๐Ÿš€ The Future of DeFi Automation: Brahma ConsoleKit + Euler Finance on Base
Hey DeFi fam! ๐Ÿ‘‹
Just finished diving deep into something that's about to change how we think about automation in DeFi. Let me break down this game-changing integration between Brahma ConsoleKit and Euler Finance on Base.
๐ŸŽฏ What's the Big Deal?
We're moving away from the old-school EOA (your basic wallet) interactions toward policy-driven, autonomous execution. Think of it like hiring a super-smart assistant that can manage your DeFi positions 24/7, but with ironclad rules that prevent them from ever running away with your funds. ๐Ÿ”
๐Ÿ—๏ธ The Double Sub-Account Architecture
Here's where it gets spicy. This integration uses TWO layers of sub-accounts working together:
Layer 1: Brahma Sub-Accounts (The Custody Layer) ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ
  • This is your smart contract wallet that's governed by CODE, not just a private key
  • YOU keep ownership and withdrawal rights
  • But you delegate execution rights to an automated agent (the "Executor")
  • The beautiful part? The Executor literally CANNOT move your funds unless the on-chain policy says it's cool
Layer 2: Euler Sub-Accounts (The Risk Layer) โš–๏ธ
  • Each address can control up to 256 separate sub-accounts
  • Each one is treated as completely isolated for collateral and liquidation purposes
  • Want to run a degen leverage play AND a safe blue-chip position? Now they won't contaminate each other
The Magic Combo: Your Brahma Sub-Account owns the Euler position. The agent can rebalance your portfolio, but the Brahma policy layer acts as a bouncerโ€”no sketchy moves allowed. ๐Ÿ’ช
๐Ÿ”ง The Technical Reality (For the Builders)
If you're looking to build with this stack, here's what you need to know:
The Challenge: The Brahma SDK doesn't have pre-built Euler functions yet. No simple consoleKit.euler.deposit() calls. You've gotta roll your own using the Executable schema.
The Executable Schema is your universal translator for any EVM transaction:
  • callType: Always use 0 (CALL) for external protocols
  • to: Your target contract (Euler modules or eToken addresses)
  • value: Usually 0 for ERC-20 stuff
  • data: The encoded function call (deposit, borrow, etc.)
Your Basic Workflow:
  1. Token approval (let Euler spend your tokens) โœ…
  2. Market entry (enable assets as collateral) โœ…
  3. Asset movement (deposit or borrow) โœ…
Key SDK Details:
  • Use brahma-console-kit (NOT brahma-templates-sdkโ€”that's for client-side stuff)
  • Network: Base L2 (Chain ID 8453)
  • You'll need a Brahma API Key to access the relayer infrastructure
๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Security: The Policy Engine is Your Best Friend
This is the SECRET SAUCE that makes everything safe. The Policy Engine defines the "permissible execution space" for your agent.
Critical Security Parameters:
hopAddresses (The Allowlist) ๐Ÿšจ
  • THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
  • Every Euler Protocol address must be explicitly listed here
  • If it's not on the list? Transaction gets rejected before it even touches the blockchain
  • This is your nuclear-level protection
inputTokens:
  • Whitelist of assets your agent can touch (USDC, WETH, etc.)
limitPerExecution:
  • Your circuit breaker
  • Caps how much can move in a single transaction
  • Prevents catastrophic bot malfunctions from nuking your portfolio
The Validation Flow (4-Step Security Dance):
  1. Draft: Executor creates the transaction payload
  2. Submit: Sends it to Brahma validation endpoint
  3. Receive: Brahma Guardrails check it against your policy and give a cryptographic signature if it passes
  4. Execute: Validated payload goes to the relayer for on-chain broadcast
Even if someone hacks your bot's infrastructure, they STILL can't bypass your on-chain policy. ๐Ÿ”’
๐Ÿค– The DeFAI Revolution (Why This Matters)
This isn't just about automationโ€”it's about AI agents managing your DeFi positions.
Imagine:
  • AI analyzing sentiment data, macro trends, and on-chain metrics
  • Making yield optimization decisions in real-time
  • BUT staying within strict boundaries you define (Bounded Agency)
Real-World Use Case: "Rekt SAFU" Accounts ๐Ÿš
  • Your Brahma agent constantly monitors Euler's state
  • Detects protocol exploits or anomalies
  • Automatically withdraws your funds to safety
  • All BEFORE you can even grab your phone
This is the evacuation helicopter you didn't know you needed.
โšก Why Base?
Running this on Base L2 instead of mainnet is crucial:
  • Keeps gas costs low enough for high-frequency automation
  • LTV rebalancing can happen frequently without burning profits
  • Liquidation protection becomes economically viable
๐Ÿ”‘ Recovery Mechanisms
Lost your Executor key? Script crashes? No problem.
Brahma has Account Recovery built in:
  • Funds automatically sweep to a pre-defined backup address
  • Kicks in after a specified period of inactivity
  • Your capital is never permanently locked due to technical failures
๐Ÿ“Š Quick Reference Specs
  • Network: Base L2 (Chain ID 8453)
  • Primary SDK: brahma-console-kit
  • Authentication: API Key + EOA Signer
  • Interaction Mode: CallType.CALL (0)
  • Euler Connection: Manual Executable construction (raw ABI encoding)
  • Security Model: Policy-bound with mandatory hopAddresses allowlisting
  • Automation Flow: Asynchronous Validation โ†’ Relayed Execution
๐ŸŽฌ Bottom Line
This integration represents a fundamental shift in how we interact with DeFi protocols. We're moving from "manually clicking buttons" to "defining policies and letting autonomous agents optimize within safe boundaries."
The double sub-account model (Brahma for custody + Euler for risk isolation) creates a stack that's both powerful and secure. And with Base keeping costs reasonable, we can finally run the kind of sophisticated automation strategies that were previously only available to institutions.
If you're building in this space or just curious about where DeFi automation is headed, this is the architecture to watch. ๐Ÿ‘€

Not financial advice. DYOR. Don't trust, verify. And for the love of Satoshi, audit your policies before deploying agents. ๐Ÿ™
