• Agents Infrastructure on Aptos

  • Advanced Interaction Tools: Build ElizaOs like framework that enables AI Agents to engage users in conversations, assist users, and execute on-chain transactions. Imagine an AI-powered agent that helps users navigate DeFi platforms or guides developers to deploy smart contracts.
  • Proof-of-Sentience mechanisms: Design cryptographic or behavioural proofs to verify AI Agents Independence and Intelligence, ensuring the decision made is transparent.
  • Workflow Automation: Automate complex on-chain workflows such as executing multiple swaps, managing contracts, or handling governance proposals.

• Agents Token Tooling on Aptos

  • Fair token launches: Create AI-driven mechanism to ensure an equitable token launch, mitigating bots attacks and dominance.
  • Liquidity Provisioning and Locking: Automate Liquidity Provision and Locking/Permanent Burn of Liquidity Tokens to support smooth Token Launch and running.
  • Stake-to-earn mechanisms: Design Staking mechanism where AI optimises the rewards distribution for the stakers through dynamic rewards depending on users and markets behaviour.

• DeFi Agents on Aptos

  • Lending and borrowing strategies: AI-powered application where the agent searches for optimised lending rates and best borrowing options to make decent earnings.
  • Perpetuals trading: An AI-powered Dapp which dynamically hedges positions, manages leverage, and executes liquidation prevention strategies.
  • Auto-rebalancing of LPs: An AI Agent which rebalances the LP (Liquidity Pool) Positions and claims fees to maximise the fee earnings and minimise the impermanent losses.
  • Staking solutions: An Agent which moves the funds across the staking protocols to maximise the yields automatically.

• Trading Agents on Aptos

  • AI-powered copy trading: Onchain analysis of specific wallet clusters by the Agent to find the copy trading opportunities and mimic their strategies and trades.
