Want to learn how to interact directly with smart contracts without relying on a front-end UI? In this video, I show you exactly how I use AI to build custom scripts that connect to DeFi protocols on the Flare and Base networks—completely from scratch. We walk through using Cursor IDE and Claude to analyze blockchain transaction logs and automatically write the code needed to bridge assets via Stargate Finance and deposit/withdraw on Kinetic. If you’ve ever run into geo-blocks on front-end websites, learning how to talk directly to the smart contracts is the ultimate workaround. What you’ll learn in this video: Setting up a GitHub repo and Cursor IDE for Web3 scripting. Crucial Security: How to use a .gitignore and .env file so you NEVER leak your private keys. Extracting transaction logs from the Flare Explorer to train your AI. Creating an automated bridge script for FXRP between Flare and Base networks. Writing scripts to deposit and withdraw assets from lending protocols like Kinetic. ⚠️ SECURITY WARNING: Never use your main wallet for testing scripts! Always create a burner wallet, fund it with just enough gas for testing, and delete it when you are done. Never commit your private keys to GitHub. Tools Used: Cursor IDE: The AI-powered code editor used to write the scripts. Stargate Finance: For cross-chain bridging. Kinetic: For lending and borrowing on Flare. Flare Explorer: To grab the raw transaction data. If you found this helpful, let me know what protocols you want me to reverse-engineer with AI next!
