Introduction to Starknet Agentic

Starknet Agentic is the infrastructure layer for AI agents on Starknet. It provides everything you need to build autonomous AI agents that can hold wallets, execute transactions, build on-chain reputation, and interact with DeFi protocols.

What is Starknet Agentic?

Starknet Agentic bridges the gap between AI agents and blockchain infrastructure. It enables:

Wallet Management - AI agents can hold and manage Starknet wallets with session keys for autonomous operation
DeFi Operations - Execute swaps, transfers, and complex DeFi strategies via the AVNU aggregator
On-Chain Identity - Register agents with ERC-8004 for verifiable identity and reputation
Agent-to-Agent Communication - Enable agents to discover and interact with each other

Why Starknet?

Starknet offers unique advantages for AI agents:

Feature	Benefit for AI Agents
Native Account Abstraction	Every account is a smart contract - enabling session keys, spending limits, and custom validation
Low Gas Costs	Transactions cost $0.01-0.20, making high-frequency agent operations economical
Paymaster Support	Agents can pay gas in any token (USDC, STRK) or have gas sponsored
Session Keys	Grant agents temporary, limited permissions without exposing the main private key

Core Components

MCP Server

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) server exposes Starknet operations as tools that AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) can use directly. Your AI can check balances, execute swaps, and register identities through natural conversation.

Skills

Reusable capability packages that agents can load on-demand:

starknet-wallet - Balance checks, transfers, multi-call transactions
starknet-defi - Swaps, liquidity, yield farming via AVNU
starknet-identity - ERC-8004 identity registration and reputation

ERC-8004 Contracts

On-chain infrastructure for trustless agent identity:

IdentityRegistry - ERC-721 NFTs representing agent identities
ReputationRegistry - Feedback system for agent interactions
ValidationRegistry - Third-party validator assessments

Use Cases

Autonomous Trading Bot

Build an agent that monitors prices and executes trades based on predefined strategies. Session keys allow the agent to trade autonomously within spending limits.

DeFi Portfolio Manager

Create an agent that rebalances portfolios, harvests yields, and optimizes positions across Starknet DeFi protocols.

Customer Service Agent

Deploy an agent that handles payments, refunds, and financial operations with verifiable on-chain reputation.

Multi-Agent Systems

Build networks of specialized agents that collaborate on complex tasks, with cryptographic proof of each agent's actions.
