NEAR's docs describe Shade Agents as verifiable, trust-minimized agents that run in TEEs. They hold assets and sign transactions on most chains through on-chain signing, and a reference agent contract enforces guardrails. The framework is the Shade Agent API (npm @neardefi/shade-agent-js v2.2.0, 2026-06-04), the Shade Agent CLI (v2.4.0) and a shade-attestation package (v0.2.0). NEAR's docs say the framework 'has not yet undergone a formal audit'. The repo was pushed 2026-09-21 but has few stars (2).

Self-reported rows are the project’s own words, dated when we recorded them — not a check. Only reproduced and reviewed rows carry a mark. None of these rows is a safety or quality rating.

This is the share of our daily checks that succeeded — not an availability guarantee. A check can fail because the host was down, because our runner timed out, or because the network in between dropped it, and only the first of those is a fact about this project. Failures are split by what we can attribute; anything we cannot attribute is counted, not hidden.

A gap is a day we have no attributable observation — never a zero. Thirty points is the whole shape the free layer carries; the daily rows behind it stay in the snapshot series.
