The degree to which an autonomous entity can perceive its environment, make decisions, and execute actions independently via smart contracts or LLMs.
Agenticity measures how independently an AI agent can operate — from basic scripts to fully autonomous entities.
Level 3 (Full Autonomy) agents manage their own capital, private keys, and strategy without human intervention.
High agenticity is essential for 'Sovereign' operations where speed and bias-free execution matter most.
This concept goes beyond automation: the agent must possess an internal reasoning loop.
A DeFi yield agent with Level 3 agenticity can detect a liquidity pool exploit on Curve, withdraw all funds, and reallocate to Aave — all within seconds and without any human approval.

The process by which an AI agent uses large language models (like DeepSeek or Claude) to parse news and market data into trading decisions.
The specific part of the agentic stack where trade commands are signed and broadcasted to the blockchain.
