DeFAI is a concept pioneered by @danielesesta (founder of @HeyAnonai and creator of the 2021 DeFi summer Wonderland $TIME). Essentially, DeFAI is the combination of DeFi and AI, aimed at simplifying the operational complexity of DeFi through artificial intelligence, making it more accessible for ordinary users.

The recent market adjustment has provided investors with a potential entry opportunity.

Summary

After an in-depth analysis of 25 DeFAI protocols, the following key observations can be made:

• DeFAI, as an emerging field, sees most projects still in the testing phase.

• The actual performance of trading agents still requires time for validation.

• The automated DeFi execution mechanism is a major highlight, successfully simplifying complex operational processes and enhancing user experience.

• Currently, establishing competitive barriers in the DeFAI field is challenging, as many projects have similar functionalities and positioning.

• It is noteworthy that the value acquisition mechanisms for most projects' tokens are not prominent, with some even lacking practicality entirely.

• Additionally, some terminals exhibit significant delays in query responses, which may stem from underlying chain performance limitations or insufficient agent optimization.

For developers deeply engaged in the AI and crypto fields, Monad offers an attractive option. The project is innovating the consensus mechanism and execution layer from the ground up, aiming to create a high-performance blockchain network with an expected processing capability of 10,000 TPS. This provides an ideal infrastructure platform for developers committed to building the next generation of DeFAI applications, with the potential to help projects overcome performance bottlenecks and achieve larger-scale applications.
