Build a Discord Agent that leverages Solana Agent Kit capabilities to interact with the Solana blockchain through Discord messages. This integration enables natural language interactions with blockchain functionality.

Core Features

  1. Bot Infrastructure

    • Direct message handling
    • Typing indicators
    • Chat history management
    • Stream processing
  2. AI Integration

    • LangChain React agent
    • GPT-4 language model
    • Memory persistence
    • Tool integration

Quick Start

1. Prerequisites

# Required versions
Node.js >= v20
pnpm >= v9

# Installation
pnpm install

2. Environment Setup

# .env file
DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token
SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY=your_solana_private_key
SOLANA_RPC_URL=your_rpc_url
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_key

3. Discord Bot Setup

  1. Create Application
1. Visit Discord Developer Portal
2. Create New Application
3. Add Bot to Application
4. Copy Bot Token
  1. Enable Intents
const client = new Client({
  intents: [
    GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent,
    GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessages
  ],
  partials: [
    Partials.Message,
    Partials.Channel
  ]
});

Implementation Details

Agent Initialization

async function initializeAgent() {
  // Initialize Language Model
  const llm = new ChatOpenAI({
    modelName: 'gpt-4-mini',
    temperature: 0.3
  });

  // Setup Solana Agent
  const solanaAgent = new SolanaAgentKit(
    process.env.SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY!,
    process.env.SOLANA_RPC_URL!,
    {
      OPENAI_API_KEY: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY!
    }
  );

  // Create Tools and Agent
  const tools = createSolanaTools(solanaAgent);
  const memory = new MemorySaver();
  
  return createReactAgent({
    llm,
    tools,
    checkpointSaver: memory,
    messageModifier: customPrompt
  });
}

Message Handling

client.on(Events.MessageCreate, async (message) => {
  // Check for DM
  if (message.channel.type !== ChannelType.DM) return;
  
  // Process Message
  const { agent, config } = await initializeAgent();
  
  // Handle Response Stream
  const stream = await agent.stream({
    messages: userChatHistory
  }, config);
  
  // Process Chunks
  for await (const chunk of stream) {
    if ('agent' in chunk) {
      await message.reply(chunk.agent.messages[0].content);
    }
  }
});

Chat History Management

Memory Structure

const chatHistory = new Map();

// Add message to history
const userChatHistory = chatHistory.get(userId) || [];
userChatHistory.push(new HumanMessage(message.content));

Stream Processing

const replyIfNotEmpty = async (content: string) => {
  if (content.trim() !== '') {
    await message.reply(content);
  }
};

Agent Configuration

Custom Prompt

const messageModifier = `
  You are a helpful agent that can interact onchain using the Solana Agent Kit.
  You are empowered to interact onchain using your tools.
  If you ever need funds, you can request them from the faucet.
  Be concise and helpful with your responses.
`;

Tool Integration

const tools = createSolanaTools(solanaAgent);
// Available tools:
// - Token operations
// - NFT management
// - DeFi integration
// - Blockchain queries

Error Handling

try {
  await processMessage(message);
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Error handling message:', error);
  await message.reply('An error occurred. Please try again later.');
}

Best Practices

  1. Message Processing

    • Validate inputs
    • Handle timeouts
    • Manage rate limits
    • Track errors
  2. Agent Management

    • Cache initialization
    • Monitor memory
    • Handle disconnects
    • Log interactions
  3. Security

    • Validate permissions
    • Secure keys
    • Monitor usage
    • Rate limit users

Common Issues

  1. Discord API

    • Rate limits
    • Token expiration
    • Permission issues
    • Connection drops
  2. Agent Integration

    • Initialization failures
    • Memory leaks
    • Tool errors
    • Stream interrupts
  3. Blockchain Operations

    • RPC errors
    • Transaction failures
    • Network congestion
    • Balance issues

Development Tips

  1. Local Testing

    • Use test bot
    • Monitor memory
    • Check responses
    • Log everything
  2. Production Deploy

    • Use PM2/similar
    • Monitor resources
    • Set up alerts
    • Regular backups
  3. Maintenance

    • Update dependencies
    • Monitor logs
    • Check performance
    • Update prompts
