Shade Agents are AI-powered, non-custodial agents that can hold assets across multiple chains, sign transactions with MPC, and interact securely with both on-chain and off-chain data. They are verifiable, tamper-proof, and confidential by design, while enabling low-cost, scalable computation without gas limits.
Shade Agents
Shade Agents is an AI agent framework based on TEEs and NEAR Chain Signatures to create verifiable agents that can control accounts and assets across multiple blockchains with the assurance that the agent cannot lose access to its accounts and that its private keys will never be revealed.
What Are Shade Agents?
Development Flows
In most cases you will develop your agent using the quickstart template.
In some cases, you may want to deploy a custom agent contract, which allows for more customizability inside of the agent contract.
In very rare cases, you may want to implement niche features that cannot be done with the shade-agent-cli or shade-agent-api using no-API template.
What Can You Build?
With Shade Agents, you can build staking protocols with advanced rewards, cross-chain yield optimizers, custom authentication like a Telegram trading bot or X.com prediction market, and flexible oracles powered by LLMs or multiple data sources.
