Swell Rewards Agent | A Deep Dive

Co-authored by the Brahma & Swell Team

DeFi was built on the promise of open, permissionless finance, yet much of its operation still relies on manual execution. At Brahma, we set out to change that—envisioning a future where protocols and applications run autonomously, governed by intelligent agents that execute tasks seamlessly. This vision is now becoming reality, with the first wave of onchain agents transforming how protocols interact, adapt, and evolve.

The Swell Rewards Agent is among the first implementations of this shift. By automating the tedious yet critical task of reward claiming, Swell users can now experience true hands-free DeFi. This is just the beginning of a broader movement toward self-sustaining, intelligent financial systems, with an industry-wide uprising of onchain agents redefining automation.

ConsoleKit’s Role in Onchain Automation

Swell sought a seamless way to automate wSWELL reward claims, ensuring users never missed a vesting period. By integrating ConsoleKit, the Swell Rewards Agent was deployed to handle this task efficiently.

"Integrating ConsoleKit into our system was remarkably straightforward," noted a team member from Swell. "The modular design meant we could deploy quickly without overhauling our existing infrastructure."

The agent now autonomously claims wSWELL rewards every six hours, ensuring timely vesting without manual intervention. Users simply create an automation account, activate the agent, and let it handle the rest.

Performance and Stability

The transition to an autonomous rewards system introduced significant improvements. A Swell representative highlighted the stability of the automation: "Since launching, the agent has run without any issues, consistently claiming rewards on time. This level of reliability has removed the need for users to check in manually,"  as stated by Kieran Smith, CMO, Swell.

The integration process was smooth, with minimal compatibility issues. "We were able to see the first successful claims within a short timeframe," shared another team member.

The Next Arc of Agents

The success of the Swell Rewards Agent is just the beginning. AI-driven automation in DeFi is paving the way for more sophisticated implementations. Looking ahead, the ability to develop intelligent strategies that optimize yield, rebalance lending pools, and adjust protocol parameters dynamically will redefine how DeFi operates.

"We’re excited to explore further integrations and expand what’s possible with autonomous agents," as stated by Kieran Smith

The evolution from manual execution to adaptive intelligence is well underway. With infrastructure like ConsoleKit, protocols can now focus on innovation while automation handles execution, setting the stage for the next wave of onchain intelligence.

Upcoming plugins for the major Crypto Agent Frameworks will allow creators to easily empower their agents with onchain capabilities.

ConsoleKit’s alpha is opening up soon, and multiple teams are developing on it.
