## Inspiration
Crypto research is fragmented. To analyze a single token, traders must check CoinGecko for prices, DeFiLlama for TVL, Twitter for sentiment, on-chain explorers for whale movements, and news sites for context. I wanted to build a system where you just ask a question and AI agents do all the research for you in parallel.
## What it does
AI Crypto Research Agent is a multi-agent AI research system that orchestrates 12 specialized crypto agents through the Heurist Mesh network:
- Market Data: CoinGecko (prices, trending), CryptoCompare (OHLCV data)
- On-Chain Analysis: Solana Token Agent (whale tracking, holder analysis), DeFiLlama (TVL, protocol metrics)
- Social Intelligence: Elfa Twitter Agent (sentiment, influencer tracking)
- News & Context: CryptoPanic (aggregated news), ExaSearch (deep web research)
- Cross-Chain: EVM Token Agent, Uniswap, 1inch for multi-chain coverage
The system uses a 3-step pipeline:
- Orchestrator analyzes your question and selects the best agents
- Agents execute in parallel with automatic retry on failure
- Synthesizer combines all data into a coherent research report
## How I built it
Built entirely with Kiro Code using vibe coding. The project uses:
- Next.js 15 with React 19 and Server-Sent Events for real-time streaming
- Heurist Mesh API to access the 12 AI agents
- TradingView widget for live charts
- Custom retry logic with exponential backoff
- IP-based rate limiting to prevent abuse
Kiro's spec-driven development helped me define the architecture upfront, and the steering docs ensured consistent code quality throughout.
## Challenges I ran into
- Agent parameter inconsistency: Each Heurist agent has different parameter names. Solved by switching from tool mode to query mode for more flexibility.
- Streaming complexity: Coordinating multiple agent responses in real-time while maintaining UI responsiveness required careful state management.
- Rate limiting: Balancing between allowing demo usage and preventing API abuse.
## Accomplishments that I'm proud of
- Built a functional multi-agent system in a weekend
- 12 agents working in parallel with automatic failover
- Clean, terminal-style UI that shows the research process in real-time
- Everything written with Kiro Code - zero manual coding
## What I learned
- How to orchestrate multiple AI agents effectively
- The power of spec-driven development with Kiro
- Real-time streaming patterns with Server-Sent Events
- The importance of graceful error handling in distributed systems
## What's next for AI Crypto Research Agent
- Add portfolio tracking
- Integrate more chains (Base, Arbitrum, etc.)
- Build a Telegram bot interface
- Add historical analysis and backtesting
