# LangGraph Integration

> Event-driven AI workflows and state machine orchestration with LangGraph on Nexis Appchain

## Overview

LangGraph integration enables complex, stateful AI workflows by leveraging on-chain events from the Nexis Agents and Tasks contracts. By indexing blockchain events, you can build sophisticated agent coordination systems with conditional execution, multi-agent collaboration, and automated verification flows.

## Key Events

### Agents Contract Events

The Agents contract emits several events that can trigger workflows:

<CodeGroup>
  ```solidity Event Definitions theme={null}
  event InferenceRecorded(
      uint256 indexed agentId,
      bytes32 indexed inferenceId,
      bytes32 indexed inputHash,
      bytes32 outputHash,
      bytes32 modelHash,
      uint256 taskId,
      address reporter,
      string proofURI
  );

  event InferenceAttested(
      bytes32 indexed inferenceId,
      uint256 indexed agentId,
      uint256 indexed taskId,
      address verifier,
      bool success,
      string uri
  );

  event ReputationAdjusted(
      uint256 indexed agentId,
      bytes32 indexed dimension,
      int256 newScore,
      string reason
  );

  event StakeSlashed(
      uint256 indexed agentId,
      address indexed asset,
      uint256 amount
  );
  ```

  ```typescript TypeScript Event Types theme={null}
  interface InferenceRecordedEvent {
    agentId: bigint;
    inferenceId: string;
    inputHash: string;
    outputHash: string;
    modelHash: string;
    taskId: bigint;
    reporter: string;
    proofURI: string;
    blockNumber: number;
    timestamp: number;
  }

  interface InferenceAttestedEvent {
    inferenceId: string;
    agentId: bigint;
    taskId: bigint;
    verifier: string;
    success: boolean;
    uri: string;
    blockNumber: number;
    timestamp: number;
  }

  interface ReputationAdjustedEvent {
    agentId: bigint;
    dimension: string;
    newScore: bigint;
    reason: string;
    blockNumber: number;
    timestamp: number;
  }
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Tasks Contract Events

```solidity theme={null}
event TaskCreated(
    uint256 indexed taskId,
    address indexed creator,
    address indexed asset,
    uint256 reward,
    uint256 bond,
    uint64 claimDeadline,
    uint64 completionDeadline,
    string metadataURI
);

event TaskClaimed(
    uint256 indexed taskId,
    uint256 indexed agentId,
    address indexed claimant,
    uint256 bond
);

event TaskSubmitted(
    uint256 indexed taskId,
    bytes32 inferenceId,
    address indexed submitter
);

event TaskCompleted(
    uint256 indexed taskId,
    uint256 indexed agentId,
    address indexed recipient,
    uint256 reward
);

event TaskDisputed(
    uint256 indexed taskId,
    uint256 indexed agentId,
    bytes32 inferenceId
);
```

## Advanced Workflow Patterns

### Multi-Agent Collaboration

```python theme={null}
from typing import List

class MultiAgentState(TypedDict):

def split_task_node(state: MultiAgentState) -> MultiAgentState:
    """Split task into subtasks for multiple agents."""
    print(f"Splitting task {state['task_id']} into {len(state['agents'])} subtasks")

    # Logic to divide task
    state['subtasks'] = divide_task(state['task_id'], len(state['agents']))

    return state

def distribute_subtasks_node(state: MultiAgentState) -> MultiAgentState:

        results.append({
            'agent_id': agent_id,
            'subtask': subtask,
            'result': result
        })

    state['results'] = results

def aggregate_results_node(state: MultiAgentState) -> MultiAgentState:
    """Aggregate results from all agents."""

    else:
        state['verification_status'] = 'failed'

    return state

# Build multi-agent workflow
multi_agent_workflow = StateGraph(MultiAgentState)

multi_agent_workflow.add_node("split_task", split_task_node)
multi_agent_workflow.add_node("distribute_subtasks", distribute_subtasks_node)

