Compound Agents and Workflows

1. Role in the REVOX Ecosystem

REVOX is not just a collection of independent agents - it is an orchestration system. Compound Agents represent the next level of intelligence: they are assembled from Primitive Agents, Plugins, and Context Knowledge into workflows that can accomplish complex, multi-step objectives.

Workflows provide the blueprint for how these components interact. This transforms the ecosystem from a set of isolated functions into a flexible, composable network capable of adapting to both developer-defined logic and user-driven prompts.

2. Architecture of Workflows

• Domain-Specific Language (DSL)

  • A lightweight scripting framework that allows developers to define agent interactions with precision.

  • Supports branching logic, loops, conditional triggers, and parallel execution.

  • Example: A developer writes a workflow that monitors ETH gas fees every 10 seconds and only triggers swaps when network cost is below a set threshold.

• Prompt-Based Assembly

  • For non-technical users, workflows can be created by simply describing goals in natural language.

  • The system interprets the prompt, maps it to relevant agents and plugins, and builds the workflow automatically.

  • Example: A user types “Alert me when Uniswap liquidity for REX/USDT drops below $1M and recommend an alternative pool.”

• Composability as a Core Principle

  • Workflows allow simple blocks to be chained, nested, or reused.

  • A Compound Agent can itself be reused as a building block inside a larger workflow, creating hierarchical systems.

  • This composability ensures scalability: small, well-tested modules can be continuously recombined into novel solutions.

3. Practical Examples

• DeFi Liquidation Guard

  • Workflow: Wallet Agent + Token Price Plugin + Prediction Agent.

  • Function: Continuously monitors loan collateral on Aave. If the health factor approaches 1.1, the workflow triggers an alert, calculates repayment options, and executes a partial repayment if approved by the user.

• Cross-Chain Arbitrage Agent

  • Workflow: Ticker Agent + Chain RPC Plugin (BSC & Arbitrum) + Wallet Agent.

  • Function: Detects price gaps between DEXs on different chains. Executes a two-legged swap if price differential >2% and estimated gas fees <0.5% of trade size.

  
• DAO Proposal Monitor

  • Workflow: Context Knowledge (Governance Archive) + Etherscan Plugin + Sentiment Plugin.

  • Function: Tracks new DAO proposals, summarizes historical context, checks Twitter sentiment, and delivers a digest report to the user’s Web Extension dashboard.

  
• E-Commerce Shopping Agent

  • Workflow: SKU Knowledge Base + Location Plugin + Payment Plugin.

  • Function: Finds the cheapest vendor for a specified product, compares shipping times to the user’s location, and automates checkout with stored wallet credentials.

• Research Automation

  • Workflow: Google Search Plugin + Context Knowledge (whitepapers) + Chart Agent.

  • Function: Gathers latest AI+blockchain papers, extracts methodology sections, compares with known models in Context Knowledge, and visualizes innovation trends.

4. Advantages of Workflows

• For Developers

  • Fine-grained control with DSL, enabling reproducible, testable, and scalable automation.

  • Modular design reduces duplication - tested building blocks can be reused in new workflows.

• For Users

  • Natural language prompts lower the barrier: powerful workflows can be created without coding.

  • Intuitive UI integration via the REVOX Web Extension allows oversight, quick edits, and visualization of workflow execution.
