Use Cases

Pre-chain trading advantages

See how traders and developers use AI agents to optimize gas costs, protect against MEV, and time transactions perfectly.

Gas Cost Optimization for Large Swaps

A DeFi trader prepares a significant token swap and wants optimal gas pricing. They ask the AI Agent for current Ethereum gas recommendations. The agent queries Blocknative's Gas Platform API and returns predictions at multiple confidence levels. The trader selects 80% confidence to balance speed and cost, saving on fees.

Whale Transaction Alerts for Trading Signals

A trading desk monitors known whale wallets for market signals. They configure the AI Agent to watch specific addresses via Blocknative's mempool subscription. When a whale submits a large swap to Uniswap, the agent alerts Slack instantly. The desk reacts before the transaction confirms.

Transaction Confirmation Monitoring

A developer deployed a critical contract update and needs status visibility. They provide the transaction hash to the AI Agent for tracking. The agent monitors Blocknative's transaction lifecycle events, reporting state changes from pending through confirmation. The developer knows the moment deployment succeeds.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are Blocknative's gas predictions?

Blocknative's machine learning model predicts gas prices based on real-time mempool analysis, not just historical data. Predictions update every 1 second on paid plans, every 5 seconds on free tier. The model provides confidence levels from 50% to 99% for probability of next-block inclusion.

Can the agent monitor transactions on multiple chains?

Yes. Blocknative supports 40+ networks including Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, and Binance Smart Chain. The agent queries any supported chain's gas prices or mempool data with a single API call specifying the network.

What Blocknative credentials does Tars need?

Tars accepts a Blocknative API key in the Authorization header. Free keys enable basic gas queries with rate limits of 6 requests per second. Paid keys unlock faster refresh rates, mempool streaming, and historical data access.

Does Tars store Blocknative mempool data?

No. Tars queries Blocknative's infrastructure in real-time. Gas predictions, pending transactions, and mempool events stream live from their global node network. Your transaction data remains within Blocknative's systems.

Can the agent help with EIP-1559 fee calculation?

Yes. For Type 2 transactions, the agent retrieves both maxPriorityFeePerGas (the miner tip) and maxFeePerGas from Blocknative. It calculates optimal values based on your urgency level, ensuring transactions confirm without overpaying.

How is this different from checking Etherscan gas tracker?

Etherscan shows historical averages. Blocknative via Tars provides predictive gas prices based on current mempool state with confidence intervals. You get forward-looking estimates through chat instead of manual web lookups.

Can the agent detect potential MEV attacks?

Yes. By monitoring mempool for your pending transactions and surrounding activity, the agent identifies potential sandwich attacks or front-running attempts. Combine with MEV protection services like Flashbots for full defense.

What happens when a tracked transaction fails?

The agent reports transaction lifecycle events including reverts and failures. Blocknative provides revert reasons when available, helping debug why transactions failed without manually inspecting blockchain state.
