🧠 100 Automation Startups To Build Today

From Manual Signing to Autonomous Actions

In crypto, everything used to stop at the signature.

Every rebalance, yield claim, and trade required a human in the loop — someone to wake up, click “Confirm,” and hope they didn’t miss a block.

That era is over.

With delegated signing and scoped permissions, developers can now control a swarm of their users’ wallets non-custodially, running programs that act within defined onchain guardrails.

For users and depositors, an agent can perform any crypto action on their behalf — staking, swapping, rebalancing, or bridging — safely and transparently.

Vincent makes this leap simple. Secured by Lit Protocol, it’s the platform for building, running, and sharing automations that connect wallets, smart accounts, and APIs through programmable delegation across blockchains.

The following are 100 Agent Ideas — creative blueprints for what becomes possible when “click to sign” turns into “run.” Each idea can be built, forked, or remixed using the Vincent SDK, with user authentication and delegation handled out of the box.

Autonomy for Everyone

The shift from scripts to agents is the shift from intent to execution. Every example above encodes something that once required a wallet pop-up — a human, a moment, a click — and turns it into a policy-bound, automated action.

With Vincent, delegation replaces dependence. Developers define the boundaries and run applications. Users stay in control. The network enforces trust through cryptography.

The frontier isn’t new interfaces — it’s automating everything.

Start building your crypto projects that acts, not just reacts.
