[nicky-ru]

About

Introducing the @elizaos/plugin-depin plugin, a new addition to the Eliza Agent Framework that provides Perception and Action capabilities via DePINs.

Risks

Low.

• This is a new plugin and does not interfere with existing functionality or other plugins.

Background

What does this PR do?

This PR creates the @elizaos/plugin-depin plugin, which empowers Eliza AI agents with advanced capabilities to interact with decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePINs). This plugin acts as a bridge between AI agents and the real world, enabling real-time data access and device control.

Key Features:

1. Seamless IoTeX Integration:
   • Leverages IoTeX Modular Infra to connect to a growing ecosystem of DePIN networks.
2. Unified Data Access:
   • Standardized interfaces allow access to diverse DePIN data sources, regardless of protocols or formats.
3. Time-Series Data Handling:
   • Equipped to analyze temporal patterns for predictive capabilities.
4. Future-Proof Design:
   • Designed to scale with the evolving DePIN and AI landscape.

What kind of change is this?

• Features:
  • A completely new plugin added to the Eliza Agent Framework.
• Documentation:
  • Detailed setup instructions provided in the README to help users integrate and use the plugin effectively.

Why are we doing this? Any context or related work?

The IoTeX team provides the DEPIN+AI layer to bridge decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePINs) with artificial intelligence, enabling transformative real-world applications. @elizaos/plugin-depin plugin is designed to expand the capabilities of Eliza agents by connecting them with DePINs, enabling them to process real-world data and perform actionable tasks.

Documentation changes needed?

My changes include the plugin's README, which serves as comprehensive documentation for setup and usage. No additional documentation changes are required.

Testing

Where should a reviewer start?

1. Review the plugin's code for integration with DePINScan, Mapbox, and Nubila APIs.
2. Follow the README's configuration and setup instructions to verify the plugin's functionality.
3. Test both actions (DEPIN_PROJECTS and CURRENT_WEATHER) to ensure correct behavior.

Detailed testing steps

1. Test DEPIN_PROJECTS action with:

   • Query token prices, market caps, and valuations.
   • Compare metrics and filter projects by categories and chains.
   • Ask device statistics and earnings data.
   • Question about specific DePIN project details.

2. Test CURRENT_WEATHER action to:

   • Fetch current weather conditions, temperature, and forecasts
   • Analyze and answer weather-related questions, including patterns and trends.
   • Ensure proper handling of weather-themed queries, including memes and visual content generation.

looks cool but why not call it iotex plugin

looks cool but why not call it iotex plugin

I think iotex plugin would be sending or trading tokens on iotex, like other chain's plugin. and we have contributed many functionalities to evm plugin already.

I agree with him on the naming.

calling it dePIN is def misleading; maybe ask chatgpt for a suggested name; happy to merge

[wtfsayo]

lets merge lgtm
