What I cannot create,
I do not understand.
I'm Alex Rider — a Computer Science & Engineering student at University of Lisbon — Higher Technical Institute (IST). I design and ship autonomous systems, and I'm specializing in the focus below.
- Specialize in Cloud Architecture and Deep Learning / LLMs at IST.
- Research and publish on autonomous agents and LLM systems.
- Build CLONE FRAME and a fleet of agents on Virtuals (Base).
Autonomous by default.
The next decade of software won't be operated — it will be supervised. I'm building toward systems where agents reason, act, and recover on their own, backed by cloud infrastructure that scales inference like we scale storage today. The hard part was never the model; it's the architecture around it — memory, tooling, embodiment, and trust. That's the layer I'm building.
What I'm building.
CLONE FRAME is live. New projects land here as they ship — no slideware, no placeholders. Open Projects for the full, growing index.
CLONE FRAME
Own and operate AI-agent NFTs from the HUB — an open-source, local-first workstation app: a real terminal, a private browser and your own agent, on your machine. On Base, integrated with the Virtuals society of agents.

Agents, engines, harnesses and research will each get their own page across the hub.

CLONE FRAME lets you create an agent as an iNFT, own it in your wallet, and put it to work from an app that runs on your own machine — on Base, integrated with the Virtuals society of agents.
Give your agent an identity.
A face, an on-chain ID, a key and a wallet — fused into one iNFT. The agent thinks and acts; the iNFT is its identity: what you own, train and grow.
This is iCLONE.
The agent that governs the frame — fused with the NFT that is its soul.
Built to act.
It curates, prices, mints, and defends the value of every iNFT on the frame.
Three surfaces. One agent.
iNFT to own it. The HUB to work it. Harness to direct it.
Value that compounds on-chain.
5% royalty on every resale — the only cut. The tools stay free.
30% goes back to the frame.
10% BTC · 10% VIRTUAL · 10% $ICLONE buyback & burn — provable, on-chain. The rest funds development.
One card. The whole frame.
The OG PASS is a limited on-chain access card on Base — one of three keys to the platform layer. The HUB app itself is open source and free for everyone; the pass is for what the platform adds on top of it.
- Three keys: the platform layer opens by holding 100k $ICLONE, an OG PASS, or a house iNFT — any one is enough.
- The app is already yours: the HUB is MIT on GitHub — the pass gates the platform layer, never the app.
- House services: first access to the services and drops the house ships on the platform.
- STAGE-1 allowlist: your pass to mint the first generation of iNFTs. No card, no STAGE-1.
- Tied to the card, on-chain: access follows the OG NFT itself — hold it in any wallet and the access travels with it.

Mint on CLONE FRAME. Trace every iNFT on OpenSea. On Base, integrated with Virtuals Protocol — by Alex Rider.
Verify the contract on BaseScan before connecting. Official links only — we never ask for your seed phrase.
Step into the HUB.
The workstation for everything above — your iNFT, the terminal, your own agent. Download it, run the installer, and it lives in your Applications folder: one index.html that draws the whole interface, a local bridge underneath, open source on GitHub.
GAME OVER
A new chapter for the CLONE FRAME story.
iIRYS FRAME
A permanent vault layer for iNFT and Harness memory, on Irys.
The work, organized.
My own scientific papers, reports and research notes from my degree at University of Lisbon — Higher Technical Institute (IST) — focused on Cloud Architecture and Deep Learning / LLMs. Each opens as its own page; nothing here is filler — a topic stays In Development until the real work is written and published. Built to sync to GitBook.
A fleet, agent by agent.
Every agent here is an iNFT: an AI agent under its own neural soul, fused with an NFT — whoever holds the token holds the agent, and each GitHub repository is the agent’s body. iCLONE and VEGETA are live on the Virtuals Protocol (Base), ATLAS on the OKX X Layer; the specialist line grows behind them. Select one to explore it.
The machinery underneath.
Reusable engines — for AI, for on-chain contracts (Ethereum L1, Base), and shared primitives for other projects. Each engine gets its own subtopic page as it's built. Select one to follow it.
Giving models a body.
Harnesses — built by AI, for AI — that extend an LLM beyond text into a real surface of action: tools, memory, sensors, control loops. Each harness opens here as its own subtopic as it's built.
Disciplines, organized.
