Q3x

Q3X is an AI-powered treasury management platform that enables teams without dedicated operations staff to securely manage crypto assets using natural language commands. Born from the lessons of the February 2025 Bybit hack ($1.4B stolen), Q3X addresses the fundamental flaw in crypto treasury management: complexity creates vulnerability. Smaller teams face an impossible choice between advanced security (requiring expertise they lack), simple solutions (leaving funds vulnerable), or hiring dedicated ops staff (which most cannot afford). Q3X eliminates this tradeoff through three revolutionary capabilities:

Adaptive Security Framework: Context-aware policies that adjust based on transaction type, amount, and timing. Our system would have detected Bybit's initial test transaction and prevented the subsequent theft. AI Operations Layer: Natural language processing turns simple requests like "Send monthly payments to our devs" into secure, batched transactions. The system also provides proactive insights like "Your runway is decreasing by 15% this month." Cross-Chain Intelligence: A unified dashboard showing complete treasury positions across chains with real-time monitoring and collaborative approval workflows.

Our target users are operations-light teams:

DAOs with treasuries but no operations team Developer teams where founders manage finances Projects that need security without operational overhead

Q3X is positioned at the intersection of account abstraction (EIP-7702), AI capabilities, and the widening operational talent gap in crypto. We're building the financial backbone for the AI economy, where small teams can operate with enterprise-grade security without the operational burden.

Q3X integrates account abstraction, DeFi infrastructure, and AI capabilities into a seamless experience:

Core Infrastructure: Built on ERC-4337 account abstraction using Kernel smart accounts deployed on Base Implemented Circle's USDC paymaster for gasless operations via EIP-2612 permit signatures Integrated 1inch API for optimized token swapping with competitive rates ACROSS MULTIPLE CHAINS Utilized Nodit Web3 API and Elastic Node for blockchain data and reliable RPC connections Leveraged Pimlico's bundler service for efficient transaction submission

AI Architecture: We developed a multi-agent system with specialized components:

ActionAgentBrain: Processes natural language into executable blockchain actions SummarizeAgentBrain: Creates human-readable explanations of technical operations Risk Assessment Engine: Evaluates transaction patterns for security threats

The most innovative aspect is our transaction processing pipeline:

User inputs a natural language request Our LLM parses it and generates a structured representation of the intended actions The system constructs appropriate transaction calls with risk assessment A human-readable summary is presented for confirmation Upon approval, the system assembles a user operation containing batched transactions The operation includes USDC payment authorization to eliminate gas fees in ETH Finally, the transaction is submitted via Pimlico's bundler

We faced significant challenges in making the NLP-to-blockchain translation reliable. Our solution was to implement a two-stage parsing process with a validation layer that confirms the interpreted actions match user intent before execution. The combination of Circle's paymaster with account abstraction was particularly powerful, allowing us to create a completely gasless experience where users never need to hold ETH to execute transactions.
