How to talk to your wallet: Using onchain agents to understand and execute transactions with ease

Transcript

[Music] All right. Good to be here. Hi guys. So, my name is Sid Shaker. I'm here to talk to you a little bit about how you can begin talking to your wallet. So, uh, first a bit of background about myself.

I I've been building and working in crypto for over a decade now. I started a company in 2016 called uh token analyst where we were doing onchain analytics during the early days of Ethereum and uh we built that out and then we eventually got acquired by Coinbase in 2020 and I was leading the blockchain research team in Coinbase for over four and a half years and uh at the end of that period in the middle of last year um you know I kind of got frustrated a little bit with crypto as a whole because during my tenure just building in the space you know at at the core I realized you know crypto goes at its fundamentals is a pretty simple proposition which is transactions flowing between peer-to-peer uh in a decentralized open ledger. But around

this we've invented all of this complexity and jargon and and uh and and just uh impediments for end end users to interact on chain. We have had over a 100 different L1 and L2 blockchains over 500 million tokens deployed over the last couple of years. And all of this just serves to make the experience of interacting on chain a bit more of a hassle uh when a new user is coming in. And uh that was kind of the inspiration for us to start building uh Gina. So Gina uh just to give a brief intro the the the goal with GINA uh was to make interacting on chain a genuine delight uh and and a fun experience and keeping it very simple and uh at its core. What

is GINA? So, Gina is effectively a cross-chain wallet uh and an AI agent that's enabled within that wallet. So, it's effectively an AI enabled wallet where the agent has shared permissions uh within that wallet to execute transactions on your behalf. So, the agent itself, Gina, we've given her a lot of tooling and capabilities. One of the main tenants that she can actually uh perform really well on is uh what we call deep research where she has access to all of the crypto market data APIs. everything from high, low, close of every uh asset uh in the crypto universe as well as uh contextual news and and blockchain data sets as well. Uh and then of course she can also execute transactions. So this includes

everything from multiple tokens in one go across multiple chains, bridging, swapping, you name it. Uh she can do all of this with just a sentence that you can prompt her with. Um and uh today uh what I really wanted to focus on was uh in terms of in the spirit of a demo uh actually go through three real life users who've been using Gina day-to-day uh over the past few months uh and and just go through their use cases. They they vary in their complexity levels. So it's a fun one to just kind of uh go through how they've been using it. Uh so uh we'll start off with Ash 0x Ash. Uh he's uh 23 years old. He's a he's a full-time trader and turbo DGEN. uh his his portfolio consists of something like this where it's a constantly rotating

mix of assets that changes almost every day. He's consistently trying to keep on top of the latest uh assets that are launched. His homepage most of the time during his desktop looks something like this where he's on the homepage of pump.f fun and GMGN and other tools that are flashing indicators at him for new token launches and uh and uh and just just news that's coming up all the time. and his job, I mean, he his day-to-day workflow involves either a if he's on a desktop executing on an order book, setting limits and and quickly getting in and out of tokens or manually pasting contract addresses into his Telegram bot to uh execute. Uh, and with Ash, I mean, the workflow for him is dramatically changed with Gina where the first prompt

he does uh every morning is just show me the trending assets today. uh Gina kind of filters through effectively what is the front page of deck screener to get him a curated list of assets that are trending in terms of volume in terms of new buyers coming on chain uh and also filters for assets that are uh without the risk of any scams or fishing attempts as well. So she does that background work for him and his next step is effectively to prompt her to say get me exposure to all of these assets uh in equal proposition in in in equal proportions and uh she actually does that in the back end uh regardless of the chain he's not worried about what chain it's on what's the slippage amount whether he's protected from me all of that is handled on the back end by the

agent and uh Gina just does the execution for him uh so it's saving him a ton of clicks stress five different websites uh human error and and a bunch of other factors as well, just making his workflow a lot more efficient. Um, so Ash is one extreme example, but he's been using Gina daily over the past few months. Uh, another example is Charlie. So Charlie's a lawyer. He's 35 years old, based in London, and uh he's a full-time lawyer, but he he's been uh h having exposure to crypto for quite a few years. And his portfolio looks something like this. A bunch of layer 1 blockchains and uh stable coins as well.

