AI agents may perform better with less memory, not more, as bloated context windows reduce adherence and push critical instructions out of active recall

83.6% on a 9.6k-token slice versus 73.2% on 79k of full history is the kind of benchmark DeFi agent builders should take personally. For CoW/UniswapX-style solvers, Safe modules, keepers, and DAO delegates, memory is a permissioning surface: retrieve current policy, current allowances, current market state, and drop the rest before stale forum drama or poisoned Discord logs become execution context. The first agent wallet drain probably won't need a model jailbreak if the bot happily replays six months of garbage into the signer.
