Description

Ardent Research's AI Agent Blockchain Execution Platform, is a hosted execution layer that gives AI agents the ability to execute onchain actions autonomously and safely, without a human managing wallets, gas, or transaction signing at every step.

The problem is straightforward. AI agents today can reason, plan, and decide, but when it comes to actually doing something financial onchain, they hit a wall. Wallets require human management. Gas must be handled manually. Signing is not autonomous. The infrastructure the industry has built was designed for humans, not for software agents making decisions independently.

Ardent Research closes that gap with AI Agent Blockchain Execution Platform. The platform gives any AI agent, whether built on LangChain, Claude, ChatGPT, AutoGPT, or a custom pipeline, a deterministic ERC-4337 smart wallet, pre-flight transaction simulation before broadcast, multi-chain execution across Ethereum, Base, and Arbitrum, integrated payment handling, and full lifecycle tracking from intent to confirmed onchain transaction, all through a single REST API.

On Arbitrum specifically, Ardent Research is integrated with GMX V2, enabling AI agents to open, manage, and close leveraged perpetual positions purely from natural language commands. No ABI knowledge required. No calldata construction. The agent states its intent, the platform simulates the action, validates it, and executes it with the transaction hash returned as cryptographic confirmation.

The platform ships four developer integration interfaces: a zero-dependency CLI tool, an MCP Server that plugs Ardent Research directly into Claude Desktop, ChatGPT Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf, an OpenAPI 3.1 spec ready for any framework that consumes API schemas, and an Agent Playbook designed to load as a system prompt for any LLM agent with direct HTTP access.

Security is treated as a first-class primitive throughout. Signing keys are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Every execution event is confirmed via HMAC-SHA256 signed webhooks. Transactions are simulated before broadcast to catch reverts, bad gas math, and adverse state changes before they touch real funds.

The platform is live on testnet across Ethereum Sepolia, Base, and Arbitrum, with protocol integrations across GMX V2 on Arbitrum, Aave V3 and Balancer on Sepolia, and Compound III on Base.

Progress During Hackathon

The buildathon period has been one of the most productive stretches of the project so far. Here is what shipped: Testnet launched in early May on Ethereum Sepolia and processed over 120 requests in under three weeks, driven purely by early builders and community interest with no paid promotion. Chain expansion followed, with Ardent Research extending testnet coverage to Base and Arbitrum, bringing the platform to three live chains under a single unified API. Builders can now target any of the three chains from the same integration without rebuilding their stack. Four protocol integrations shipped across the chains. GMX V2 went live on Arbitrum, allowing AI agents to execute perpetual trading actions autonomously. Aave V3 and Balancer launched on Sepolia, enabling agents to supply, borrow, repay, and manage liquidity positions. Compound III launched on Base, adding another major lending protocol to the execution layer. The impact on testnet activity was immediate. After chain expansion and protocol integrations, request volume more than tripled, crossing 500 processed requests on testnet. That growth came organically from builders integrating the new chain and protocol capabilities as they shipped. The GMX V2 integration on Arbitrum is the centrepiece of this submission. It demonstrates exactly what the Arbitrum ecosystem needs from an AI agent infrastructure layer: the ability for an autonomous agent to interact with a complex, high-value DeFi protocol through plain language, with the execution layer handling simulation, gas, transaction construction, and confirmation underneath.

Fundraising Status

Pre-seed. We have not raised any external funding to date. The project has been entirely self-funded by the founder. We are actively preparing for a pre-seed raise to fund mainnet launch, accelerate protocol integrations, and drive developer adoption.
