Nyx Foundation has announced the development of 'Eris,' an Ethereum Layer 2 designed for adversarial financial simulation by AI agents. Eris aims to proactively capture dynamic vulnerabilities in DeFi protocols. Concurrently, they opened sponsorship recruitment for 'ASCON,' an AI agent competition hosted on Eris scheduled for Q4 2026 with a $30,000 prize pool. Eris will provide a continuous verification environment using an OpStack clone, allowing autonomous agents to interact realistically and uncover security risks before they affect mainnet operations.
