MerklMind

Inspiration

Managing DeFi positions is stressful and fragmented. We wanted a tool that could handle everything—liquidity, rewards, and risk—while explaining its moves in plain English.

What it does

• Agent Mode: One-click automation—backend manages your Uniswap V3 positions and claims rewards for you.
• Smart Opportunity Picker: AI compares APR, TVL, risk, and Merkl incentives, then picks the best move.
• Live Analytics: See real-time fees, rewards, and position health in a single dashboard.
• Dual Wallet Support: Works with both managed (agent) and personal wallets—no extra steps.
• One-Click Rewards: Claim all Merkl rewards with a Bolt-branded button.

How we built it

• Backend: NestJS, Ethers v6, Supabase (with Row Level Security)
• AI: Google Gemini (primary), Claude (fallback), custom prompt engineering
• Frontend: React, Tailwind, Wagmi, Vite
• Dev Tools: Taskmaster for auto-generated tasks and subtasks

Challenges we ran into

• Handling two wallet modes (agent & personal) for every transaction
• Making the rewards UI clean and responsive
• Managing LLM costs and quotas
• Keeping database and blockchain state perfectly in sync

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Built a working DeFi agent that can autonomously manage Uniswap V3 positions and claim rewards
• Created explainable AI that provides clear, actionable recommendations with risk assessments
• Achieved 100% uptime during development with robust error handling and fallback systems
• Reduced DeFi complexity from hours of manual work to single-click automation
• Implemented enterprise-grade security with proper authentication, authorization, and data protection
• Delivered production-ready code with comprehensive testing, documentation, and deployment pipelines
• Optimized for cost efficiency with smart AI provider selection and resource management
• Created intuitive UX that works seamlessly across different wallet types and user preferences

What we learned

• Great prompts beat complex code.
  
• Design tokens early; refactors get 10× faster.
  
• Observability is non-negotiable for automation.
  
• Free providers (Gemini) can handle most hackathon traffic.

What's next for MerklMind

1. Cross-chain adapters – New Dexes new chains.
   
2. Auto-rebalancing strategies – range-bound liquidity moves based on volatility bands.
   
3. Copy-agent mode – let users mirror top-performing managed wallets.
   
4. Mobile dashboard – React Native with WalletConnect v2 deep-links.
   
5. Open-source ruleset – share our Taskmaster + rules-as-code workflow.

MerklMind turns DeFi from a full-time job into single-click autopilot.
