🚀 The feature, motivation and pitch

Summary

Built a monitoring tool and analyzed 16 agent wallets on Base. Found significant transaction health issues that AgentKit developers should be aware of.

Findings

  • Average health score: 85/100 across 16 agents
  • Total waste: ~$918/month across all analyzed agents
  • 2 agents showing critical issues (25-56% failure rates)

Common Problems Observed

  1. Oversized gas limits - One agent showing 4.18% gas efficiency (setting limits ~20x higher than actual usage)
  2. Poor retry logic - Failed transactions not being retried appropriately
  3. Nonce management issues - Causing transaction conflicts

Impact

Agents using AgentKit are wasting significant funds on failed transactions and oversized gas allocations. This could be deterring adoption.

Recommendation

Consider adding guidance in AgentKit docs about:

  • Best practices for gas estimation
  • Recommended retry/fallback strategies
  • Transaction monitoring suggestions

Happy to share detailed data or collaborate on solutions. Built a monitoring tool specifically for this purpose.
