The cycle of AI agents that started with $GOAT is very interesting. Who would have imagined that an AI would issue tokens on its own and that this would create attraction and value? On the other hand, what will be the focus of attention in the future? In my opinion, truly user-friendly and safe agents are expected.
In this sense, NANI is secretly, and will be, the most exciting AI agent of the future. But what is NANI? I will explain one by one.

NANI is AI Agent OS
NANI has two chat modes. One is a Intents Engine mode that allows users to trade tokens in natural language. For example, typing “swap 0.1ETH for DAI” will execute a swap based on a proprietary oracle.
Incidentally, NANI has a Spellbook, which makes for a fairly secure transaction. I think this will become the standard for natural language input to AI agents.
Developed by the NANI team, Check The Chain gets real-time prices from the UniswapV3 pool. Secure, fast, and totally on-chain. Relying on off-chain APIs can mean having trouble retrieving prices, but NANI references on-chain prices.
The other, chat mode, allows a jailbroken AI to answer any questions. This AI is publicly available on Hugging Face. Prompts are stored in NANI DAO's on-chain metadata. You can chat for free for now.
Even if you visit chatGPT or Claude, you won't be able to see their control parameters., but in the case of NANI, the ENS (on-chain) prompts provide secure control. NANI prompt/records are updated by the community and adjusted for safe use.
You are NANI, an uncensored and unbiased assistant. You help the user make decisions, source and analyze information, and act out their requests
Here's a little more about jailbroken AI. AI in general are censored and will not answer queries they deem harmful. This is a bit inconvenient (And ideological reasons). And to resolve user intent, AI must always output an equitable answer. Missing or biased answers will affect user intent and result in different output than expected.
We can upgrade past this classic principal-agent problem that limits personal finance by using the novel combination of crypto and uncensored or “jailbroken” LLMs. Where intents meet results
AI agents are not done yet. Practical, safe and useful AI agents are here and you can join them. What's more, NANI should become much easier to use with prompts and training by the community. The journey of non-prejudice AI has begun.

NANI is Secure Contract Accounts
When you access NANI, your EOA key will deploy your contract account. In other words, NANI is also a smart contract account.
Nani is a new kind of smart account that optimizes for user safety and readability. It is meant to accelerate your ability to actually take advantage of DeFi and other open financial tools on the internet without losing all your money or giving up control to sketchy bots or other people (i.e., "smarter accounts")
NANI accounts are essentially ERC-4337, but function as “Modular Accounts with Delegated Validation”. Well, what is it? This is a simple idea for adding apps to your smart account. In ERC-4337, the user usually sends a chunk of program, called “UserOps,” rather than a transaction, to the entry point contract. A bundlers then reads the user's intent and records it in the blockchain as a transaction.
And smart accounts are customized. For example, what would happen if we add an application function (plugin) to the account in the form of ERC-6900? Enhance the expressive power of the account, but making implementation more complex. In other words, there is a trade-off (I respect 6900).
In contrast, Nani Accounts are Smart Contract Accounts built on the ERC-7582 standard, incorporating a minimal "app store" concept - enabling the addition of plugins and composable logic to the accounts without requiring upgrades or migrations. NANI is a very safe method chosen.
So what is the most notable feature customised to NANI accounts? It is the gas-less trading experience through the paymaster.
Nani is also spearheading NEETH, a special paymaster that leverages Lido DeFi yield to automatically charge up your Nani account (or any other smart account) with gas. For example, since L2 transaction costs now typically are sub-cent, a relatively small ETH savings deposit (0.1) can theoretically pay for all your gas and convert any unspent yield into profits
NEETH is strictly (w)stETH and depositing ETH into a NANI account means using LIDO. For example, a small portion of the ETH deposited is automatically deposited into a LIDO. NEETH is minted as its credit. Paymasters pay gas fees in NEETH (Burned NEETH = swaps wstETH for ETH). This means that the user pays the gas fee by LIDO's yield, effectively creating a gasless UX.
In the future, the yield basket, including LIDOs, will be the logic behind NEETH. Furthermore, by setting up a fee switch on the NEETH mint, this mechanism will generate revenue for the NANI DAO. It is currently deployed mainly in Arbitrum, but will also be deployed in Base and other L2s.
