In the past week, the heated discussion surrounding the topic of DeFAI has swept almost the entire cryptocurrency and DeFi fields, becoming the focus of attention. DeFAI has quickly emerged as a hot trend in the current crypto space, and its total market capitalization continues to grow at an alarming rate.
In addition, CoinGecko officially launched the DeFAI category on January 7, which has now achieved 4x growth from an initial market value of US$660 million, with the current total market value reaching US$2.7 billion.
DeFAI's mission is to simplify traditional DeFi and create a smarter, friendlier and more efficient financial ecosystem by integrating artificial intelligence functions (DeFAI = DeFi + AI). Although some tokens (such as AIXBT) have been launched and achieved a market value of more than $600 million, new tokens and projects in this field have still not received enough attention.
Next, this article will provide a detailed analysis of the upcoming potential DeFAI token.
Wayfinder (@AIWayfinder)
Wayfinder is an AI-powered DeFi chat assistant designed to help users explore and navigate the blockchain ecosystem for the best experience. Wayfinder was developed by the Parallel team. The project not only supports basic transactions such as cross-chain exchange and lending, but is also equipped with specialized tool agents for deploying, editing and reviewing smart contracts. Currently, the project is in the closed beta phase.
Additionally, two tokens will provide utility to the ecosystem and will be released soon, namely:
- PROMT: local gas fee and utility token;
- PRIME: Governance and staking token.
By interacting with Wayfinder, users can receive PROMT airdrops. The team plans to airdrop 1% of the total supply to early registered users in the first phase and 40% to users holding PRIME.
Axal (@getaxal)
Axal is a DeFAI platform powered by CMT Digital dedicated to building a verifiable agent network for a variety of tasks. Through this platform, users only need to clarify their needs, and the platform can generate an intelligent Web3 system, allowing the agent-based market to efficiently find the best solution with zero counterparty risk.
The Axal Platform's flagship product, Autopilot, is an agent-driven trading platform designed to automate complex trading strategies. Recently, the team also launched Gekko AI, a DeFAI agent in the style of a 1980s Wall Street tycoon (a potential competitor to aixbt).
Although Axal's product matrix has shown great potential for innovation, specific information about the platform's native token has not yet been announced, and future release plans and token economic models remain to be further revealed.
Cod3x (@Cod3xOrg)
Cod3x is a versatile platform that can serve as a DeFi assistant, helping users easily manage on-chain funds by writing prompts, and can be used to create personalized artificial intelligence agents, all without any programming skills.

Slate (@slate_ceo)
Slate is currently the first artificial intelligence agent capable of trading on Hyperliquid. This tool provides instant, AI-driven aggregated alerts from a user’s various information channels. In addition, Slate also has powerful autonomous trading capabilities and can simultaneously perform Hyperliquid, Solana and Base trading operations on one platform.
Slate enables users to custom monitor content on Telegram, Discord, X, and more, and provide real-time notifications when specific conditions are met. The tool is compatible with more than 51 protocols and 11 blockchains, supporting smooth DeFi transactions through natural language. Although the product has been officially launched, no news about the token issuance has been announced.
Almanak (@Almanak__)
Almanak is a permissionless, end-to-end platform designed for building, testing, training, optimizing and deploying autonomous financial agents. The platform consists of two core modules: the strategy infrastructure, which designs, evaluates and optimizes financial strategies, and the agency infrastructure, which enables agents to take over and assist in the execution of these strategies.
Almanak’s goal is to democratize the space, removing barriers and allowing anyone to leverage “institutional-grade” agents to build and train financial strategies. Currently, the application is online and in the testing phase. Its tokens have been pre-sold on LEGION and secondary trading is expected to be open soon.
HeyElsa (@HeyElsaAI)
HeyElsa is a DeFAI chat assistant whose main features set it apart from the previously mentioned Wayfinder. HeyElsa offers a proprietary Large Language Model (LLM) capable of delivering real-time market data and sentiment analysis across major blockchains. In addition, its core functions also include the following aspects:
- Composable AI agents: Provide personalized insights, decisions, and execution at the lowest cost;
- Excellent user experience: Manage assets, perform swaps, staking, lend/borrow and bridge across 7+ chains through a ChatGPT-like interface.
The product is now officially launched and rewards users through points activities. Users only need to complete one transaction to earn 500 points, further enhancing the interactive experience.
The future development of DeFAI and the expected market value of 100
billion US dollars
DeFAI is an important path to promote the popularization of DeFi, providing unprecedented possibilities for the full opening of the financial field. It not only simplifies the complex operations of traditional DeFi, but also makes decentralized finance more intelligent, efficient and easy to use by integrating artificial intelligence technology. This innovation provides individual users and institutional investors with a more user-friendly and barrier-free experience, significantly lowering the barriers to entry and truly democratizing financial instruments.
Although DeFi has made financial instruments accessible to everyone since its inception, the complexity of using various dApps, external wallets, and blockchains remains a significant barrier. Through the introduction of DeFAI, this process has become simpler and more intuitive, allowing more people to contact and understand DeFi. It is believed that DeFAI will reach a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars by the end of 2025.
