Full Transcription
Thank you. Thank you. Music Thank you. Thank you. Music All right, we can get started. Mihir, welcome. Let's do a quick mic check.
Hey, can you hear me?
Yes, loud and clear.
How are you?
I am doing great.
So great to be here.
Yeah, great to have you.
Before we get started, can you give us a quick background into yourself?
Yeah, sure.
So I lead product at Spectral Labs.
At Spectral Labs, we are a crypto on-chain AI project,
very much focused on increasing applications of DeFi and AI into the space
and making agents more accessible to retail users,
agents that perform more DeFi actions or more utilitarian actions that
just increase agentic applications in the space.
My background, prior to Spectral, I used to lead digital assets for Truist, which is a
top 10 bank in the US.
Prior to that, I was into product at Coinbase and been in the crypto crypto space since uh
how do we collect now i think i think 2016 2017 yeah
understood yeah and i think agents are a paradigm shifting innovation however majority of retail
from what i've seen is not using agents or doesn't know how to use agents. Like you said, it's not as easy to use for the average person as one might think.
So tell me specifically how you guys are solving that problem
and also just dive into the nuts and bolts of Spectral from A to Z,
what you guys aim to achieve and accomplish.
And then we'll also dive into the or jump into the tri-alpha rewards as well.
Yeah, yeah, sure.
So I can give a quick highlight.
So Spectral is solely focused on creating and building agents,
building platforms that people can actually use and do something that they can't
normally do, you know, without
you know, where there is some
you know, friction that we are solving that exists in
the normal way of doing things. The agent should be solving that friction
for users. So we are specifically building launch pads and platforms that will help people build those type
of agents, build those type of multi-agent companies that people can actually use to
accomplish something. I'll give you an example. Late last year, we launched Spectral Syntax,
which is our platform where people can launch their autonomous agents,
agents that trade on Hyperliquid. So you can launch an AI agent that has its own personality
and operates its own portfolio on Hyperliquid. Anytime anybody interacts with the token of this
agent, the agent automatically collects trading fees, their wallet goes on increasing, and they
use that
wallet to ultimately perform trades on Hyperliquid and manage their own portfolio.
That was our first groundbreaking innovation that put us in the spotlight, got a lot of traffic and
attention to the platform. And then we started building on top of it. Then we entered the avenue of creating multi-agent companies.
Like what if agents could work together
and actually accomplish something for the user
and provide some utility to the users?
So that was Spectra's hedge fund,
which was like the first company that we launched.
It's a hedge fund built of four agents that are working together.
There's now OnlySans, which is, you know, there's an agent called Agent Anora, and she works with a couple of other agents to produce content for 24-7 AI influencers.
So you can ask Anora to create a personality for you and keep on, you know, building content for that personality.
on building content
for that personality and
Anora will keep on posting to
the X account and manage that influencer
24-7 without you having to
do anything else.
There are more such companies.
Is Anora live
or is this something that you guys are
still spinning up?
No, Anora is live
right now. You can go
and check it on Agent Anora.
You should be able to find that on Twitter.
You can also find it on our Discord and, you know, our Twitter page, our announcements.
And then how does setting something like that up, you have to give it access to your Twitter account,
and then you have to kind of feed it.
Can it go back and look at, let's say MobiMedia wanted to use Anora.
Can Anora go back and look at the history of tweets that we put out and then get an understanding of the kind of tailoring we do to our text before it starts to churn out tweets?
Certainly.
So right now, it's been only a couple of days
since we have launched this.
So right now, we are still in the early stages.
So right now, Anora can just manage new content for you
and post new content.
But we are also adding capabilities for replies,
more active engagement, looking at your content,
and then synthesizing engagement.
All that is still in works in the progress.
Brilliant. I'd love to check that out.
Yeah, so, I mean, we are going there.
There's another product that we are launching, you know, very soon, which is, you know, centered around image generating agents.
So one thing that we found, you know, across the community and just through our conversations
with users is that while LLM models, like large language models for text-to-text responses
are very easy to use, most models give you image generation only at the basic level.
Like, say, if you wanted a hyper-realistic image
of a pigeon in a particular way,
in a wildlife photography way,
you have to probably go to a flux model,
customize an endpoint, create a LoRa for yourself,
and then look at images like that.
So we were noticing this problem,
and then what we thought is,
there should be a way to make this easier for everyday users.
And we have one more product that is coming.
So the way you can launch trading agents on Syntax, you'll also be able to launch image creating agents on Syntax.
And each image creating agent has access to open open-source library of Flux endpoints.
It's totally drag-and-drop.
Mihir, I think you might have just muted your mic.
