The Rise of AI Agents: Join Us at Agentic Ethereum

AI is everywhere! From CEOs to developers to content creators, everyone is buzzing about its transformative potential. Among the most talked-about applications is AI Agents. These autonomous systems perceive their environment, process information, and take actions to achieve specific goals, opening up exciting possibilities across industries.

However, most agents today are simple scripts with limited control over on-chain activities. Enter Warden Agent Kit, a groundbreaking tool that bridges the gap between on-chain and off-chain AI capabilities. This innovation empowers developers to create more dynamic, powerful, and functional AI agents.

We’re Excited to Announce Our Participation in Agentic Ethereum!

At Agentic Ethereum, developers will get exclusive access to the Warden Agent Kit, enabling them to build innovative AI agents for the first time. The hackathon kicks off on 31 January 2025 and runs through 14 February 2025. This is your chance to bring your ideas to life and compete for glory—and prizes!

Tracks to Suit Every Developer

Warden’s track in the hackathon is designed to cater to developers across experience levels. Here’s how it’s structured:

Track 1: For Developers New to Web3

This track is ideal for Web2 developers, especially those proficient in TypeScript, who want to dip their toes into the world of Web3. Participants will be equipped with the Warden Agent Kit, which includes LangChain capabilities, making it easier than ever to build and deploy agents. Additionally, developers can leverage pre-existing Warden templates to seamlessly integrate on-chain capabilities into their agents.

Track 2: For Experienced Web3 Developers

This track is tailored for seasoned Web3 developers with advanced Solidity skills. Participants will design custom business logic for their agents, showcasing their ability to create innovative on-chain solutions. This is an opportunity to push the boundaries of what’s possible in blockchain technology.
