For this year's ConsenSys internal hackathon, we taught ChatGPT how to trade crypto. Introducing MetaSwapper, an autonomous crypto trading bot powered by AutoGPT and MetaMask Swaps API.

Features

⚖️ Fetches balance using "get_balance" command

💹 Swaps tokens using "swap_tokens" command

♻️ Automatically selects the best route based on gas cost

💸 Can also send eth using "send_eth" command

What is this?

MetaSwapper is an autonomous crypto trading bot in the form of an AutoGPT plugin. AutoGPT is an autonomous agent orchestration framework written in Python. It combines ChatGPT with internet access, memory management, and filesystem capabilities, with a plugin framework.

How did we do it?

To teach it to trade crypto, we gave it some essential capabilities, like fetching wallet balance and swapping tokens. It's powered by three different MetaMask APIs: Swaps API, Gas API, and Account Service. Shout out to the API Platform and Swaps teams for making these APIs so easy to use.

We gave the bot three goals: Increase net worth, record each trade, and tweet after each trade.

And then we let it run. On it's own, the bot came up with a plan: First, it would check it's balance. Then, it would do some DD. Finally, it would make the trade, record it and tweet about it.

First, it checked its wallet balance. So far, so good. Then it did some DD, before quickly deciding to buy some PEPEDEX ($PPDEX) as it's first trade.

And then, it started trading. It had some false starts at first, but was able to make some successful swaps using the MetaMask Swaps API.

It's far from perfect, though. The bot tends to lose context quickly, and goes off on tangents. It does not perform thorough DD and is unlikely to be able to carry out complex trading strategies at the moment. Most concerning is that it tends to hallucinate wallet addresses.
