The AI agent space has experienced explosive growth since October 2024. Overall marketcap is currently at $7.8 billion. These intelligent agents are now capable of creating and managing wallets, issuing tokens, conducting transactions, and engaging with DeFi ecosystems. With the rise of frameworks like Eliza, building AI agents has become more accessible than ever.
To solidify its presence in the AI Agent space, BNB Chain has introduced a dedicated plugin for the Eliza Framework – offering seamless integration for AI-driven on-chain operations.
Introducing the Eliza AI Framework with BNB Chain Plugin
The Eliza AI Framework, developed by ai16z, is a versatile tool for deploying AI-powered agents with on-chain functionalities. With the BNB Chain Plugin, developers can now leverage the speed, scalability, and affordability of BNB Chain to create AI agents capable of interacting with the blockchain in real time.
Key Features of the Eliza AI Framework with BNB Chain Plugin
- Model-Agnostic Flexibility: Supports multiple large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI’s GPT, Claude, and Llama, offering adaptability to different AI needs.
- Built-in Onchain Functionality: Native blockchain integration ensures secure, transparent, and efficient execution of on-chain operations.
- Asset Management Capabilities: AI agents can deploy, mint, transfer, and query balances of token contracts, making it easy to automate asset management.
- DeFi Integration: Supports swaps, staking, and liquidity management, enabling AI agents to interact with DeFi protocols on BNB Chain.
- Cross-Platform Social Engagement: AI agents can maintain consistent personalities across Twitter, Discord, and Telegram, offering new possibilities for Web3 marketing and automation.
- RAG Memory System for Enhanced Intelligence: Built-in Retrieval-Augmented Generation capabilities enable AI agents to process documents, analyze media, and even execute autonomous trading strategies.
Setting Up and Deploying an AI Agent on BNB Chain
Developers eager to explore the potential of AI-powered blockchain applications can get started quickly with the Eliza AI Framework. The following steps outline the setup process and core functionalities.
Step 1: Prerequisites
Before setting up the AI agent, ensure you have the following installed:
- Node.js (v23+)
- pnpm (package manager)
- Git
- VS Code (or any preferred code editor)
- BNB Chain wallet address with BNB tokens for gas fees.
Step 2: Environment Setup
Clone the Eliza AI Framework repository and install dependencies:
git clone https://github.com/elizaOS/eliza.git
cd eliza
git checkout 83065c4
pnpm install
Step 3: Configuration
Edit the .env file to include BNB Chain-specific configurations:
OPENAI_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
BNB_PRIVATE_KEY=<your-private-key>
BNB_PUBLIC_KEY=<your-public-key>
BSC_PROVIDER_URL=https://bsc-mainnet.nodereal.io/v1/64a9df0874fb4a93b9d0a3849de012d3
OPBNB_PROVIDER_URL=https://opbnb-mainnet-rpc.bnbchain.org
Once configured, the AI agent is ready to interact with the BNB Chain network.
Demonstrating the AI Agent’s Capabilities
The Eliza AI Agent can execute a range of blockchain-related tasks. Below are some key demonstrations:
1. Token Operations
The AI agent can check balances and perform transactions directly on BNB Chain.
Check Wallet Balance:
“Check my BNB balance on BSC”
Transfer Tokens:
“Transfer 0.1 BNB to 0x…”
2. DeFi Operations
Eliza-powered AI agents can interact with DeFi protocols, enabling actions like token swaps and staking.
Swap Tokens:
“Swap 0.1 BNB for BUSD on BSC”
Stake BNB to Lista DAO
“Stake 1 BNB to Lista DAO on BSC”
3. NFT Operations
The AI agent can create and manage NFT collections, making it a powerful tool for NFT projects.
Deploy NFT Collection
“Create an NFT collection named ‘My Demo Collection'”
Set symbol as “DEMO”
Set base URI as “https://xxx.png”
4. Bridging Between BSC and opBNB
Eliza AI agents can bridge assets between BSC and opBNB, streamlining cross-chain transactions.
Bridge 1 BNB to opBNB
“Help me bridge 1 BNB from BSC to opBNB”
Withdraw 1 BNB from opBNB to BSC
“Withdraw 1 BNB from opBNB to BSC”
5. Requesting Testnet Tokens
Developers working on testnet environments can request test tokens via AI-generated prompts.
Get Test Tokens
“Help me get some test BNB([‘BNB’, ‘BTC’, ‘BUSD’, ‘DAI’, ‘ETH’, ‘USDC’]) from the faucet”
The Future of AI x Blockchain on BNB Chain
As we move into 2025, one of BNB Chain’s main focus is to become an “AI-First” chain. With continuous improvements and community-driven initiatives, BNB Chain is poised to empower the next generation of AI applications, bringing the best of blockchain and AI to life.
One of the steps in recognizing this vision is the Eliza AI plugin. By offering automated asset management, DeFi interactions, NFT creation, and cross-chain functionality, the integration makes AI agents more intelligent and autonomous in Web3 ecosystems.
Why Build AI Agents on BNB Chain?
- Scalability & Speed: High-performance infrastructure for AI-driven transactions.
- Low Transaction Fees: Cost-efficient on-chain interactions.
- Robust Ecosystem: Access to DeFi, NFT, and cross-chain tools.
- Developer-Friendly: Easy integration with Eliza AI framework.
