Canonical live proof
900-second Session LP on Base Sepolia

ShadeHook sessions can be configured within the supported duration bounds. The published V2 canonical lifecycle evidence demonstrates one exact 900-second session on Base Sepolia.

Duration is chosen before deployment. Expiry is fixed at initialization time plus that duration and cannot be extended through the UI. Swaps are available within the mandate and refused when it ends; liquidity withdrawal remains a separate action.

WHAT WAS PROVEN

ShadeHook enforced a time-bounded liquidity session onchain. Liquidity was available during the mandate, an active swap executed successfully while the session was live, the same execution path was refused after the exact expiry, and the LP position was fully withdrawn afterward.

WHY IT MATTERS

Autonomous liquidity should not have to remain available indefinitely. ShadeHook gives agents a time-bounded execution window with an enforceable end and a verifiable lifecycle receipt.

Liquidity when an agent needs it. Unavailable when the mandate ends.

The live proof used a fixed 900-second session. ShadeHook’s product direction supports configurable bounded mandates, but this specific V2 evidence proves the exact 900-second lifecycle executed on Base Sepolia.

01 · The primitive

A market should be able to end.

Ordinary persistent AMMs remain swappable while usable liquidity exists. ShadeHook binds a canonical market to an onchain terminal timestamp.

PERSISTENT AMM

Swaps continue while liquidity remains.

Swaps remain available while usable liquidity exists.

SHADEHOOK MARKET

Swaps reject after the terminal timestamp.

After expiry, swaps reject at the hook level. LP withdrawal remains available afterward; it is not automatic.

02 · Thesis

Tokenization makes assets programmable. ShadeHook makes their markets programmable.

Current proof V2 time-bounded Session LP · 900 seconds · USDC / WETH · Base Sepolia

Future direction Configurable time-bounded mandates for autonomous agents and programmable assets

Proven scope The V2 run demonstrated the exact 900-second lifecycle, including expiry refusal and full liquidity withdrawal.

03 · Lifecycle

A finite market, in one continuous rail.

A canonical market runs on a defined lifetime. At expiry, new swaps reject at the hook level; LP withdrawal and accounting reconciliation remain available.

  1. 01

    OPEN

    The canonical market initializes and its lifecycle begins.

  2. 02

    TRADE

    Swaps are accepted while the market is active.

  3. 03

    EXPIRE

    At the terminal timestamp, future swaps reject at the hook level.

  4. 04

    SETTLE

    Trading remains closed while LP withdrawal and accounting remain available.

V2 live proof: fixed 900-second time-bounded Session LP on Base Sepolia.

04 · Earlier AgentKit validation

The agent respected the market boundary.

Separate earlier proof: same-market lifecycle verified on Base Sepolia. This is not the V2 Session LP run above.

SAME MARKET

EXECUTE EXPIRE REFUSE WITHDRAWNatural expiry, same-PoolId refusal and LP withdrawal reconciled.

ACTIVE PHASE

INSPECT PREPARE HUMAN APPROVAL EXECUTE RECONCILEA bounded swap proceeded only after approval.

On Base Sepolia, the same ShadeHook market executed a bounded AgentKit swap after explicit human approval, naturally expired, was refused by AgentKit on that same PoolId, and then allowed the LP to withdraw liquidity after expiry.

05 · Earlier proof ledger

A completed same-PoolId lifecycle.

This ledger belongs to an earlier, separate ShadeHook proof and is not the V2 time-bounded Session LP lifecycle shown above.
