Open Autonomy Framework

Open Autonomy is a framework for the creation of AI agents: off-chain autonomous AI agents which run as a multi-agent-system (MAS) and offer enhanced functionalities on-chain. AI agents expand the range of operations that traditional smart contracts provide, making it possible to execute arbitrarily complex operations (such as machine-learning algorithms). Most importantly, AI agents are decentralized, trust-minimized, transparent, and robust.

Get started developing AI agents

Read the Open Autonomy documentation to learn more about AI agents. Follow the set up and quick start guides to start building your own AI agents.

For developers contributing to the framework: install from source

• Ensure your machine satisfies the following requirements:

  • Python >= 3.10
  • Tendermint ==0.34.19
  • IPFS node ==v0.6.0
  • Pip
  • Pipenv >=2021.x.xx
  • Go ==1.17.7
  • Kubectl
  • Docker Engine
  • Docker Compose
  • Skaffold >= 1.39.1
  • Gitleaks

• Clone the repository:

  git clone [email protected]:valory-xyz/open-autonomy.git
  

• Pull pre-built images:

  docker pull valory/autonolas-registries:latest
  docker pull valory/acn-node:latest
  docker pull valory/contracts-amm:latest
  docker pull valory/safe-contract-net:latest
  docker pull valory/slow-tendermint-server:0.1.0
  

• Create and launch a virtual environment. Also, run this during development, every time you need to re-create and launch the virtual environment and update the dependencies:

  make new_env && pipenv shell
  

  ℹ️ Note: we are using atheris in order to perform fuzzy testing. The dependency is not listed in the Pipfile because it is not supported on Windows. If you need to run or implement a fuzzy test, please manually install the dependency. If you are developing on Mac, please follow the extra steps described here.

• Fetch packages:

  autonomy packages sync --update-packages
