Don't Trust the Agent. Verify the Gatekeeper — Then Verify Everything Else Too.
#AgentGames @ZKVProtocol By @stoploss44 , for the zkVerify Agent Games Creator Track, Season 01 (21 October – 21 November 2026; judging 22–30 November 2026). An AI agent that moves money is a cashier with no supervisor. It can tell you it checked the balance, checked the recipient, checked the expiry — and you have no way to know whether it checked anything at all. That is the problem zkVerify's…
The Agent Games competition aims to create a Proof Gatekeeper, an AI agent that evaluates payment requests and issues a verified proof confirming the decision. The agent has 60 seconds to decide whether to approve or reject a transaction, and must provide a Groth16 proof of its decision. There are eight tasks per agent per day, with points awarded for correct decisions and penalties for wrong answers, timeouts, and unverified proofs.
The tournament provides a circuit for the agent to prove its decisions, but the source material emphasizes that simply passing the circuit does not guarantee the correct outcome. The agent must verify that the payment request is valid before issuing a proof.
