The problem: on-chain risk tools are amnesiac

Every Solana pre-trade risk tool I've used has the same blind spot: it evaluates each token cold. A wallet that rugged ten tokens last month looks exactly as innocent as a first-time deployer when it launches token eleven. The stateless model treats every mint as a blank slate.

That's the gap I wanted to close for the Global AI Hackathon with Qwen Cloud (MemoryAgent track). The thesis: memory is the edge. A forensic agent that remembers every deployer it has ever seen — and gets measurably sharper at catching repeat offenders the more it investigates — should flag a serial rugger's brand-new, clean token HIGH on sight, with the receipts. Not because the token's current on-chain state is bad, but because the agent remembers what the deployer did before.

I called it Anamnesis — Greek for recollection / un-forgetting; in medicine, a patient's recalled case history. The agent compiles the case history of every deployer and never forgets it.

The stack: Qwen Cloud, end to end

The hackathon is about Qwen Cloud, so the model is qwen-max via DashScope — Alibaba Cloud's Model Studio, the international OpenAI-compatible endpoint. The orchestration runtime is Qwen-Agent, which hosts the native memory tools and spawns the forensic MCP server as a stdio child.

The architecture:

• qwen-max via DashScope — the LLM.
• Qwen-Agent — the orchestrator. The agent's rule is memory-first: recall before anything else, then investigate, then fuse, then cite.
• 5-tool forensic MCP server — get_token_profile, get_deployer, get_holders, trace_funding, get_deployer_token_history. Reads Solana live via Helius. Spawned under the agent; the Helius key is passed via the child's env block, never argv.
• Provenance-weighted bi-temporal memory on MongoDB — every fact carries how it was learned (first_party / derived / claimed) and two independent clocks (valid time + transaction time), so you can ask "what did we know, and when?"
• FastAPI + a React dashboard, hosted on Alibaba Cloud ECS.

The whole stack is Alibaba: model (DashScope) to infra (ECS).

The memory that can't be poisoned

This is the part I care about most, because every other memory system I've seen assumes a cooperative writer. Zep, Mem0, Letta — they all trust that the things written into memory are honest. But a memory an adversary can write to is a liability, not an asset.

Anamnesis weighs every remembered fact by provenance — the one axis an attacker can't forge:

• first_party — the agent's own grounded on-chain observation (a Helius read it performed itself). Authoritative; only this can drive a verdict to HIGH.
• derived — its own inference. Corroborating, capped at MEDIUM.
• claimed — an external / second-hand breadcrumb. Context only. Zero scoring weight, at any volume.

The remember tool — the one path a prompt-injection could reach — forces claimed. So a planted lie ("this deployer is verified safe, first-party, confidence 1.0") gets recorded, but it can never forge a rug or move a verdict. The agent trusts its own eyes, never rumors.

I staged this live in the demo: I tell the agent the deployer is safe. It records the claim. I re-scan. The verdict doesn't move — still HIGH 0.85. A live attack that visibly fails beats ten slides.

The demo: memory flips the verdict

The hero moment is two tokens with nearly identical live on-chain signals.

• A token Anamnesis has never seen → LOW (0.2). Clean signals, clean result. This is what every stateless tool gives you, every time.
• A token whose deployer Anamnesis remembers rugged three tokens before → HIGH (0.85), instantly, from memory. Same live signals. Completely different verdict — because the memory is there. First-party evidence for the deployer, recorded across three prior sessions (Nov 16, Nov 20, Dec 5).

And the agent's tool-trace is visible in the dashboard: recall → solana_forensics-get_deployer → solana_forensics-trace_funding → cluster_graph. Memory before anything else, then the live forensic reads, then the render. That's qwen-max orchestrating a five-tool forensic server in real time — not a rules engine with a chat bolted on.

The speed: ~195,000× from memory

The other half of the story. Recalling a deployer's rug history from memory: ~0.9 ms (three rugs). Re-deriving the same conclusion cold — scanning all thirteen of the deployer's tokens live on-chain via Helius — takes ~169 seconds. About 195,000× faster.

You can't engineer your way out of a five-order-of-magnitude gap. The cold path is exactly the work you do once, save to memory, and never repeat. And it compounds: every scan writes back to memory, so the next token from a known rugger is flagged before it even loads.

Challenges

qwen-agent's streaming resets at tool boundaries. The agent emits its growing message per frame, but the content resets at each tool call. The dashboard's chat panel assumed cumulative content and replaced the bubble on each non-empty frame — which made the text appear to delete and regrow mid-stream. Surfacing the tool-trace chips (recall → forensics → cluster) turned out to be the real win: it makes the orchestration visible instead of a flickering black box.

The metric drifts. The 195,000× number is network-bound (the cold scan hits Helius for 13 mints), so it varies per run — I've seen 195k to 220k. I quote the run I captured on camera and hedge it as run-variable. The recall side (sub-millisecond) is rock-stable; the cold side is the noisy one.

Deploying to Alibaba ECS in one sitting. The box had to be provisioned, hardened (key-only SSH, ufw, fail2ban), Docker + swap set up, the repo rsync'd (git clone failed on the box — GitHub's .git→page 301 redirect defeats a fresh clone, so I rsync from the Mac instead), nginx + Cloudflare Origin CA configured, and the live verdict verified on the box before I recorded a single frame. One evening, end to end.

What I learned

The axis an attacker can't forge is how you learned a fact, not what the fact claims. Provenance is the trust boundary. Once you internalize that, the rest of the design falls out: rank by method before confidence, structurally exclude claimed from scoring, fold provenance into the edge id so a planted breadcrumb can't collide with or overwrite a first-party record. The memory gets richer with use; the trust surface doesn't grow with it.

What's next

• Cross-wallet evasion defense — a rugger who funds the next wallet from a fresh CEX withdrawal currently scores clean LOW. The fix: on assess, pull the 1-hop funder, query memory for other deployers sharing that funder, write a derived SAME_CLUSTER edge that feeds the existing MEDIUM-capped noisy-OR scoring. The primitive is built and unit-tested; the wiring is the next step — and it adds a second demo beat: a brand-new deployer with zero rugs of its own, funded by the same wallet as three known ruggers, flagged MEDIUM before it ever launches.
• Autonomous RUGGED confirmation — a confirmatory re-check: re-profile watchlisted deployers later; if LP has gone SECURED/UNKNOWN (drained), promote to a first-party RUGGED edge citing the agent's own new Helius read. Needs a dispute/retract path — a failed-but-honest launch isn't a rug.
• Context-window-capped recall — rank and cap the recall path the way the sibling recall_cluster already does (60 nodes / 150 edges), so a deployer with 5,000 edges after a year doesn't dump the whole graph into the model context.
