On a lively weekend, the market is fluctuating, and those who are fully aware of the volatile market conditions are not just the CEX users holding old coins; even the on-chain Meme players can somewhat feel the emotional shifts in the market.
Some projects are also taking advantage of the window period for market consensus recovery to release new positive news, seizing market attention and liquidity.
Do you remember the leading project SEND from the Solana Blink track? That project was passionately retweeted by Solana bigwigs, surged after issuing hundreds of thousands of NFTs, and then gradually disappeared from the market's view due to poor token operations. We previously provided a detailed introduction to the SEND project, see the article from ShenChao: Can $SEND, centered around Solana Blink, replicate the glory of $DEGEN?
Yes, this big-eyed SEND is also getting into AI, directly targeting the recent booming AI infrastructure sector.
On December 21, the SEND account SendAI (@sendaifun) announced the launch of the Solana-based AI Agent open-source toolkit, Solana Agent Kit, which helps any model's AI Agent quickly execute various operations on the Solana chain.
Once the tweet was released, numerous big names shared it, and the official Solana account along with Solana co-founder Toly also passionately retweeted it.
With the luxurious lineup of Solana All-Stars, the value of the Solana Agent Kit goes without saying. The official token price of SEND, $SEND, also surged dramatically, with its market capitalization rising from $20 million to nearly $175 million in less than 2 hours.
After this round of operations, the Solana Agent Kit, which has both substance and style, is destined to become a hot topic during this period. We reviewed the technical documentation of the Solana Agent Kit to see what highlights this powerful AI Agent toolkit has to offer.
Note: The prices of Meme tokens are highly volatile and carry significant risks. Investors should fully assess risks and participate cautiously.

Making on-chain operations of AI Agents more human-like
In simple terms, as an open-source toolkit, the core goal of the Solana Agent Kit is to enable any AI Agent to easily access the Solana ecosystem and operate various protocols within it. From a technical perspective, it acts like a unified interface layer, allowing AI to autonomously execute over 15 core blockchain operations.
Connecting the infrastructure layer
In terms of basic blockchain operations, the Solana Agent Kit primarily addresses the issue of token management.
Through deep integration with the Metaplex protocol, AI Agents can autonomously complete basic operations such as deploying and issuing SPL tokens, transferring, and checking balances (yes, it can issue Pumps). Furthermore, the team has made significant innovations in the airdrop mechanism, greatly reducing the cost threshold for airdrops by integrating Light Protocol and Helius's ZK compression technology, enabling high-efficiency airdrops.
In the NFT field, the toolkit provides a complete solution through Metaplex. From deploying NFT series, minting individual NFTs, to metadata management and royalty configuration, AI Agents can handle it all with ease. This means that creators can let AI automate the management of the entire lifecycle of an NFT project.
Seamless integration of the DeFi ecosystem
In terms of integrating the DeFi ecosystem, the Solana Agent Kit has done quite comprehensively. It not only connects to the Jupiter Exchange aggregation trading platform but also deeply integrates several of the most important DEXs in the Solana ecosystem (Raydium, Orca, Meteora). Through the Solana Agent Kit, AI Agents can create different types of liquidity pools on Raydium, conduct efficient token swaps in Orca's whirlpool pools, and even operate Meteora's DLMM and Alpha Vault.
Furthermore, the toolkit also supports creating new trading markets on Openbook, handling SNS domain name registration and resolution, and utilizing Jito Bundles for more complex on-chain operations.
The integration of these features allows AI Agents, who do not understand DeFi, to act like professional DeFi veterans and execute various Degen operations.
Deep release of AI capabilities
In terms of AI integration, the Solana Agent Kit uses LangChain as its underlying framework, which gives the toolkit powerful context understanding capabilities.
AI Agents can continuously track and remember interaction history with users, providing a more coherent service experience. The system supports two operational modes: one is an interactive chat mode, suitable for scenarios requiring human guidance; the other is a fully autonomous operation mode, where the AI can independently execute tasks based on preset rules.
The toolkit also integrates image generation tools like DALL-E, allowing AI Agents not only to handle on-chain operations but also to autonomously create NFT artworks. With built-in price prediction tools, AI agents can analyze market dynamics in real-time and make corresponding trading decisions.
Featured functions and innovative highlights
An important feature of the Solana Agent Kit is its support for SEND's traditional service, Solana Blinks. AI Agents can easily use Lulo's lending services, participate in Send Arcade's gaming ecosystem, and even manage JupSOL's staking operations. This combination of features enables AI agents to play a more diverse role in the Solana ecosystem.
The toolkit has also made sufficient considerations for error handling and recovery mechanisms. When on-chain operations encounter anomalies, the system can automatically attempt recovery to ensure continuous operation of the AI Agent.
Summary
Over the past two years, the narrative of 'AI + Crypto' has gradually solidified market consensus. From pure hype to now having AI Agents deployed in the crypto world, there are gradually some grounded application narratives. Currently, the AI direction has almost become the first choice for crypto project transformation.
The market witnesses the gradual development of the AI sector with real money, and more projects are choosing to contribute to the AI field. Nowadays, many reputable AI projects from the Web2 domain have entered Web3, and projects like the Solana Agent Kit are continuously bridging AI and Web3. The voices claiming 'Crypto AI is a false demand' seem to have gradually diminished.
However, it is undeniable that the current market's attitude towards the AI sector has shifted primarily due to the crazy price surges of leading assets, resulting in a remarkable wealth effect. As retail investors participate in the market following the consensus, they must pay attention to various risks and invest cautiously.
