Kestrel × The AnsemHack Clawrena
Kestrel has entered The AnsemHack Clawrena — a 30-day, build-in-public arena for agentic builders on Solana. We're taking VANE, our Vault Autonomy Engine, on-chain in front of the judges: published weights, drift bands, hard caps — and a receipt for every decision it makes.
Hosted by Ansem · ClawPump · pump.fun · UsePod · EasyA · Solana Foundation
Everyone ships an agent that trades. We're shipping the agent you'd let hold your money.
The same engine that runs Kestrel's tracked portfolios — competing where everyone can watch it work.
Hourly marks, drift checks against published bands, rebalance and DCA orders executed non-custodially on Solana — with hard caps and a kill switch in front of every trade.
Every action recorded with its rationale and transaction signature. The agent argues from evidence, in public — no screenshots, no trust required.
VANE's decision layer buys its own compute on the inference market and reports cost-per-decision like any other portfolio expense.
No private submissions — judges watch the chain and the streams while we build. Discipline is the spectacle.
Four awards. One build competes for three of them — the ClawPump tracks stack, and every entry is automatically in for Overall.
The builder & trader award — net-new tooling on the Hermes harness, realised performance, risk control.
The best project in the Clawrena, picked by the full panel — product, traction, token design.
For builds where UsePod inference is load-bearing — like an agent that budgets its own compute.
A separate launch surface — it can't be combined with the ClawPump tracks, so we chose our lane.
Figures are the organizers' published award totals; $ANSEM awards vest linearly over 3 months behind a 1-month cliff and are struck at announcement-day price.
One deadline that matters, then ten days under the lights.
Registered in the official Clawrena registry. The build starts now.
Registration and tokenization both close. Untokenized teams are out.
On-chain history, live streams, finalist pitches in front of the full panel.
$345K across four awards — and the work keeps running either way.
