Thales CTO

AI agent for Web3.

About Thales CTO

Thales CTO operates as an autonomous AI agent designed to streamline Web3 development and governance. Developed by Redacted Research, an on-chain research organization, it focuses on:

  • Programmable Intellectual Property (IP) creation via Story Protocol
  • Encrypted data storage and blind computation through Nillion
  • Cross-chain interoperability using Shogun for asset transfers
  • Decentralized yield aggregation via Omo Protocol

The project distinguishes itself by combining AI-driven decision-making with blockchain-native tools, targeting developers and decentralized organizations. Its team includes three ai16z partners, reflecting deep integration with the ElizaOS ecosystem.


Technology

Thales CTO leverages a hybrid stack:

  • ElizaOS Framework: Utilizes ai16z's modular architecture for agent orchestration
  • Zero-Knowledge Proofs: Secure data handling via Nillion's encrypted computation
  • Multi-VM Support: Cross-chain execution through Shogun's virtual machine abstraction
  • Dynamic IP Management: Story Protocol integration for NFT-based intellectual property

This stack addresses three core challenges:

  1. Secure data utilization in decentralized AI workflows
  2. Cross-chain liquidity fragmentation through unified interfaces
  3. Automated yield optimization for protocol-owned assets

Key Features

  • 🛡️ Blind Computation: Process sensitive data without exposing raw inputs
  • 🌐 Cross-Chain AMM: Swap assets across Ethereum, Solana, and Cosmos ecosystems
  • 📜 IP Minting: Convert AI-generated content into programmable on-chain assets
  • 🤖 Autonomous Treasury Management: Dynamic rebalancing of protocol reserves
  • 🔍 Context-Aware Agents: Memory-enhanced AI with persistent transaction history

Integration with Eliza

Thales tightly integrates with ElizaOS through:

  1. Shared Runtime Environment: Execute Thales agents within Eliza's sandboxed VM
  2. Plugin Architecture:
    • Smart contract interaction module
    • Cross-chain state synchronization
    • On-chain/Oracle data fetchers

Key technical synergies include:

  • Shared liquidity pools between Eliza's agent network
  • Cooperative training using federated learning models
  • Joint security audits of cross-protocol transactions