# Run multi-agent workflow
result = multi_agent_app.invoke({
    "task_id": 1,
    "agents": [12345, 12346, 12347],
    "subtasks": [],
    "results": [],
    "aggregated_result": {}
})
```

### Retry with Backoff

```python theme={null}
class RetryState(TypedDict):
    task_id: int
    agent_id: int
    input_data: dict
    attempt: int
    max_attempts: int
    backoff_seconds: int

    """Execute inference with retry logic."""
    state['attempt'] += 1
    print(f"Attempt {state['attempt']} of {state['max_attempts']}")

    try:
        # Execute inference
        output = run_model(state['input_data'])

        # Record inference

    return state

def check_retry_condition(state: RetryState) -> str:

def backoff_node(state: RetryState) -> RetryState:
    """Apply exponential backoff."""
    wait_time = state['backoff_seconds'] * (2 ** (state['attempt'] - 1))
    print(f"Backing off for {wait_time} seconds")
    time.sleep(wait_time)
    return state

# Build retry workflow
retry_workflow = StateGraph(RetryState)

retry_workflow.add_node("execute_with_retry", execute_with_retry_node)
retry_workflow.add_node("backoff", backoff_node)
retry_workflow.add_node("wait_verification", wait_verification_node)

retry_workflow.add_edge("max_attempts_reached", END)

retry_workflow.set_entry_point("execute_with_retry")

retry_app = retry_workflow.compile()
```

### Event-Driven Workflow

```python theme={null}
class EventDrivenState(TypedDict):
    listening: bool
    event_queue: List[dict]
    processed_events: List[str]

def listen_for_events_node(state: EventDrivenState) -> EventDrivenState:
    """Listen for blockchain events."""
    print("Listening for events...")

    # Get new events from indexer
    new_events = indexer.get_new_events()
    state['event_queue'].extend(new_events)

    print(f"Received {len(new_events)} new events")
    return state

def process_event_node(state: EventDrivenState) -> EventDrivenState:
    """Process next event in queue."""
    if not state['event_queue']:
        return state

    event = state['event_queue'].pop(0)
    print(f"Processing event: {event['type']}")

    # Route to appropriate handler
    if event['type'] == 'TaskCreated':
        handle_task_created(event)
    elif event['type'] == 'InferenceRecorded':
        handle_inference_recorded(event)
    elif event['type'] == 'InferenceAttested':
        handle_inference_attested(event)
    elif event['type'] == 'TaskCompleted':
        handle_task_completed(event)

    state['processed_events'].append(event['transactionHash'])
    return state

def check_queue(state: EventDrivenState) -> str:
    """Check if there are more events to process."""
    if state['event_queue']:
        return "process_event"
    elif state['listening']:
        return "listen_for_events"
    else:
        return END

# Build event-driven workflow
event_workflow = StateGraph(EventDrivenState)

event_workflow.add_node("listen_for_events", listen_for_events_node)
event_workflow.add_node("process_event", process_event_node)

event_workflow.add_conditional_edges(
    "listen_for_events",
    check_queue,
    {
        "process_event": "process_event",
        "listen_for_events": "listen_for_events",
        END: END
    }
)

event_workflow.add_conditional_edges(
    "process_event",
    check_queue,
    {
        "process_event": "process_event",
        "listen_for_events": "listen_for_events",
        END: END
    }
)

event_workflow.set_entry_point("listen_for_events")

event_app = event_workflow.compile()

# Run event-driven workflow
result = event_app.invoke({
    "listening": True,
    "event_queue": [],
    "processed_events": []
})
```

## Visualization

LangGraph workflows can be visualized using Mermaid diagrams:

```mermaid theme={null}
graph TD
    START([Start]) --> A[Claim Task]
    A --> B[Execute Inference]
    B --> C[Record Inference]
    C --> D[Wait Verification]
    D --> E{Verified?}
    E -->|Yes| F[Submit Work]
    E -->|No| G[Handle Error]
    F --> END([End])
    G --> END

    style START fill:#90EE90
    style END fill:#FFB6C1
    style E fill:#FFD700
    style F fill:#87CEEB
    style G fill:#FFA07A
```

## Best Practices

### State Management

<Tip>
  Keep state minimal and serializable. Store only essential data needed for workflow decisions.
</Tip>

