Installation

The Paradox Framework is a Python-based modular framework designed for deploying, interacting with, and managing DeFi agents, Solscan analytics, and AI models. The framework also supports posting to Discord, Telegram, or Twitter and can be managed through Discord or Telegram. This guide will walk you through the installation process.

1

Prerequisites

Before installing and using the Paradox Framework, ensure you have the following:

Python

Install the latest version of Python (3.8 or higher). You can download it from the Python Official Website. After installation, confirm the version using:

Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (Linux/Mac):

python --version

If python doesn’t work on Windows, try:

py --version

If the command returns a version number (e.g., Python 3.10.6), Python is installed correctly.

Pip

Pip, the Python package manager, comes with Python. Verify the installation by running:

pip --version

If it returns a version (e.g., pip 21.2.4), Pip is ready to use.

PyCharm

Download and install PyCharm as the preferred development environment for working with the Paradox Framework.

Dependencies

To ensure the Paradox Framework runs correctly, install the required dependencies directly in your IDE. These libraries handle blockchain interactions, AI processing, and data analysis.

Core Dependencies

Paradox relies on essential libraries to interact with blockchain networks, manage API requests, and handle environment variables. Install the following:

pip install requests web3 python-dotenv

AI & Machine Learning Dependencies

The framework includes proprietary transformers, but PyTorch is required for AI processing. Install based on your system:

For CPU-only:

pip install torch torchvision torchaudio

For GPU acceleration with CUDA:

pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118

Data Handling & Utilities

Paradox processes and analyzes blockchain data using these libraries:

pip install pandas numpy scikit-learn

Web & API Frameworks

Paradox uses FastAPI for the backend and Uvicorn to run the API server. Install them with:

pip install fastapi uvicorn[standard]

Database Management (Optional)

If you need to store blockchain data, install SQLAlchemy for database integration:

pip install sqlalchemy

Installing All Dependencies at Once

To install everything in one step, run:

pip install requests web3 python-dotenv torch torchvision torchaudio pandas numpy scikit-learn fastapi uvicorn[standard] sqlalchemy

After installation, the framework will be ready for use.

Downloading the Framework

Clone the Paradox Framework repository and navigate to the project directory.

clone https://github.com/Paradox-Framework/Paradox.git
cd Paradox

Once inside the directory, ensure all dependencies are installed before proceeding
