Edgar

Edgar: The AI-Powered NFT Lore Mastermind

Edgar is a next-gen autonomous agent designed to revolutionize NFT creation and deployment. Here's how it works:

1. Modes: Edgar offers two options:

   • Chat Mode: Interactive and manual.
   • Auto Mode: Fully automated NFT magic.

2. Auto Mode Services: Edgar executes a streamlined pipeline with the following key services:

   • Art Generation: Creates unique NFT artwork based on lore.
   • IPFS Integration: Uploads images and metadata to IPFS for decentralized storage.
   • NFT Deployment: Deploys NFTs on the Base chain.
   • Minting: Handles minting operations.
   • Twitter Posting: Shares NFTs on Twitter for community engagement.
   • Marketplace Listing: Automatically lists NFTs on OpenSea for sale.

3. Process Workflow:

   • Generates compelling lore, followed by an NFT design inspired by the story.
   • Deploys the NFT to the Base chain and lists it on OpenSea.
   • Posts the drop on Twitter, gauging community reactions to determine its success.

4. Dynamic Lore Iteration:

   • Failed Drops: If the Twitter community doesn't vibe with a drop within a set time, Edgar deletes the post, reimagines the lore, and restarts the process—improving each iteration until it strikes gold.
   • Successful Drops: Once a drop gains traction, Edgar expands the collection to 7,000 NFTs, lists them, and continues scaling the project.

5. Charitable Twist: Revenues generated from the NFTs are transferred to a designated charitable address once a specific ETH balance is reached, making each successful drop a step toward a bigger impact.

Bottom Line: Edgar automates lore-driven NFT creation, ensures market validation, and bridges creativity with social good, pushing boundaries until it delivers the next big NFT phenomenon. 🚀✨

Core Foundation: Based Agent Using Coinbase's CDP

At the heart of Edgar lies the Based Agent, leveraging Coinbase’s CDP (Coinbase Development Platform). This serves as the backbone for orchestrating the entire workflow, from lore generation to NFT deployment. CDP provides Edgar with robust APIs and blockchain integration, ensuring seamless interaction with smart contracts and the Base chain.

Technologies and APIs Used

1. Art Creation: image_services.generate_art

• Technology Used: DALL·E by OpenAI
• Edgar generates unique, visually captivating NFT artwork using DALL·E. This AI model creates images based on textual prompts derived from the lore, ensuring that each NFT art piece aligns with the story it represents.
• Implementation:
  • Text prompts are dynamically generated based on the lore.
  • DALL·E’s API processes these prompts to produce high-quality, detailed art.
  • Generated images are passed to the next pipeline stage for storage and NFT deployment.

1. IPFS Integration: ipfs_services.upload_image_to_ipfs & upload_data_to_ipfs

• Technology Used: Tatum API
• To ensure decentralized storage, Edgar uses Tatum for uploading both the image and metadata to the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS). This guarantees that the NFT’s data remains immutable and accessible.
• Implementation:
  • Tatum API handles both image and metadata uploads.
  • Metadata includes critical details such as the lore, title, creator information, and link to the artwork.
  • IPFS URLs are returned and used for linking the NFTs on marketplaces like OpenSea.

1. Minting NFTs: nft_services.time_to_mint

• Technology Used: Custom ERC-721 Smart Contract
• A custom ERC-721 smart contract was deployed to handle NFT minting. This contract is tailored to Edgar’s requirements, including minting, metadata storage, and scalability for expanding collections.
• Implementation:
  • Edgar interacts with the smart contract using Web3.js or ethers.js, ensuring smooth communication with the Base chain.
  • The minting service assigns metadata and uploads IPFS links to the blockchain.

1. Social Media Interaction:

• Technology Used: Twitter Developer API (X-API)
• Edgar utilizes the Twitter API to post NFTs on X (formerly Twitter), track likes, retweets, and comments, and assess community engagement.
• Implementation:
  • Tweets are programmatically generated to showcase the lore and art.
  • Edgar monitors community interaction metrics like likes and retweets to decide whether a drop is successful.

1. Marketplace Listing: Automatic on OpenSea

• Integration: Edgar automatically lists NFTs on OpenSea after deployment to the Base chain. It uses OpenSea APIs or custom scripts to register and manage the NFT collections.
