Our project won 2 prizes during the ETHGlobal Agentic Ethereum hackathon! 🎉

This two-week hackathon was an amazing experience for my teammate @zouzie and me. We had tons of fun, pushed our limits once again, and learned so much together. 🔥

This was the 2nd biggest ETHGlobal hackathon in terms of submissions (1,710 hackers for 518 projects), so even though we were very proud of our project, we felt our chances of standing out were quite low.

We are extremely grateful that two of the companies sponsoring the event chose our project among all these amazing builds. I'd like to extend a big thank you to AltLayer and @coinbase ! ♥️

Hi, I’ m a developer looking for fun 🐉

An agent is simply a system that can understand data input, pick the right tool (which can be anything from an external API to a computing method) based on context, and understand and use the result to call another tool or to provide a result if its goal is achieved. 🎯

For us, most of the value in agents operating with blockchains lies in the time they can save us - that's it.

With a two-week building scope, we decided to tackle one time-consuming aspect of DeFi: whale tracking. So we built Whal-E. 🐋

Whal-E actively discovers new whale wallets, evaluates their trading performance, and maintains a curated list of high-performing traders. When these tracked whales execute trades, it analyzes multiple factors including portfolio composition, market data, and relevant news to determine if the trade should be replicated.

For users who opt in, successful trades are automatically executed across their connected wallets, with optimizations for each user's specific balance and conditions. 🚀

This experience opened such wonderful perspectives and ideas for my teammate and me, only growing our desire to build even more.

Huge congrats to all hackathon participants and winning projects! Thanks a lot for reading, see you at the next hackathon/build ! 😄

Agentic Ethereum was one of the first Blockchain/AI hackathons, and the goal was to explore how autonomous AI agents could revolutionize projects on Ethereum.

We observed that currently most ecosystem projects mixing AI and Web3 were chatbots with personalities posting about Web3 based on market context (or even stealing tweets and rephrasing them), which (imo) doesn't really help users or create value other than entertainment.

Our thinking was that DeFi is the best use case for autonomous behavior driven by context, to analyze, consume data, and make decisions.

Whether you're a seasoned trader or a newcomer looking for the next gem to invest in, you'll have to (or at least should) spend time reading, gathering data, analyzing and comparing data, and understanding current sentiment, narratives, and so on...

These are time-consuming tasks that we can delegate to an AI agent. 🤖
