On a lively weekend, the market is sensing the fluctuations, and it's not just the CEX users holding old coins; even the on-chain meme players are somewhat aware of the emotional changes in the market.

Some projects have also seized the opportunity during the market's consensus recovery window to release new positive news, capturing market attention and liquidity.

Do you remember the top project SEND from the previous Solana Blink track? That project, which was passionately retweeted by Solana bigwigs, saw a surge in value after issuing hundreds of thousands of NFTs, only to gradually disappear from the market due to chaotic token operations. We have previously detailed the SEND project, see the Shenchao article: Can $SEND, centered around Solana Blink, replicate the glory of $DEGEN?

Yes, this big-eyed SEND is getting into AI as well, directly targeting the recently booming AI infrastructure track.

On December 21, the account SendAI (@sendaifun) under SEND announced the launch of the Solana Agent Kit, an open-source toolkit for AI Agents based on Solana, enabling any AI Agent model to quickly execute various operations on the Solana chain.

Once the tweet was posted, various bigwigs eagerly retweeted and spread the news, with the official Solana account and Solana co-founder Toly also passionately sharing the news.

With a luxurious lineup of Solana's all-star supporters, the value of Solana Agent Kit speaks for itself, and the price of SEND's official token $SEND skyrocketed, increasing its market value from $20 million to nearly $175 million in less than 2 hours.

With this operation, the Solana Agent Kit, which is both impressive and substantial, is destined to become a hot topic during this period. We reviewed the technical documentation of Solana Agent Kit to see what highlights this powerful AI Agent toolkit has.

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 like real people

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 and operate various protocols within the Solana ecosystem. From a technical perspective, it acts as a unified interface layer that allows AI to autonomously execute over 15 core blockchain operations.

Connection at the infrastructure layer

In terms of fundamental 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 querying balances (yes, it can pump). The team has also made significant innovations in the airdrop mechanism, drastically reducing the cost threshold for airdrops by integrating Light Protocol and Helius's ZK compression technology, achieving high-efficiency airdrops.

In the NFT field, the toolkit provides a complete solution through Metaplex. From deploying NFT series, minting individual NFTs, to managing metadata and royalty configurations, AI Agents can handle it all with ease. This means creators can automate the entire lifecycle of their NFT projects through AI management.

Seamless integration of the DeFi ecosystem

In terms of integration with the DeFi ecosystem, Solana Agent Kit has done quite comprehensively. Not only does it connect with the Jupiter Exchange aggregation trading platform, but it also deeply integrates several of the most important DEXs (Raydium, Orca, Meteora) in the Solana ecosystem. Through the Solana Agent Kit, AI Agents can create different types of liquidity pools on Raydium, conduct high-efficiency token swaps in Orca's whirlpool pools, and even operate Meteora's DLMM and Alpha Vault.

Furthermore, the toolkit also supports the creation of new trading markets on Openbook, handling the registration and resolution of SNS domain names, and utilizing Jito Bundles for more complex on-chain operations.

The integration of these functions allows AI Agents, who may not understand DeFi, to operate like seasoned DeFi experts and execute various Degen operations.

Deep release of AI capabilities

At the level of AI integration, the Solana Agent Kit adopts LangChain as its underlying framework, which gives the toolkit powerful contextual understanding capabilities.

AI Agents can continuously track and remember their 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 execute tasks independently 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

A significant feature of Solana Agent Kit is its support for SEND's traditional business, Solana Blinks. AI agents can easily utilize Lulo's lending services, participate in the Send Arcade gaming ecosystem, and even manage JupSOL's staking operations. This combination of functions allows AI agents to play a more diverse role within the Solana ecosystem.

The toolkit has also fully considered error handling and recovery mechanisms. When an abnormality occurs during on-chain operations, the system can automatically attempt recovery to ensure the continuous operation of AI Agents.

Summary

Over the past two years, the narrative of 'AI + Crypto' has gradually established market consensus. From simple hype to the present, AI Agents deployed in the crypto world are beginning to have some tangible applications, and the AI direction has almost become the first choice for crypto project transformations.

The market witnesses the step-by-step development of the AI track with real money, and more projects are choosing to contribute to the AI field. As of today, there are reputable AI projects from the Web2 field entering Web3, and projects like Solana Agent Kit continue to bridge AI and Web3. The voices claiming that 'crypto AI is a false demand' seem to be gradually diminishing.

However, it is undeniable that the current market's attitude towards the AI track has shifted largely due to the crazy price increases of top assets, resulting in a remarkable wealth effect. As retail investors, it is essential to be cautious about various risks and invest wisely while participating in the market alongside the consensus.
