Cortex Protocol
Cortex Protocol is a platform that enables AI agents to interact with blockchain networks in a decentralized manner. The protocol has two core components:
1. The Cortex Trading Agent
Prompt to trade. A generalized trading agent that allows users to execute crypto transaction through natural language prompts. Users prompt their desired end state and the agent executes on it.
Automated Intelligence
Access to any data source including on-chain, X, Arkham, protocol docs, Coingecko, DexScreener, etc. Making it the most powerful analyst that can also execute based on those signals instantly.
Automated Execution
Users can give programated instructions to the agent to execute trades based on any signal. Example: "Buy a basket of the top 10 AI coins on base and sell any coin that doubles in price"
2. The Cortex Agent Platform
Cortex's agent platform allows developers to permissionlessly deploy agents with on-chain capabilities. Each agent is built with its own data sources, on-chain constraints and objective function. Deploying new primitives, protocols and chains through an AI agent will be easier than building traditional front ends.
Some early task-specific agents:
Yield Farming Agent:
Autonomously takes unfarmed stables and farms the highest yielding pools between protocols the user approves. Suggests new high yielding pools learning from the users risk tolerance. Auto-compounds yield and rebalances between different pools across different chains depending on which has the highest yield.
Ethena agent:
Autonomously rebalances between different pools, optimising yield and sats based on the user's input of estimated sat valuation.
Alpha generator:
Ingests on-chain data, Arkham, Nascent, Kaito and other data sources, allowing users to create autonomous bots to trade based on signals (mindshare, holder movements, tweet mentions, etc)
Agent first deployments:
Chain Deployment:
Launch a new chain by training an agent on the new chain's architecture. Users can now interact with a new chain by simply talking to your chain-specific agent that fully understands the new ecosystem and can execute transactions for them.
Protocol Deployment:
Launch a new protocol by training an agent on the protocol docs and smart contract. Users can ask questions to learn about your protocol and directly transact with it.
The protocol is powered by the $CX token.
With Cortex Protocol, AI agents are the primary method for executing smart contracts, creating a decentralized economy where specialized agents can work together to perform complex financial operations and any type of interactions.
