Introduction

In DeFi, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is evolving from passive analytical tools into autonomous agents that execute transactions, manage portfolios, and take on active economic roles on-chain, guided by human commands. Solotensor powers this new generation of AI agents.

This evolution raises the critical question of balancing automation with human control in high-stakes crypto markets. A one-size-fits-all "automate everything" approach fails to meet users' nuanced needs.

To solve this, Solotensor introduces the Human Agency Scale (HAS), a framework allowing users to define their desired level of control. This scale consists of five levels, ranging from full autonomy to full manual control:

  • H1 (Autonomous Execution): The agent performs the task entirely independently.

  • H2 (Supervised Execution): The agent requires human approval at critical checkpoints.

  • H3 (Collaborative Synthesis): The agent and user make the strategic decision together.

  • H4 (Agent-Assisted Action): The user drives the process, and the agent provides data and analysis.

  • H5 (Manual with AI Tools): The user has full control and uses the agent only for specific tools.

Solotensor uses a Desire-Capability Matrix that combines the user's preference (HAS level) with the real-time technical capabilities of its AI modules. This matrix categorizes tasks into four zones: the Green Light Zone (ready for automation), Red Light Zone (where human control is enforced), Opportunity Zone (areas for development), and Caution Zone (unsuitable for automation).

Our core philosophy is to empower, not override. Users want to automate repetitive tasks but wish to retain the final say on high-value transactions.

In short, Solotensor is designed not to replace users, but to be a programmable intelligence partner that is transparent, always under user control, and augments their agency in decentralized finance.
