🦉How Edwin Works

Edwin is a TypeScript library that serves as the bridge between AI agents and DeFi protocols. It provides a unified, secure interface for AI agents to interact with various DeFi protocols while abstracting away the complexity of blockchain operations and protocol-specific implementations.

System Architecture

Core Components

Protocol Abstraction Layer

The heart of Edwin is its Protocol Abstraction Layer, which provides a standardized interface for interacting with different types of DeFi protocols:

• Lending Protocols: Standardized interfaces for lending and borrowing operations

• DEX Protocols: Unified interfaces for liquidity provision and trading

• Future Protocol Types: Extensible system for adding new protocol categories

AI Framework Adapters

Edwin's framework adapters enable seamless integration with AI frameworks:

• Standardized command interface

• State and context management

• Response formatting

• Error handling

Security Layer

Edwin incorporates multiple security measures to ensure safe DeFi operations:

1. Transaction Security

   • Transaction validation and signing

   • Amount and gas limits

   • Slippage protection

   • Failure recovery

2. Protocol Security

   • Whitelist verification

   • Protocol health checks

   • Operation boundaries

   • Risk assessment

Data Flow

1. Command Initiation

• AI agent generates a DeFi operation command

• Framework adapter normalizes the command for Edwin

2. Protocol Abstraction

• Command is mapped to standardized protocol interface

• Protocol type is identified (Lending, DEX, etc.)

• Operation is validated against protocol interface

3. Security Checks

• Transaction validation

• Protocol whitelist verification

• Security boundaries check

4. Protocol Execution

• Protocol interface executes operation through SDK

• Transaction is signed and broadcast

• Result is monitored and returned

Integration Points

For AI Frameworks

Edwin provides a clean adapter interface that:

• Accepts standardized commands

• Handles response formatting

• Manages state updates

• Provides operation feedback

For DeFi Protocols

Protocols can integrate with Edwin through:

• Implementation of protocol type interfaces

• SDK integration

Technical Implementation

Edwin is an open-source TypeScript library that enables:

• Extensibility to all protocols

• Easy integration with existing frameworks

• Community driven development
