🤖How does it all work?

To understand how the bitGPT Network works as whole, it's helpful to first understand the role of Delegates — colloquially referred to as AI Agents — within our system.

Delegates are semi-autonomous problem solvers that operate within the bitGPT Network. These entities are designed to perceive their environment, make decisions, and execute tasks independently, all while maintaining user privacy and security. They operate within a decentralized framework, leveraging blockchain technology and edge computing to function with human oversight, but without constant human intervention.

At their core, Delegates are designed to interact with both on-chain and off-chain resources, synthesizing information to develop and execute optimal strategies. They learn and adapt continuously, enhancing their capabilities as they operate. Our architecture allows agents to perform complex tasks, from executing crypto transactions to managing portfolios, all while ensuring that users retain full control over their data and actions.

Delegates play a crucial role in the bitGPT Network by enabling a wide range of applications, from financial transactions to data analysis. They are powered by a combination of centralized Large Language Models (LLMs) and localized Small Language Models (SLMs), ensuring both broad capability and specialized expertise. This hybrid approach allows agents to handle both generic tasks and specialized functions efficiently.

AI System Evolution and Decentralization Trajectory

The network's delegates are designed with privacy and security in mind. They utilize privacy-preserving protocols and secure enclaves to protect user data, ensuring that sensitive information remains confidential. Additionally, the agents' ability to operate across multiple blockchain networks enables seamless interactions, making them invaluable for DeFi operations and other decentralized applications.

Terminal is bitGPT's flagship delegate, currently in beta and used by over 2,000 testers. It serves as a trading copilot, assisting users in navigating the complexities of Web3. Terminal understands natural language commands, executes crypto transactions, and interfaces with various decentralized applications, including wallets. Its multilingual support and personalized guidance make it accessible to users of all backgrounds, simplifying the process of researching, developing, and deploying trading strategies.

Terminal's functionality extends beyond basic transactions. It can analyze market conditions, optimize trading strategies, and automate execution, all while ensuring that users have the final say in approving transactions. This blend of autonomy and user control makes Terminal a powerful tool for both novice and experienced users in the Web3 ecosystem.

While the Terminal Agent is the first to market, the bitGPT Network is designed to support a wide range of AI Agents tailored to specific needs. Examples of future agents include Social Media Delegates (agents that manage and analyze social media interactions, providing insights and automating content strategies while maintaining user privacy), Portfolio Management Delegates (designed to offer personalized investment advice while automating portfolio adjustments based on market trends and user preferences, and Lifestyle Delegates (akin to personal assistants that can proactively manage your calendar, plan and book holiday logistics, and optimize your workout routines). These examples represent just a small fraction of what is possible. Future agents will continually expand the utility of the bitGPT Network, enabling users to customize their experience and leverage AI in ways that align with their specific needs and goals.
