# Application Title

ængel, a first step towards æiternity

# Applicant

I am a long term community member since the ICO times. I have been part of the aeternity team from Early 2020 to mid 2021. In crypto since 2016 I have worked for several OS projects as Dappnode or Rootstock. Here is my Linkedin and forum profile .

# Value Application

The æiternity initiative is a bold strategic shift to integrate AI deeply into the æternity protocol and ecosystem, positioning æternity as the go-to chain for AI decentralized innovation. >

ængel is a first baby step in this direction.

Objectives of the application are:

  1. Reignite Investor Interest: Through potential visionary rebranding and AI-powered repositioning. The market is crazy about the intersection about blockchain and AI, let’s give what they want. æiternity should be perceived as the best chain for AI agents deployed use cases, because of its unique features.
  2. Expand Ecosystem development efforts: By embedding AI in tooling. content creation , comms, BD, marketing, dapp development and support. The idea is to superpower our reach and impact by leveraging AI tools.
  3. Empower Developers and community members: Via the continuous development of ængel, an AI-powered assistant tailored to support developers and the æcosystem. It is much easier now to make meaningful contributions to the æcosystem even by non dev people. As an example Guardiæn bot was made with the help of AI.

The successful and progressive implementation in phases of this concept will redefine æternity’s value proposition and create a lasting impact in the Web3 space.

# Status Quo

While æternity has been a pioneer in blockchain innovation, its adoption so far does not correspond to its potential. This project aims to overcome adoption challenges by infusing AI into its core, being a strategic force to foster ecosystem development in a first step and evolving towards making æternity the go-to protocol for AI decentralized systems.

A a long term vision for æiternity, autonomous agents deploying and operating æpps on æternity represent a transformative vision for Web3. The scalability, native oracles, and developer-friendly tools of æternity provide a strong foundation for this future. While technical challenges remain, the integration of AI, autonomous systems, and blockchain technologies opens the door to decentralized applications that evolve, optimize, and sustain themselves without human intervention. This isn’t just a possibility; it’s a glimpse of the decentralized, intelligent future æternity was built to lead.

If a few humans have deployed dapps on æternity , autonomous agents will.

# Required Work

Assessment of utility, use and fine tuning expansion of the current version of ængel.

  • Initial deployment of gpt assistant ængel (done)
  • Fine tuning of instructions to achieve the best results. Mostly with Sophia code writing and migration.
  • Continous use , feedback and sharing.
  • Gathering feedback and proposing use cases to the community
  • Encouraging community to use it for spreading aeternity word.
  • Researching how to make ængel be accesible through aeternity channels (web, telegram, discord)
  • Creation of an ængel twitter account
  • Research on AI partnerships to expand ængel capabilities
  • Comms . Creation and dynamization of an æiternity category in the forum.

# Estimate

The project will run until 31 th March 2025 , with an estimate of 480 hours.

# Known Limitations

The fine tuning of Sophia needs some contribution from Sophia savvy community members / contributors. Availability of ængel as it is in telegram, discord ,etc might not be possible for accessibility of gpt assistants via API.

# Publishment

Every output of this work will be posted in a GitHub repo and/ or the forum

Thanks a lot !

So honoured and grateful of receiving this grant and working towards converting aeternity in the home of onchain AI economies, and leverage AI to occupy the place aeternity naturally deserves in the space.

Precisely a couple of days ago I read this article on coindesk. 2025 Will Be the Year That AI Agents Transform Crypto . The timing seems to look good!

Some initial updates on progress:

ægent deployment:

After researching available open source agent frameworks, I already made some tests to deploy an ægent to start experimenting….

I have done very simple tests using SuperAGI and the most known framework in crypto Eliza, I tried both on my local machine and a gitpod and I think I am close to have a first simple but working version.

The first objective here is to link the agent with a twitter account, so it starts automatically posting and interacting about aeternity superiority for onchain AI economies, one of the target audiences for this will be other existing known agents as terminal of truth or aixbt.

