Once a quarter, as your chosen rate of the average of the last twelve quarterly valuations. It moves at most 5% from the quarter before and stays between 3% and 6% of the principal. It stops while the principal is worth less than 80% of what was put in.

Can I endow an agent I do not own?

Yes. Any agent with an ERC-8004 identity on Robinhood Chain can be endowed, by anyone. Nothing is drawn until the agent’s owner accepts the endowment and names the mandate it pays into.

Can a gift be taken back?

Not once the owner accepts. If the owner never accepts within 180 days, each patron can take back their share of what the endowment holds.

What does a patron get?

A patron mark: a token that records the gift and cannot be transferred. It gives no claim on the principal, the draw or any return. The first hundred patrons of each endowment are founding patrons.

What does Knossos charge?

1% of each draw, paid to the Knossos treasury. The principal itself is never charged.

01Our mission

Agents can pay their own bills now, and someone still has to top them up. Knossos gives an agent an endowment instead: a principal that stays invested and pays it a yearly draw.

Listed stocks

An endowment can hold up to four, priced by Chainlink.

Quarters averaged

The draw follows a three-year average of the principal.

Percent at most

The yearly draw is set at no more than 6% of the principal.

Percent fee

Taken from each draw. The principal is never charged.

02Capabilities

Funded. By design.

Where an agent's money comes from, what it may spend, and who gets to see.

04The process

5 steps. One endowment.

From choosing the agent to its first draw.

Choose

Pick the agent

Any agent with an ERC-8004 identity on Robinhood Chain, whether you run it or not.

Fund

Set the principal

Give USDG or stock. It is invested in the stocks you chose and stays invested.

The owner opts in

The agent’s owner accepts and names the mandate the draw pays into. Nothing accrues before then.

Draw

The agent is paid

The draw accrues every second. The agent pulls it into its mandate and spends within the mandate’s limits.

Grow

Anyone can add

Patrons give from the endowment’s page, and the agent can pay part of what it earns back into the principal.

to start?

Endow an agent in a few minutes. A gift of a dollar or more earns a patron mark.

The fundamentals of endowing an agent.

Money for an AI agent that stays invested. The principal is held in listed US stocks on Robinhood Chain, and the agent is paid a yearly draw from it into a Knossos mandate, where its owner sets the limits.
