   me what you want want m

2. 2:13

   hello everyone Welcome to our winner showcase uh we wrapped we wrapped up one trillion agents uh autonomous agents heon just a week ago it feels like that because we're still finishing up payouts the winners so there is a lot of back on work on our side uh but it feels like it was yesterday with 2,000 participants and 1,000 100,000 uh dollars in prizes it was one of the biggest heatons in new

3. 2:42

   ecosystem uh hosted by near death and hackbox in yours truly uh super grateful for everyone who invested their energy and time and and thoughts and head space into this heon build all of those amazing amazing projects uh this all happens uh thanks to our our amazing sponsors uh near Foundation near De Electric Capital proximity Aurora near Ai and more more uh of of those including B in hot and Swan chain and

4. 3:13

   and you can see all of them on ont uh- agents. dpost docomo submitted or what kind of bounties there were if you missed the whole fun uh please go ahead to Dev post check that hackaton gallery and you will find out what what is cooking in in the autonomous agent space right now in the intersection of AI and web3 so I would like to welcome uh our sponsors we have three of them today with us we have Slava from Aurora hey Slava did you like

5. 3:47

   H yes yes definitely definitely hey Nate hey what was your favorite impression of the heckadon for me we've been doing this for six and a half years as an nft marketplace now an AI engine and we've hosted a lot of hackathons uh this one by far was probably some of the best submissions most creative uh implementations and things that we could actually play around with uh that we've had so it was uh surprising actually uh but very

6. 4:21

   exciting hey we also have uh I think we have Kendall from proximity if I'm not mistaken but he's not on screen right now hey Kendall yeah early time zone wise no no no hey everyone uh yeah know I Echo what Nate said a lot of actually really cool usable agents um I think we also saw some agents that were using Bitcoin uh which is not not a super easy thing to do using some really cool Tech that uh us and and a lot of the sponsors have cooked up um and then a lot of cross

7. 4:56

   chain cross chain agents as well or chain agnostic agents which is really cool to see so what I just wanted to flag to everyone who's hosting heatons out there these three sponsors received the most high quality submissions because they invested a lot of time and effort into describing their bounties and I think for this hack I think it was a little bit unusual because usually uh hackers are begging for creative freedom let us

8. 5:20

   build whatever we want to build for this space for AI space autonomous agents it's a little bit different because this is new for everyone even I think for for everyone on this call this is relatively new we're still discovering what is there to build so uh providing solid Bounty prompts uh explaining people what exactly do we expect them to build is a key to success and the recipe for uh

9. 5:43

   great submissions talking about submissions uh tonight today tonight for me today for I think the majority of people on this call uh we invited some winners to join us and uh to Showcase their project uh the Showcase will be set by track we have three tracks uh and every winner who's present on this call will receive four minutes to do a quick demo and to explain what their project is about and then if we have some uh

10. 6:11

    time left in the end uh we will ask them some questions so let's jum into this uh we will start with a track that is called defi agents uh I believe that we have two projects who won uh this track so if we can get them on the screen that would be just perfect started with balancer assistant hey Manuel hey hi Maria how are you ready for your four minutes of fame sure yeah yeah all right let's dive into this sure

11. 6:42

    definitely um yeah so basically we built U balancer assistant for our hackathon this submission actually we built three agents out of which uh Dy track we got this price for the balances assistant so this assistant is used to swap tokens across chains from your near wallet B wallet itself so mainly we are targeting um evm chains so starting like we targeted polygon and other AVM chains as well so as you see as you can see in the screen uh currently we can swap any

12. 7:13

    tokens uh by giving the Contra addresses of the token but also we are also working on to enhance this user experience by giving the token symbol itself so begin the scenes we are working on that right now and uh secondly what we have plans is currently uh the execution happens based on the user commands but also we have plans to um make this fully autonomous for example we can uh make this agent to

13. 7:39

    be fully autonomous by uh making it uh work for maybe any trading strategies or yield forming strategies uh across any chains out there so that is our second plan to make this fully autonomous uh so once we make that autonomous uh I think then only we'll have uh we'll using the full make use of this application on top of bit so that is one of the major future thing that we are working on and uh so yeah as you can see in the screen we are right now signing the transaction on evm chain so once that is done uh

14. 8:13

    we'll be able to uh see the transaction as in the Explorer currently we did did it in the polygon uh Network so also this this could be uh this could be integrated with other evm chains as well currently it is working in polygon but it be working multiple non I mean evm and non evm chains as well so for this G track I think this is our submission and uh we are very happy that uh it was