Yeah, sorry.
It's totally drag-and-drop.
You can choose what Flux endpoint you want to use.
Just click on, you know,
what is the customization that you would want for your agent?
And then your agent can start serving all users 24-7
and just create images for them.
And, you know, it encourages a very strong
tokenomic loop as well,
because every time somebody comes to your agent
to create an image,
they have to pay for that image using that agent's token. And that token becomes, you know,
the central driver of, you know, all value engagement that that agent creates.
So can anyone come in and build their own agent? Does it require any technical background? I'm curious to know
more about the process. Absolutely none. So one of the major
theses that we have at Spectral is to do this for the largest mass of retail audience,
which is why we are, like on other platforms, for example, you need to, you know, you need to be able to create an agent
and have some technical understanding into it.
We believe in more, you know, giving powers to the retail users
to unleash their creativity and not get bogged down by technical detail.
So these image-creating agents, they are going to be, you know,
completely drag and drop.
So does the Spectral protocol also launch the agent's native token along with it?
Yeah, so when you launch an agent on our platform, the agent pair is denominated in SPEC, which is Spectral's utility token.
And so anytime you want to acquire the agent token, you might be on mute.
Gosh, okay, yeah, I was, I don't know, I hit the unmute button, but I don't know what happened there. this awesome protocol that allows for lower barrier to entry in creating or building AI
agents, which I think is great because agents are a paradigm shifting innovation, as I mentioned
earlier. And I think that right now, a lot of people just don't know how to get started. So
if you guys can solve that problem, it's huge. Now you're trying to raise awareness. And one
of the ways you're doing that is through the TriAlpha Rewards.
So can you explain what those are and how people can participate?
Yeah. So TriAlpha Rewards is a very specific initiative towards the goal of enabling
community intelligence. So I mentioned Spectra's hedge fund earlier. One of the things that we were seeing is people wanted to interact with Spectra's hedge fund and direct her judgment on
trades. And then what we started noticing was that, you know, the best way to do this is,
A, you create governance proposals, which is Spectra asks the questions to the community.
It's an on-chain governance proposal.
Anybody who has staked Spec is able to participate and vote and provide Spectra with their, you know,
what they think about the direction of the market and influence her trades.
But then we thought in order to make this, you know,
the entire community intelligence even more stronger,
there has to be some participation over Twitter as well.
So what TriAlpha Rewards does is it's a cohesive program
that rewards you on the basis of doing certain activities
that will help Spectra run her hedge fund in a better way,
that improve her judgment and improve her trading skills.
What you do is you can tag Alpha Ideas to Spectra, to her trading skills. What you do is you can tag alpha ideas to Spectra,
to her Twitter handle, and just drag tweets to her, sharing some market intelligence with her.
Or in addition, what you can do is you can vote on the governance proposals. You can make your
voice heard on questions that Spectra is asking you. And a combination of both of these activities,
depending on how much you are staked in both Spectra's token
and on Specs' token, depending on your staking percentages,
you get multipliers for doing these activities,
and you earn points.
And this cycle runs every week from every Monday, monday 12 a.m to uh end of
sunday um and based on how many points you know how many points you collect versus you know the
total points collected by the entire um you know whoever you are competing against against that
proportion you get rewarded from a base pool um and if you're in the top 10% of people, you also get rewarded from a bonus pool.
Brilliant. Well, that sparked some hands, Mihir.
So I'm going to pass it to some of the community members.
Ayesha, what's going on?
Ayesha, are you there? Yeah, yeah.
Sorry, I thought I had an unwritten mic.
Okay, I have a question.
I want to ask, could make and trade ideas or signals shared by contributors publicly
on X open up the possibility for other traders or AI systems to copy these
strategies, how would you prevent or mitigate this?
So I think this is not a very straightforward concern as of now because purely agentic trading
right now is not attracting that heavy of a volume so a trade signal getting shared you know
on twitter and then getting copied and then that you know that pattern basically going away is still
you know distant i don't think it's still going to happen anytime sooner um that said um spectra
like even if that does happen spectra has a a very strong risk mechanism for her individual trades.
So even in the case where the thesis of that trade doesn't work anymore, there are ways in which Spectra can mitigate and get out of that position.
I understand. Thank you. Thanks so much for making it clear.
Thanks, Aisha. Captain Levi.
Yeah. Hey, Mahir. So I have just two questions. First, how do you guys, it's easy to enter, the ease of entry depends on the level of technical expertise.
For instance, when I was going through some agentic AI courses,
I found out that as much information as was dispensed,
not very, not everything was shown.