```python theme={null}
# ✅ Good: Minimal state
class MinimalState(TypedDict):
    task_id: int
    status: str
    inference_id: str

# ❌ Bad: Storing large objects
class BadState(TypedDict):
    task_id: int
    full_model_weights: bytes  # Don't do this!
    entire_blockchain_history: List[dict]  # Way too much!
```

### Error Handling

<Warning>
  Always implement error handling nodes to gracefully handle failures.
</Warning>

```python theme={null}
def error_handler_node(state: WorkflowState) -> WorkflowState:
    """Central error handling."""
    error = state.get('error')

    # Log error
    logging.error(f"Workflow error: {error}")

    # Notify monitoring system
    send_alert(error)

    # Attempt recovery or cleanup
    if is_recoverable(error):
        state['should_retry'] = True
    else:
        state['should_terminate'] = True

    return state
```

### Performance Optimization

1. **Batch Processing**: Group multiple events together
2. **Async Operations**: Use async/await for I/O operations
3. **Caching**: Cache frequently accessed blockchain data
4. **Parallel Execution**: Run independent workflows concurrently

## Real-World Examples

### Automated Task Marketplace

```python theme={null}
class MarketplaceState(TypedDict):
    agent_id: int
    available_tasks: List[int]
    selected_task: int
    claim_success: bool

    """Scan for available tasks matching agent capabilities."""

    # Query tasks contract
    open_tasks = get_open_tasks()

    # Filter by agent capabilities
    agent_capabilities = get_agent_capabilities(state['agent_id'])
    matching_tasks = [
        task for task in open_tasks
        if task_matches_capabilities(task, agent_capabilities)
    ]

    # Sort by reward/effort ratio
    sorted_tasks = sorted(
        matching_tasks,
        key=lambda t: t['reward'] / estimate_effort(t),
        reverse=True
    )

    state['available_tasks'] = [t['taskId'] for t in sorted_tasks[:10]]
    print(f"Found {len(state['available_tasks'])} matching tasks")

    return state

def select_best_task_node(state: MarketplaceState) -> MarketplaceState:
    """Select the best task based on multiple factors."""
    if not state['available_tasks']:
        return state

    # Select task with highest expected value
    best_task = state['available_tasks'][0]
    state['selected_task'] = best_task

    print(f"Selected task {best_task}")
    return state

def attempt_claim_node(state: MarketplaceState) -> MarketplaceState:
    """Attempt to claim the selected task."""
    try:
        tx_hash = tasks.claim_task(state['selected_task'], state['agent_id'])
        w3.eth.wait_for_transaction_receipt(tx_hash)
        state['claim_success'] = True
        print(f"Successfully claimed task {state['selected_task']}")
    except Exception as e:
        state['claim_success'] = False
        print(f"Failed to claim task: {str(e)}")

    return state

# Build marketplace workflow
marketplace_workflow = StateGraph(MarketplaceState)

marketplace_workflow.add_node("scan_tasks", scan_tasks_node)
marketplace_workflow.add_node("select_best_task", select_best_task_node)
marketplace_workflow.add_node("attempt_claim", attempt_claim_node)

marketplace_workflow.add_edge("scan_tasks", "select_best_task")

def check_claim_result(state: MarketplaceState) -> str:
    if state['claim_success']:
        return "execute_task"
    elif state['available_tasks']:
        return "select_best_task"  # Try next task
    else:
        return "scan_tasks"  # Scan for new tasks

marketplace_workflow.add_conditional_edges(
    "attempt_claim",
    check_claim_result,
    {
        "execute_task": "execute_task",
        "select_best_task": "select_best_task",
        "scan_tasks": "scan_tasks"
    }
)

marketplace_workflow.set_entry_point("scan_tasks")

marketplace_app = marketplace_workflow.compile()
