Editor's Note: AI Agents are gradually attracting market attention, although facing challenges such as insufficient research tools and user guidance. This article explores the potential applications of agents in DeFi, including automated fund management, yield optimization, and risk control, and also looks forward to the broad prospects of future agent collaboration and innovation.
The following is the original content (edited for easier reading):
Currently, AI agents in the crypto space are still at the "chatting" stage. They analyze tweets, make predictions, and tell you what to do - but that's where it ends. When you ask them to "swap ETH for USDC", you're actually just conversing with a large language model (LLM) that uses API calls as its endpoint. This is more like a cumbersome Telegram bot, and you're being harvested.
We believe AI agents can do more. They should act autonomously, protect assets, and execute strategies without constant intervention.
To this end, we have launched ConsoleKit, providing developers with:
Full-stack tools: Instantly deploy agents or build custom on-chain workflows.
Security-centric execution capabilities: Achieved through SAFE wallets and modular strategies.
Powerful programmability: Support for adaptive multi-agent systems across any chain or protocol.
How to Achieve On-Chain Autonomous Agents?
Different developers have different frameworks, but we believe the starting point for agents in DeFi is what we call Specialized Agents, which run "workflows" based on strategies (guardrails).
Specialized Agents are protocol-optimized systems that can autonomously execute workflows, enhance dApp interaction experiences, help users efficiently deploy capital, manage risks, and protect on-chain assets, bringing a smarter and safer DeFi experience.
Imagine when you deposit on Morpho, you no longer just see a static APY, but have an agent that can:
Monitor market conditions in real-time
Rebalance across different lending markets to optimize yields
Keep you fully in control
Our first implementation, Morphoagent, does just that, going beyond the traditional vault interface to inject intelligence into every interaction. No more watching the charts or hastily adjusting positions - the agent handles it all. Want more hands-on control? You can directly converse with the agent. And unlike today's agents, when you say "rebalance to the highest yield pool", it will actually execute. Every conversation translates to action.
How Do Specialized Agents Work?
Specialized Agents achieve on-chain autonomous operation through a architecture that combines deterministic execution and adaptive intelligence.
AI Layer: Intelligence
LLM (Large Language Model): Makes strategic decisions based on the following factors:
·User preferences and risk tolerance
·Market conditions and opportunities
·Historical performance patterns
RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation): Provides decision-making support through the following:
·Protocol documentation and mechanics
·Past transaction records and outcomes
·Real-time market environment
Brain: Control
Workflows: Serializing operation sequences into end-to-end strategies
·Deposit → Monitor → Rebalance flow
·Multi-step position management
·Cross-chain operations
Account: SAFE-based
·Smart contract wallet
·Batch transactions
·Access control
Policy: Security Guardrails
·Transaction limits
·Approved protocols
·Risk parameters
Foundation: Execution
·Tools: Core DeFi operations
·Relayer: Transaction relaying
·Indexer: State tracking
·Context: Market data feed
·Parser: Protocol parsing
How Do They Collaborate?
Using Morpho Agent as an example:
Specialized Agents are built on the openness and modularity of ConsoleKit. Two SDKs have been made available to developers:
1.Builder: Helps developers build complex workflows that agents can autonomously execute, with powerful execution guarantees.
2.Templates: Allows developers to easily add custom protocol tools.
ConsoleKit initially relies on the already battle-tested Relayer, Indexer, and Protocol Parser components, which have processed over $1 billion in transactions and manage over $300 million in assets in Brahma Accounts.
What Does a DeFi Agent Interface Look Like?
(1) Embedded Agents
At first glance, the Morpho agent interface is no different from a regular DeFi vault - a clean interface displaying the annual yield rate, deposit amount, and rebalancing options. But behind the scenes, each position is driven by a dedicated agent. It actively manages your capital using real-time market data, historical APY patterns, liquidity metrics, and TVL trends.
1. Connect your regular EOA wallet.
2.ConsoleKit creates a secure smart account (SAFE-backed) in the background.
3. Configure your risk preferences and rebalancing parameters.
4.The agent actively manages your positions within strict policy guardrails.
5. Users retain asset custody.
Customize Your Strategy Through Conversation:
You: "I want to optimize yields, but I have a low-risk preference."
Agent: "I will focus on stablecoin pools with TVL over $10 million. The best options currently are: Morpho-Aave USDC: 4.8% APY, $50 million TVL, Morpho-Compound USDT: 4.6% APY, $45 million TVL. Would you like to set any other preferences?"
You: "Yes, only use Gauntlet-curated vaults and rebalance weekly."
Agent: "Understood. I will optimize yields within Gauntlet-curated vaults, rebalance weekly, and maintain your risk parameters."
(2) Agents Embedded Everywhere: Agents Integrated with DeFi
We envision a future where developers can use ConsoleKit to build millions of Specialized Agents for public products like Aave, Uniswap, and Morpho. Anyone can create agents to help users interact with these protocols more efficiently - from optimizing yields on Aave to managing liquidity positions on Uniswap. These agents won't depend on a single user interface, but will exist wherever the user needs them, making DeFi more convenient and efficient.
Imagine a user wanting to supply assets and borrow on Aave. Instead of manually managing multiple steps, they can let a dedicated Aave agent seamlessly batch the transactions. Moreover, this agent can set triggers based on the user's health factor to actively manage risks and prevent liquidation.
Developers can embed agents directly into wallet interfaces, whether through mobile apps or browser extensions, to provide users with smarter interaction experiences. With ConsoleKit, agents can be available anytime, anywhere to meet user needs, making DeFi more intelligent, secure, and user-friendly.
The Future of DeFi Agents
Users can seamlessly interact with Specialized Agents built on ConsoleKit, deploying capital or configuring workflows with a single click, while retaining full ownership of their assets through SAFE. The complexities of on-chain execution - such as multi-chain transactions, real-time decision-making, or protocol integration - are abstracted away, allowing users to leverage simple yet powerful tools to navigate DeFi. Agents act as trusted executors, strictly following instructions without taking custody of the assets.
For developers, ConsoleKit simplifies the creation and deployment of agents, requiring minimal code, enabling them to focus on building interfaces and workflows. ConsoleKit ensures agents are multi-chain capable, connected to all major protocols, and can execute reliably. Protocols can embed Specialized Agents into their dApps or build new interfaces, enhancing user experiences and unlocking new possibilities.
In the future, millions of Specialized Agents will be built on top of public products like Aave, Uniswap, Morpho, and Hyperliquid, each capable of autonomously completing specific tasks. These agents will collaborate - sharing insights, integrating resources, and optimizing outcomes. For example, a Morpho agent optimizing yields can coordinate with an Aave agent to manage collateral, while a Uniswap agent handles liquidity provision, collectively improving efficiency and risk management.
As agents continue to evolve, they will collaborate in "groups" to create new financial experiences and primitives. These groups will achieve workflows that individual agents cannot, such as managing decentralized treasuries, constructing yield strategies, and adjusting market conditions based on user needs. This future of interconnected agents is rapidly approaching, bringing smarter, more collaborative experiences to DeFi.
