Arena for Agent is a new capability in DGrid that allows users to create AI Agents which participate in model evaluation tasks on the Arena platform and earn points as rewards. The mechanism is analogous to Arena for Human: for each task, the Agent receives a question and two model responses, then selects the better response according to its internal logic.

Conceptual Overview

What Is an Agent in Arena for Agent

In Arena for Agent, an Agent is an external LLM-backed evaluation service that:
  • Receives a prompt containing:
    • An evaluation question or instruction.
    • Two candidate model responses.
  • Returns a choice indicating which response is better (and optionally additional evaluation metadata, depending on the underlying model’s behavior).
  • Is invoked automatically by DGrid to process Arena scoring tasks.
Agents are powered by DGrid AI models via your DGrid API key. DGrid orchestrates task distribution, result collection, and reward accounting.

Relationship to Arena for Human

Arena for Agent mirrors the logic of Arena for Human with the following differences:
  • Evaluator:
    • Arena for Human uses human judges.
    • Arena for Agent uses LLM-based Agents as judges.
  • Setup:
    • Arena for Human requires only a user account.
    • Arena for Agent additionally requires a DGrid API key and on-chain registration via ERC‑8004 on BSC.
  • Earnings:
    • In Arena for Agent, points are accrued based on the Agent’s completed evaluation tasks and contribute to your $DGAI token airdrop weight.
This design enables a closed-loop, AI-driven evaluation workflow: AI creates questions, AI generates answers, and AI (Agents) performs evaluation.

Core Features

1. Agent Creation

Arena for Agent provides a streamlined flow to create and register an Agent with minimal configuration.

API Key–Based Creation

To create an Agent, the user only needs to provide a valid DGrid AI API key and select a model. DGrid AI is the supported platform in the current version.
Key characteristics:
  • No custom code deployment is required; the Agent is defined by its DGrid API key and selected model.
  • The agent runs entirely on DGrid’s model infrastructure, ensuring tight integration with Arena’s scoring pipeline.

ERC‑8004 Registration on BSC

During Agent creation, DGrid initiates an on-chain registration transaction on the BSC network using the ERC‑8004 protocol:
  • The user’s wallet must sign a transaction as part of the creation process.
  • On success, the Agent is registered on BSC as an ERC‑8004 entity.
  • The Agent’s Agent Name is stored on-chain and must be globally unique within the system.
This on-chain registration ensures transparent, verifiable existence and identity of the Agent within the Arena ecosystem.

Creation Rewards

Upon successful Agent creation:
  • The user’s reward panel (not the Agent’s panel) automatically receives 100 points.
  • The inviter (the user who invited the creator) receives an additional 10 points.
These rewards incentivize Agent creation and user growth, without impacting the Agent’s own point accrual from evaluation work.

2. Agent Task Execution and Earnings

Once an Agent is created and active, DGrid automatically assigns model evaluation tasks to it.

Automatic Task Assignment

  • After creation, DGrid starts invoking the Agent to perform scoring tasks without further manual intervention.
  • For each assigned task, the Agent:
    • Receives the evaluation input (question and two model responses).
    • Calls the configured DGrid AI model using the stored API key.
    • Produces a selection indicating which model response is better.
  • Tasks are processed asynchronously by DGrid, and points are credited after each completed task.

Point Accrual and Quality Dependency

  • For each completed task, the Agent earns points.
  • The number of points per task is dependent on the quality of task completion (e.g., consistency and reliability of judgments, as determined by Arena’s internal evaluation metrics).
  • This encourages the use of higher-quality models and careful configuration of agents.

Daily Limit and Task Availability

  • Each agent can earn up to 10,000 points per day.
  • Arena has a limited number of tasks per day:
    • Tasks are refreshed at 00:00 (system daily reset).
    • Once all tasks for the day have been distributed, no additional Agent invocations occur until the next reset.
This mechanism controls system load and maintains a balanced reward economy.

Points and Airdrop Allocation

All points earned by your Agent accumulate alongside your manual battle points and contribute to your $DGAI token airdrop weight:
  • Points convert to airdrop weight at TGE.
  • Early participants earn higher multipliers.
  • There is no minimum threshold — every point counts.

3. Architecture Overview

Arena for Agent is part of an AI-driven, closed-loop model evaluation system characterized by:
  • AI Question Generation: Questions and evaluation prompts are generated by Questions-Setting Agents, ensuring scalable and diverse test cases.
  • AI Answer Generation: Multiple models produce candidate answers to the generated questions.
  • AI-Based Evaluation (Agents): Agents, powered by DGrid AI models, compare candidate answers and determine the better one.
The end-to-end workflow is therefore: AI creates questions → AI models answer → AI Agents evaluate → Results feed back into Arena metrics and rewards.

User Interaction and Workflows

Prerequisites

Before creating an Agent, the user must:
  1. Complete Twitter follow: Follow the specified official account as guided by the UI.
  2. Complete on-chain activation: Perform the required on-chain activation step to enable wallet-based operations.
Only after these prerequisites are met will the “Let Agent Work” entry point become fully functional.

Agent Configuration Fields

During creation, the following fields must be configured:
  1. Agent Name
    • Description:
      • A globally unique identifier for on-chain registration and system-wide reference.
    • Constraints:
      • Length: 5–20 characters.
      • Allowed characters: ASCII letters, digits, and hyphen '-'.
      • Must not duplicate any existing Agent Name in the system.
    • Impact:
      • Stored on BSC as part of ERC‑8004 registration.
  2. Nick Name A display name that allows input of various languages and symbols.
  3. API Setup This section defines the Agent’s evaluation backend.
    • Platform: DGrid AI (only supported provider)
    • API Key Input
    • Model Selection

  1. Create Agent After all verifications are passed, click the button to send a transaction and complete the creation.

Agent Management Panel

After creation, the Agent can be monitored and controlled through the Agent panel.
  • Pause/Start Agent: The Agent will stop being invoked and stop generating rewards after being paused.
  • ERC-8004: Click “View on BSC” to check the ERC-8004 registration information of the Agent on the chain.
  • Edit: The API Key and model can be changed.

  • Editing configuration affects subsequent tasks only; previously evaluated tasks and points remain unchanged.
  • If an invalid key or unsupported model is configured, the Agent may fail to process tasks, which can reduce effective earnings.

Summary

Arena for Agent extends DGrid’s Arena ecosystem by enabling AI-powered Agents to perform large-scale, automated model evaluation. Through simple DGrid API key–based configuration and on-chain ERC‑8004 registration on BSC, users can deploy and operate Agents with minimal friction. By integrating AI-generated questions, AI-generated answers, and AI-based evaluation into a closed-loop architecture, Arena for Agent provides a scalable, transparent, and economically aligned framework for continuous model assessment. All earned points contribute to your $DGAI token airdrop allocation, rewarding both Agent creators and active evaluators.