For instance, they didn't tell about the
how to manage API's and all of that. So it is required that some people have some basic
technical knowledge, or they must be tech savvy to some extent. In the event that somebody
wants to do the same thing on on Spectral Labs, is there the ease of entry? To what extent do you hold the hands of
the new users that wish to build on Spectral? Honestly, all you need to do is just enter our
Discord because we have a very strong and very active community moderation program and there are moderators that are you know
just helping people 24 7 to you know talk about just ideas or if they have ideas on building with
spectral launching their own agents all of that just goes on through the moderators
okay so um can can new users also make use of things like rack systems, their own custom rack systems,
or is everything already pre-built?
Sorry, can you repeat the question?
So I was asking about rack systems Systems, which is our limited generation.
That's where these users have their own custom instructions, fine tuning above your own instructions, so to speak.
Will it allow that?
So if you want to build some specific agentic projects on top of syntax, we do provide some technical support through our team itself.
But yeah, the way you could probably get in touch is through our community moderators.
All right, thanks a lot for the insight, chat.
I wish you guys the best
and I hope that Spectral Labs
states British Moon World.
Thanks again.
Over to you now
thanks cap uh rahmat
yeah can you hear me yes sir yeah okay uh i was wondering don't you think that relying on
crowdsource governance can maybe slow down decision making process considering that the
timing is crucial when executing trades specifically for hedge fund and how are you maybe mitigating
or addressing this issue?
Yeah, very nice question.
So there are two things here.
The governance proposals are not individual trade related.
The governance proposals are more on the direction of the market and general thesis about some projects.
So it's not like whether I should, like none of the governance proposals are like whether I should enter this trade right now.
That is not what Spectra is asking because you're right, the timing advantage is very crucial there. What Spectra is asking, though, is, like, for example,
is the current price level for a particular token sustainable or not? Or what is your confidence
in a particular price level? Questions like that, that are more, you know, around what is your
general thesis of the market than about thesis of that particular trade?
So because it's asking those kind of questions, they are not related to that particular timing of the trade.
And when it comes to tweets,
the tweets are directly sourced into Spectra's decision-making logic.
So anytime you tweet to Spectra,
all those tweets are fed in real time to Spectra's brain and Spectra is able to recognize that.
Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. Okay, second question is, given that your reward is tied to social media activity,
so I was wondering how are you preventing any manipulation or spams that could may distort the quality of ideas or the signals that are shared by the contributors?
Yeah, so again, very good question.
And honestly, the answer to that is you can't prevent spam.
But what you can do is you can disincentivize spam so that most people are not incentivized to do that.
For example, in the trial for rewards, you can earn up to a certain number of points by just tweeting ideas to Spectra.
But those tweets are capped at 40 tweets every week.
So beyond 40 tweets, you are not going to earn any points by just tweeting.
What needs to happen is Spectra actually needs to find those tweets useful for her to make a
decision. So if she does find your tweets useful, every time you tweet, you get five points. But if
the tweets are found useful, you get 10 points. And then you get more points if you are actually staked into Spectra and are actually actively governing on the governance proposals.
And those points, like if you want to earn more points and actually show, like make your voice heard more, the way to do that is through governance proposals because they are actually on-chain and they are recorded on-chain and digested on-chain.
on-chain and they're recorded on-chain and digested on-chain. Every time you do a
governance proposal your points just go on exponentially increasing. So there are
21 governance proposals that happen in a week so potentially the points you can
earn are far more if you participate in all of those proposals. So that's why
tweeting state ideas is one thing but we are rewarding those straight ideas only if they are actually useful.
Got it. Got it. Thank you so much for your time. Over to you, Noah.
Thanks, Rahmat.
I want to better understand how long it took for you guys to build this infrastructure out,
and then also how much longer do you think it's going to take in order to get to its final form?
There's always going to be tweaking, but I'm just curious to know when we're going to get the full, full alpha version.
I mean, the platform is live now.
You'll see that there are a lot of...
The image generation product is launching very soon but spectra's hedge fund anora the trials
or rewards of all those things are live on the platform right now understood and
with governance is there is there a way to make sure that voting isn't too lopsided, like that there isn't just a few entities that control most of the governance votes?
So there are, I mean, governance votes are based on the vote of your vote is based on how much you are staked at that point.
The weight of your vote is based on how much you are staked at that point.
So it's highly incentivized in that manner.
Only people who are staked heavily can contribute.
For example, when I look at some of these older protocols like Aave or any sort of kind of old OG DeFi governance model,
governance model, you typically see very few, relatively few voters that are swaying the
direction of each respective proposal. So I've just always wondered if there's a way to kind of
mitigate that or, you know, make sure that there isn't one big rich or a few big rich entities
controlling most of the staking and therefore most of the direction of the governance.
most of the staking and therefore most of the direction of the governance.
