Ascend Workflows

Problem Statement

DescriptionWe are building a no-code Web3 automation platform on top of n8n, extending its powerful Web2 integrations into the Web3 world. This enables users to combine blockchain, AI, storage, oracles, and naming service nodes with the vast ecosystem of Web2 tools already supported by n8n — all through a drag-and-drop interface.Our platform eliminates the need to write repetitive glue code or manage complex ABIs, RPCs, or contract integrations. Non-coders and minimal-coders can now create production-grade Web3 workflows visually, while developers retain the option to export workflows into full code repos for further customization.Current Capabilities (Already Buildable): Pyth Oracle: Real-time price feeds to trigger onchain/offchain actions. AI Agents (Superintelligence.io / Fetch.ai): Analyze, classify, or make decisions on workflow data. ENS: Resolve human-readable names to Ethereum addresses, verify inputs, simplify workflows. 1inch Swap & Cross-Chain: Token swaps and bridging assets. Pyth Price feeds: Get yield feeds across chains The Graph: Fetch user activity, balances, or NFT ownership.Example Demo Workflow (Hackathon Participant Classification):Input: Participant ENS name, Ethereum address, or NFT/GitHub activity.Process: AI agent analyzes contribution data and classifies skill tier.Action: Store classification metadata in Walrus (optional) storage.Output: Dashboard displays participants with assigned tiers or badges.All of this is fully drag-and-drop, no manual coding required. Users define triggers, conditions, and actions visually.Future Scope: Rapid Code Export: Download a working repo for deployment or customization. Smart Contract Nodes: Drag-and-drop templates for ERC20, NFT minting, voting, staking, and swaps. Advanced AI Assistance: AI suggests nodes or auto-builds workflows from plain-language intent. Multi-Chain Automation: Seamless workflows across Ethereum, Polygon, Hedera, and more.In Short: A “No-Code Web3 Automation Builder” leveraging n8n’s extensive Web2 connectors to empower anyone to visually create smart, automated Web3 workflows that integrate AI agents, decentralized storage, oracles, ENS names, and cross-chain assets — bridging the Web2 and Web3 automation worlds.

Solution

How it’s madeOur platform leverages a drag-and-drop, node-based architecture built on top of n8n, which gives us immediate access to hundreds of Web2 integrations while enabling custom Web3 automation. Each workflow is composed of prebuilt nodes that handle specific tasks — fetching data, running AI logic, executing transactions, or storing outputs.Key technologies and integration details:ENS Lookup Node: Converts human-readable ENS names into wallet addresses for seamless wallet input.The Graph Node: Queries user activity, token balances, NFT ownership, and historical positions.Pyth Oracle Node: Provides live price feeds and yield metrics for portfolio valuation and risk scoring.AI Agent Node (Superintelligence.io / Fetch.ai): Processes data, classifies users or portfolios, and generates human-readable insights, e.g., “Your ETH position is down 8% this week. Risk: Medium.”1inch / Uniswap Nodes: Facilitate token swaps and cross-chain routing for yield optimization.Bridge Nodes: Move assets between Ethereum, Polygon, and Rootstock, enabling cross-chain automation.Walrus Storage Node: Persists snapshots, reports, and metadata via writeBlob or publishHttp for dashboards and historical records.Workflow orchestration:Users define triggers (ENS input, cron, NFT events), conditions (risk thresholds, yield comparisons), and actions (swap, bridge, mint badge, store metadata).Logic nodes evaluate conditions and branch workflows dynamically.All nodes are executed in a sandboxed environment with testnet simulation before mainnet deployment to ensure safety.Partner technology advantages:Leveraging n8n allowed us to rapidly prototype without building a new workflow engine, while giving access to Web2 tools for enhanced dashboards and data sources.Pyth provides trusted price feeds, 1inch/Uniswap enable instant swaps, and Walrus offers persistent decentralized storage — we didn’t need to reinvent these.Superintelligence AI adds a human-readable UX layer that turns raw onchain data into actionable insights.Notable hacky / clever elements:Combined ENS resolution + The Graph queries + AI agent in a single workflow, so users can input a name and immediately get a portfolio or participant classification report.Cross-chain auto-router compares yield rates in real time and executes multi-step actions (swap → bridge → deposit) without any manual intervention.All workflows are fully visual, yet exportable as production-ready code repos for developers to extend, bridging no-code and code-first users.Result: Users can create complex, multi-step DeFi or hackathon automation in minutes with zero coding, while still accessing robust Web2 and Web3 infrastructure. The architecture is modular, extensible, and safe for testnet/mainnet deployment.
