Metis Synapse - Connect LLMs to Metis Ecosystem

[ssd39]

Project Name

Metis Synapse

Problem Statement

Interacting with the Web3 ecosystem today feels like using a computer from the 1980s. Each dApp is a separate, siloed program with its own complex interface. To perform even a simple multi-step task, users must manually navigate between these disconnected applications, creating a fragmented, time-consuming, and error-prone experience that forms a major barrier to widespread adoption.

Solution Overview

We are building the on-chain operating system for Metis. Our platform introduces a unified conversational interface and a powerful Software Development Kit (SDK) to bridge the world of AI with the Metis ecosystem. For users, this means managing your entire on-chain life through simple commands. For developers, it provides the ultimate toolkit to build and deploy sophisticated AI agents, making Metis the premier, AI-native blockchain environment.

Project Description

Our project introduces a revolutionary layer over the Metis ecosystem, designed to make it intelligent, accessible, and programmable for everyone. It is built on two core pillars that serve two distinct audiences: the user and the builder.

1. For the Everyday User: The Universal Command Center
We are transforming the user experience from confusing to conversational. Through our simple, chat-like interface, any user can access the entire Metis ecosystem from one place. This isn’t just about checking balances; it’s about executing complex strategies with simple English commands.

• Example: A user could type, “Take my 1,000 USDC, find the best stablecoin yield on Metis, deposit it, and alert me if the APY drops below 15%.”
  Our system interprets this, interacts with the necessary protocols, and executes the entire workflow. This single feature turns a normal user into a power crypto user, abstracting away the complexity of Web3.

2. For Developers & Innovators: The Agent SDK & Marketplace
This is the true engine of ecosystem growth. We provide a powerful, open-source SDK that allows any developer to seamlessly connect AI with Metis.

• “Batteries-Included” Toolkit: Our SDK comes pre-loaded with integrations for most major Metis protocols. This means developers can immediately start building powerful agents without worrying about the low-level connectivity for each dApp.
• Permissionless Innovation: As an open and community-driven platform, any developer can use our SDK to build their own unique agent and submit it to our public marketplace. This could be a sophisticated trading agent, a portfolio rebalancer, or a tool for a new gaming dApp.
• Rewards for Builders: To foster innovation, we will implement a reward system. Developers who contribute valuable and widely-used agents will earn a share of the fees they generate, creating a direct economic incentive to build on our platform and enrich the Metis ecosystem.

In essence, we are providing the foundational layer that makes Metis AI-native. We handle the complex connections to the underlying Model Context Protocol (MCP) data network, so users can just talk, and developers can just build.

Community Engagement Features

Our launch will be a gamified campaign inviting the community to experience the future of Web3 interaction firsthand:

• Testable Features/Tasks:

  • Boot Up the OS: Create your account and initialize your personal command center. (100 Points)
  • Run Your First Command: Use the chat interface to execute a simple data query, like “List my assets on Hermes.” (150 Points)
  • Install Your First Agent: Deploy a pre-built “Staking Helper” agent from the marketplace. (250 Points)
  • Execute a Workflow: Give the OS a multi-step command, such as “Claim my Tethys rewards and swap them to METIS.” (400 Points)
  • Propose a New “System App”: Submit a detailed idea for a new agent that would benefit the entire ecosystem. (500 Points)
  • Developer Beta: Use our SDK to build and test a custom agent. (1500 Points)

• Gamifying the Experience: A leaderboard will track the most active “Power Users” and “Core Developers,” fostering competition and rewarding deep engagement with the OS.

• Encouraging Onboarding: Points will unlock exclusive “First Citizen” NFTs, access to advanced agent capabilities, and a significant share of a future token airdrop, rewarding the early pioneers.

Getting Involved

This is more than a project; it’s a movement to define the future of user experience in Web3. We are looking for pioneers to join us.