15. 8:39

    recognized and we got this price for this track thank you thank you for staying within the timing um I believe uh did you did you hack on sponsored bounties I think you leverage B right AB okay maybe we can ask Nate for some comments and maybe some advice uh what would you advise to menal to keep successful building this project maybe some features that he needs to implement yeah he did a few he did Lio as well uh which you can stake

16. 9:12

    eth and do that sort of stuff uh what would be neat is if like right now you put in the contract IDs uh if you could search the tokens and then say I'd like to swap this for that then we'll get that thing uh verified and pushed to to the main store I think that would be pretty neat to uh push that on the on the heads of all the bits definitely yeah that's uh that's being already worked on in the back end so yeah we'll notify you once that is done cool and what we're working on is actually aggregating some of your

17. 9:43

    tooling so not only will you have an agent where you can have your balancer but you'll have your Lio and you can just merge the two together and all of a sudden you have one agent that can do these two different things or three different things with backs so exciting let's go yeah pretty awesome merge it thank you Nate um maybe we have some comments from Slava or from Kendall just some wise words of advice yeah we have Slava here

18. 10:13

    hi did you review manal submissions uh back when we judged the heon did you take a look at it actually no because it wasn't suitable for the virtual chain bounty we were sponsoring so I kind of missed it back then but overall project looks great to me right now and like I wish you well and like as with any project like I usually just say to people just stay focused like just do unseen well make your customers happy and that's like a

19. 10:44

    way to success absolutely thank you thank you love it thank you thank you words of advice questions from Kendall would you like to add anything um no it looks very interesting I think yeah Echo you know I think what Nate said about uh making it easy to add support for for new tokens and then you know I I think a cool thing to do is thinking about how you can pull in additional context for users to know like okay this is definitely the right these are the right contracts or the right addresses I'm interacting with kind of like you know Unis swop has

20. 11:18

    their uh their like list functionality uh Jupiter has kind of their like verified verified token functionality I think that that'll be important for a lot of agent Builders to just like help users gain Trust using the agents um but you know looks very interesting thank you Kendall thank you uel uh all right let's move on to the next winner in our defi agents track uh Bitcoin agent uh do we have a presenter y hi welcome yeah hi Maria how are you um everything is great and I think

21. 11:50

    everything's going to be great for you at least for the next four minutes when we gonna play your demma in front of all those people following devhub life so let's go yeah thank you so much let's get started uh GM everyone uh great to be here uh we are team alphs and we built Bitcoin agent during one TR agents heom it's an a agent that uses near chain signatures to interact with Bitcoin L1 so what can this a agent do this a agent can create and send Bitcoin transactions

22. 12:19

    using your near account it can also provide information about your near account and Associated Bitcoin testnet address including their balances so um that Tex tag which we use here was B agent NE chain signatures and Bitcoin L1 testet by the way we'll soon be having this agent live for Bitcoin mainnet we have a road map and are in talks with beta team to get the agent verified so a quick rundown of uh how

23. 12:44

    all of this is working background is um the agent is running in the AI agent runtime uh and with just your your account using the MPC uh signer NPC service you can get a signature for uh a Bitcoin chain and then you can just broadcast the signature U using our agent so uh let's just see a demo of this and uh yeah let's just um see how how how this how all of this works so I will just click on launch agent and here we here we are on the playground uh on

24. 13:15

    in the bet uh interface so we will just ask our agent that what it can do and it should give us a list of operations that you can perform with this agent right so uh with this you can create and send transactions so and you can also get blockchain information like your balances and all so let's just query our balances to see how much Bitcoin I have on this test net address so it just

25. 13:39

    shows me I have something like 0.04 Bitcoin and this is my testet address so let's just try to do something interesting where we can just send a transaction on bitcoin chain with this agent so I will try sending 10,000 satoshis to this test net address and it should create a near transaction which I can sign which will get me a signature uh signed by the MPC service which I can then uh broadcast on bitcoin Network so uh here

26. 14:10

    is the transaction and we can see that we have received a signature here from the MPC service so yeah I think the demo is yeah it's there so yeah so now uh the agent tells us to send this transaction to uh Bitcoin L1 right so we can just uh get this transaction hash and ask our agent that yeah just send this transaction to uh Bitcoin chain so we will just provide it the hash and agent will do its thing in the background so and you will you will receive a hash which is actually a

27. 14:50

    transaction hash on bitcoin Network right so we can just query this hash to confirm that whether transaction was sent or not so uh so as you saw this was a quick demo of some of the capabilities of Bitcoin agent and in this demo you uh you can see that you don't need to directly interact with Bitcoin chain to perform any operation everything is just handled through agent in natural

28. 15:13

    language right and U I would like to share a future vision of our project U the goal is to basically have a full stack Bitcoin agent right on here using chain signatures that can basically tap into Bitcoin defi uh and the very next step that we have in our own that's the that's the next thing which we we have in our road map and we are in talks with B team and your ecosystem to build and have this ready as soon as we possibly

