The AI Industry Is Betting on Open Weights
An open letter signed by 50 companies, from NVIDIA and Microsoft to Mistral and Hugging Face, urges Washington not to restrict open weight AI.
GOAT 🐐 (Great Onchain Agent Toolkit) is an open-source framework for adding blockchain tools such as wallets, being able to hold or trade tokens, or interacting with blockchain smart contracts, to your AI agent.
Problem:
Making agents perform onchain actions is tedious. The ecosystem is heavily fragmented, spanning 5+ popular agent development frameworks, multiple programming languages, and dozens of different blockchains and wallet architectures. For developers without blockchain expertise, finding clear instructions to perform simple actions - like sending USDC payments or placing Polymarket bets - is nearly impossible.
Solution:
GOAT solves this by providing an open-source, provider-agnostic framework that abstracts away all these combinations.
GOAT plugs into your agents tool calling capabilities adding all the functions your agent needs to interact with the blockchain.
High-level, here's how it works:
// ... Code to connect your wallet (e.g createWalletClient from viem)
const wallet = ...
const tools = getOnChainTools({
wallet: viem(wallet),
})
const wallet = ...
const tools = getOnChainTools({
wallet: viem(wallet),
plugins: [
sendETH(),
erc20({ tokens: [USDC, PEPE] }),
faucet(),
polymarket(),
// ...
],
})
// ... Code to connect your wallet (e.g createWalletClient from viem)
const wallet = ...
const tools = getOnChainTools({
wallet: viem(wallet),
plugins: [
sendETH(),
erc20({ tokens: [USDC, PEPE] }),
faucet(),
polymarket(),
// ...
],
})
// Vercel's AI SDK
const result = await generateText({
model: openai("gpt-4o-mini"),
tools: tools,
maxSteps: 5,
prompt: "Send 420 ETH to ohmygoat.eth",
});
