Introducing AgentKit

We're excited to announce the launch of AgentKit, a powerful new framework that bridges the gap between AI and blockchain technology. As part of the Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP), AgentKit allows developers to create AI agents that can autonomously interact with blockchain networks, opening up new possibilities for automated, crypto-powered applications.

AgentKit represents a significant step forward in the integration of artificial intelligence with blockchain technology. This model-agnostic tool allows developers to build AI agents that can perform a wide range of onchain operations — from basic transactions to complex smart contract interactions.

Whether you're looking to deploy tokens, execute transfers, or perform token swaps, AgentKit provides the essential building blocks for autonomous blockchain interactions.

• Model Flexibility: AgentKit's model-agnostic design supports multiple LLM providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic's Claude, and Llama, giving developers the freedom to choose the AI model that best suits their needs.

• Built-in onchain functionality: Built on top of the Coinbase Developer Platform SDK, AgentKit provides native access to comprehensive blockchain functionality, ensuring reliable and secure onchain operations.

• Developer-First Approach: With an intuitive template structure, developers can quickly add custom capabilities to their agents while preserving clean, maintainable code.

• LangChain Compatibility: Full support for LangChain and its extensive community toolkits enables developers to leverage existing tools and frameworks in their projects.

We've enhanced the developer experience with AgentKit, making it dead simple to begin building. Developers can start either by using our provided Replit template for quick prototyping or by integrating AgentKit into existing projects through our LangChain integration. 

Our documentation has more information on how to get your agents up and running in less than 5 minutes.

With AgentKit, we're laying the groundwork for the future of applications. Imagine a builder ecosystem with AI agents that can:

• Automatically monitor and execute trades based on market conditions

• Deploy and manage smart contracts without human intervention

• Handle complex DeFi operations with intelligence and precision

• Integrate with existing APIs including social media, file managers, and even email accounts to streamline onchain and web2 operations

These features represent a fraction of what is possible for the future — the possibilities are endless.

AgentKit is more than just a tool — it's a step toward a future where AI fundamentally changes the way we interact with onchain technology and applications.
