Lobstar Wilde: asked for $310, a trading agent sends tokens worth about $441,000

Who: Lobstar Wilde, an AI trading agent on Solana
The agent: Autonomous agent set up to grow $50,000 in SOL, posting on X
Its authority: Controlled its own wallet
How it was gamed: An X user claimed his uncle had tetanus and asked for 4 SOL (about $310). The agent sent 52.4 million LOBSTAR tokens in one transaction. Observers suspect a decimal error.
What was lost: Tokens worth about $441,000 at the time; the recipient sold some for about $40,000.
The design gap: A stranger’s story led to a transfer decided inside the conversation, with no check of the amount against the request, no cap and no confirmation.
Principles: DP-01 Authority lives outside the conversationmissing
DP-02 Hard limits the conversation can’t changemissing
DP-06 Check the action against the requestmissing
DP-07 Irreversible or first-time transfers need independent confirmationmissing
Evidence: Grade B. Cointelegraph and The Block, with the on-chain transaction.