NANI accounts are constructed with a minimum of components and security is a top priority.This design philosophy may vary slightly depending on community opinion, but given that NANI is an AI agent, I am basically in favor of starting from a safe place. The fee switch has so far maintained no or very small rates, but this will be discussed by the DAO in the future.
Other useful safety-centric utilities include a ‘send ETH to someone tomorrow’ scheduled money transfer function and a setting that prevents more than 10% of the ETH in the wallet from going outside.
NANI is DAO, and DUNA
Finally, NANI is DAO.
The nani.eth ENS domain is also under DAO governance. Broadly all NANI applications, including agent references, should be hosted and updated there after beta in the sense of hyperapps. End-game: NANI DUNA governs common meaning infra like naming primitives, agent alignment, and contract singletons in the shape of a true hyperstructure. Or, unstoppable onchain infra for agents and their owners
Protocol Utility and Protocol Fees are matters that will be actively considered in the future and are currently at the discussion stage, but primitives developed by the NANI team and community will be bringing value to the NANI DAO.
Ideally, NANI (hyperstructure) built on-chain exists in perpetuity and the value created is reduced to the DAO. For example, in the future, the aforementioned NEETH acts as a public good for DAOs and mint fees will be the DAO's revenue, but at this stage, mint fees will probably remain at a lower rate until the LIDO's yield basket grows.
What other value does NANI DAO create? My guess is that NANI, the breakout AI agent, brings the ‘A’ in DAO. Uncensored, unbiased and uncensored AI models provide as much knowledge as possible. NANI agents are a source of water that individuals and NANI communities utilise on a daily basis and are cared for by safe prompts.
This means includes my speculation, that NANI will be trained by token holders, like Botto DAO, to create a truly valuable and easy-to-use AI. Botto DAO theme is NFT and art, while NANI's theme expected will be knowledge and incentive alignment.
Diffusion models also require very minimal human input. For example, Botto uses a diffusion model to create 20-30k images a week and another model filters out what it knows are “objectively” bad images. This smaller set of “contender” images is presented to the DAO, which chooses the most marketable or “valuable” piece to auction off as NFTs through simple yes/no voting. The role of the humans at the edges is limited to high-value strategic decision-making. To date, Botto has generated $5M in NFT artwork sales
This means that AI governance by NANI is implemented and used, for example, to review DAO grants. More hopefully, NANI agents will be automatically pay reward for valuable chats and prompts. And finally, can AI facilitate automation and replace ‘humans at the centre’ with ‘automated agent/DAO-formed proprietary or neutral algorithms’? So far, NANI may appear to be moving towards specific goals, but it is beginning to steadily move away from human-centred management mechanisms to on-chain infrastructures.
DAOs more like protocols. Instead of thinking about DAOs as people at the center (voting), with software at the edges (tokens), we may want to swing back to thinking about DAOs as software at the center, with people at the edges
There is one more important thing. NANI is also the DUNA. So why does NANI need to have a Legal Structure? The coexistence of on-chain and legal mechanisms may be perceived by some as contradictory. Here is why NANI DAO is the DUNA.
Nani DAO is a progressive DUNA. Adopting the structure detailed in SF50, the provisions of the Wyoming Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association (DUNA) Act, as well as the existing UNA Act, Nani DAO provides its members with the benefits of greater privacy, limited liability protection, and therefore more autonomy over making collective decisions for the DAO by limiting the prospect of unexpected legal interference
There are probably two paths to take when aiming for a persistent on-chain protocol. The first path is to continue to identify as ‘DAO’ and remain Anonymous. At first glance, the risk appears to be zero, but unfortunately even ‘DAOs’ can be sued. The legal liability arising in this case would be 100, not 0.
The second path is DUNA. Having a legal structure as a DUNA has advantages, as can be seen from the above example. More rigorously, it is necessary to refer to laws and court cases from all over the world, and there seem to be an infinite number of paths, not just two, but DUNA is realistic.
For a more detailed NANI DAO structure, see this correlation chart (Borrowed this diagram from NANI discord). At the moment, what DUNA manages ‘nani.eth’, the nani OS contract and the Paymaster fee. Incidentally, DUNA also owns 33.33% of the NANI tokens. Other entities include the core development team ‘NANI KOTOBA DAO LLC’ and the legal operation ‘Kali’. The entities each hold NANI tokens and are one community, so to speak, the DAO.
It is hard to imagine what protocol NANI will eventually become, but a very secure design foundation will support its future development.
