AI Agent

CAREL’s AI agent lets you execute DeFi actions with natural language. Instead of navigating the UI manually, you describe what you want — the agent handles routing, quoting, and on-chain submission.

Execution Levels

There are three AI execution levels. Higher levels add more capabilities but cost more.

Level	Name	What it does	Fee
L1	AI Suggest	Parses your intent, shows a plan — you confirm manually	Free
L2	AI Execute	Parses and executes on-chain autonomously	2 CAREL flat + ~$0.30 in CAREL
L3	AI Private	Executes via Hide Mode — combines AI routing with private execution	3 CAREL flat + ~$0.50 in CAREL

How to Use

Open the AI panel — floating button, bottom right of the app
Type a command in natural language
The agent shows an execution plan — token, amount, route, estimated fee
Confirm to execute (L2/L3 submit on-chain automatically)

Example Commands

swap 10 STRK to USDT
stake 500 CAREL
limit order sell 100 USDT at 1.05 STRK
bridge 0.01 ETH to Starknet

Autonomous Execution (ERC-8004)

CAREL’s AI agent implements ERC-8004 — an on-chain standard for autonomous AI agent execution on Starknet.

The AIExecutor contract (0x00d8ada9eb26d133f9f2656ac1618d8cdf9fcefe6c8e292cf9b7ee580b72a690) handles:

Receiving parsed intents from the backend
Verifying the AI signature via AISignatureVerifier
Routing to the appropriate action (swap, stake, limit order)
Collecting the execution fee (hybrid: flat burn + USD-target component)

The agent is fully autonomous — it does not require manual transaction signing for L2/L3 execution after initial intent confirmation.

Fee Breakdown

Each AI transaction has three fee components charged simultaneously:

① Flat burn — burned immediately, guaranteed deflation floor:

Level	Flat burn
L2	2 CAREL → 100% burned
L3	3 CAREL → 100% burned

② USD-target component — CAREL amount calculated by TWAP oracle at execution time:

Level	USD target	Routing
L2	~$0.30 in CAREL	75% treasury, 25% weekly buyback fund
L3	~$0.50 in CAREL	75% treasury, 25% weekly buyback fund

③ Buyback-burn epoch — the 25% buyback fund accumulates weekly, then buys CAREL from the market and burns it.

During seed phase (before TWAP oracle is live), only flat burn applies at a higher rate — 5 CAREL/tx for both L2 and L3.

Fee parameters are adjustable via governance after mainnet.

Points Bonus

AI execution earns a bonus on top of standard action points:

Level	Points bonus
L2	+20% on the base action points
L3	+40% on the base action points

Example: a 10 STRK swap normally earns 10 pts/USD. At L3, it earns 14 pts/USD.

L3 — Private AI Execution

L3 combines the AI agent with Hide Mode. The agent parses your intent, routes through the ShieldedPool V4, generates a Garaga Honk proof, and the relayer submits on-chain.

Your command (natural language)
    │
    ▼
AI parses intent → builds Hide Mode payload
    │
    ▼
Backend generates ZK proof
    │
    ▼
Relayer submits → chain shows relayer address, not yours

This is the highest privacy tier available in CAREL — AI-routed and wallet-unlinkable.

Current Limitations

L2/L3 fees require CAREL tokens — get testnet CAREL from the faucet in the Rewards tab
AI gas usage is currently 4.9–5.1M (target: 1.5M) — optimization in progress
L3 shares the same proving constraints as Hide Mode (~16GB RAM per proof)
