Just created @chillguyagent, a test AI agent that sent @taylorswift13 0.0013 ETH - without even knowing her wallet address. That’s right - the agent didn’t need Taylor’s wallet. All it needed was her Twitter handle in order to send the tokens. This is made possible by a powerful action called "plugin-social-wallets" that the Azuki dev team is contributing to the @ai16z repo. This enables AI agents to send crypto to any Twitter user, even if they've never used crypto before. Now imagine all AI agents in the future being able to seamlessly distribute tokens to people on social media in order to achieve its goals. Imagine @aixbt_agent sending $CHAOS to its followers. Imagine @0xzerebro sending $ZEREBRO to fans on Tik Tok who listen to his songs. This is a huge step for onboarding and a major unlock for agents to reward devs, creators, artists, community builders, and more. The tech actually extends beyond just AI agents. It will enable anyone to send crypto to any user - all that's needed is a social handle. So how does it work? The plugin currently uses Privy's pre-generated wallet feature to create wallets for any user, and can easily be extended to include other privy-supported logins like Tik Tok/IG. In the future, the data source could be replaced with an onchain social registry that anyone can opt into themselves to link their socials to a wallet, using TEE-verified oauth. With a reserve vault smart contract layer on top of that, this could hold tokens sent to users that haven't signed up yet and then easily be claimed on signup. If crypto is the language of agent transactions, bridging their agency to the real world isn’t just inevitable, it’s essential. Outside of the agents usecase, the ability to tip tokens to any creator without platform fees or onboarding headaches will be a game changer. Azuki's vision is to inspire an open anime universe, and this plugin is a step toward unlocking endless possibilities. Imagine anime characters as agents, launched by creators and collectors in the community, contributing to collaborative storylines, interacting with fans, and transacting with one another. This could spark entirely new forms of meta games, stories, and economies - all driven by the creativity of the Azuki community.
