ElizaOs Plugin
I built the ElizaOs Plugin to provide decentralized data storage for AI agents using Irys. Before this plugin, many users were storing agent data on centralized systems like MongoDB or AWS, which made trust and data authenticity harder in some contexts. I designed and developed the plugin end-to-end myself to integrate with ElizaOS and give developers a verifiable persistence option. By storing actions and memory in a decentralized layer, agents become easier to trace and multi-agent swarm coordination becomes simpler. The project also aligned with a broader goal: promoting decentralized alternatives through practical tooling.