• Join the Community: Follow our upcoming social channels. This is where the future of the Metis user experience will be debated, designed, and built.
• Become a Beta Tester: We need users to push the limits of what’s possible. Your feedback will be instrumental in creating a truly intuitive system.
• Help Build the OS: If you are a developer, designer

Hello @ssd39 , how are you ?

How does Synapse ensure the accuracy and security of commands executed through the conversational interface—especially when handling financial transactions or sensitive actions?

[han]

Thanks for sharing this! Here are three user-focused questions:

1-How does the conversational interface handle complex or ambiguous commands from users to ensure accurate execution?

2-What kind of support or resources will you provide for developers new to the SDK to start building AI agents effectively?

3-How will the rewards system fairly measure and distribute fees among developers contributing agents to the marketplace?

Hi @priyankg3, I am doing good. Thanks!

Synapse employs a multi-layered security architecture to ensure the accuracy and security of all commands, especially those involving financial transactions or sensitive data. This approach can be broken down into three key areas: verifiable information, secure execution, and user control.

1. A Foundation of Verifiable, Community-Vetted Information

At its core, Synapse relies on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) registry, an on-chain and transparent database of approved ecosystem projects and tools. The integrity of this registry is maintained through several mechanisms:

• DAO Governance: A Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), composed of project and ecosystem community members, is responsible for verifying all dApps listed in the registry. This process ensures that crucial details like smart contract addresses and Application Binary Interfaces (ABIs) are correct and that the dApp’s capabilities are accurately tagged.
• Transparency: All records and transactions on the registry are recorded on the blockchain, making them accessible for public verification. This transparency fosters trust and allows for independent audits.
• Reputation System: To enhance the DAO’s effectiveness, Synapse will utilise a reputation system that will automatically invite project members and users to participate in voting based on their established reputation within the ecosystem.

2. Verifiable MCP<>LLM communication

To prevent malicious actions and ensure that commands are executed as intended, Synapse utilizes a cluster of Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). A TEE is a secure and isolated area of a processor that protects code and data from tampering, even from the underlying operating system.

• Autonomous Signing: When the Language Model (LLM) selects a tool from the MCP registry, it retrieves a signed function schema. The TEE cluster then autonomously signs the function schema to prove that it originated from the verified registry.

3. User Control and Final Validation

Synapse is designed to empower the user, giving them the final say in any transaction.

• Client-Side Validation: The user’s client receives both the transaction details, with values pre-filled by the LLM, and the cryptographic proof of validation from the TEE cluster. This allows for an additional layer of verification on the user’s own device before any action is taken.
• Local Wallet Interaction: The final transaction is executed using the user’s local wallet. This means the user must explicitly approve and sign the transaction, maintaining full control over their funds and data.

What is Synapse’s main responsiblities as platfrom?

Basically, we provide a verified, decentralized MCP registry by using a novel approach: we act as an AI battery-loaded team that quickly transforms ecosystem dApps for the MCP, while also providing the right standards for community developers to make it faster. We then use a DAO mechanism with a reputation system that invites appropriate members to the project to securely add entries to the registry. Lastly, we utilize a TEE-enabled, decentralized, autonomous cluster which has RAG capabilities to identify the right tool and also proves that the tool is truly from the registry.

Vision

By combining community-driven verification, a secure validation environment, and ultimate user control, Synapse creates a robust framework that significantly enhances the accuracy and security of interactions within its conversational interface.

More than providing chat, our main vision is to provide a single, decentralized registry to anyone who wants to build agents in the Metis ecosystem.

First Phase

As outlined above, the project has a broad scope and encompasses multiple components. For the first phase, serving as our MVP, we will focus on building a registry with a DAO-based approval mechanism, developing the initial version of the MCP server with basic validation capabilities, and integrating with LLM.

Subsequent phases will cover the reputation system, advancements in TEE, SDKs for developers, and other extended development efforts.

Thanks for such a well-structured answer!

Really like how Synapse puts the user in control at the final step, it’s reassuring to see security and transparency baked in at every level. Excited to see how this unfolds as the MVP goes live. Appreciate the clarity!
