DeFAI: New Opportunities for AI Agents

At the beginning of January, AI Agent projects on the blockchain were booming, with several projects' market values skyrocketing. However, with the occurrence of certain events, the liquidity of AI Agent tokens quickly disappeared, leading to a significant drop in market value. Nevertheless, the story of the AI Agent sector is not over yet, and there is still potential for growth.

Overview of AI Agent Section

AI Agent is an intelligent entity that can act autonomously, execute tasks, and interact with external tools. It is not just a chatbot; it also needs to manage its own state, call various tools, and execute tasks safely. In the Web3 field, AI Agent projects mainly include types such as launch platforms, frameworks, infrastructure, agents, and DeFAI.

Launch Platform

The launch platform allows users to create, deploy, and monetize AI Agents. Currently, the largest launch platform is Virtuals, which has issued over 100,000 Agents. Several well-known AI Agents have emerged from the Virtuals ecosystem, such as the virtual human Luna and the market analysis tool AIXBT.

framework

The AI Agent framework is a toolkit for developing intelligent agents. Currently, there are several framework projects, mainly including SolanaAgentKit, Eliza, Rig, GOAT, and ZerePy. Among them, ai16z not only provides the Eliza framework but is also a venture capital fund in the AI sector.

infrastructure

Infrastructure projects provide various support services for AI Agents, such as data aggregation, testing platforms, resource-sharing networks, and more. For example, cookie.fun tracks and analyzes a large amount of AI Agent data, while Jailbreak offers a decentralized AI model testing platform.

Smart Body

Intelligent agents are specific instances of AI Agents. In addition to the aforementioned Luna and AIXBT, there are also some distinctive intelligent agents such as Freysa, Zerebro, and Pippin. These intelligent agents each have their own characteristics, showcasing the diversity of AI Agents, from artistic creation to game interaction.

DeFAI

DeFAI is the combination of decentralized finance and artificial intelligence, aiming to simplify the complex processes of DeFi through AI technology. Representative projects include Griffain, Orbit, and BUZZ, all of which are dedicated to providing users with a more intuitive and convenient DeFi operation experience.

The Development Prospects of DeFAI

The development of AI Agents is not over; rather, it requires practical applications to map out the second growth curve. DeFAI shows great potential in this regard:

1. The integration of AI and Web3 is an inevitable trend, and AI Agents can significantly improve the user experience of Web3.

2. The DeFAI project can effectively demonstrate the improvements of AI on Web3, helping to reshape the market's perception of AI Agents.

3. Compared to other types of AI Agent projects, DeFAI is easier to achieve value capture and token empowerment.

4. DeFAI not only simplifies DeFi operations but also provides practical application scenarios for AI Agents,推动其从概念走向落地.

Conclusion

DeFAI stands at the intersection of DeFi and AI Agents, with the potential to drive the adoption of DeFi while providing real application scenarios for AI Agents. Although the market may experience fluctuations, the long-term value of DeFAI is worth paying attention to. I believe that practical applications will ultimately bring true prosperity to Web3.
