With this latest AI tech, instead of needing the usual wallet information, you only require social handles to send the crypto tokens.
Recently, the Azuki dev team created an AI agent called “Chillguy,” which sent 0.0013 ETH to Taylor Swift – without needing her crypto wallet address.
Instead of needing the usual wallet information, the AI agent only required Taylor’s Twitter handle to send the tokens.
This innovation is made possible by a powerful tool called “plugin-social-wallets.” The Azuki devs are adding it to the ai16z repository.
This tool allows this AI agent to send ETH to any Twitter user. Even if they’ve never used crypto before.
You Can Now Send Crypto on Social Media with Just a Handle
This technology opens up a whole new world for the future of AI agents. Imagine AI agents sending tokens to social media users based on their interactions.
For example, the Aixbt agent could send $CHAOS tokens to its followers. Or, the 0xzerebro agent could send $ZEREBRO to fans on TikTok who listen to his music.
This is a game-changer for creators, artists, and community builders. This will allow them to easily reward their followers and supporters.
What makes this so special is that it goes beyond just AI agents. Anyone can send crypto to any user on social media. As long as they know the person’s social handle—no wallet address is needed.
The plugin uses a feature called Privy’s pre-generated wallet to create wallets for users. It’s also possible to expand this to other platforms like TikTok and Instagram in the future.
Future Tech Simplifies Crypto Transfers and Tipping
Looking ahead, this technology could evolve into an on-chain social registry. Here, people could link their social profiles to a crypto wallet.
This system would let users claim any tokens sent to them when they sign up. This will open the door to easy crypto transfers for everyone.
This tech could also be a game-changer for creators who want to tip their favorite artists. This is without dealing with platform fees or complicated setups.
Instead of paying fees to social media platforms, fans could send small amounts of crypto directly to creators. This will make it a much smoother process for everyone.
