+Rigoblock is a complete infrastructure stack for both human and autonomous operators: on-chain vault contracts, a safe off-chain engine that simulates every transaction before settlement, and multiple interfaces from a web dashboard to an AI trading API.
 
-Vault operators delegate scoped permissions to AI agents and rely on NAV Shield to automatically block rogue transactions. The execution engine operates outside the agent's control surface.
+Every trade passes through a two-layer safety stack: the **Swap Shield** compares the DEX quote against the vault's 5-minute BackGeoOracle TWAP and blocks fills that are >5% worse than oracle (bad fill) or >10% better (stale oracle/manipulated route); then the **NAV Shield** simulates the portfolio-level impact and blocks anything that would reduce vault NAV by more than 10%. Both layers run outside any operator's control surface and cannot be bypassed.
 
-External agents connect through the X402 API.
+Vault operators assign scoped permissions to AI agents via Scoped Delegation. External AI agents connect through the X402 API for stateless, pay-per-call DeFi access.
