TL;DR
- elizaOS is a powerful framework for building AI agents.
- Ankr lets agents learn from blockchain data and execute on-chain tasks autonomously.
- The possibilities are electric.
The AI arms race is on.
But the real battleground isn't just more advanced (artificial) brains; it's smarter AI assistants that can help pilot the course of our everyday pursuits. Tasks will range from the small, like booking trip tickets, to the not-so-small, like controlling a portfolio to stack your net worth. The future? AI agents plugged directly into the world's next-gen financial rails: blockchains.
Ankr and elizaOS have teamed up to outfit every AI agent with the ability to interact with an array of blockchains. Together, we’re building a future where AI and finance are closely integrated, and agents can trade, farm, and manage digital assets to carry out their owner’s objectives.
“AI agents will become the primary way we interact with computers in the future. They will be able to understand our needs and preferences, and proactively help us with tasks and decision-making.”
– Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft
Meet ElizaOS: A Platform To Create and Manage AI Agents
ElizaOS is a powerful multi-agent simulation framework designed to create, deploy, and manage autonomous AI agents. Built with TypeScript, it provides a flexible and extensible platform for developing intelligent agents that can interact across multiple platforms while maintaining consistent personalities and knowledge.
Agents built with the ElizaOS framework are the core components that handle autonomous interactions. Each agent operates within a runtime environment and can interact across various platforms, such as Discord and Telegram while maintaining consistent behavior and memory.
Agents are designed with unique identities, configurations, and components that developers can define to tweak their personalities and capabilities. They can perform actions, evaluate responses, and integrate with different services, allowing for flexible and extensible conversations. Additionally, specialized memory management enables agents to track conversations and adapt their responses based on context.
Integration With Ankr’s APIs Gives Eliza Agents Full Web3 Capabilities
Ankr's blockchain APIs, integrated within the elizaOS framework, empower developers to rapidly prototype and deploy AI agents capable of executing an array of blockchain and crypto-related tasks.
By plugging Ankr’s pre-built API connections into elizaOS's modular library, developers gain immediate access to blockchain data, including token balances, gas price predictors, NFT data, and all other critical data. This seamless integration eliminates the need for extensive custom coding, drastically accelerating the agent development process. Ankr’s Advanced API also provides access to indexed historical chain data, enabling developers to train their AI agents on real-world market dynamics like MEV patterns and liquidity trends.
Integrating Advanced API for agent training and operations allows them to learn and optimize their strategies for maximum effectiveness with:
- The ability to query once and receive data across a variety of networks
- Search pre-indexed, cached data for near-instant data returns
- Reach globally located bare-metal servers for low-latency

Combining Ankr's APIs and elizaOS streamlines the entire agent lifecycle, from development to deployment. After training, these sophisticated AI agents can be deployed with a full connection to Ankr's global node network. This simplified deployment process and access to Ankr's extensive network of over 70 blockchains through elizaOS's unified interface dramatically reduce the time required to build cross-chain AI agents. Instead of weeks of development, developers can create and deploy new agents in mere hours, unlocking new possibilities for automated blockchain interactions and strategic crypto operations.
Powering Futuristic Applications For Anything AI-Fi
Giving AI agents the power to connect with blockchain ecosystems creates an opportunity to build truly innovative use cases that push the boundaries of what is possible for decentralized finance. Here are just a few examples of use cases that will be springing up soon.
AI Agent-Driven DeFi
Imagine using elizaOS to deploy an AI agent to autonomously optimize your cross-chain yield farming strategies.
Here’s How It Works:
- The Agent uses Ankr’s Multi-Chain RPC to monitor real-time asset prices, liquidity pools (via Ankr’s DeFi APIs), and staking yields across Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain.
- Agents analyze the data with embedded LLMs (in elizaOS) to identify arbitrage opportunities (e.g., price discrepancies between DEXs).
- With automatic gas fee optimization, the agent can execute trades via Ankr’s transaction endpoints.
Value For Users:
- Fully automated multi-chain yield farming with AI-driven risk and rebalancing logic.
- 24/7 execution without manual intervention.
Autonomous NFT Portfolio Management
Imagine deploying an AI agent to manage your NFT collections by tracking floor prices, rarity shifts, and market trends.
Here’s How It Works:
- Ankr NFT API + Eliza’s Decision Engine:
- Agents pull NFT metadata, ownership history, and sales data via Ankr’s NFT API (Ethereum, Polygon, etc.).
- Agents use Eliza’s reinforcement learning models to predict NFT value trends.
- They auto-list and acquire NFTs through Ankr’s RPC endpoints (e.g., triggering OpenSea listings when target prices are met).
Value For Users:
- AI-curated NFT portfolios with dynamic rebalancing.
- Real-time alerts for rare NFT drops or wash trading patterns.
Compliance Agent for Institutions
Imagine if institutions could enlist AI agents to audit transactions, screen addresses, and ensure regulatory compliance.
Integration:
- Ankr Scan + Eliza’s Risk Modeling:
- Agents ingest transaction data via Ankr Scan API to trace fund flows across chains.
- Cross-reference addresses with Ankr-integrated compliance tools (e.g., TRM Labs API).
- Eliza’s agents generate compliance reports and flag suspicious patterns (e.g., mixers, darknet ties).
Value For Users:
- Automated, auditable compliance workflows for institutions.
- Real-time risk scoring of transactions.
Final Thoughts
AI agents will quickly become a vital extension of what we are capable of as individuals, businesses, and organizations. If personal computers create a “bicycle for the mind,” AI agents will become a jet pack for human agency – magnifying our potential to impose our influence on the world many times over. Giving AI agents full crypto and blockchain capabilities frees us to automate our ability to transact, grow wealth, collaborate, and much more. Our teams are working hard to explore the boundaries of what we can do with it next.
