Empowering ICP with AI: How the Community Can Boost Eliza’s Capabilities

Eliza, a fast and lightweight AI agent framework developed by ai16z DAO, has been making waves in the Web3 ecosystem. With its potential to deploy autonomous AI agents across platforms like Twitter, Discord, and Telegram, Eliza has already demonstrated its utility in the rapidly evolving decentralised landscape. However, to truly capitalise on its potential, there’s a need for more tools, plugins, and integrations to further enhance its capabilities—especially in the context of the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP).

ai16z DAO, with its growing influence in the Web3 space, has attracted hundreds of contributors and amassed a multi-billion dollar market cap. This success comes from its community-driven ethos, and as Eliza continues to evolve, it’s clear that the ICP ecosystem has the potential to play a central role in that growth. But what does the future look like for autonomous AI agents like Eliza within ICP?

This post is designed to open a conversation among the ICP community, asking for ideas on how to enhance the tools that can interact with AI agents. What functionalities would the community like to see, and how can we contribute to accelerating the development of AI agents within ICP?

Expanding AI Agent Capabilities on ICP

The existing capabilities of Eliza are impressive but limited to a few popular platforms, such as Twitter and Discord. To unlock the full potential of this AI agent framework, it’s essential that we look at expanding its capabilities beyond those platforms and into the unique opportunities that ICP offers.

One example of innovation already taking place is the PickPump team’s creation of a plugin that allows Eliza to auto-generate a meme token on the PickPump platform. This represents just one of many ways in which Eliza could be extended to interact with the ICP ecosystem. But the possibilities are vast, and there are a number of ways Eliza can be adapted to serve more diverse functions.

Here are a few ideas that could push the boundaries of what Eliza, or any autonomous agent, can do on ICP:

Deploying Eliza to ICP Canisters
One significant way to enhance Eliza’s reach would be to allow it to deploy directly to ICP canisters, rather than restricting its use to social media platforms like Twitter, Discord, or Telegram. This would require the development of a new ICP client package within the Eliza framework, but it would open up a whole new world of possibilities. For example, an autonomous agent could deploy itself to a canister to perform specific functions, such as handling transactions, interacting with the Internet Computer blockchain, or running decentralised applications (dApps) without relying on third-party platforms.

This could also enable the use of AI agents within ICP-based smart contracts and decentralised services, bringing the AI-powered features of Eliza directly into the ICP ecosystem. By incorporating ICP as a deployment option, the framework could allow for a much more flexible and powerful set of tools for users, developers, and organisations operating on ICP.

Trading Plugin
AI-powered trading is already a growing trend across multiple blockchains, and ICP is no exception. A Trading Plugin for Eliza could allow autonomous agents to execute trades on decentralised exchanges (DEXs) built on ICP, such as KongSwap, ICPSwap, ICPEx, or CakeMaker1. The idea is simple: when prompted, Eliza—or any autonomous agent—could perform a trade, executing buy/sell actions and strategies based on market conditions, pre-set criteria, or even user preferences.

The creation of such a plugin would make it easier for users to interact with the growing ICP DeFi ecosystem while also adding another layer of automation for traders. By incorporating trading functionality directly into the Eliza framework, autonomous agents could help users maximise their opportunities in the decentralised finance space.

Chain Fusion Plugin
One of the core functionalities of ICP is its ability to interact with other blockchains and enable cross-chain communication. A Chain Fusion Plugin could take this a step further by allowing Eliza to perform advanced cryptographic operations, such as creating an ICP canister, generating ECDSA and Schnorr keys, and even signing transactions.

This would be useful for developers and businesses looking to build on ICP while also interacting with other blockchains. The plugin could enable seamless transactions and communication between ICP and other networks, allowing Eliza to act as a bridge or intermediary between different chains. The Chain Fusion Plugin could thus enhance the flexibility and power of Eliza as a tool for the entire ICP ecosystem.

Verifiable Credentials Plugin
The concept of verifiable credentials is becoming increasingly important, particularly within the Web3 space. A Verifiable Credentials Plugin for Eliza could allow autonomous agents to request certified credentials for a given user from an issuer. This could be especially useful in scenarios where trust and identity verification are required, such as when interacting with decentralised applications, dApps, or NFT platforms on ICP.

Additionally, this plugin could even enable Eliza to issue credentials itself, providing an automated way to verify and authenticate users without requiring manual intervention. Such a feature would be invaluable in the context of decentralised identity systems and could streamline many of the processes involved in identity management on ICP.

SNS or NNS Plugin
Another useful plugin would be one that allows Eliza to interact with the Internet Computer’s decentralised governance system, the Network Nervous System (NNS), or its Social Nervous System (SNS). Eliza could perform operations like voting on proposals, following neurons, or even participating in other governance-related activities on behalf of a user.

This would create an interesting opportunity for users to engage with the decentralised governance structures of ICP through AI agents, helping to automate some of the more mundane tasks associated with governance participation while also providing an opportunity to increase user engagement. By streamlining participation, Eliza could help to empower more people to take part in the governance of the ICP ecosystem.

Additional Ideas and Community Input

These are just a few ideas for how autonomous AI agents, particularly Eliza, could be expanded to create more powerful and effective tools for the ICP ecosystem. However, the beauty of decentralisation and community-driven projects is that there’s always room for new ideas and innovation.

The ICP community has an incredible opportunity to collaborate and create additional tools, plugins, and integrations that can further expand the functionalities of Eliza and similar AI frameworks. Whether it’s creating new ways for Eliza to interact with ICP canisters, enhancing its trading capabilities, or contributing to decentralised identity management, the possibilities are endless.

We encourage community members to share their thoughts, ideas, and suggestions in this thread. What features would you like to see implemented, and what tools would make autonomous AI agents more useful within the ICP ecosystem? The sky’s the limit for what we can build together.

If you’re interested in contributing or bringing an idea to life, don’t hesitate to reach out and get involved. The more tools and resources we can develop, the stronger and more innovative the ICP ecosystem will become.
