RFB — Darwinian is RFB 01
Perpetual Futures Trading Agent: 24/7 monitoring, split-second leverage decisions, autonomous liquidation protection across Hyperliquid, dYdX, GMX, Vertex.
Where most RFB-01 entries will be one LLM in a loop, Darwinian is a swarm with a Darwinian selector. The agent isthe swarm. That’s the innovation axis.
Why this is hard to copy
- Per-agent Circle Wallet custody — built directly into the spawn loop, not bolted on at submission time.
- Lineage onchain via a dedicated registry contract — every birth/death is auditable from a block explorer.
- Mutation prompt that conditions on dead-sibling reports, not just parent DNA — what cheap copies miss.
- USYC + Paymaster + Gateway are all load-bearing, not decorative. Removing any of them breaks the architecture.
