### 🚀 The feature, motivation and pitch
## Summary
Built a monitoring tool and analyzed 16 agent wallets on Base. Found significant transaction health issues that AgentKit developers should be aware of.
## Findings
- Average health score: 85/100 across 16 agents
- Total waste: ~$918/month across all analyzed agents
- 2 agents showing critical issues (25-56% failure rates)
## Common Problems Observed
1. **Oversized gas limits** - One agent showing 4.18% gas efficiency (setting limits ~20x higher than actual usage)
2. **Poor retry logic** - Failed transactions not being retried appropriately
3. **Nonce management issues** - Causing transaction conflicts
## Impact
Agents using AgentKit are wasting significant funds on failed transactions and oversized gas allocations. This could be deterring adoption.
## Recommendation
Consider adding guidance in AgentKit docs about:
- Best practices for gas estimation
- Recommended retry/fallback strategies
- Transaction monitoring suggestions
Happy to share detailed data or collaborate on solutions. Built a monitoring tool specifically for this purpose.
