Build a Autonomous Onchain Agent using Zerion CLI

About Zerion

Zerion is the best self-custodial wallet for everything you own onchain. Track and manage tokens, NFTs, and DeFi positions across 60+ EVM chains and Solana — all in one place.

From portfolio overview to per-asset details: price charts, transaction history, P&L, and more. The same familiar interface works across the web app, mobile app, and browser extension. Advanced security features like phishing detection, transaction simulator, and more — keeping you safe onchain.

Zerion API powers the infrastructure behind the wallet — and is available to builders. It's the same multi-chain portfolio and wallet data layer used by 200+ teams including Uniswap, Privy, Backpack, and Kraken. If you're building anything that needs onchain data across EVM chains and Solana, the API is your foundation. We're excited to host a track on the Frontier hackathon to see what you can build with our new Zerion CLI.

Mission

Fork Zerion CLI, build your own autonomous onchain agent, and ship something that executes real transactions — no simulations, no chatbots.

Hackathon Track Scope

Zerion CLI is fully open source — fork it, extend it, make it yours. This track is about building on top of that foundation: an autonomous agent that uses your forked Zerion CLI as the wallet and execution layer, with real onchain transactions and scoped policies that keep the agent safe.

It gives developers a complete trading stack from the terminal: wallet creation, cross-chain swaps and bridges, portfolio tracking, PnL, and transaction simulation. EVM and Solana from day one.

No matter how much you customize the CLI, every swap still routes and carries a default commission, server-side in the Zerion API. You keep creative control. Zerion stays the execution engine.

The interface is up to you — Telegram bot, Discord bot, web app, CLI script, cron job, whatever fits your use case best.

• Fork the Zerion CLI repo and build your agent on top of it.

• Your agent must execute at least one real onchain transaction, such as swaps, bridges, or portfolio rebalancing.

• Define at least one scoped policy — lock to a chain, set spend limits, define expiry windows, block certain actions.

• Extend and customize the CLI however you want: write new policies, add new commands, build new interfaces.

• Consider innovative use cases like:

  • A Telegram or Discord bot that dollar-cost averages (DCA) into an asset based on a schedule and policy-defined spend limits.

  • An agent that monitors a wallet and rebalances its portfolio when an asset's value changes.

  • A group interface for collaborative trading decisions, executing only after team consensus.

  • An agent that reacts to external signals (like price alerts or onchain events) to automate actions.

  • A multi-agent system where one agent proposes trades and another approves them within predefined policy limits.

Submission Requirements

• Fork the Zerion CLI repo as your starting point.

• Build your execution and wallet layer on top of the forked CLI.

• Choose any interface — Telegram, Discord, web app, CLI, or other.

• At least one scoped policy must be defined and implemented (e.g., chain lock, spend limit, expiry).

• The agent must execute a real onchain transaction (not a simulation). All swaps must route through the Zerion API.

• A demo video or a live demo of your working agent is required.

• All code must be open source and available in a public GitHub repository.

Judging Criteria

• Onchain Functionality: Does the agent genuinely execute real onchain transactions, or is it a simulation?

• Policy Design: How well are the agent's actions scoped and secured by the implemented policies? Are there any "god-mode" agents?

• Real-World Applicability: Does the bot address a genuine need or offer a practical use case that someone would actually use?

• Code Quality: Is the codebase well-structured, readable, and easy to fork or extend?

• Demo Quality: Is the demo clear and comprehensive, allowing judges to understand and test the functionality effectively?
