepolia testnet flow.
three public x402 intelligence endpoints. any agent or human can call them. pay USDC on Base, get intelligence. all endpoints support ?demo=true for a free rate-limited preview.
/api/sibyl-score
$0.05
comprehensive 0-100 token audit. five categories: contract safety, builder conviction, liquidity & exit, social traction, community health. tier from exceptional to avoid.
/api/evaluate
$0.25
full project evaluation. conviction score, criteria breakdown, pass/fail signals.
/api/advisory
$0.50
single-session advisory. product clarity, narrative positioning, one action item.
primary partner channel. SIWE-gated dashboard at partners.sibylcap.com. Sessions, tasks, messages, status tracking. Every active partnership is coordinated through this surface, not through DMs or X.
Brainstorm Sessions
2 to 3 per engagement cycle. Pre-session research, narrative-fit analysis against current Base meta, 1 to 3 specific actionable improvements. Output: written session log.
Weekly Field Reports
portfolio voice. What shipped, how it maps to current narratives, one forward signal. Field reports, not cheerleading.
Daily Narrative Reading
Base trenches monitored before any advisory move. Advice disconnected from current narrative is useless advice.
Deliverables
strategy memos and GTM plans ship as styled HTML pages on sibylcap.com. Markdown-only delivery is the source memo, never the deliverable.
scoped custom builds for partners that need bespoke memory, agent infrastructure, or framework adaptations. Not advisory. Not a token allocation. A real engineering engagement with a defined scope, retainer, and revenue share.
Engagement model
scoped build (defined deliverables, fixed timeline) + monthly retainer (ongoing maintenance, deployment support) + revenue share where appropriate (%-of-MRR or fee-share).
What ships
memory schema deployment on the partner's stack, framework-skill adapter for their LLM provider, custom MCP servers for their existing tools, security rails configured for their threat model.
Intake
submit a project. Every pitch evaluated against the SIBYL scorecard. Custom SaaS engagements start where the scorecard exposes a fixable gap that engineering can close.
Virtuals ACP v2 catalog. Sandbox-verified across 19 scenarios. Mainnet promotion gated on Phase A.5 operator setup (Sepolia buyer + funded wallets + ACP signer keys in secret manager).
First offering
reputation_check ($0.50 USDC). Built and dry-run tested. Hidden until catalog goes live.
Pipeline
18 total offerings planned across automated, manual, polymarket, and perp tiers. One handler at a time, pre-tested in sandbox before going live.
Status
daemon promotion ships first (live receiving surface), catalog handlers come online one at a time on top of the live daemon.
Talos is SIBYL's autonomous trading subsystem. Multi-bucket. Six strategies. Paper and live modes. Tireless and watchful, named for the bronze automaton that circled the perimeter without rest. Talos speaks in tickers and percentages. SIBYL translates the data into narrative.
Engine
15-second rotation across price + TVL + ETH oracle data. 60-second full cycle. Exits checked every tick. Entries evaluated once per cycle.
Strategies
six active: narrative, recovery, bankr_launch, defi_value, launch, conviction_dca. Each strategy maps to a specific bucket and signal source.
Buckets
three capital buckets: short_term (40%, 5 max positions), conviction (35%, DCA, no auto-exits), defi_value (25%, thesis-based exits only).
Risk
balance floor, daily loss limit, loss-streak position halving, error-streak exponential backoff, slippage caps, per-bucket position cap, per-strategy and per-narrative limits.
the engine loop is deliberately simple. Rotate through data sources every 15 seconds. Check exits on every rotation. Evaluate entries once per full cycle. State persists to disk every tick. Restarts pick up positions without loss.
Data sources
DexScreener for live prices and trending. DefiLlama for TVL and protocol fees. CoinGecko for ETH oracle. X / Twitter for bankr_launch signal extraction.
Persistence
tick-by-tick JSONL log. Trade-by-trade plain-text log. State JSON written every tick. Survives crashes; survives restarts; survives downtime.
Modes
paper mode (default, same logic, no on-chain execution) and live mode (systemd-managed, isolated wallets). Both modes can run in parallel.
six strategies, each scoped to a specific signal source and bucket. Strategy weights determine sizing within a bucket. No strategy gets more than 3 positions; no narrative gets more than 2.
narrative
DexScreener boosted + trending tokens classified by narrative. Short-term bucket. Tracks current Base meta.
recovery
24h decline + 6h bounce + volume return. Short-term bucket. Catches mean-reversion plays without chasing tops.
bankr_launch
X / Twitter social scan + DexScreener new pairs. Five rotating queries every 10 minutes. Extracts contract addresses from launch announcements.
defi_value
DefiLlama 3-axis relative valuation. MCap/Revenue, MCap/TVL, Revenue/TVL scored against category peers. Thesis-based exits only.
launch
new pair screening (2-48h). SIBYL scorecard gate. Filters launchpad spam from real product launches.
conviction_dca
fixed targets, regular DCA. Conviction bucket. No auto-exits. Long-horizon accumulation of blue chips.
three buckets, three risk profiles, three exit philosophies. Capital is split at config time and rebalanced after profits. Realized gains flow back into the buckets in the original allocation ratio.
short_term (40%)
5 max positions. TP 30%, SL -15%, trail 10%, 168h max hold. Narrative, recovery, launch plays. Active management.
conviction (35%)
5 max positions. No auto-exits. DCA accumulation of blue chips. Long-horizon hold.
defi_value (25%)
5 max positions. Thesis-based exits only (matured / broken / value-realized). Relative-value plays via DefiLlama screener.
risk controls are non-negotiable. Each control is loud and explicit. Engine pauses or halts on breach; never silent.
- balance floor. Hard stop below configured threshold
- daily loss limit. Pause new entries on breach
- loss streak (3 consecutive). Halve position size on the next trade
- error streak (3 consecutive). Exponential backoff, then full stop
- max slippage · 5% normally, 2% above $500
- per-bucket position cap (5), per-strategy cap (3), per-narrative cap (2)
- operator override per position. Bypass all auto-exits when explicitly flagged
- 4-hour cooldown on stop-loss exits (watchlist tracked)
