AI agents now execute atomic crypto swaps on Bitcoin Layer 2s · 1 source tracked

A second team has independently developed and deployed an AI agent capable of executing atomic Hash Time-Locked Contract (HTLC) swaps on Bitcoin Layer 2 networks. This agent, named KaleidoAgent by KaleidoSwap, operates non-custodially, managing assets like stablecoins and RGB tokens over the Lightning Network. The agent utilizes LLMs such as Claude or OpenAI to drive its trading strategies and wallet functions, validating the concept that settlement layers do not require a referee for trades. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates AI agents' capability in executing complex, non-custodial financial transactions on blockchain networks.