29. 15:36

    can so a lot of amazing stuff uh will be coming in next couple of weeks and yeah it's exciting times and we we are very excited to uh be building with with near AI yeah so that's all uh here are handles if anybody interested in getting in touch so you can just uh give me I just send a message and I'm always available to have chat yeah thank you so much amazing peit I always like when when people integrate their vision of the uh future or at least the next several months into their pitch so

30. 16:08

    Nate uh would you like to give some advice what do you think about road map for Bitcoin agent yeah definitely creative uh seeing Bitcoin stuff also with the other uh things that are popping up uh really a main net uh transaction I think will be key to getting it over to uh to get in it verified and we'll we'll we'll promote as much as we can so very unique that's exactly the plan we have actually yeah that's exactly what

31. 16:39

    we are trying to achieve yeah and what's cool with this is that you create that MPC account and not only doesn't work with like bits of wallet but any other MPC related wallets will also work automatically out of the box so you're not just uh stuck uh with with bit of wallet or any of the other wallets it's MPC related so very neat yeah thank you so much thank you so much yeah Slava Kendall any wise words for

32. 17:05

    for our winner Kendall yeah super cool uh we're we're very excited to see more Bitcoin functionality I think that's really taking advantage of the tech in in a unique way um I like the road map of focusing on uh some of the other things you can do on bitcoin like you know particularly the aird drops I think is unique uh you know it's not just interacting with runes but being able to distribute runes in new ways is something that we haven't really seen a

33. 17:28

    whole lot of super cool I think focusing on onboarding obviously it's super easy to onboard which is great uh I think thinking about how you can make it easy for people to onboard their friends um so one idea there is you know you can actually make it so that people can like send a link that their friends can use It'll like help them claim a little bit of Bitcoin uh once they sign up using like bitsa wallet or any of the other NPC wallets um so happy to you know help

34. 17:51

    you guys a bit more with that if that's of Interest we have some code for that but yeah I think just you know figuring out how you can get as many users as possible using this cuz it really will be one of the easiest ways to interact with Bitcoin which is a really cool I think uh onboarding experience for net new people yeah thank you so much and very very interesting idea of like sharing a

35. 18:09

    a link where you can just claim Bitcoin directly using your B wallet yeah thank thank you so much Kendall thank you and a comment from Slava from Aurora yeah thank you for your presentation and demo here uh from my side um I just wanted to mention also that uh here at Aurora we have the virtual chains the EVMS uh which are settled on the near protocol and they are also like they can use the chain signatures and it means that they like

36. 18:42

    you can reuse the products or like different deps on the evm on bitcoin like for example I've done a small proof of concept A few months ago with gnosi save basically allowing the uh multi signature wallets being use on bitcoin and maybe that also could be an interesting direction for you to research you can go to the documentation which we have on dev and take a look at the chain obstructions there uh there is that Pro proof of

37. 19:13

    concept there and maybe it could be interesting to incorporate some ethereum like prod projects uh which could be used as like a business logic part for the Bitcoin Network for the future um like development cycles of your product definitely thank you so much for definitely have a look at it and we connect with you uh to discuss more about more about it yeah all right uh thank you so much and just a quick note for all of the other projects out there whether you won the he or you did not uh

38. 19:47

    we have a a chat on telegram which is called near De at near De uh so if you post your project description your pitch there with the hashtag roast me H you have a good chance of reing some feedback from our judges and devals so uh this stream is not the only opportunity to do so now we're moving on to the next track social media agents uh and I think project com chain is the next presenter here hi silver how are you feeling hey

39. 20:18

    yeah I'm good how are you I'm doing well so get let's get ready to your four minutes of fame okay uh so you'll be showing the video okay okay okay perfect so U my entry was com chain uh so the um it's for actually it's a serious business so it's actually for military operations so what we see right now is that Frontline tasks are not completed by the soldiers we have lack of verification of competions there's also payout issues because in military

40. 20:49

    you have rewards you have bounties uh but for tasks to be completed but there are issues like corruption and other payout issues there's actually a lot of um science done around this and and blockchain shows potential so we're introducing something called like decentralized field operations where we can actually do it in secure and private way use near Ai and also encrypted data

41. 21:15

    to actually get much more things done so we also have token based accounting and rewards uh in the system okay so let's see how it works so first of all you log in uh and um and um the idea is that you uh can assign tasks to Frontline soldiers and then the soldiers can then complete the tasks and then earn bounties uh so how does it work so here on the left bottom side you can see the map of ongoing activities here on the

