Project Description

​A user pastes a transaction hash, and our AI returns a plain-English explanation (e.g., "This was a token swap on Uniswap"). This AI-generated rationale is a new, valuable piece of synthetic data. We store this data on Lighthouse and launched the $WHY data coin on 1MB.io to create an economy where auditors or other AI agents can buy this valuable, labeled data.

How it's Made

​This project is a React/Next.js frontend and a Python/Flask backend (the AI agent), deployed together on Vercel. ​Frontend (React) sends a transaction hash to the Python API. ​Backend (Python) uses web3.py and Alchemy to get the transaction data. ​AI Agent (OpenAI): This data is fed to GPT-4o to generate a human-readable JSON rationale. Data Storage (Lighthouse): The AI's JSON response is uploaded and stored on Lighthouse, creating our permanent synthetic data asset. ​Frontend (React) displays the rationale and the Lighthouse CID (proof of storage) to the user. ​Lighthouse was essential for storing the AI-generated data our agent creates. 1MB.io allowed us to instantly launch the $WHY data coin to power our new data economy.