uh not too risky, but uh he's consistently stressed over crypto and his his diet when it comes to crypto largely consists of CT scrolling Twitter whenever he has a spare minute during work and uh reading every crypto newsletter on his commutes uh consistently fretting over it. And he's messaged me several times asking about what's the latest in space, etc. trying to keep on top of it. Uh and with Gina um really uh he's connected his wallet uh and his assets he's put his assets into the Gina smart wallet and what he asks her every morning is just can you give me the any insights and relevant news related to my assets and my portfolio and uh she not only gives him the news but also um gives him a kind of overall composition in terms of where he should be looking at uh what sectors

does he have exposure to uh what other market context he should be aware of that's coming up whether that's related to token unlocks or just systematic uh trends that he should be aware of. That's kind of second order thinking from just the raw feed, information feed, and news that he's confirming that he's kind of consuming on a day-to-day basis. Gina's kind of doing the work for him as a kind of data analyst to help him out to actually analyze his own portfolio in more depth. And then when he was executing transactions, this was kind of his uh workflow day-to-day where he was trying to get yield on stable coins on a regular basis and was always hunting around for the best yields on chain. He would flip between the different networks on a regularly and then go to other chains and try to figure out where he can get the best

bang for his buck. And he was using a browser wallet where he even got fished once by clicking on a bad link and losing a bunch of money. uh his workflow with Gina is again very very different where he has a very simple prompt uh to ask for single-sided yields and Gina kind of searches through a list of over 16,000 pools across different chains and uh gives them a kind of curated list of blue chip yield options where the yield has been sustainable. It's it stayed uh similar for several months at a time and uh also very ultra traditional uh blue chip options where the the TVL is also extremely large. it's over several hundred million and uh the yield is also pretty sustainable as well. So uh the the the research process for him to

discover uh stable coin yields is also dramatically shortened uh and effectively taken that load off of his back. So Charlie's one example kind of in the middle tier of of complexity. Uh and then finally we come to an so uh an is a special case. She's like a 50 plus year old director at a trading firm in London and uh uh she actually came to our one of our real world events that we held uh a couple of months ago and uh she has a bit bit of Bitcoin on Coinbase uh not much exposure to the rest of the onchain universe and her her diet when it comes to crypto is is something like this where where from traditional news articles it's either the greatest thing since the internet or the worst scam uh in history. and uh and so she was uh obviously hesitant to take that next

step in uh exploring what's next after Bitcoin. And so so she came to our event and she actually did her first onchain transaction uh using Gina which was pretty surprising uh where the prompt she used was literally to spell out her exact situation. She didn't really have context into crypto overall at all. And so she literally just spelled it out saying, "Hey, I have some Bitcoin on Coinbase. I want to get exposure to a broad uh set of categories and and sectors within crypto. how can I do so? And uh and with a little bit more context, Gina effectively provided to her a first options that would be directly accessible to her uh traditional brokerages and index funds that she could get access to and then if she really wanted to take a deeper look on chain um how could she manually diversify into different categories and

what are kind of quote unquote safe assets within those categories with larger market caps and uh and and and here I think I I saw her actually go through this process where um she she was confused as to what these names and these tickers were. And so, uh, she kept going down, kept, uh, asking messages to Gina, and eventually she got a list of suggested follow-up questions where she could actually dig deeper and actually understand these categories for herself and get a 101 crypto 101 use case of like what exactly these categories mean, how do these assets play a role within them, so on and so forth. uh and yeah was pretty happy to get a person who had never interacted on chain actually do a transaction with their first transaction uh executed by an agent. Uh so yeah

what's next for us I mean currently Gina today by the numbers is uh we have over 2,500 users uh with uh just like Ash and and Charlie uh that have Gina wallets that have been triing Gina. They've sent over 200k messages to Gina in the past few months. We've just been live for a few months. We started earlier this year and uh uh Gina can execute transactions on eight over eight chains. We're continually adding more chains every every other week. And uh and yeah, we started out actually last year as one of the first agents on the social feed. So we were probably the first agent on the Farcaster social feed in middle of last year and people could tag ask ask Gina and she would respond to you. In fact, you can still do that today. If you tag

Gina on Farcaster, she'll respond to you right away. So the community there has been fantastic and uh they even give us feedback for what to build next. It's kind of guiding our road map in terms of trying to make Gina a little bit more agentic where you give her a pool of capital and you authorize it and then she can execute scheduled transactions based on flexible conditions. So effectively elevating the limit order that we have in crypto uh to a more broader category overall. Um, and uh, yeah, I mean, go today is live as a as a web app and as as a mini app as well on Forecaster and Coinbase Wallet. You guys can access it. And uh, I think yeah, the best way to get started is go to askgina.ai. You can sign in with any social method and uh, start talking to

your wallet, you know. Thank you. Fall [Music] before [Music]
