Manual handoffs slow Web3 teams down. Smart contract automation brings a DevSecOps mindset to Solidity: automatically compile on save, trigger audits on success, and deploy in a single guided flow. This post shows how Chaingent AI implements that pipeline so you can ship faster without compromising security.
What we mean by smart contract automation
Smart contract automation is the practice of codifying your delivery steps—generation, compilation, security checks, and deployment—so they run predictably and repeatedly. In Chaingent AI, that translates to:
- AI‑assisted authoring and edits in a Monaco editor
- Queue‑backed compilation with configured solc settings (version, optimizer, runs, EVM target)
- Automatic security audits after successful builds, with severity grouping and a security score
- One‑click deployment to EVM networks with constructor args and explorer links
- Full project history: chat, versions, compile logs, audit reports, and deployments
The automation loop
- Write or modify code using the AI smart contract builder
- Save changes → the platform records a new version
- Compile with pinned settings and capture artifacts (ABI, bytecode, gas estimates)
- Auto‑audit on success; review findings by severity (CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW/INFO)
- Fix findings, re‑compile, re‑audit
- Deploy when you’re green, then track status and history
Why this matters for teams
- Consistency: Every change follows the same path (no skipped steps)
- Speed: Compile and audit jobs run in a scalable worker queue with retries
- Traceability: Per‑version evidence for reviews, audits, and incident response
- Confidence: Security scoring and recommendations reduce the unknowns before mainnet
Step‑by‑step inside Chaingent AI
1) Author with AI assistance
Start from a natural‑language prompt or paste existing Solidity. Ask the AI to scaffold modules, refactor functions, or implement access control.
Tips:
- Keep prompts specific (e.g., “ERC‑20 with permit and pausability; ownable roles”).
- Use incremental edits; the conversation history is stored with your project.
2) Save and compile with pinned settings
Click Save, then Compile. The compile job includes:
- Compiler version (e.g., 0.8.20) extracted from your code or set explicitly
- Optimizer enabled with runs (e.g., 200)
- EVM version (e.g., london)
Outputs include ABI, bytecode, optional source maps, and gas estimates. Warnings and errors are surfaced inline.
3) Auto‑audit after success
On a successful compilation, Chaingent AI triggers security analysis and returns:
- Findings grouped by severity (CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW/INFO)
- Human‑readable executive summary
- Overall security score
- Recommendations per issue
Use the results to prioritize fixes. Re‑compile to re‑run audits until you’re satisfied.
4) Deploy in one click
Connect your wallet, choose a network, pass constructor args, and deploy. The app tracks pending transactions, captures addresses and hashes, and deep‑links to the appropriate block explorer.
5) Track everything
Project history keeps:
- Chat history (what changed and why)
- Versioned Solidity code and compile artifacts
- Audit reports and scores
- Deployment records (status, network, addresses, hashes)
Governance and compliance benefits
- Repeatability: The same gated flow for every release
- Evidence: Timestamped artifacts and audit logs per version
- Separation of concerns: AI authoring, compile/audit workers, and deployment UI
Best practices for smart contract automation
- Pin compiler and EVM settings per project to reduce drift
- Treat warnings as work items, not noise
- Re‑audit after material changes—especially around access controls, math, and upgradeability
- Keep constructor parameters simple and validated
- Use testnets to validate deployment steps and wallet permissions
Who this is for
- Teams adopting a blockchain development platform to standardize delivery
- Builders looking for ai smart contract development without losing governance
- Projects that want smart contract automation across compile, audit, and deploy
Get started
Create a project, describe your contract, and follow the Save → Compile → Audit → Deploy flow. You’ll have a repeatable pipeline—and cleaner releases—within minutes.
