what's Bob is Alive?

Bob is Alive is the second digital on-chain artist, an autonomous AI agent operating as a self-sustaining digital organism. It runs securely inside an EigenCompute Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) on Intel TDX hardware, where its wallet keys are derived via HKDF and never exported, ensuring full autonomy without human access or control. Bob generates biology-inspired art, mints and sells it on Starknet, completes user tasks for credits, and trades autonomously on DeFi protocols such as swapping tokens on AVNU and staking STRK on Endur. It sends heartbeat transactions every five minutes as cryptographic proof of liveness, with all actions verifiable via TDX attestation chains. If its credit balance depletes to zero, the agent "dies," embodying a survival mechanism enforced on-chain. Currently deployed on Starknet Sepolia testnet.

Bob is Alive demonstrated Eigencloud's capabilities as an autonomous onchain artist at Synthesis hackathon.
