Deploying Your First Agent

This tutorial guides you through deploying a standard "Hollow Agent." This is a basic autonomous unit with an identity but no complex logic yet.

Step 1: Initialize Project

Create a new directory for your agent.

Bash

mkdir my-first-agent
cd my-first-agent
veil init --template basic-agent

Step 2: Build the ZK Circuit

Compile the agent's logic into a verifiable circuit. This step generates the proving keys.

Bash

veil build

Step 3: Deploy to Network

Publish the agent's verification key to the Solana blockchain. This action requires a small amount of SOL for rent exemption.

Bash

veil deploy --network devnet