42. 21:47

    left you see list of uh things or tasks that can be done for example this one is conduct drone hit so here soldiers can upload evidence of uh successful drone hits for example and then the AI will verify it and then they get a payout so here is just an example where I upload a photo so that's a a task to um repair water stations so I upload a photo it gets encrypted put put on stacha and then a smart contract will be hit the task the completion will be stored there

43. 22:22

    that smart contract will trigger near AI that will verify the photo and then some time goes by and and then it will actually say okay the photo contained the evidence I accept it it's fine so now the the um the sorry the commander can now reward it right so they can actually issue payouts to soldiers so how does it work that that's the schema of all of those tasks so you see the

44. 22:48

    task ID and and all of like the name of the task but importantly you see the instructions so you have the instructions for the soldier but you also have ai instructions so these are for very evidence whether it's a video or photo or whatever it is so this is the data that gets stored on on blockchain so you have the result of the verification the evidence and so on now here uh you see the near AI as it queries blockchain and then decrypts the evidence and then it will describe the

45. 23:19

    image using this feed3 Vision model from near Ai and that that then you know uses it to understand what's on the image so other applications that I can see is disaster recovery operations humanitarian Aid uh search and rescue missions crowdsource data and so on so it's not only about military really it can actually help in other field like massive field operations and to to help

46. 23:44

    to complete them and earn tokens and then everything is also U secret and decentralized so that's the entry that's it thank you silver talk about real life use cases for blockchain uh dear judges do you have any thoughts this is quite unusual I think for us using blockchain for milary Nate do you have anything to say about this project com chain to too deep into it so I can't give a a bunch of information but yeah

47. 24:17

    keep on going push push push yeah so I I saw that there there's a lot of like research on like like how blockchain could help in military but I don't know any any actual projects so I thought I should give it a try to see especially with like secret AI like like near AI is I think um it's very interesting proposal for for these kinds of things might be I think it's a little bit about our PR P grade to judge that but maybe SL has

48. 24:49

    me yeah like it's hard for me actually to like uh comment like the military applications but like overall it looks interesting uh just in terms of like completing and improving the tasks thank you Kendall do you have an opinion on this what do you think uh at least on the Privacy side yeah I mean fortunately that's an area that we are very focused on um I mean there's a few different options there but like I think the core idea is you can actually run a

49. 25:20

    lot of the logic within the trusted execution environment Cloud that near is building or even bring your own so like we have this uh and a protocol called shade agents where basically you can have like a a network of independent T's that are running code and they actually can prove onchain they're running the right code in the T and that way you can do kind of like uh end to end encryption where like the the user can basically encrypt the data using a key that only

50. 25:46

    exists within the trust execution environment it can then be decrypted operated on and then re-encrypted so even the T operator doesn't know it's running so yeah very focused on privacy we're also thinking about how how to keep ad is private as well of Agents which is a little more complicated because the way we do Key Management is using this like decentralized NPC so there are is a little bit of leakage of the keys but if you use some of the

51. 26:08

    pool-based Privacy Solutions there are some options so yeah I think there's a lot of interesting applications you know definitely happy to you know come of chat more uh you know about how to how to enable that all right thank you sap so what up uh and I hope you will keep building because I remember you from from one of the previous heon I think you participate in every big hack on near hosts and let's see what comes up uh as

52. 26:33

    your as your next project so we're moving on to our next track last but not least absurd agents uh everything that can cannot accommodate defi agents and social media agents uh we have a project that is called pink subscription shade agent and we have Jay to present it hey Jay what is this about the big subscription shade agent what does it do hey Maria uh thanks for firstly thanks for having us um super stoked to be here uh I think we were both like me and ellot were both really excited about the

53. 27:02

    hackathon so um yeah ping is essentially taking a new approach to automate and reoccurring payments uh or subscriptions on Nea without taking the approach of prefunding the subscription for a specified period uh and we did this by using the shade agent template um so in the demo you'll see from the merchant perspective the dashboard shows all of the customers subscribe to the different tiers that

54. 27:27

    the merchant offers uh highlighting the next expected Bill and date and whether the status is active past you or cancel uh and then from the customer perspective you can see all of the available plans that the merchant offers uh and select from a series of different payment periods you can then go to check out connect your Neo wallet and fill out all of the relevant details as well as selecting a maximum subscription duration and set if

55. 27:51

    you want to sit six six months as your maximum duration for subscription you can do uh the reason for this approach is that in the current crypto subscription models customers typically receive email reminders at the end of each subscription period or prompting them to manually renew uh or pre-approve and for set duration upfront which is inconvenient for managing subscriptions um so as you can see here we're going

