Title: On-Chain LLM Interaction – A New Paradigm for Web3 Applications?

Metis Governance Governance proposals

One of the most unique aspects of the Metis Hyperion Testnet is its native support for AI execution, including the potential for on-chain interactions with large language models (LLMs). This isn’t just an infrastructure upgrade—it could fundamentally change how smart contracts, users, and dApps communicate and operate.

Right now, most LLMs are accessed through centralized APIs and operate off-chain. They’re powerful, but they depend heavily on trusted third parties. With Hyperion’s AI-native architecture, we may be seeing the first steps toward decentralized LLM reasoning that happens entirely within the blockchain environment.

Here are a few areas I think deserve deeper discussion:

  1. Human-Language Interfaces for Smart Contracts
    Imagine users interacting with smart contracts through natural language. A user could simply type a command like “swap 50 USDC to ETH with lowest fees,” and an on-chain LLM would parse, validate, and execute the request. This could eliminate the complexity barrier for non-technical users.
  2. AI-Assisted Governance Proposals
    LLMs could read, summarize, or even write DAO proposals based on real-time input from forums, code commits, or treasury reports. They could flag proposals with inconsistencies, or assist delegates in understanding complex policy updates before they vote.
  3. Dynamic Protocol Behavior
    Protocols could evolve based on AI-generated logic. For instance, a DeFi protocol could ask an LLM to analyze usage data and suggest a change in interest rates, fee models, or reward structures—all on-chain, governed by transparency and verifiability.
  4. Modular AI Agents With Memory
    Unlike traditional contracts, LLM agents could store interaction history and adjust behavior over time. This opens the door to intelligent agents that serve as customer support, on-chain mentors, or adaptive NPCs in gaming applications.

Challenges remain, of course—gas cost, model interpretability, and trust boundaries need to be addressed. But with Hyperion’s modular execution model and native AI capabilities, we’re closer than ever to meaningful, transparent LLM interactions on-chain.

But the conern is how these onchain Agent will not be misused by hackers to exploits

now you mention it, but yeah there is some method to prevent prompt attack and jailbreak.. eventho it need more effort than current on-chain , but we can try to make it happen. creating aiauditing tools, prompt validation and Sandboxed Execution for Agents might do some huge impact to enhance the security. or if you do find some other method you could also share with me, and make discussion on this forum.

not gonna lie, its difficult but sometimes its easy to predict human behaviour
