Herd is building a collaborative terminal (coterminal) for contracts that allows users to work with agents to compose existing onchain contracts into offchain and onchain outputs. Herd enables users and their team (human or AI) to search, understand, and act together.

About Herd
Herd is a collaborative terminal project focused on blockchain contract interaction. Its core product, "coterminal," aims to solve the high barriers to understanding and operating complex on-chain contracts for developers and users. The platform allows users to work collaboratively with AI agents to search, parse, and interpret existing smart contracts, and generate off-chain or on-chain outputs, thereby simplifying the processes of contract invocation, testing, and integration. Herd positions itself as a bridge connecting human intent with on-chain code, enhancing the efficiency and accessibility of blockchain development. Currently, the project is in its early stages with limited public information. In the past six months, no major version updates or ecosystem cooperation have been disclosed, and the actual product implementation remains to be observed.
Herd was founded by Andrew Hong, a former Dune Analytics member, positioned as a collaborative contract terminal for DeFi. The project completed a $1.8 million Pre-Seed funding round led by Semantic Ventures, with participation from Archetype and Hardi Meybaum.
Herd aims to solve the problem of opaque on-chain contract data by building a human-readable contract interaction terminal that enables users and AI agents to collaboratively search, understand, and author on-chain contracts. The platform launched three core components: Explorer (a human-readable Etherscan alternative), DoubleClick (real-time balance sheet graphs for tokens/vaults), and Herd MCP (a resource for AI agent workflows).
It currently supports Ethereum and Base networks, offering multiple access methods including CLI, TypeScript SDK, and MCP server. Its long-term significance lies in advancing the DeFi space from "transparent but unreadable" to "truly understandable."
Major progress in the past six months: launched Herd MCP, bringing block explorer capabilities to AI agents on Ethereum and Base, covering contracts, transactions, wallets, role/permission analysis for onchain due diligence and validation. Released DoubleClick (private beta), turning tokens/vaults into asset-liability balance sheet graphs with recursive breakdown of underlying positions and managers to trace contagion risk. Launched Herd Actions (HAL) for batch-generating calldata and durable transaction records. Partnered with DeFi teams such as Steakhouse and Chaos Labs.
Future roadmap: use AI agents to continuously maintain token/protocol balance sheet graphs, with metrics such as LCR and CARR; develop custom risk models with design partners; expand access to DoubleClick and MCP, offering beta invites to token issuers; explore modular onchain simulation and transaction tools.
