Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Fetch Latest Tweets

Start by configuring your agent to fetch the latest tweets from aixbt_agent and identify mentioned tickers. Use the Twitter plugin to:

• Retrieve tweets from the specified account.

• Extract tickers mentioned in the tweets.

• Log these tickers for later use.

Step 2: Analyze Tickers with Dexscreener

Use the Dexscreener plugin to search for the tickers and determine which blockchain they’re on:

• Query each ticker.

• Identify the blockchain associated with each token.

• Log the tokens and their respective chains.

Step 3: Filter for Base Chain Tokens

Focus on tokens available on Base:

• Filter the logged tickers to retain only those on Base.

• Retrieve the contract addresses for these tokens.

• Log the contract addresses for future operations.

Step 4: Check Wallet Balances

Configure your agent to:

• Check your wallet for balances of the Base chain tokens.

• Identify tokens that are not currently held in your wallet.

Step 5: Check ETH Balance

Ensure you have enough ETH for the transaction:

• Verify your wallet’s ETH balance.

• If the balance exceeds 0.001 ETH, proceed to the next step.

Step 6: Swap ETH for the Found Token

Execute the trade:

• Swap 0.001 ETH for the token that you don’t currently hold.

• Log the transaction hash as confirmation.

Step 7: Finish and Return Transaction Details

Complete the workflow by:

• Returning the transaction hash.

• Logging the process to ensure everything executed as intended.
