While our team built Daige, we tried every major Web3 agent framework and ran into well-known issues most of them have:
Rigid & Complex: Too many layers of abstraction, making them hard to debug and extend.
Workflow-Focused: They emphasize workflows over autonomous, goal-solving agents.
Overgrown & Hard to Customize: Production often requires rewriting the whole framework from scratch.
Weak MVP Focus: They can spin up basic agents quickly but struggle with truly powerful ones.
We knew creating a world-class agent framework from scratch would take serious effort and R&D. That’s why our solution is built on smolagents from Hugging Face—a lightweight, powerful library that enables autonomous agents.
We believe that agent development requires a robust, vertically integrated stack — a strategy proven by successful ecosystems such as Swift & iOS and Rust/Anchor & Solana.
Following this principle, Galadriel’s framework is highly optimized for and tightly integrated with Galadriel L1.The framework’s design and development are guided by the following core principles:
Simplicity - Minimal abstractions, with ~1,000 lines of agent logic.
Autonomous Agents - Enables agents to plan and control their own workflows.