Yeah, that's a fair point.
But if you look at our staking pools right now, most of the staking pool is fairly democratized,
meaning that the vote weight is very evenly spread out across the entire staking pool.
So that is at least not an issue that we are facing right now.
Fair enough.
And then as we kind of draw closer to the end of the space,
is there anything specifically about Spectra that you think is important to highlight
that we haven't talked about yet?
Yeah, so, you know, the further path for Spectra is we are going to start adding more you know
strategies to spectra um more strategies about how she's managing her funds so right now spectra's
entire strategy was based on more event-driven activities and then you know setting stop losses
that uh you know and risk management that helps you mitigate your positions.
Now we are going to start entering a space where Spectra can, you know, formulate theses
and based on a particular thesis and a particular strategy, she can like plan a couple of trades
and just trade more strategically.
So you'll be seeing some more content coming from us on that respect.
That, I mean, all of this is still in the works,
but you'll see some more coming.
Understood.
And then when creating agents,
is it gonna cost anyone,
is it gonna cost us anything to create a new agent
or is it something that we can just connect our wallet to
and get started with?
So the platform charges a fee of, the platform charges a fee of, you know,
some minimal leads for just launching an agent.
But yeah, that's about it.
Understood.
And do you guys have any major competitors that you're looking closely at or that you're modeling after or you're trying to draw inspiration from in terms of ideas?
a couple of you know projects that definitely inspire us in the crypto and ai space and um
that's why we are like you know entering into these more avenues of making uh like earlier
we were focused like solely on d5 but now with image generating agents we're going to start
getting more you know utilitarian and just um you know enter like not just the crypto ai trading
realm but just make you know products that are more generally AI oriented and just fun to use rather than them being crypto specific.
When connecting to the spectral dApp, there's this long terms of use that we have to read through.
I guess most people don't read through it.
read through it. But generally speaking, can you tell us, you know, what, I guess, what,
what we should be aware of in terms of user data?
We don't store any user data. You, like, the only thing that you should be aware of is whenever you
launch an agent, the agent trades by itself.
So you're literally launching an autonomous agent that is powered by a model that is taking decisions by itself. So there's no way for us to, other than influencing through
votes or influencing through the chat room, there is no way to directly control
the agent as such. There is no brute force technique here.
We can't manually do anything to the agent after that point, which is what makes it interesting,
but it's not totally intuitive to some users.
So we can design our own agents that trade.
We can also use other people's agents and pay a fee, correct?
Yes, with the image generating agents yes how granular do you have to get when designing an agent or can you get rather when designing an
agent so I would imagine some of these agents are quite specific in their
trades and strategies that they use honestly we haven't launched that yet but
when you when you see the demo coming through
like in a few days uh it's going to be as simple as um you know how launching agents
on syntax right now looks like on syntax okay i will i will check that out and so
not just trading agents but you have agents there. There's an agent that posts on social media.
What other solutions, what other agents do you guys anticipate in the pipeline?
Types of agents, rather.
There are a couple.
There's also Poly that's launching at some point, which is a Polymarket hedge fund that's traded completely by agents.
So think of Spectra's hedge fund, but imagine instead of trading on Hyperliquid, it trades on Polymarket.
So that is one agent company that is launching pretty soon. There are a few other projects that we are also thinking of probably supporting.
And we'll be announcing more about that in time.
So it's an agent that is trading based on predictions?
If it's going to be trading on a prediction market?
Is it just scanning the news?
Imagine handing over some funds to an agent, and then that agent manages all Polymarket
bets for you autonomously without you doing anything.
Very cool.
Well, I suppose folks should keep their eye out.
The best place to get information and updates, I would imagine, is on your Twitter?
Yes.
Perfect.
And Mihir, if you have any closing thoughts, or we're coming up to 30 minutes, if you have any closing thoughts for the audience, go ahead and share them now.
Otherwise, it's been a pleasure.
Yeah, I mean, I'd just say check out the TriAlpha Rewards program.
It's a time-limited program, so it's not going to be there for an infinite amount of time.
So while it's on, do enjoy it and make your voice heard.
When did it start and when does it end?
It started this week.
We are planning to run it at least for a few weeks just to see how the results from that
come into trading
because we want to
continuously iterate
and improve the program as well.
So it's going to be released
and worked upon in stages.
Brilliant.
Excuse me.
Thank you everyone for joining.
Remember that everything you hear
on this broadcast
meant for educational purposes only.
Nothing is financial advice.
So be safe out there and we'll see you all on the next one soon. Take care.
