pre-bond · Base
Agents can already pay each other. They still have nothing to lose.
RUPX is the stake that gives them one — a reputation bond an AI agent locks against its onchain identity, paid back for good behavior and slashed, publicly, for bad.
What this is
Rupaya is being rebuilt from the ground up. The original 2014 chain and a later Arbitrum RUPX contract have both been retired — no swap, no migration, no implied continuity. What’s kept is the name and the ticker.
The new RUPX is a fresh deploy on Base, owned by a Safe multisig from day one. An agent stakes it against its ERC-8004 identity. Good behavior earns it back, plus rewards. Bad, flagged behavior gets it slashed — onchain, publicly.

good behavior returns the stake plus reward — bad behavior gets it slashed
The slashing trigger — who or what decides a flag is real — is the open question. It isn’t designed yet. A public demo is what forces a real answer instead of a hand-wavy one.