56. 28:14

    through completing the subscription and then you'll be able to see the active subscription in the merchant dashboard which we're just put to now so then instead of requiring manual payments at the end of each subscription period Ping's shared agent will handle the renewals automatically to ensure there is compliance with the contractual subscription terms uh and require no further action from the customer other

57. 28:38

    than pausing or canceling the subscription and then as the renewal date approaches the shade agent will autonomously process the payment on behalf of the customer um so we're currently looking to improve the demo that you're seeing here from the hackathon fix some bugs and build on the current logic but uh what we do do currently is we provide an SDK for merchants to integrate their own sites uh for users to create

58. 29:03

    subscriptions additionally we're going to provide an SDK to create user dashboards giving them full control to cancel or suspend the subscriptions without relying on the merchant and respect the decision um the solution we see is completely gen generic allowing support for many Merchants to utilize it and simplify it for users to manage all of the subscriptions um and as you seen in the demo now there's just a little bit of a technical overview uh of

59. 29:28

    reoccurring payments I'll just do a quick two second through uh through that so for there's for five steps there's the subscription creation where the user approves the initial transaction creating the function call Access keypay which allows the contract to initiate the future payments um that public key is stored in the Custom Contract while the private key is stored in the trusted execution environment private storage um the access key may have an allowance

60. 29:53

    which would limit the amount of money uh able to pay for subscriptions which enables kind of an automatic expiry which doesn't really exist in current Solutions in web 2 um then the remaining steps are the shade agent monitors and triggers the payment uh operating in The Trusted execution environment so it checks periodically for the upcoming renewals it verifies if the user has sufficient funds and then triggers the

61. 30:15

    transaction using the key pay on the user's behalf uh and then updates the subscription status uh in the smart contract marking it is renewed and then sets the next bill and date kind of keeping that recurrent payments going um and then in terms of cancellation and management users and uh providers of subscriptions can cancel the subscriptions via the SM contract um and no further payments would be deducted

62. 30:39

    from the user uh until the end and they would have access until the end of the current subscription cycle uh so yeah that's kind of a quick run through of the submission we're really looking forward to kind of building this out further for both reoccurring payments but also General single use payments for merchants users and communities thanks thank you Jay and I believe that shap

63. 31:01

    agents were uh initially shaped shaped by proximity so maybe Kendall you have some advice for Jay yeah it's definitely an interesting way to handle subscriptions which are obviously always a a kind of complicated thing for um for crypto based payments um yeah I mean I I think like the key for for that especially for appealing to the web 2 audience is is um you know thinking about on and off ramps and how to just like abtract away as much of the

64. 31:33

    kind of crypto side of things as possible and like really highlight what some the advantages are which I think you guys are doing uh so yeah definitely interesting mainly just I think figuring out who the uh early adopters are going to be is is key but yeah it's definitely a fascinating solution um very very cool awesome thanks Kendall thank you Kendall uh Nate Slava do you have any comments for

65. 31:55

    Jay pretty neat I it uses near pretty pretty heavily the allowance so it would be kind of like a a debit card where you fund you create an agent and then you send funds to it and it automatically just spits out to all your connected uh payments and then uh is that how that works yeah so there's kind of a few different um like further use cases that I see available from it um saving accounts being one um and then like automated direct debits um

66. 32:26

    essentially kind of just appren that I want to send this person5 pound per month or $5 or whatever currency you want you want to go with and then that would happen until you want to do it so I think that's kind of good for reoccurring payments to friends or family um as well kind of could be used as a cool on boarding tool and then peer top Commerce as well I think it's also awesome for that and this thing is just running in the te just executing uh on the per month basis on whatever you do

67. 32:51

    how close is it to um is it could it be main net right now or is it still still in testing mode uh so myself and Elliot are definitely going to do some tweaks and try and get things done as soon as we possibly can uh there's definitely a few bugs that we need to IR out and just make sure it's all kind of wrapped out really nicely for an end user experience but yeah kind of excited to kind of start shipping that soon yeah good idea uh and who would be your first customer

68. 33:17

    I guess within the near ecosystem because I'm assuming that those would be the yeah I think there's a there's a there's a lot of um good options I think I I see it as opening up a nice Revenue model for a lot of the AI teams if anyone wanted to start doing like subscription usage for um any of their models or anything like that um and then there's like Community initiatives with like uh monthly subscriptions for like different merch drops and things like

69. 33:40

    that from the likes of black dragon community that sort of thing I think would be a nice a nice first roll up cool thank you Nate thank you Jay uh Slava do you have any any comments any advice I see just a really good and uh like prominent uh how how to say like usefulness of this project overall and like it's really nice pretty practical product I see big perspective in using it in terms of like

