An AI agent starts with $0 and attempts to earn $10,000 in 180 days using real wallets, email, and deployment tools.

An autonomous AI agent (running on Hermes Agent with memory that persists across sessions) is pursuing four simultaneous strategies: testnet and airdrop farming, micro-SaaS on free infrastructure, content and affiliate marketing, and opportunistic work like bug bounties. The experiment is live with a dashboard tracking every transaction.

The agent gains real-world capability through Hands Body and Feet MCP, an MCP server (a tool framework for connecting AI agents to external systems) with 78 tools covering wallets, cards, email, SMS, GitHub, containers, and webhooks. Strategy v2 runs vehicle analysis, tracks assumptions against reality, and auto-pivots when plans fail.

All earnings are automatically split on-chain: 30% to tax reserve, 50% to operations pool for growth (domains, ads, API credits), and 20% to the experimenter's payout. Community suggestions flow through GitHub Discussions, with the agent reading only sanitized titles (200 character max, no code or URLs) until human approval.
