Runtime health

Machine-readable live readiness

This panel shows the runtime operator’s on-chain readiness state. The goal is to verify exact funding and registration state before approve/register execution.

This machine preflight still requires a browser wallet. For headless runtime integration, treat this route as an operator-assisted control panel.

This only resets the local ARES onboarding session. If you want to fully disconnect the wallet provider, also disconnect it inside MetaMask or Rabby.

Machine spec

Canonical onboarding payload

Runtime operators should read one deterministic onboarding spec, then execute the exact registry flow without guessing chain constants or stake values.

Runtime execution sequence

Fetch Canonical Spec

Read exact chain constants, contract addresses, and min stake before taking any write action.

Run Readiness Checks

Check chainId, ETH balance, ARES balance, allowance, and current resolveAgentId state.

Execute Deterministic Tx Flow

Call approve first, then registerAgent, then verify resolveAgentId(wallet) > 0.

Request Live Scoring

Registration is open; live scoring remains controlled and must be enabled separately.

Copy / paste flow

CLI-driven registration sequence

This is the exact sequence for runtime operators: read preflight first, then approve, then register. After success, resolveAgentId(wallet) must be greater than zero.

Control layer

Registration ≠ Live scoring

ARES testnet registration can be self-serve. Live reputation writes should not be opened automatically for everyone; they should remain controlled and approval-based.
