The way to send money to the AI Agent and issue assets is really interesting! Originally, I wanted the AI Agent to realize self-management of assets, self-realization of intention transactions, and seamless cross-chain transactions through a verifiable blockchain architecture, but it is obviously still very far from this vision. However, the appearance of aipool for pre-sale, anti-rug pull, and anti-MEV, isn't it an upgrade to the current DeFi experience? Without going too far, let's talk about the great benefits that are right in front of us:
1) The overall engineering implementation of aipool is not complicated. Users send SOL (non-CA address) to the wallet address of the AI Agent, and the address generates a private key in the TEE environment and pre-sets access permission management Pool. When certain conditions are met, the AI will automatically create a liquidity pool on the on-chain DEX and distribute tokens to eligible participants, and the collected transaction fees will be aggregated into the AI wallet;
2) The whole process is no different from the previously popular KOL money-sending Fi, except that this round of money-sending Fi is driven by the AI Agent. The AI Agent independently controls the private key address (cannot rug pull), the AI Agent independently creates the transaction pool (sets the whitelist, batches the fund unlocking, sets the initial price, uses the oracle for pricing, etc.) to reduce the impact of MEV arbitrage.
As for how the AI Agent can independently generate private keys, the AI-Pool used the @PhalaNetwork TEE technology solution, the general process is:
1. Generate the private key in the Secure Enclave secure enclave, and the private key will not leave the TEE environment, and all signing operations are only completed within the TEE;
2. The TEE can define a set of verifiable interactive communication rules, and the external can realize remote authentication, transaction verification and real-time status monitoring, which is equivalent to using the decentralized consensus (smart contract, transparent traceability) of the chain to manage and schedule the assets in the TEE. The Phala Contract can run in the TEE environment for offline calculation and interact with the external chain to achieve multi-chain interoperability;
Although Phala Network's performance in the previous wave of AI narratives was not particularly eye-catching, to be honest, in the integration of AI Agent and TEE to achieve secure asset custody capabilities, and in the integration of decentralized chain consensus governance and smart contract scheduling with the AI runtime environment, Phala's AI Agent solution has been adopted by the huge new business IP of ai16z, which is just imaginable.
3) The inclusion of AI Agent in "trading features" has always been a market expectation, but now it is already rare for AI Agent to be able to automatically execute some pre-programmed logic without errors, let alone reaching the stage of autonomously discovering trading opportunities, making autonomous decisions, and autonomous stop-loss and take-profit. This requires a lot of support at the distributed chain consensus layer:
For example, can there be a decentralized Oracle that provides real-time and accurate pricing? Can there be a DA data availability solution that is adapted to the AI Agent? Can there be a decentralized governance verification solution? Can there be a Solver Marketplace that can handle large-scale multi-scenario intention transactions, etc.
Since the workflow of the AI Agent inevitably involves calling off-chain APIs such as GPT4, this chain adapted to the AI Agent must also solve the integration of off-chain and on-chain. This makes sense, as the old chain infra also needs to find new growth opportunities by integrating off-chain, and the new AI Agent narrative will accelerate the integration of the on-chain and off-chain worlds.
But I want to say that AI Agent + Chain is still a distant goal in this wave of AI narratives, as the current level of autonomy of AI Agent is still far from being able to achieve it.
However, focusing on the present, the fact that the AI Agent can snatch the "asset custody right" from a bunch of habitual scammers and rug pullers is already a great achievement. So, will a PumpFun run by the AI Agent come out? Will an open-source enhanced Virtual open platform come? Will a new DeFi market specifically serving the AI Agent also refresh?.... I'll stop imagining.
In short, I'll just light the fuse, and let the market's "explosion" in the future prove how many new and interesting things will come out of AI Agent+DeFi, AI Agent money-sending Fi, and AI Agent integration with the chain.
