What is pliro?

Pliro is a crypto wallet assistant that lives entirely inside Telegram. Instead of using a browser extension or a separate app to manage cryptocurrency, you chat with a Telegram bot in plain language, asking it to check your balance, send funds, or view your transaction history. When you first message the bot, it automatically creates two wallets for you: one for EVM-compatible blockchains such as Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Optimism, and Celo, and one for Solana. These are self-custodial wallets, meaning the private keys, the secret codes that prove ownership, are never stored on Pliro's own servers. Key management is handled by Privy's infrastructure, and Pliro itself never has direct access to them. When you type a natural language message, the bot routes it through a LangChain ReAct agent, an AI reasoning loop powered by Groq's API running the Llama 3.3 70B model. The agent figures out what you want, calls the appropriate tool, such as fetching your portfolio from Zerion's API or sending a transaction via Privy, and returns a plain-English response. Quick button shortcuts for common actions like checking your portfolio or viewing gas prices skip the AI entirely for faster responses. Sending funds has a built in safety step: the bot always shows a preview with the estimated gas fee before executing anything, and requires you to tap a confirmation button before the transaction goes through, so the AI agent never sends funds on its own without that explicit human approval. The backend is built with Python and FastAPI, stores wallet mappings and user records in PostgreSQL managed with Alembic migrations, and targets developers interested in AI agents that can safely operate real crypto wallets.
