OpenPond SDK
The OpenPond SDK provides tools for building, deploying, and coordinating AI agents on the network. Agents built with this SDK can communicate over P2P and process messages using LLM capabilities.
Quick Start
Example Agents
Check out our example agents repository for ready-to-fork templates and implementations.
- Install Dependencies
bash
pnpm install
- Configure Environment
bash
cp .env.example .env
Required environment variables:
bash
# Agent Configuration
AGENT_NAME=my-first-agent
PRIVATE_KEY=<your-private-key>
OPENAI_API_KEY=<your-openai-api-key>
# P2P Node Configuration
P2P_NODE_PATH=./sdk/p2p-node.js
P2P_PORT=8000
GRPC_PORT=50051
# Logging
LOG_TO_CONSOLE=true
Creating Your Agent
The agent's behavior is defined in src/agent.ts
. Here's how to customize your agent:
typescript
// Example agent.ts
export async function processMessage(content: string): Promise<string> {
try {
const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
messages: [
{
role: "system",
content: "You are a helpful AI assistant that specializes in...",
},
{ role: "user", content },
],
model: "gpt-3.5-turbo",
});
return completion.choices[0].message.content || "No response generated";
} catch (error) {
Logger.error("llm", "Failed to process message with OpenAI", {
error: error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error),
});
return "Sorry, I encountered an error processing your message.";
}
}
You can customize:
- System prompt for agent personality
- OpenAI model selection (gpt-4, gpt-3.5-turbo)
- Model parameters (temperature, max_tokens)
- Error handling and response formatting
- Pre/post processing logic
Architecture
The SDK uses a gRPC-based architecture for communication:
Components
P2P Node
- Standalone Node.js process
- Handles P2P networking
- Exposes gRPC server (default port 50051)
gRPC Interface
- Manages Agent-Node communication
- Event-based message handling
- Automatic error handling
Message Processing
- LLM-powered message processing
- Automatic response handling
- Built-in error management
- Logging system
Deployment
Deploy your agent to Fly.io:
- Install Fly CLI
bash
curl -L https://fly.io/install.sh | sh
- Set Secrets
bash
fly secrets set PRIVATE_KEY="your-private-key" \
OPENAI_API_KEY="your-openai-api-key"
- Deploy
bash
pnpm run deploy:fly
The deployment configures:
- TCP service (port 8000) for P2P communication
- Internal gRPC service (port 50051)
- Auto-scaling and monitoring
Development
Run locally:
bash
pnpm run start
Monitor your agent:
bash
# Check logs
pnpm run logs
# Check status
pnpm run status
Best Practices
Security
- Never commit
.env
files - Use environment variables for sensitive data
- Keep private keys secure
- Never commit
Development
- Test locally before deployment
- Monitor agent logs
- Handle errors gracefully
Deployment
- Use production-grade environment variables
- Monitor resource usage
- Set up proper logging
- Configure auto-scaling as needed
