Project Description

Researcher is a personal AI agent designed to be the average user's co-pilot for navigating the complex world of Web3. It operates as a Mini App within World App, providing a simple, conversational interface to powerful DeFi tools. The system is built on a multi-agent architecture: A proactive Opportunity Sentry agent works 24/7 in the background, using an LLM to analyze social narratives and on-chain data to find high-conviction investment opportunities before they become mainstream. A powerful Researcher (Chief) Agent is activated when a user makes a request or when the Sentry detects an opportunity. It performs deep due diligence using a full suite of analysis tools. The core user experience is built around a secure "Propose & Execute" pattern. The agent does all the research, provides a detailed proposal with risk analysis, and then presents it to the user. The user gives final approval from their own secure wallet, which then executes the trade and sets up automated risk management rules (like stop-losses and take-profits) that are monitored by our backend.

How it's Made

The Researcher is a sophisticated, multi-agent system built on a modern Python backend with FastAPI, and is designed to be consumed by a Next.js frontend. Core Architecture: We adopted the goat-sdk as our foundational framework for its crypto-native components. This was a game-changer, providing standardized, battle-tested solutions for wallet management and on-chain tool integration. The agent logic is powered by pydantic-ai, which allows us to create structured, tool-using agents. Our system features a "Chief-and-Sentry" model: a powerful O3 based Researcher agent orchestrates tasks, while a lightweight o3-mini based Opportunity Sentry runs persistently in the background. Sponsor Technology Integration: World App & Privy: The user-facing component is a World App Mini App. Onboarding is handled by both World ID and the Privy SDK, which creates an embedded wallet. This wallet then becomes the owner of a Crossmint Smart Wallet, creating a secure, non-custodial "vault" for the user's funds. This architecture provides a seamless and secure user experience. 1inch: Our ManagedExecutionPlanner tool uses the 1inch API to find the most optimal swap routes and to place advanced limit orders, which is a core part of our trade execution strategy. The Graph: Our AnalystPlugin is heavily reliant on The Graph's MCPs and Token APIs to provide the rich, on-chain data needed for our ProjectHealthAnalyzer tool. Oasis: We built a custom GOAT plugin that uses Oasis ROFL to perform confidential portfolio analysis, ensuring user privacy.

How it's Pieced Together: The system is composed of two main backend services managed by a Procfile: The Agent Service (FastAPI): Runs the main Researcher agent, the Sentry's background monitoring loop, the trade monitor, and the user-facing API. The MCP Tool Service (FastAPI): Serves our stateless tools (like the GrokSentimentAnalyzer) via a REST API, which the main agent consumes. The most notable "hack" was designing the Opportunity Sentry's "reasoning by analogy" prompt, which allows a small, cheap LLM to perform high-level qualitative analysis by comparing new market patterns to historical examples like the Solana ecosystem boom and the Arbitrum airdrop. This makes our proactive alerting system incredibly intelligent and efficient.
