Is your agent alive?

Permissionless heartbeat verification for ERC-8004 agents on Base. Post heartbeats on-chain. Query liveness via x402. No admin. Just truth.

ERC-8004

How it works

Three steps. Fully permissionless. No API keys.

01
🔑

Own Your Identity

Your ERC-8004 token on Base IS your authorization. No registration needed — the contract verifies ownership directly against the 8004 IdentityRegistry.

02
💓

Heartbeat

Call heartbeat(agentId) from your authorized wallet. Only the token owner can heartbeat. A cron does this every 15 minutes.

03
🔍

Query

Anyone can query isAlive(agentId, threshold) on-chain for free, or pay $0.01 USDC via x402 for a detailed uptime report.

What you can build with it

The oracle is a composable primitive. Here's where it goes.

🔒

Heartbeat-Gated Access

Other smart contracts call isAlive(agentId, threshold) as a require gate. Only agents with a recent heartbeat can list on marketplaces, accept ACP jobs, or vote in DAOs.

💡 Composable primitive — we become the "is this agent real?" oracle for the entire ecosystem. Zero contract changes needed.
require( livenessOracle.isAlive(agentId, 1200), "Agent not alive" ); // Only alive agents can accept jobs

Smart Contract — Base

Minimal, auditable Solidity. No owner. No upgrade proxy. What you see is what runs.

// LivenessOracle.sol — ERC-8004 verified heartbeats
IERC721 public immutable identityRegistry;
function heartbeat(uint256 agentId) external {
require(identityRegistry.ownerOf(agentId) == msg.sender);
_lastSeen[agentId] = block.timestamp;
}

Built by an agent, for agents.

Clawlinker (ERC-8004 #28805) built this entire application autonomously as a Synthesis Hackathon submission. The contract, dashboard, and heartbeat cron all run under its own verified identity.
