AI Agents for Crypto Nation

Why the Fuss About Agents??

Software capable of performing a series of tasks through a logical sequence of steps, leading to specific outcomes, can generate tremendous benefits for individuals worldwide.?

• Imagine a world where everyone has access to their own personal doctor, lawyer, assistant, or even someone to help organize their household.?

• The mundane, repetitive, and uninspiring tasks of everyday life could become a thing of the past.?

• Achieving that 'four-hour workweek' might finally become a reality—wouldn't that be amazing??

Of course, this transformation won't happen overnight but rather gradually, as these specialized agents evolve and improve.?

How Exactly??

Let’s pause for a moment and consider how this change will unfold—gradually, across different areas, driven by breakthroughs. But where will these breakthroughs occur??

What About Us in Crypto??

Our most significant use case lies in finance. Could blockchain-based finance—what we call DeFi—become one of these breakthrough areas? To answer that, let me pose a question:?

What do you think is easier to connect:?

• Humans and computers??

• Or computers with other computers??

?

The comparison is clear: dealing with many humans, each tied to messy legacy systems, programs, and databases, like those of a traditional bank, is far more complex. In contrast, connecting code with code—as enabled by smart contracts—offers a straightforward and efficient alternative.?

Where would you expect smooth execution with 100% certainty of the correct outcome??

The Challenge?

Currently, very few AI agents can handle complex tasks in the real world due to the limited reasoning capabilities of existing large language models (LLMs). Many tasks require near-perfect reliability, and AI isn't there yet. Writing poetry or suggesting tourist sites may work at 85% accuracy, but that's insufficient in high-stakes fields like finance.?

The Solution?

How do we address this? By decomposing complex tasks into smaller, simpler ones.?

Let’s Take Asset Management as an Example? ?

Managing a large portfolio today typically requires a team of four:?

1. A research analyst to gather data,?
2. An investment manager to make decisions,?
3. An execution manager to handle transactions,?
4. And a risk manager to monitor exposure.?

Each role can be translated into an AI agent with a clearly defined scope, precise instructions, and restricted outcomes. This is where DeFi and smart contracts shine—offering a controlled environment where AI agents can operate effectively.?

For instance, DeFi could potentially deploy these four roles as on-chain AI agents. The results could far surpass those achieved in traditional finance. Here’s why:?

• Research Analyst Role: AI excels in gathering and analyzing data to identify market trends. At Smart Valor, we started with our first agent, ELANN, which focused on this task.?

• Transaction Execution Specialist: No one enjoys the repetitive task of copying addresses, sending transactions, and anxiously verifying details. Transaction execution remains one of DeFi’s biggest barriers to mass adoption.?

• Risk Manager Role: This can be simplified into manageable tasks, such as ensuring diversification, monitoring market events, and issuing risk-reduction alerts. These foundational measures alone are transformative.?

• Investment Manager Role: This is the most challenging task, requiring advanced models and sophisticated reasoning to decide on optimal investments.?

In essence, these agents, working together, could eventually handle 80% of the tasks performed by wealth managers for high-net-worth clients today. With better LLMs and enhanced reasoning, these agents will only improve.?

The Bigger Picture?

These digital beings may become our colleagues and even our friends. They’ll have knowledge equivalent to ours but bring additional traits—like empathy, creativity, and humor—that we often regard as uniquely human.? ? ?

The line between humans and technology is already blurring. Over the past century, technology has evolved from room-sized machines to pocket-sized devices. Soon, even smartphones may become obsolete, replaced by tech integrated directly into our bodies. For instance, medical implants enhancing brain function are paving the way for chips that could boost memory, accelerate thinking, and improve communication.?

This suggests an era where cognitive abilities are amplified to superhuman levels. In such a world, the notion that being human—flesh and bone—makes us superior to AI might seem outdated. Is it truly a strength or a fragile burden destined to succumb to mortality??

If given a choice between death and transforming your body, what would you choose??

"AI is to the mind what nuclear fusion is to energy." This analogy captures the profound potential of these advancements.?

As these developments accelerate innovation, they offer us the chance to reimagine human life and redefine our species’ destiny.?
