Personel agent for utility payments and trading on aptos ecosystem
The problem Aurora solves
Aurora is a decentralized application (dApp) built on the Aptos blockchain that addresses several key challenges faced by users in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. By combining an intuitive dashboard, advanced trading tools, borrowing/lending capabilities, and an AI-powered chatbot, Aurora streamlines complex tasks, enhances accessibility, and improves the overall user experience in managing crypto assets. Below are the primary problems Aurora solves and how it makes existing tasks easier, safer, and more efficient.
-
Simplified Asset Management
Aurora provides a unified dashboard where users can view all their Aptos account balances in one place. This eliminates the need to log into multiple wallets or platforms. -
Advanced Trading and Price Analysis
Aurora integrates a trading view graph powered by the Plyth trading widget, enabling users to track prices of coins like APT/USD and apply various filters for technical analysis. -
Access to DeFi Borrowing and Lending
Aurora leverages the Echleon SDK to enable users to trade assets and use them as collateral to borrow funds.
Users can repay borrowed assets at their convenience, creating a flexible financial ecosystem that adapts to individual needs.
4.AI-Powered Automation and Integration
Aurora integrates an AI agent chatbot powered by the Aptos Move Agent Kit, enabling users to:
•Send money to wallets saved by name (instead of copying/pasting complex wallet addresses).
•Fetch market details and execute trades on Joule Finance directly through the chatbot.
•Perform transactions on Aptos and even book tickets using their personal agent.
Challenges we ran into
Building Aurora was an exciting yet challenging journey. As with any complex decentralized application (dApp), we encountered several technical hurdles and bugs that required creative problem-solving and collaboration. Below are some of the key challenges we faced during the development process, along with how we overcame them.
-
Integrating Multiple SDKs and APIs
Aurora relies on multiple third-party tools and SDKs, such as Pyth for trading widgets, Echleon for borrowing/lending and market data functionality, and Joule Finance for market data and trading. Integrating these disparate systems into a cohesive platform was a significant challenge. -
AI Chatbot Integration
The Voice enabled AI agent chatbot, powered by the Aptos Move Agent Kit, was designed to handle complex tasks like sending money, fetching market details, and booking flights. However, integrating it with external services like Joule Finance and Petra Wallet introduced several bugs. -
Real-Time Price Data Accuracy
Providing accurate and real-time price data for assets like APT/USD was critical for the trading dashboard. However, we encountered delays and inaccuracies in price updates, which could mislead users during trading. -