One of the vision outcomes here would be having an autonomous agent that autonomously operates/trades in other blockchains and uses profits to deploy AE/ETH liquidity.

Use and Fine tuning of ængel

Since I deployed ængel and made the grant request I have not stoped making it work and tune it accordingly on topics such as advantages of aeternity, hyperchains use cases, BitcoinOS/aeternity possibilities, deploying a AE/ EVM native bridge using Layerzero, as some examples.

I will paste a sample of this queries links for the community to check

On this note here you have a little article about the absolute idoineity of aeternity for crypto AI use cases, what in a great degree has made me start this grant request.

The On-Chain AI Economy: Challenges, Functional Features, and Æternity’s….pdf (31.3 KB)

We have a unique opportunity here and I will devote all what is in my hands to make it a reality together with the greater community and æcosystem.

Currently developing an action plan to involve the community in this effort and start gaining visibility. Hope to have it ready by early next week together with more updates.

Thanks again, and I remain fully available for any doubt or suggestion.

UPDATES:

From the last post I have been focused on getting a working version of an ægent , and I have succeeded both with SuperAGI (hosted) and Eliza (the most powerful framework that is being used for CryptoXAI purposes)

SuperAGI:

I configured a test agent with the following goals:

  1. Collect information about the features that a blockchain should habe to foster the deployment of onchain AI economies

  2. Look up for a tech stack that is perfectly suitable for AI agents to deploy operations and dapps

  3. Retrieve information about the dev tooling and SDK’s that would be needed for a chain to position itself as the perfect infrastructure for AI’s

  4. Analyze the aeternity technical features and ecosystem, dev tooling and tech stack in general of aeternity.com and take them as a starting point to be improved

  5. Produce a detailed report that covers two main parts. 1. Current status of aeternity to be the go-to chain for AI economies, stregnts and weaknesses, compared to other blockchains and a reccomendation report on the gaps that aeternity should cover to be preferred choice of deployment for AI agents

  6. Generate an action plan for aeternity to achieve such AI agentes default blockchain status

  7. Generate the above mentioned reports with proper formatting(Highlighting, bullet points, headings) in a txt file

This is the interfaz view, and output of the run:

Eliza:

I finally managed to deploy ængel as an Eliza framework based agent, neither SuperAGi nor Eliza are yet connected to a twitter account, making some tests yet and dealing with the Twitter API intricacies.

The agent is deployed for testing purposes in a gitpod at https://5173-elizaos-eliza-u2r3ea7tkd8.ws-eu117.gitpod.io .

It is currently using OPENAI as model provider but this will change, the current deployment has been an MVP which will be evolving and adding features and refinements.
this is the current json with the characterization of the agent.

Even though it has no connection yet to the outside world there is an interfaz to interact with it in the above mentioned URL:

The objective of this deployment is having an equally (or more) powerful ængel version than the current gpt assistant now, but based on open source software and available to be used from an aeternity style interfaz and domain completely outside the openAI realm.


I have been heavily focused on this to finish the year with a working version of an aeternity agent, but before the end of the week I will post the proposal action plan to involve the community and start creating awareness about this initiative.

Wishing the best to all the fæm for this year that is about to begin !!! Lots of success, love and peace for everyone !

Hæppy New Year!!!

LAST MINUTE UPDATE

The Eliza framework based version of ængel is not “living” on gitpod anymore but @ http://89.250.73.39:5173/ and publicly accesible.

Feels so good to close the year like this, also closing the computer now :))))

Hæppy New Year!!!

The knowledge of the open source eliza version of aengel has just been upgraded and redeployed. After a few problems with building back the services to effectively upgrade its knowledge, aengel is back both on the web interfaz at http://89.250.73.39:5173 and as a telegram bot, that will be soon unveiled!

This is the new characterization file for aengel with the updated knowledge section, any feedback or suggestion to add/ modify/delete… more than welcome and appreciated!!
