As one of the largest open-source AI platforms in the industry by financing scale (with a total funding of $85 million), Sentient Labs today officially launched SERA-Crypto—an open-source AI research agent specifically designed for crypto and Web3 scenarios. It can provide on-chain analysis, token economic insights, and protocol risk assessments with complete citation sources and reproducible reasoning chains within 30 seconds, suitable for wallets, exchanges, data dashboards, and research teams.

The development goal of SERA-Crypto is to address the long-standing reliability issues of general models in the financial industry, especially in the current context of an escalating AI trust crisis. As the crypto market and prediction markets move into the mainstream, more and more users rely on AI to interpret rapidly changing odds, catalysts, and on-chain signals—while unreliable answers can lead to significant real monetary losses. Some platforms have already encountered noise and trading volume distortion issues, making the crypto industry intolerant of any illusions, fabrications, or outdated outputs.

Although general models can summarize market narratives, they often struggle to update on-chain data in real-time and cannot provide clear, auditable reasoning processes. SERA-Crypto is specifically built for Web3 research scenarios—every answer is based on the latest data, multi-tool parallel calls, and reproducible thinking chains, allowing teams to thoroughly verify results before taking action. Through an innovative open-source architecture, it can output verifiably accurate answers within 30 seconds.

For example, when asked: "What is the current revenue of the Solana ecosystem? How has it grown in the past?" SERA-Crypto would provide a structured analysis that includes: ecosystem revenue data, peak phases, growth curves, comparative benchmarks, daily data at the protocol level, risk factors, and forward-looking insights.

In contrast, while GPT-5 can provide accurate overall data, it overly relies on a single source, lacks detailed protocol-level breakdowns, and tends to require users to "keep asking" to obtain complete information; whereas Perplexity Finance, although comprehensive in citations, has limited analytical dimensions and lacks in-depth interpretations of revenue drivers, industry structure, and forward-looking significance.

Himanshu Tyagi, co-founder of Sentient and professor at the Indian Institute of Science, stated: "In the crypto industry, the cost of an AI providing a wrong answer can be extremely high. If a Coinbase user queries the unlocking schedule of a certain token and receives fabricated content from AI, that poses a real monetary risk. We have built a research framework that the crypto industry deserves and made it open-source so that anyone can verify and improve it."

SERA-Crypto is based on Sentient's latest SERA (Semantic Embedding and Reasoning Agent) semantic embedding and reasoning agent architecture, specifically designed for the Web3 domain, covering blockchain principles, smart contracts, DeFi, DAOs, and token economics.

Key Advantages of SERA-Crypto Compared to General Models:

1. Temporal Relevance

Provides the latest data within 24–48 hours, while general models typically have delays exceeding 7 days—almost equivalent to being "outdated" in the highly volatile crypto market.

2. Research Depth

Delivers comprehensive token economic analysis, on-chain revenue data, and protocol risk assessments, whereas general models usually only provide superficial summaries.

3. Data Consistency

Ensures logical coherence between metrics and alignment with citations, effectively addressing issues of hallucination and contradictions.

4. Use Cases

Supports wallets, exchanges, data dashboards, etc., including:

• Real-time unlocking schedules

• Protocol risk alerts during swaps

• DAO proposal explanations

• Price volatility tracing

  All based on on-chain behavior.

5. Performance

Completes analysis within 30 seconds, at a cost that is only a fraction of closed-source solutions.

SERA-Crypto currently integrates over 50 tool endpoints—covering market data APIs, TVL trackers, derivatives subscription sources, etc., scheduled in parallel to achieve responses within 30 seconds.

The framework is developed based on real traffic from the Sentient community (290,000+ users, over 22 million queries) and is now live on Sentient Chat (chat.sentient.xyz), with phased open-sourcing starting next week.
