Cybersecurity firm SlowMist has unveiled a five-layer security framework for AI and Web3 agents, which it touts as a way to mitigate the growing risks that come with autonomous systems processing onchain transactions and digital assets.
In a blog post on Wednesday, the company said the framework focuses on AI user agents and integrates management control through the AI Security Security Solution, or ADSS, with execution layer tools including OpenClaw, MistEye Skill, MistTrack Skill and MistAgent. The company said the system was designed to create a closed process of pre-execution checks, constraints during execution and post-execution review.
SlowMist’s so-called “digital fortress” aims to defend against risks including rapid injection, supply chain poisoning attacks, data leaks and asset losses due to unauthorized operations or AI agent behavior. It also seeks to reduce risks without reducing the effectiveness of AI.

According to SlowMist, this push comes as more crypto companies come up with independent tools for trading and testing “new attack surfaces” such as supply chain poisoning, which has become a new entry point for hackers to plant backdoors on devices.
The framework’s management layer, ADSS, aims to establish auditable security standards for organizations to prevent these risks. It includes AI agent permission limits, real-time external interaction threat testing, and powerful onchain risk detection.
SlowMist said the real value of ADDS is in improving “fragmented security operations” into systematic operations that are “executable, auditable, and sustainable.”

Independent crypto trading bots on the rise
Crypto companies launch independent crypto trading bots. On January 21, crypto intelligence platform Nansen launched independent crypto trading tools, allowing users to trade through AI agents and natural language queries, with chain execution on the Base and Solana blockchains.
Other companies that have launched AI codeless trading agents include Coinbase, Bitget, Walbi and Gate.io. These solutions seek to lower barriers to entry for retail investors through automated strategies and conversational interfaces.
