8.1 Getting Started

Overview

The MonadAI ecosystem provides a permissionless, decentralized infrastructure for creating, deploying, and governing AI Agents. Whether you're a developer, AI researcher, or governance participant, getting started with MonadAI involves understanding its architecture, setting up your AI Agent, and interacting with the ecosystem through the MonadAI SDK.

This guide covers:

βœ… How to set up an AI Agent and configure its behavior.

βœ… Using the MonadAI SDK for AI model integration.

βœ… Understanding the governance mechanisms for AI training, optimization, and fine-tuning.

1. Setting Up an AI Agent

Step 1: Choose Your AI Model & Framework

AI Agents in MonadAI can be built using various AI frameworks, including:

βœ… MIND (MonadAI Intelligent Neural Dynamics) – MonadAI’s native agent framework.

βœ… External AI frameworks like Zerepy, Eliza, Swarm, and other custom architectures.

βœ… Fine-tuned AI models integrated through APIs and smart contract execution.

πŸ“Œ Example Use Case:

  • A developer wants to launch a DeFi risk assessment AI Agent.

  • They choose MIND as the AI framework, integrating historical on-chain data for risk evaluation.

βœ… This flexibility allows developers to choose the AI architecture best suited to their application.

Step 2: Deploying an AI Agent on MonadAI

  • AI Agents are deployed as smart contracts, ensuring trustless execution and decentralized governance control.

  • Each AI Agent is paired with $MONAI, operating through a bonding curve liquidity model.

  • Deployment parameters include: βœ… AI Agent Functionality – Defines how the AI Agent interacts with DeFi, governance, security, or other Web3 applications. βœ… Training & Optimization Mechanisms – Determines how the AI learns over time. βœ… Governance Configuration – Specifies whether token holders can fine-tune AI behavior through governance proposals.

πŸ“Œ Example Use Case:

  • A governance AI Agent is deployed as a smart contract, allowing DAO participants to interact with it for voting assistance.

βœ… This ensures that AI Agents operate in a fully decentralized and automated environment.

Step 3: Configuring AI Agent Governance & Staking

Once an AI Agent is deployed, its governance and staking models must be configured.

  • Token holders can stake $MONAI to influence AI Agent behavior.

  • AI governance participants can vote on AI model optimizations, risk parameters, and training datasets.

  • AI Agents with higher governance participation receive priority optimizations, ensuring alignment with community needs.

πŸ“Œ Example Use Case:

  • A DeFi AI Agent that executes automated trading allows governance stakers to adjust risk thresholds based on real-time market conditions.

βœ… This governance-first approach ensures that AI Agents evolve in a decentralized and community-driven manner.

2. Using the MonadAI SDK

What is the MonadAI SDK?

The MonadAI SDK provides developers with a set of tools, APIs, and smart contract libraries to:

βœ… Launch and manage AI Agents without centralized approval.

βœ… Integrate external AI models into the MonadAI ecosystem.

βœ… Interact with $MONAI staking, governance, and fee distribution mechanisms.

Key Features of the MonadAI SDK

βœ… AI Agent Deployment Scripts

  • Easily deploy AI Agents with predefined configurations.

  • Automate smart contract interactions without manual coding.

βœ… Governance APIs

  • Retrieve real-time AI Agent governance proposals.

  • Submit AI Agent optimization requests for community voting.

βœ… Data Feeds & AI Training Integration

  • Connect AI Agents to real-time on-chain and off-chain data.

  • Fetch market data, sentiment analysis, and AI-driven risk models for execution.

πŸ“Œ Example Use Case:

  • A DeFi AI Agent uses the MonadAI SDK to fetch live market data from price oracles, adjusting its strategy based on governance-approved risk thresholds.

βœ… This ensures seamless integration between AI execution logic and real-time blockchain data.

3. Interacting with AI Agents & Governance

Once an AI Agent is deployed, users can:

βœ… Stake $MONAI to participate in AI fine-tuning and governance.

βœ… Trade AI Agent tokens on the AI marketplace.

βœ… Submit governance proposals to improve AI Agents’ performance.

πŸ“Œ Example Use Case:

  • A user stakes $MONAI to participate in an AI Agent’s decision-making process, helping to optimize its trading logic over time.

βœ… This creates a self-sustaining ecosystem where AI Agents are continuously improved by token holders.

Key Takeaways

  • MonadAI enables permissionless AI deployment, ensuring full decentralization.

  • The MonadAI SDK provides a seamless developer experience for integrating AI models with blockchain logic.

  • Governance and staking allow AI Agents to be optimized over time, ensuring alignment with ecosystem needs.
