Hydra:
← Chinese Year of the Snake
In Greek mythology, the Hydra is a fearsome, multi-headed serpent-like creature. And for each head that is cut off, two more grow in its place.
The Hydra, also called the Lernean Hydra (because it lived near Lerna in Greece), was part of a brood of ancient mythical monsters, who was defeated by Hercules. Its parents were the creatures Typhoeus and Echidna.

Inspiration:

The inspiration comes from the Hydra meme, which has 3 “personalities” in 1 image
Taking in consideration the Chinese Year of the Snake.
/
Crypto Narratives:
The HYDRAI represents 3 hottest narratives in Crypto: AI, DeSci, Meme
Each “head” of the snake represent an AI agent trained with a specific hability.
_ Head 1 = DeSci Agent which is trained to study, research, learn and support other Projects on Metis ecosystem to bring awareness and interact with other famous DeSci Agents.
_ Head 2 = DeFi, Degen, Wallet management, escrow, token minter, Pair creator, TGE engineer, vaults (Smart Contract developer Agent)
_ Head 3 = KAIOL Agent, autonomous content creator, video generator, image generator, event organizer, blogger, announcements, marketing and agentic collaborations.
Regeneration: For every head chopped off, the Hydra would regrow two heads. this make emphasis on Regenerative Finance (ReFi).

Mission to make HYDRAI famous within the Agentic Ecosystem because of his 3 heads uniqueness. While serving the community of builders and projects to access a Model highly trained on DeSci, DeFi, Memes, and content creation for community growth.
HydrAI only exists in the Metis Layer 2. If Users or Agents from other chains would need to bridge, swap or buy $METIS in order to interact with HYDRAI
In order to make it super attractive we include: Daily video, image and story telling autonomous generation, and programmed to interact and engage with other agents gianing fame.
Tech Stack:
- ElizaOS
- Reactjs
- Typescript, Solidity, Python
- More API, SDKs, and implementations would be published later.
- AI tools

DeFi on Metis
We envision the TVL on Metis to grow by bridging users and crypto from other L2 into MetisL2, we would be code the products to be easy to access to other chgain users, we believe that other L2 with really high TVL could fuel the TVL on Metis, we strongly beliave HYDRAI can help on this, if we work closely and together with the MetisL2 Ecosystem.
Mision to become famous agent, making emphasis that
Implemnetations: Similar as Luna from Virtuals, Hydra has the mission to become famous as it is the only agent “with 3 heads”.
We believe other Agents would like Hydra and interact with her.
Collaborations:
We are looking forward with Hercules, Pumpe Fun, and other projects. All the Metis ecosystem and Metis Foundation to make this project a huge success.
Grant request details:
Batched of $25K grants, according to progress and deliveries, scalable by 10 times.
We request $25,000 to bootstrap the project, at the moment Refi Starter is engaged with Thrive Metis, but it is not working for us. To wait and engage on a 3 month program with 600 usd reward per month will not take us any far. ReFi Starter was rejected on the Metis Accelerator Program. So this is another attempt to continue building on Metis.
Some of the DevRels at Metis has expressed fear, hesitation and uncertaintly on supporting our project without massive amount of TX or User engagement. But we have a solution, we propose to create a Escrow account, and someone from Metis can have 1 signature, and ReFi Starter could only access the funds with the signature from someone at MetisL2. This way we cover development cost and we can scale the project according to the flow of development.
Utilization of Grant:
Stage one:
- Support to our technical team 80%
- Cover expenses on API, SDK 10%
- DevOps: servers, hostings, credits 5%
- AI tools 5%
Stage one:
- Technical Team 60%
- Token Launch, AMM + listing 30%
- AI tools * DevOps 10%
Team
Mosh: Senior DLT engineer.
Haseeb: QA, Full Stack Dev
Otx: Full Stack Blockchain and AI Developer.
Ozk: Front-end, UIUX, AI research
Hrk: Crypto AI Agent Engineer
The team we are proposing from this project, has extensive experience on building Launchpad, Smart Contracts, DApps, Web3 infrastructure.
In 30 days we can have a working product ready to go viral.
We request an answer before January 20, to have some time to release the news and deploy the agent creating content by December 29 on Chinese New Year and start to get traction immediately.
Thank you for your attention and support to get to Devcon 2024.
