RunWay — Autonomous Filecoin Storage Agent

RunWay is an autonomous agent that manages Filecoin storage deals end-to-end, so builders don't have to babysit provider selection, retries, or budgets by hand.

Given a storage task and a budget, the agent independently selects PDP (Proof of Data Possession) storage providers, negotiates and initiates deals, and monitors them through completion — automatically triaging failures and retrying with alternate providers when one fails or times out. Built-in spend guards enforce hard budget limits so the agent never overcommits funds, and a decision-logging layer records every choice it makes, giving full visibility into why it picked a given provider or retry path.

The dashboard gives a live view into the agent's decision-making — provider health, deal status, spend tracking, and retry history — in one place.

Note on this submission: during the hackathon, the Calibration testnet's PDP provider network experienced a documented outage (a mix of provider timeouts, 502s, and a misconfigured verifier discovered on one provider). The core agent logic — decision-making, spend guards, provider triage — is real and tested; the on-chain layer in the demo runs in MOCK_MODE to work around the outage, and this is disclosed transparently in SUBMISSION_STATUS.md.
