Building on Ethereum in the AI Era
summary
Surveys SpeedRun Ethereum, Scaffold‑ETH, ABI Ninja, Address Vision and a full node client while showing concrete outcomes: a Scaffold‑ETH project bootstrapped with two commands, deployed and minted a LeBron card live; SpeedRun challenges list completion counts and an AI‑guided mode. Explains x402 token‑gates APIs and an Edge & Node wallet, presents ETH Skills for editors, ERC‑8004 agent registry with Agent0 SDK and a subgraph, and OneClaw secrets storage using Google Cloud HSM + MPC, an LLM proxy in a TEE and intent‑based signing with guardrails; demos work end‑to‑end and Q&A covers signing latency and git integration.
