Minerva

Minerva is an autonomous DAO voting system. The primary objective of this project is to enable AI agents to participate in DAO governance voting on behalf of their creators. These agents make decisions based on the character profile of the creator. Users can either accept the agent's vote or challenge it if the decision doesn't align with their expectations. They retain the flexibility to request the agent to re-evaluate decisions at any time.

Project Workflow:

• Users create an account on https://minerva.vote

• Users can either:

  • Create a private, personalized agent
  • Delegate voting power to an existing public agent

• When creating a private agent, the character profile can be generated through two methods: a. Analysis of a Twitter profile (which doesn't necessarily need to be the user's own) b. User-selected characteristic tags

• The system leverages ChatGPT 3.5 via OpenAI API to analyze Twitter posts and generate character profiles. This is implemented in the createTwitterCharacterProfile() method: https://github.com/MinervaGov/minerva_main/blob/5cf9583d95b9004a80c589161c003741237de0aa/server/src/utils/openai.js#L8

• The agent is created using either the Twitter-based profile or selected tags: https://github.com/MinervaGov/minerva_main/blob/5cf9583d95b9004a80c589161c003741237de0aa/server/src/controllers/agentController.js#L185

• Once created, the agent is ready for voting operations.

• The server continuously monitors snapshot.org for new proposals. When detected, proposals are indexed and enhanced with AI-generated summaries before being queued for decision-making.

• The voting process involves multiple components:

• The Gaia node makes the final decision

• The CDP agent facilitates this by:

  • Sending prompts to the Gaia node
  • Processing the decision results
  • Executing votes using a Privy wallet

• Relevant implementations:

• Snapshot integration: https://github.com/MinervaGov/minerva_main/blob/5cf9583d95b9004a80c589161c003741237de0aa/server/src/utils/snapshot.js#L172 https://github.com/MinervaGov/minerva_main/blob/5cf9583d95b9004a80c589161c003741237de0aa/server/src/utils/snapshot.js#L204

• Vote parsing: https://github.com/MinervaGov/minerva_main/blob/5cf9583d95b9004a80c589161c003741237de0aa/server/src/utils/VoteParser.js#L150 https://github.com/MinervaGov/minerva_main/blob/5cf9583d95b9004a80c589161c003741237de0aa/server/src/utils/VoteParser.js#L207

• Privy wallet voting: https://github.com/MinervaGov/minerva_main/blob/5cf9583d95b9004a80c589161c003741237de0aa/server/src/utils/scheduler.js#L111

• Voting outcomes are: Displayed on the website Distributed as notifications to subscribers via Telegram and Discord https://github.com/MinervaGov/minerva_main/blob/5cf9583d95b9004a80c589161c003741237de0aa/server/src/utils/VoteParser.js#L220

• Agent owners retain full control and can:

  • Request decision re-evaluation
  • Override decisions completely

Core Technologies

• Gaia (Knowledge Base & LLM): Gaia serves as the knowledge repository and reasoning engine for Minerva. It enables agents to process DAO proposals, understand context, and make informed voting decisions based on historical data and predefined rules.
• CDP Agent Kit + Privy's Server Wallet: The CDP Agent Kit provides each agent with a dedicated wallet, enabling automated transaction execution. Inside the CDP Agent Kit, Privy’s server wallet is used to securely store these wallets in a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), removing the need for manual private key management.
• Snapshot Governance Execution: The system directly interacts with Snapshot Proposals to cast votes, ensuring transparency and accountability.

Features

1. Autonomous Decision-Making: Minerva uses LLM-driven reasoning for proposal evaluation, making voting decisions without human intervention.
2. Scalable Agent Infrastructure: The system dynamically provisions wallets for agents, allowing seamless expansion across multiple DAOs.
