Inspiration

Every day, millions of users are locked out of DeFi by the tedium of chain-hopping, gas-token juggling, and fragmented UIs. Inspired by the simplicity of voice assistants like Siri and Alexa, we built Nomi AI, a natural-language crypto co-pilot that speaks your language—so you never have to think about wallets or gas again.

What it does

  • Conversational Trading & Investing
    • “Buy $100 USDC on Arbitrum,” “Stake $500 in Aave,” “Bridge 50 DAI to Polygon.”
  • Cross-Chain Orchestration
    • Auto-bridges funds via Chainlink CCIP (with Wormhole/Axelar adapters).
  • Zero-Gas UX
    • Meta-transactions pay fees in your preferred token—no native gas required.
  • Rule-Based Automation
    • Chainlink Automations & Functions watch your positions and exit on your profit/loss rules.
  • Fiat On/Off-Ramp & Magic Links
    • Email-to-crypto and fiat withdrawals without downloading extra apps.

How we built it

  • Frontend: React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Framer Motion
  • 3D & WebGL: Three.js, React Three Fiber, custom GLSL shaders
  • Smart Contracts: Solidity & Hardhat on Ethereum, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum
  • Oracles & Bridges: Chainlink CCIP, Wormhole/Axelar adapters
  • Automation: Chainlink Automation & Functions
  • Backend & Storage: Node.js/Express APIs, IPFS for rule storage
  • Protocol Integrations: Hyperliquid, Aave, Polymarket, Centrifuge/Ondo RWA

Challenges we ran into

  1. Cross-Chain Reliability
    > Ensuring CCIP callbacks and adapter fallbacks worked under heavy load.
  2. Gas Costs for Automation
    > Balancing check frequency vs. upkeep expenses—solved with batched triggers & off-chain checks.
  3. Secure Key Management
    > TEE-based agent wallets are still maturing; we shipped v1 with multi-sig thresholds.
  4. Natural-Language Accuracy
    > Parsing varied user phrasing into precise transaction intents required iterative NLP tuning.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • End-to-End Demo: Live chat UI executing buy→bridge→exit flows on testnet
  • CCIP Integration: Seamless cross-chain transfers with sub-20s latency
  • Automation Workflows: Rule-based exits, even when users are offline
  • Immersive UI: Custom WebGL neural-mesh backgrounds that react to input

What we learned

  • Abstracting complexity is non-negotiable for mainstream adoption
  • A modular, API-first architecture accelerates new integrations
  • On-chain automation + off-chain verification boosts reliability
  • User-centric NLP tuning bridges the gap between human language and smart-contract calls

What's next for Nomi AI: AI-Driven Crypto Autopilot

  • TEE-Backed Agent Wallets: Trustless, gas-abstracted signing
  • Mobile App & SDK: Extend autopilot into any dApp
  • Expanded Coverage: NFTs, DePIN, SocialFi marketplaces
  • Token Launch & Incentives: Community-driven governance token & rewards
  • Enterprise Integrations: White-label autopilot for neobanks & payment rails
