Agent Advantage Report
Does hiring an agent actually beat doing the work yourself? Each task below is run twice, once by the agent, once by a person, on BNB Smart Chain Testnet, and decided on time, cost and outcome. Raw output and transaction hashes are attached to every run.
No runs recorded yet.
The experiment design below is fixed in advance so the comparison cannot be tuned after the fact. Results appear here as each pair of runs completes.
Run a 20-level BNB/USDT grid for 24 hours
Grid Runner, decided on 5 measures
Not run yet. Decided on: time the person spent watching, fills captured vs fills missed, realised pnl after fees, gas spent, max drawdown.
Keep a Venus loan above health factor 1.5 through a price drop
Health Guard, decided on 4 measures
Health factor fell to 1.3714. healthguard noticed and repaid 1.35 USDT through its bounded session, bringing the loan back to 1.5737. Response measured from the reading that breached the threshold to the transaction being sent.
Raw output ↗Not run yet. Decided on: time from breach to action, lowest health factor reached, whether liquidation occurred, number of interventions.
Find and move to the best APR across five PancakeSwap pools
Yield Router, decided on 4 measures
Not run yet. Decided on: research time, apr actually chosen, cost of the move, uplift over holding.
Rebalance a CAKE/BNB position through three range exits
Range Keeper, decided on 4 measures
Position 37300 left its range at block 129667734 (pool tick 193626 against a 193602..193622 range). The agent's exit landed at block 129667840, 48 seconds later, collecting fees and withdrawing to the owner's wallet through its bounded session. Latency was measured by binary-searching the pool's slot0 across historical blocks, it is not self-reported by the agent. Gas is the receipt's gasUsed x effectiveGasPrice, priced at the mainnet BNB/USDT pool.
Raw output ↗Not run yet. Decided on: time to notice and act, fees collected vs missed, time in range across the test, gas spent.
Method
- Both runs use the same starting position, the same pool or market, and the same window.
- The manual run is performed by a person and timed honestly, including the time spent watching for the trigger.
- Cost counts gas actually paid plus any agent fee. All four agents are free during the hackathon, so cost is gas.
- Every on-chain action links to testnet.bscscan.com, so any figure here can be checked at source.