70. 34:14

    subscription service for any dep on near and as well Aurora it possibly could also be done for like utal chains via cross contract call Communications Etc so so yeah it it looks good I like it thank you Sala yeah we're definitely looking to kind of use near intents to potentially offer it like cross chain to pay with any currency for subscriptions too so definitely something we're looking

71. 34:43

    at uh thank you so much Jay and we're moving on to our next project AI agents uh in need of escrow vmer hi guys are you with us hi I am so let's go into your demo sure happy to drive that all right my project is named AI agents for necrow platform so during this hackaton uh I have implemented uh two AI agents first agent is compliance validation agent and second is dispute resolution agent uh they are very needed for my needo asro project uh I have

72. 35:21

    developed API on top of AI agents so the communication with them is more convenient and also this API has been integrated in this need of escro project a few words about uh this need of escro project uh this is a webbased platform designed for secure online collaboration it is powered by near protocol blockchain and it functions as an escrow service holding deposits and releasing them once specified conditions are met and AI agents are needed here in two

73. 35:51

    places the first place is dispute resolution process disput res resolution ution agent helps uh the admin with resolving the dispute it helps with providing its own dispute resolution opinion and further clarifications and another place is Task creation process this is um where compliance validator agent helps with natural language processing of the task name and task description so the task content is validated um according to platform compliance

74. 36:23

    rules and now we will get uh we will jump into the demo first we will see how dispute resolution process looks like we can see a task name and task description here uh we can also see the task is under disput resolution process and there are comments from task owner and task contractor at the bottom of this page and the goal here is to pick up the right resolution percentage the admin of course can do that on his own or or use the help of AI agent AI agent will take

75. 36:55

    the task name task description dispute resolution comments and will provide its opinion about resolution percentage okay let's see what this agent responds with it thinks that 70% is a reasonable resolution that's fine and also admin can talk to this AI agent to clarify this resolution further and the next place where AI agent is needed here is Task creation process a natural language processing of

76. 37:27

    task name and task description blocks creation of the tasks which V violate the platform compliance rules so here I'm trying to create a task which involves some kind of harm to animals let's see what what AI agent responds with and we see that it actually blocks this task creation so this is it from my side thanks a lot for having me today and thanks a lot for such a great opportunity to try develop uh something with near AI

77. 38:01

    agents thank you Vader um I'm I'm just reading your your page and Dev post about this project and there is a prompt that asks how we built it and you said easily uh was that your your experience with near AI the thing is that uh I I am not using some kind of cross chain communication or something like that these are simple prompts here but um the main thing I'm using from this AI agent

78. 38:26

    is that they are isolated so my tasks and task description will not spread into I don't know different areas and maybe other people can see that tasks name and description could be under NDA so this is quite important here and uh yeah but other than that this is mostly Web Two stack rather than web three thank you thank you for the answer uh need candle fla do you have any comments or advice for

79. 38:58

    oh start with Nate oh I don't I haven't dove into this one enough to really give give too much input sorry all right then maybe Kendall lava have some input if you do yeah we have Kendall yeah I mean I think this idea is really powerful uh kind of using AI to uh imediate disputes um yeah we were talking to uh yeah like the I know like the the Uma team who obviously plays a big role in this broadly the crypto space is very interested in the concept

80. 39:29

    I think the big thing to figure out is well two two fold one is like helping users gain trust in in models to mediate disputes I think yeah starting starting with like kind of more minor disputes is probably a good way to like things that where speed and just an absolute decision are more important than like absolute absolute correctness I think is like a good potential approach so like building up a confidence there and then

81. 39:52

    obviously get you know making the model giving the models enough context um to actually be truly correct because I do think there's yeah there's an interesting future where many many disputes will be mediated by AI probably they'll always be something that's like kicked up to humans if it's like super you know like vague and like kind of more of a discussion of like broader morals but yeah no super powerful I think yeah there's there's I mean I'd love to see this in production for for

82. 40:16

    some things like very very quickly because it's I think like it's clearly where you know where things are going thanks thank you Kendall Slava do you have a couple of words for V I can kind of continue the thought kandle was um saying that like it could be really interesting like to focus on some kind of uh particular type of tasks and uh in terms of like the ring and blockchain I

83. 40:43

    was thinking about support like maybe you know how good uh the support ticket was closed and uh maybe given some points instead of real money to like gamify I don't know Discord support server for near or Aurora something like that it's just like on the level of idea but could sound really cool by using the that agent and that these models yep that's great idea actually about support yep I'll take it into attention thanks you thank you thank you everyone at this

84. 41:15

    point we will wrap up the project showcase and do a micro mini panel with our judges because everyone who is present on this call uh Nate candle and Slava all of them have judged submission for their own bounties so I would like to hear uh your opinion what was what was built uh what did you like what did you probably not liked very much and some advice for the hackers who won the second maybe didn't win but they want to

