Building a Blockchain AI Agent in No Time with Coinbase’s AgentKit
Explore how AI and blockchain converge in the Coinbase Developer Platform, offering a glimpse into the future of crypto and defi.
After reading a job description on LinkedIn recently, I became super interested in having a look at the Coinbase Developer Platform. I hadn’t had a close look at it yet, but I’m very glad I did — especially when I saw the AI integration that’s well underway at the moment.
While they have a million things you can test out and fork already, I decided to start with the “AgentKit” because, clearly, the intersection of web3 and AI represents the most powerful early look into the future of blockchain, defi, web3, etc. that we have today.
To be frank, it blew my mind! So, let’s review this, shall we?
🚀Getting Started
They have some examples that use Replit (a cloud-based IDE), but I wanted to use my own local VS Code. So, I started by cloning the CDP AgentKit repo for Node.js. (I’ll pop most of the commands here as we go…)
git clone https://github.com/coinbase/cdp-agentkit-nodejs.git
