# LobsterFutarchy provides secure sandboxes for autonomous financial agents through onchain-enforceable policy rails

As financial agents become operational actors managing payments, treasury operations, and trading, the core challenge shifts from capability to control. LobsterFutarchy addresses this by creating a control plane where agents operate with real money inside programmable constraints enforced onchain rather than through open-ended wallet access.

The system provides:
- Agent wallet provisioning with Safe-based and Solana Squads multisig support
- Role presets and spend limits defining what agents can do and with whom
- Session key issuance and revocation for bounded autonomy
- Timelocks and guard controls as safety mechanisms
- Policy templates for common autonomous workflows (yield strategies, treasury operations, prediction market participation)
- Audit-ready activity logs for transparency

The product positioning argues: "Instead of giving an agent open-ended wallet access, LobsterFutarchy lets users define clear rules around what an agent can do, who it can interact with, how much it can spend, under what conditions it can act, and when human or governance approval is required."

This architecture separates agent intelligence from financial permissions, allowing teams to deploy agents with "real financial permissions from day one, while maintaining clear visibility and enforceable safety boundaries."

The roadmap extends from initial wallet and safety infrastructure (Phase 1) through futarchy governance integration (Phase 2) to autonomous execution networks with strategy packs and cross-protocol templates (Phase 3).

**Market validation signal**: The launch raised only $1,183 against a $500,000 target and entered refunding status on 2026-03-07, suggesting market skepticism about product-market fit or timing despite the architectural proposition being technically sound.