85. 41:40

    keep building how to turn the haon project into an actual startup so let's start with Nate uh share some of your interesting outcomes from from this heon how did you judge your Bounty and what interesting project did you encounter our biggest aha moment is that we didn't help a lot of the devs to do what they did I think we had 18 uh of the top 40 submissions and probably 10 like good

86. 42:05

    projects that we were able to mess around with and actually uh test ourselves and so I mean it was just really nice to see people figuring out the system without needing to do handholding so that's a that's a pretty big signal to say okay we're on we're on the right track that the onboarding process isn't incredibly painful that people can build agents another neat thing is people took it way further than we thought we had just announced this

87. 42:30

    embeddable chat system probably I don't know like a week after uh right before it was about to come and uh two of the projects went that step like cool F embedded uh near intense into their own web page uh seeing those things kind of taking it the extra step as we're building and shipping things they just take that new stuff and throw it in and it's uh it's it's neat to have folks mess around with uh with all the things that we're we're shipping so and just

88. 43:02

    such a wide variety of submissions literally Bitcoin someone created SATs Slinger which was the uh if you fund a Bitcoin account uh then it will tweet uh to people uh as long as you tag them with certain uh hashtags and it will actually tweet to them as long as there's Bitcoin into an NPC account that they can claim their tokens uh fascinating uh and and then again seeing the uh what is it the BET Vex uh Owen built this thing where he could do this whole betting system and it really shows

89. 43:36

    the power of no longer needing forms you know having to input forms right you're having conversations with applications now it's not here's a input for this input for that input for that it's more of I don't know how to bet show me the leaderboard what did the last person bet okay copy that exact same bet that that last person did and then you know put five 500 bucks on that bet uh it just

90. 44:00

    we're getting to this new uh point where we're going to start seeing there's no need for like just how many crazy things we can do when you just open up uh what AI can do for us all right so if you if you have if you had to give just one advice for people who want to keep building what should they look into what should they do to become a startup oh becoming a startup is the most brutal thing in human can probably go through one of one of the few uh there's a lot of other brutal things but

91. 44:32

    when you start a company at the end of it it probably won't be your same idea uh you just you just crank you believe in a long-term vision and you just go with the flow and it's uh you just grit is probably the most important element of making a startup a reality if you don't have grit it's not going to go anywhere there's no magic no one's going to help you uh you just have to believe in yourself and keep cranking so uh if

92. 44:56

    if you if you have that then go go go push thank you so much um and and obvious they taking this from an actual company owner I think it's it's a very very valuable advice uh so we are moving on to uh Kendall any interesting submissions uh for your Bounty what what did you what did you like the most which one yeah well it was uh it was very cool I mean I think we're we're just super excited about expanding what people can actually

93. 45:29

    do with Bitcoin I mean Bitcoin is the most important crypto asset and I think it's extremely underutilized so is really cool to see uh you know yeah teams like uh you know like the like the Bitcoin Bitcoin agent um like the SAT singer and and there were a couple others as well um which is really exciting you know I think yeah teams should really think about like what what can we enable people to do with their Bitcoin now that we can make it much

94. 45:51

    easier to use and also cheaper to use right it's like what's cool about you know the NPC Tech is that you can uh you can actually send you can transfer the ownership of a lot of Bitcoin without having to touch the Bitcoin L1 in a way that's potentially a bit more programmable and interesting than some of the other Solutions out there so uh definitely recommend teams you know look more into that um yeah I think as as far as you know uh what to do next something

95. 46:16

    so we released uh the shade agent uh kind of content pretty late into the hackathon so it was really cool to see a few teams pick that up like Ping P um but obviously it came it did come pretty late just to get a very short recap on like what it is and why it's interesting it really is basically about just making your the entirety of your agent codebase both fully auditable uh verifiable and

96. 46:37

    then um also just enabling other any number of participants to actually run your agent in a verifiable way uh which is I think one of the key aspects to making agents Unstoppable um I think what the the use cases and why it's interesting is you can uh think about ways that you can actually embed an agent very directly and deeply in kind of a crypto protocol like you know imagine if you took a and it was agents who are actually making all the decisions of a instead of instead of people um whether or not that's a good

97. 47:10

    idea today is is as a matter for discussion but uh that's clearly where things are going and I think shade agents you know enable that in a in a prettying way so I advise people to kind of think about how that could work out um as far as making companies a business I mean I think Nate gave some incredibly Sage advice there obviously you know coming from a place of here as wisdom so I I encourage everyone to take what he said to heart um and then you know just to extend on that a little bit on the

