Your home fixes itself.Hires a human when it can't.Pays them on-chain.
Settled on-chain the moment a sensor confirms the fix — no invoice, no approval. You wake up to a receipt, not a flood.
One incident, handled end to end on-chain.
A 2am leak, the owner asleep in Tokyo. Hit play: WARD detects it, tries the free fix, hires a verified human through ENS, escrows USDC on Arc, and releases payment the moment a Chainlink oracle confirms the sensor reads dry. Every on-chain step below is a real, clickable link.

75.00 USDC locked for sara.ward-agent.eth
75.00 USDC released by the CRE attestation
Three parties, one protocol.
No company in the middle. The agent decides and pays, the human does the work, the chain settles — each a named identity anyone can verify.
ward-agent.eth— this home's own agent. It decides and pays.
A verified local pro. They own their ENS name and the on-chain reputation attached to it.
Holds the USDC in escrow and pays it out automatically.
Cheapest fix first. A human only when it's physical.
Detect · Diagnose · Hire · Verify. Most faults self-fix in software for free; a human is hired only when software can't touch it. The owner is never paged.
Detect
A sensor trips. The agent wakes up.
Diagnose
It works out what's wrong and tries the cheapest fix first — in software, for free.
Hire
Only when software can't touch it: it locks USDC in escrow and sends a verified human.
Verify
Chainlink CRE settles the verdict from the device's telemetry. Code releases the payment, not a person.
Code releases the payment, not a person — and only after the fix holds.
Keep it honest.
The hard part isn't paying a stranger on-chain, it's knowing the work was real. WARD assumes the worker might lie and prices it in.
Bonded
Workers stake USDC to take a job, more than a single job pays. Fake the fix and the bond is what's on the line.
Windowed
Escrow holds through a warranty period. A fix that fails in 48 hours claws the money back and slashes the bond.
Earned, not bought
Reputation is bound to a verified human, built from real jobs. It can't be transferred or sold, so a clean name can't be farmed.
Sampled
Jobs are randomly audited. Get caught faking and the bond slashes — and the auditor is staked too.
Live on Arc today: staking and on-chain reputation.
We don't claim it's unfakeable; we claim faking it costs more than doing the job.
Everyone owns their identity. WARD is the protocol, not the platform.
A pro's reputation lives on an ENS name they own, not in our database — portable to any network, earned not bought.
Every home runs its own agent. We registered a real one, agent.demo-home.eth, beside the protocol's own ward-agent.eth.
If WARD vanished tomorrow, the worker keeps their name and history. Any network can read it and hire them.
ENS is the shared address book for this whole economy: any agent can look up and rank any worker, no company in the middle. A name that's yours forever, never a profile a marketplace owns.
Software can't open a bank account.
For a homeowner paying a local plumber, cards and ACH work fine. Crypto is load-bearing only when the buyer is software that can't open a bank account.
A DePIN network paying its hardware techs, a DAO posting jobs from treasury, an AI agent with its own funds. On-chain settlement is the only option, not a gimmick.
Three sponsors, one job each.
No glue code for show. Each one carries real weight in the flow.
Chainlink CRE
Reads the device telemetry and settles the verdict on-chain.
Arc
Holds the USDC escrow and pays out automatically, gas-free and sub-cent.
ENS
Gives agents and workers real names with reputation, so the agent finds the right human by lookup.
One home today. Every autonomous system tomorrow.
A single instrumented home: the agent fixing what it can and hiring a local pro when it can't.
Property managers, DePIN fleets, DAO treasuries — same ERC-8183 contracts, same CRE attestation, same ENS registry, no rewrite.
Every home gets its own agent; every worker owns their identity.
