Understand DeFAI in 5 Minutes
20 Jan 2025
DeFAI, a fusion of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), represents a significant evolution in on-chain transactions powered by AI agents. While AI agents across various domains could theoretically perform on-chain transactions, such as trading or investment DAO agents like ai16z, VaderAI, and $TRUST, DeFAI consensually focuses on copilot AI agents. These agents aim to simplify complex on-chain activities, assist users in executing sophisticated strategies, and offer practical applications to enhance user experiences.
The vision for DeFAI is ambitious and prompts debate about its potential adoption, particularly whether a meaningful number of users will rely on AI to manage intricate DeFi transactions. However, the addressable market is vast, fueled by the growth of cryptocurrency adoption. Platforms that provide seamless, reliable, and error-free user experiences while maintaining strong user retention are poised to capture immense value.
DeFi protocols will need to integrate plugin support for these copilot agents to avoid losing marketshares, which will increase the deterministic of AI copilot agent performance. Utilising alpha-generating agents such as aixbt and Three Sigma will drive the growth of AI-powered on-chain activities. This evolution underscores the importance of users exploring and engaging with emerging protocols to identify those likely to capture market share and for investors to identify those poised to capture the majority market share and deliver value to their corresponding protocol tokens.
 
Below is a snapshot of the current development landscape for DeFAI protocols.
