DeFAI: Can the integration of AI and DeFi lead to a new wave of AI Agents?

1. DeFAI Concept Analysis

1.1 Definition of Decentralized Finance (DeFi)

DeFAI is the combination of AI and Decentralized Finance. Although AI-related concepts have gone through multiple rounds of hype, from AI computing power to AI Memes, from different technical architectures to different infrastructures, DeFAI is becoming a new breakthrough trend. Currently, DeFAI is mainly divided into three categories: AI abstraction, autonomous DeFi agents, and market analysis and forecasting.

Can the deep integration of DeFi and AI, DeFAI, give rise to a new wave of AI Agents?

1.2 DeFi operational mechanism

The core of the DeFAI system is the large language model (LLM), which operates through processes and technologies at multiple levels, from data collection to decision execution. According to research, most models follow the six workflows below:

  1. Data Collection: Obtain real-time data from on-chain, off-chain, and decentralized sources.

  2. Model Inference: Utilizing AI technologies such as supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, and natural language processing for complex reasoning and predictions.

  3. Decision Making: Based on data and reasoning results, use optimization engines and multi-agent systems to collaborate in making the best decisions.

  4. Custody and Operation: Custody of AI models through centralized or decentralized methods, and interaction with on-chain protocols.

  5. Interoperability: Achieve seamless interaction with multiple Decentralized Finance protocols and platforms through API integration and decentralized messaging.

  6. Wallet Management: Use MPC wallets or TEE technology to ensure secure key management and transaction execution.

1.3 The association between DeFi and the concept of "intention"

The vision of DeFAI is closely related to the concept of "intention." DeFAI aims to enable users to autonomously manage their portfolios and simplify participation in cryptocurrency market transactions through AI agents and platforms. This vision resonates with the "intention" concept proposed by Paradigm, which states that users only need to focus on the trading outcomes without needing to concern themselves with the specific execution process.

The ultimate form of large-scale blockchain applications in the future may be: AI Agent + Solver + Intent-Centric + DeFAI.

2. DeFAI Project Overview

Several DeFi-related projects have emerged in the current market, including:

  1. Griffain: An innovative platform that combines AI Agents and blockchain.
  2. Hey Anon: AI-driven Decentralized Finance protocol, simplifying user interaction.
  3. Orbit: A platform that simplifies the Decentralized Finance interface and operations.
  4. Neur: An open-source full-stack application designed specifically for the Solana ecosystem.
  5. Modenetwork: Ethereum Layer 2 AI x Decentralized Finance innovation hub platform.
  6. The Hive: A Solana DeFi platform integrating multiple AI models.
  7. Bankr: An AI-driven cryptocurrency companion.
  8. HotKeySwap: Provides AI-driven DEX aggregator and analysis tools.
  9. Gekko AI: An AI agent focused on predicting the market.
  10. ASYM: Provides AI-driven DEX aggregator and analytics tools.
  11. Wayfinder Foundation: All-chain interactive AI tool.
  12. Slate: General AI agent connection infrastructure layer.
  13. Cod3x: No-code development tool for building automated Decentralized Finance strategy agents.
  14. Almanak: An AI Agent with self-learning capabilities.
  15. HIERO: A multi-chain smart tool that supports natural language commands.

3. The Development Direction of AI Agents

The financial direction of AI Agent is mainly divided into two paths: GameFAI and Decentralized Finance.

3.1 GameFAI

Representative projects such as M3 (Metaverse Makers), composed of artists and the open-source hacker community. However, the main challenge faced by GameFAI is the long development cycle and market validation. Even in the Web2 market, truly successful AI games have yet to emerge.

3.2 Decentralized Finance

Currently, the DeFAI projects with the highest market capitalization include GRIFFAIN, ANON, OLAS, and GRIFT, among others. Among them, the combined market capitalization of GRIFFAIN and ANON accounts for 37.29% of the overall market capitalization of DeFAI.

GRIFFAIN is built on Solana and offers features such as wallet generation and fast transactions. Hey Anon adopts a multi-chain model, supporting multiple public chains, and its founder Daniele's personal influence has brought significant attention to the project.

The deep integration of DeFi and AI, can DeFAI give rise to a new wave of AI Agents?

4. Conclusion

The rise of DeFAI aligns with the strong financial attributes of blockchain. Whether it's GameFAI or DeFAI, both exhibit tremendous market potential. GameFAI may continue the concept of the metaverse, utilizing AI to manage virtual assets and economic systems. DeFAI, on the other hand, needs to shift from emotional speculation to actual value creation.

In the future, the success of AI Agents cannot solely rely on Meme issuance, but must provide substantial Decentralized Finance returns. The ultimate outcome of market competition is worth looking forward to, as the winning projects will open up new possibilities for the integration of blockchain and AI.
