Zero-Gas Autonomous Agents: Account Abstraction on Base L2

Sebagian besar implementasi "AI Agent on-chain" hari ini adalah lelucon arsitektur: sebuah skrip Python yang memegang raw private key dari EOA (Externally Owned Account), mengeksekusi LLM inference, lalu membakar native ETH setiap kali mengirim transaksi.

Jika bot Anda kehabisan ETH di tengah rebalancing posisi Uniswap, prosesnya mati. Jika RPC timeout saat gas melonjak, state loop Anda rusak. Jika private key bocor dari memory dump, seluruh dana ludes.

EOA didesain untuk manusia dengan MetaMask, bukan untuk software loop otonom yang berjalan seribu kali per menit. Kita perlu memisahkan penandatangan transaksi (signer) dari pembayar gas (paymaster). Solusinya adalah ERC-4337 di atas Base L2 (Chain ID 8453).

Berikut cara membangun autonomous agent tanpa saldo ETH native, memanfaatkan bundler, paymaster sponsor, dan smart contract wallet.

Arsitektur: UserOperation vs EOA

Alih-alih menandatangani payload RLP standar dan membroadcastnya ke public mempool, agen Anda membuat struktur data pseudo-transaksi yang disebut UserOperation. Struktur ini dilempar ke mempool alternatif milik ERC-4337 Bundler.

+------------------+          +-------------------+          +------------------+
|  Agent Runtime   |          |   ERC-4337        |          |  EntryPoint      |
|  (Local Signer)  | --UserOp->   Bundler         | --batch-->  (0x5FF137...)   |
+------------------+          +-------------------+          +------------------+
                                        |                             |
                                        v                             v
                               +-----------------+           +------------------+
                               |    Paymaster    |<--verify---|   Smart Account  |
                               | (Sponsors Gas)  |           |  (State Keeper)  |
                               +-----------------+           +------------------+

Keuntungan teknis di Base L2:

1. L1 Calldata Fee Murah: EIP-4844 blobs memotong biaya L1 calldata hingga ~95%. UserOp bundler batch overhead menjadi sub-sen (sering kali < $0.0005 per tx).
2. Sponsorship Arbitrage: Protokol atau treasury dapat mendanai paymaster secara off-chain atau via contract deposit, memungkinkan agen beroperasi berminggu-minggu tanpa pernah memegang gas token.

Implementasi Runtime Agent

Agen membutuhkan hook execution lokal. Di bawah ini adalah skrip production-ready minimal untuk menyusun UserOperation unsigned, meminta gas sponsorship, dan mengeksekusi logic on-chain di Base L2.
