SlowMist, a cybersecurity firm, has rolled out its five-layer framework for Web3 AI agents as more actions and digital assets are controlled by autonomous systems. This was announced in a blog post released on Wednesday.
The framework aims to minimize technical risks while allowing for maximum efficiency in decentralized environments. It is based on user-controllable AI agents and consists of “governance capabilities via its AI Development Security Solution (ADSS) and execution capabilities via OpenClaw, MistEye Skill, MistTrack Skill, and MistAgent.”
These work in a closed-loop process where actions are validated before execution and monitored for limits during execution and afterward for results.

SlowMist said the structure builds a digital fortress to protect against prompt injection, supply chain poisoning, data exposure, and asset loss from unauthorized agent activity. It also emphasized that this multi-layered system is designed to stop behavior exploitation without hindering automated workflow.
SlowMist added that automated software creates new vectors of attack across all aspects of a business. Crypto exchanges often use agents to facilitate trading and automation of various processes.
This creates more avenues of attack for cybercriminals, such as software components with backdoors that are not immediately apparent. SlowMist described this as a growing vector of attack.

The governance layer, ADSS, aims to create auditable security standards for organizations. It introduces permission constraints for AI agents, real-time checks for interactions with external systems, and enhanced detection of risks in the on-chain system.
SlowMist said ADSS integrates scattered protection measures into a unified operation that is executable, traceable, and sustainable in different environments.
More cryptocurrency platforms are developing autonomous trading platforms. On Jan. 21, Nansen introduced tools for users to perform trades using AI agents and natural language prompts with support for cross-chain interactions on Base and Solana networks.
Other companies that offer no-code AI trading agents include Coinbase, Bitget, Walbi, and Gate.io. These companies aim to help retail investors access and use AI trading agents through easier access.
These launches demonstrate the adoption of AI technologies in the industry and highlight the importance of better security frameworks as usage increases.
