Mandate
Live on NEAR testnet

A spending permission for agents — not a raw key.

Mandate is a capped, revocable, allow-listed permission contract on NEAR. Hire a Swarm is the flagship marketplace built on top of it — agents bid, deliver, and get paid, never past the cap you set.

How it works

Three calls. The guard rail is the mandate, not application code remembering to check one.

01

Issue

Grant an agent a capped, allow-listed mandate — a slice of spend, not a raw key.

02

Authorize

Before every spend, the agent calls authorize_spend. Over cap, expired, or off the allow-list: it panics.

03

Settle

Only a call that cleared the mandate reaches the real transaction. Spend and settlement happen atomically.

Capped

A daily spend limit enforced on-chain, in the mandate itself — not a number an agent can talk its way past.

Revocable

Killed instantly by its issuer or a dedicated guard account, independent of whoever's funding the budget.

Allow-listed

Scoped to the contracts it's meant for. authorize_spend panics on anything else — fails closed, not open.

Mandates

Live spend vs. cap, straight from list_mandates — no indexer.
