Introducing Anda

Yes, the agent is running in TEE

It’s easy to get confused on this especially when the ICP influencers on YouTube / X are claiming the agent runs on-chain. But I think the Anda project’s README could be more clear on this. The bot itself is running on an Amazon AWS Nitro instance but the readme states the following (cc @zensh):
ā€œAnda agents operate within a decentralized trusted execution environment (dTEE) based on Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs)ā€

Hopefully DFINITY offers some TEE infrastructure in the future.

@zensh and team: are you aware of projects currently using Anda?

We previously engaged with some developers but didn’t follow up further—some projects might be using anda-bot.

Over the past three months, we’ve focused on optimizing Anda’s infrastructure and core design, and recently started developing agent applications.

Our plan is to first launch practical agent apps ourselves, then attract external developers to join.

This is really cool!

I’m focusing on improving the dev experience by enabling direct HTTP communication between the clients and the IC (see here, but I’ll post more details in a dedicated thread soon), and I wanted to create a demo example of a x402-enabled canister.

Anda’s facilitator completes the picture, enabling a full x402 implementation on the IC. I also believe that the facilitator itself can benefit from the HTTP Authentication work.

awesome stuff, you should create some demo videos about that. I saw x402 being discussed a lot most recently again.

I am more than happy to help promoting your work via DFINITYDev on X! :slight_smile:

nice, ping me once that is done :+1:

I’m not a huge Coinbase fan (they have done some horrible things business wise esp. to customers) but x402 is a great idea to extend the HTTP protocol with and to enable crypto payments in a very fast, easy, & free fashion esp. utilizing the ICP blockchain. This is extremely useful for devs and online shops, API payments, AI agents, etc. no doubt…

Great work @zensh !

Definitely progress…. The Internet of Value is one step closer…
