Guru Network held its weekly AMA featuring company CEO Evgeny and Tyler Leonard, VP of U-topia, to discuss product developments, partnerships, and upcoming initiatives.

Key Developments

  1. AI Trading Terminal Launch
    • The team is transitioning Dex.Guru into an AI-powered trading terminal with integrated LLM agents for analytics, trade execution, and portfolio management.
    • Features include:
      • Automated alerts for price movements, on-chain activity, and market trends.
      • AI-driven swaps via meta-aggregation APIs (across 18 chains).
      • Widget-based dashboards for real-time data visualization (e.g., Token Mind Share, Social Mind Share).
      • Seamless transaction approvals and slippage adjustments handled by AI.
  2. Guru Framework Progress
    • A modular automation layer combining AI, blockchain, and business process automation.
    • Enables community-built applications (e.g., chatbots, quests) and cross-chain interoperability.

Partnership with Utopia

  • Real-World Asset Integration:
    • Utopia’s catalog of 70,000+ real-world assets (e.g., travel bookings, gaming cards) will be accessible via Guru’s ecosystem.
    • Users will earn points convertible to Utopia’s native token for transactions, staking, or engagement.
  • Joint Rewards Program:
    • Monthly airdrops and multipliers for users interacting with both ecosystems.
    • Focus on gamification (e.g., social tasks, trading competitions) to drive sustainable user growth.

Product Updates

  • LLM Agent Enhancements:
    • New “actions window” in chat interfaces to trigger trades, subscriptions, or research.
    • Testing scheduled transactions (e.g., recurring swaps, portfolio rebalancing).
  • Quest System:
    • First in-app quests launching this week, rewarding users with Guru tokens for completing AI-driven challenges.

Marketing & Community Strategy

  • Cross-Promotion:
    • Collaborating with media partners (e.g., Kyle Chasse's Haven App) to integrate Guru’s AI tools.
    • Upgraded X/Twitter content to highlight use cases like token analytics and U-topia rewards.
  • Focus on Trust:
    • Prioritizing partnerships with infrastructure projects over short-term influencers to attract high-quality users.

Upcoming Initiatives

    • Overhauling liquidity architecture for Guru’s cross-chain bridge (details to be released next week).
  • Utopia AMA:
    • Follow-up session on February 12 to discuss tokenomics and airdrop mechanics.

Community Q&A Highlights
