web3 Verifier – Fight Rug Pulls with Fast, Grounded AI Conversations

#devchallenge #algoliachallenge #ai #agents

This is a submission to the Algolia Agent Studio Challenge: Consumer-Facing Conversational Experiences

🌟 What I Built

A Web3 Verifier Agent - the AI-powered safety tool the crypto space desperately needs. In a world of scams, rug pulls, and misleading hype, this agent helps everyday users (investors, developers, newcomers) instantly verify web3 projects through natural conversation.

🎯 The Problem

Web3 due diligence is complex, time-consuming, and error-prone. Users struggle with:

❌ Fake audit claims and misleading marketing
❌ Outdated information from search results
❌ Complex on-chain data that's hard to interpret
❌ No easy way to compare projects objectively

💡 The Solution

A conversational AI that makes web3 safety instant and intuitive:

"Is this Solana memecoin safe?"

"Check Aave's audit status"

"Any red flags on this DeFi protocol?"

Instant responses with trust scores, evidence, and clear warnings.

Data Pipeline

// Automated data collection from multiple sources
const projects = await fetch('https://api.llama.fi/protocols');

// Structured indexing for search
{
  project_name: "Uniswap V3",
  chain: "Ethereum", 
  tvl_usd: 2070611004,
  audit_status: "audited",
  sentiment_score: 0.85,
  risk_flags: [],
  // ... 15+ fields per project
}

Agent Prompting Strategy

You are a neutral web3 investigator. For each query:

1. Search the web3-projects index for relevant data
2. Calculate trust score (1-10) based on:
   - Audit status (40% weight)
   - TVL stability (25% weight) 
   - Verified contracts (20% weight)
   - Sentiment analysis (15% weight)

3. Structure response with:
   - Trust score badge
   - Evidence-based summary
   - ✓ Positives first
   - ⚠️ Red flags second  
   - 🔗 Source citations

Be concise, factual, and prioritize user safety.
