Cross-Chain Lottery Platform with MetaMask Embedded Wallets

Description

Syndicate: The Permissioned Autopilot for Web3 Yield

Vision: From Manual Execution to Asset Orchestration

Web3 finance still relies on users to monitor protocols, bridge funds, and manually execute transactions just to capture yield. Syndicate envisions a different future: intelligent agents that keep capital productive while operating within strict, user-defined guardrails.

We're not just building a lottery platform—we're building the orchestration layer that lets users set it, forget it, and stay secure.

How It Works: The Yield Autopilot

  1. Orchestrated Advice
    Users interact with the Venice AI Policy Advisor instead of navigating complex dashboards. The advisor analyzes vault positions and suggests conservative, yield-based strategies—for example: "Use 5% of weekly yield to buy 3 Megapot tickets."

  2. The Safety Grant
    Users approve the policy through the MetaMask Smart Accounts Kit using an ERC-7715 Advanced Permission grant. This creates enforceable spend limits at the protocol level: principal remains protected, permissions are revocable, and users retain full control.

  3. Autonomous Execution
    Once approved, Syndicate handles execution automatically. The agent packages the request with the required ERC-7710 context and routes it through the 1Shot Permissionless Relayer. Transactions execute gaslessly in the background and settle on-chain without manual intervention.

Technical Edge

We don't just integrate the required technologies—we combine them into a cohesive, production-ready system.

  • Best Agent / A2A: Our delegation chain (Permission → Agent → Session → Execution) establishes a strong security model for agentic workflows.

  • Best Use of Venice AI: Venice operates behind server-side JSON schema guardrails. AI can recommend policies, but execution is impossible without an explicit, user-signed MetaMask permission grant.

  • Best x402 / 1Shot: A lightweight JSON-RPC integration with 1Shot's public relayer removes friction entirely, handling status updates from pending to confirmed with zero user involvement.

Impact

Syndicate proves that seamless, Web2-like automation doesn't require sacrificing self-custody. By converting protocol yield into lottery participation, users gain a rewarding, low-risk way to engage with the ecosystem while preserving control over their assets.

Syndicate makes Web3 assets work for the user—while the user remains firmly in control.

Progress During Hackathon

<h2>Development Journey</h2><p>We didn't start from scratch. Over the past three weeks, we transformed an existing yield-coordination engine into a secure, agent-ready platform. Our focus was clear: strengthen security, streamline integrations, and eliminate user friction.</p><h3>Week 1: Foundations &amp; Delegation Architecture</h3><ul><li><p><strong>Infrastructure Refactoring:</strong> Audited and redesigned the purchase flow to support ERC-7715 Advanced Permissions. We decoupled execution from the frontend, enabling multiple execution providers (direct execution and the 1Shot relayer).</p></li><li><p><strong>Delegation Framework:</strong> Implemented the core delegation store and persistent <code data-inline="true" spellcheck="false">permissionContext</code> management, ensuring MetaMask permission grants mapped cleanly to downstream agent sessions.</p></li><li><p><strong>Chain-Agnostic Setup:</strong> Configured support for Base, Base Sepolia, and Ethereum testnets to create a flexible and reliable demo environment.</p></li></ul><h3>Week 2: Agent Orchestration &amp; Security Hardening</h3><ul><li><p><strong>Venice AI Integration:</strong> Built the <code data-inline="true" spellcheck="false">/api/agent/autopilot/advice</code> proxy, moving AI reasoning server-side. By enforcing JSON schema responses and hard-coded limits, the advisor can never exceed a user's predefined risk boundaries.</p></li><li><p><strong>Security Guardrails:</strong> Introduced the <strong>Principal Preservation</strong> sanitizer. Even if AI recommends an aggressive strategy, any policy that puts the user's principal at risk is automatically rejected, preserving true "Yield Autopilot" behavior.</p></li><li><p><strong>Agent Registry:</strong> Developed a unified registry to track agent activity across x402, ERC-7715, and autonomous agent workflows, providing a single source of truth for orchestration.</p></li></ul><h3>Week 3: Integration &amp; Demo Readiness</h3><ul><li><p><strong>1Shot Relayer Integration:</strong> Implemented the full JSON-RPC integration with the public 1Shot relayer, including end-to-end transaction lifecycle tracking from <strong>pending → submitted → confirmed → reverted</strong>.</p></li><li><p><strong>UX Refinement:</strong> Built the <code data-inline="true" spellcheck="false">PermissionedAutopilotPanel</code>, giving users visibility into active policies, relayed transaction status, and one-click permission revocation.</p></li><li><p><strong>End-to-End Validation:</strong> Stress-tested the complete flow—from Venice AI proposing a strategy, to MetaMask permission signing, agent execution with ERC-7710 context, and final settlement through the 1Shot relayer.</p></li></ul><p>By the end of the sprint, Syndicate evolved from a yield engine into a production-oriented, permissioned autopilot for Web3—combining intelligent automation with uncompromising user control.</p>
