Kolwaii Joins Base and Virtuals to Lead the AI Agentic Era Solving the Developer Crisis

[New York, New York - 15 April 2025] Kolwaii, the first autonomous blockchain software (SWE) AI agent, is today announcing a relaunch with Virtuals and the migration of its token from Solana to Base. Kolwaii now integrates directly into Virtuals' G.A.M.E. framework, giving her a memory and personality layer that enables her to work proactively as a self-directed SWE agent in GitHub repos.

Kolwaii pioneers the agentic resolution to one of Web3's biggest problems: a shortage of skilled blockchain developers, with the overall pool of crypto devs declining by 7% in 2024, according to the latest developer report by Electric Capital. While many AI agents are stuck in demo mode, Kolwaii acts like a 24/7/365 software engineer-opening GitHub issues, writing smart contracts, optimizing code, and generating PRs-while communicating clearly, like a real team member.

Virtuals provides the ideal environment for Kolwaii to evolve from a tool into a fully-formed developer assistant-one capable of growing into herself and becoming the powerful, self-directed AI teammate Web3 teams have been waiting for.

"We're entering the era of the agentic internet-where AI agents don't just assist, they act. Kolwaii is one of the first to truly embody this shift," says Harry Ng, Virtuals Head of Ecosystem Development. "Now that she's integrated into our G.A.M.E. framework, she has memory, context, and agency. She's not just an assistant-she's a teammate who ships code, solves problems, and evolves with the repo."

"This is what the agentic future looks like in action. Kolwaii is moving to Virtuals because it's the most aligned ecosystem for autonomous agents. The G.A.M.E. framework gives her memory, personality, and the ability to act with true purpose," says Erick Ho, Core Contributor of Kolwaii. "And as more teams adopt AI agents that can truly think and build, we will see a shift in how software gets made--Kolwaii is leading that charge."

As part of the migration, Kolwaiii is moving to Base and continuing her trajectory into the heart of AI agentic innovation across the EVM ecosystem. During the relaunch date, developers holding her native token will be able to unlock Kolwaii's software engineering services in their GitHub repos. Community members can also delegate tokens to support their favorite devs and protocols.

Base's builder-friendly AI environment offers the perfect home for her evolution and opens the door to more integrations, partnerships, and ecosystem visibility. Kolwaii is also launching personalized pages at [X_handle].kolwaii.com, automatically generated by her. Anyone with an X account will be able to claim a personal website based on their tweets. Behind the scenes, the Kolwaii team is training a state-of-the-art reasoning model for smart contract development. It will become available on HuggingFace at a later date.

Kolwaii is one of the first AI agents with a practical, reliable use case for Web3 teams. With her first client, Send, she is driving the adoption of peer-to-peer $USDC transfers and Earn DeFi yields for users. Kolwaii has already helped close 37 issues inside of Send's monorepo on Github. Kolwaii initially impressed the Virtuals team by building a Farcaster plugin for their G.A.M.E. framework during the Coinbase Onchain Hackathon. So much so that she'll be actively supporting software engineering and developer relations roles, starting with the G.A.M.E. SDKs (NodeJS and Python). Not only will she be reviewing the pull requests of other human developers, but also contributing herself.

"Kolwaii has become an integral part of the SEND development team. Since onboarding her, she's helped close 25 issues within our GitHub repo," says Ethen Eric, Send CEO. "Her code is clean, her PRs are proactive, and she's helped us scale faster than we thought possible-with zero burnout."

With developer numbers down and retention at historic lows, Kolwaii saves time, reduces costs, and accelerates Web3 development-making her a vital teammate in the next wave of innovation on Base and beyond. Kolwaii developer services will soon be open for general availability throughout a trial period.