98. 47:35

    kind of like the product side is like you solve problems I mean I think we there's a lot of really cool agent demos out there um I think some of the the groups here are built have actually started to really solve problems but yeah make sure your agents need to be useful and they need to actually do things I think that's like when you know we're going to see really valuable companies spelled on top of this is like

99. 47:52

    agents that actually do things solve real world problems in in ways that were impossible to do before for uh so encourage everyone to you know think about that thank you so much Kendall Sage advice right there so Slava uh what did you like the most about the submissions for Aurora that's that's interesting question uh probably like I have my favorites I have my favorites here and actually like my favorite

100. 48:22

     submission hasn't won hasn't won a prize unfortunately I mean the first three prices even the Aurora price or we got we got yeah we got them like not on the first three places because uh the idea was like super super idea really good one but uh unfortunately the team have hasn't developed enough like smart contracts and haven't done enough solidity development and because of that we just couldn't give them anything in

101. 48:53

     terms of like uh the main prizes but but we have given them some money like to prosper that idea further we just had a call with uh that girl uh who was which was working on that idea and basically what she had there was like a competitive Battleground for AI agents so basically every AI agent it's like a character these different like RPG like characteristics I mean like agility maybe strength something like that maybe some magic powers maybe some spells so

102. 49:31

     there is like a set of actions that agent can do there some actually like how it's called like fractions or like clans of AI agents which kind of fighting in between and you kind of is an observer observer in a battlefield where these agents are fighting and you can do bats you can put some money to improve some Clans so it could be really interesting mechanics in terms of like

103. 50:02

     gaming experience and getting involved or just like you know just having a Content being generated by his form of agent fighting between themselves so like the the the idea was really good and we hope that in the future we'll see something from them um but unfortunately she probably just hasn't enough time to work on the project during the hackaton and that's why it wasn't like evolved into the final

104. 50:33

     project talking about our I just I just have a a question because I I hate to interrupt but maybe Aurora will have on that that uh this par particular participant could uh submit to if she has enough time of course of course of course like we are stay which ones where when where where should we follow follow your announcements what what uh where should we follow your announcements or maybe you have something particular in mind on Twitter like the best way to follow us you just

105. 51:05

     go to Twitter aora is near and follow us there we also have the telegram Channel and you can follow up on the Discord but like probably the main the main way to follow us is like x.com or is near all right so any advice on how to actually turn the heon submissions into a proper company like I I don't know about the Practical side as uh good as uh previous judges uh but uh in terms of like just pure reasoning I believe that like you just need to be

106. 51:43

     focused uh and also ready maybe to Pivot and maybe change something in your product to be more suitable to the market conditions you know because it's like waves sometimes uh like something about AI is coming sometimes something about defy sometimes you need to combine so it's like you need to be flexible and solving the real problems of real people and of course like finding support and by support I mean Investments like maybe incubation programs which can help your project

107. 52:23

     grow and uh succeed in the future thank you Slava solid advice and I think of all all three judges presenting uh Nate was the only one company owner he pretty much said that this a brutal business and don't I would encourage you to actually try again um and and maybe join one of the upcoming heatons maybe uh proximity will organize something maybe Aurora will organize something but we are already organizing something there is a heon ongoing zcash

108. 52:54

     X near intense heon it's also dedicated to autonomous agents we already have uh 76 participants right uh competing for uh 70k um price pool uh we already have our first submission so if you have a taai account you can actually log in register for the heck and take a look at what people are building it's pretty interesting so um if if you missed this opportunity 1,000 uh 1 trillion autonomous ages Heck on or maybe you have some fresh ideas that you would like to try

109. 53:27

     uh join this heon we would be super thrilled and excited to see more of your submissions because it's always super interested to be uh on on the age of of uh exploration in Tech uh we know that AI is the next Frontier so let's keep building it together and thank you so much for joining us today tonight this morning uh Nate wants to say one less thing and so we're g to we're going to let them I guess uh also I want to say

110. 53:57

     thanks to the vax folks uh they're a uh defi uh liquidity pool system up and coming on year uh they built a really neat engine too so I wanted to give them props as well uh really interesting agent that will be going uh will be getting verified uh shortly and they had a nice Bounty as well so good job vax let's let's get it going thanks it's actually yeah it's a old one because this was the sponsor that that's joined

111. 54:21

     much later than the main badge and and then we saw some amazing submissions so thank you for everyone who supported one ases heon thank you for everyone who keeps building a new ecosystem and thank you to the winners who joined us and and red it and decided to present their projects live and and I really hope that you receive some valuable feedback that you will take home and and keep building uh so that was hackbook uh

112. 54:47

     thank you so much for hacking with us and next time
