Over the past week, discussions around DeFAI have swept through the entire cryptocurrency and DeFi space, becoming a major focal point. DeFAI has rapidly emerged as a leading trend in the current crypto landscape, with its total market capitalization growing at an astonishing pace.
In addition, CoinGecko officially launched the DeFAI category on January 7. Starting from an initial market cap of $660 million, it has since quadrupled, reaching a current total market cap of $2.7 billion.
DeFAI aims to simplify traditional DeFi by integrating artificial intelligence capabilities (DeFAI = DeFi + AI), creating a smarter, more user-friendly, and efficient financial ecosystem. While some tokens (such as AIXBT) have already launched and achieved over $600 million in market cap, many new tokens and projects in this sector remain under the radar.
Next, this article will provide a detailed analysis of upcoming DeFAI tokens with high potential.
Wayfinder (@AIWayfinder)
Wayfinder is an AI-powered DeFi chat assistant designed to help users explore and navigate the blockchain ecosystem for an optimal experience. Developed by the Parallel team, Wayfinder supports basic cross-chain transactions such as swaps and lending, and also includes specialized agent tools for deploying, editing, and auditing smart contracts. Currently, the project is in closed testing.
Two tokens will provide utility within the ecosystem and are set to launch soon:
-
PROMT: Native gas and utility token;
-
PRIME: Governance and staking token.
Users can earn PROMT airdrops by interacting with Wayfinder. The team plans to airdrop 1% of the total supply to early registrants in the first phase, and 40% to PRIME holders.
Axal (@getaxal)
Axal is a DeFAI platform backed by CMT Digital, aiming to build a verifiable network of agents for various tasks. Through this platform, users simply state their needs, and the system generates intelligent Web3 solutions, enabling agent-based markets to efficiently find optimal strategies without counterparty risk.
Axal’s flagship product, Autopilot, is an agent-driven trading platform designed to automatically execute complex trading strategies. Recently, the team also launched Gekko AI—an 80s-style Wall Street tycoon-themed DeFAI agent that could be a potential competitor to aixbt.
While Axal’s product suite shows strong innovation potential, specific details about its native token—including release plans and tokenomics—have not yet been disclosed.
Cod3x (@Cod3xOrg)
Cod3x is a versatile platform that functions both as a DeFi assistant—helping users manage on-chain funds easily via prompts—and as a tool for creating personalized AI agents, all without requiring any programming skills. With its excellent user experience, Cod3x makes DeFi accessible and democratizes the creation of personalized agents. These agents can serve various purposes, such as degen trading, tax management, and DCA investment strategies.
The platform’s flagship agent, Big Tony, styled after an Italian mobster, is currently one of the most profitable agents in the market.
Currently, users can access the platform by applying for an NFT (application link: https://app.manifold.xyz/c/d3x), which may be linked to future token airdrops.
Slate (@slate_ceo)
Slate is currently the first AI agent capable of trading on Hyperliquid. This tool delivers real-time, AI-driven summary alerts pulled from various user information channels. Additionally, Slate possesses powerful autonomous trading capabilities, enabling simultaneous execution of trades across Hyperliquid, Solana, and Base within a single platform.
Slate allows users to customize monitoring of content from platforms like Telegram, Discord, and X, delivering real-time notifications when specific conditions are met. Compatible with over 51 protocols and 11 blockchains, it enables seamless DeFi interactions via natural language commands. Although the product is already live, there has been no official announcement regarding token issuance.
Almanak (@Almanak__)
Almanak is a permissionless end-to-end platform built specifically for constructing, testing, training, optimizing, and deploying autonomous financial agents. The platform consists of two core modules: Strategy Infrastructure, used for designing, evaluating, and optimizing financial strategies; and Agent Infrastructure, which enables agents to take over and assist in executing these strategies.
Almanak aims to democratize the field by breaking down barriers, allowing anyone to build and train financial strategies using "institutional-grade" agents. The application is now live and in testing phase, with its token already presold on LEGION and expected to open for secondary trading soon.
HeyElsa (@HeyElsaAI)
HeyElsa is a DeFAI chat assistant whose core functionalities differentiate it from previously mentioned tools like Wayfinder. HeyElsa offers a proprietary large language model (LLM) that provides real-time market data and sentiment analysis across major blockchains. Its key features also include:
-
Composable AI agents: Deliver personalized insights, decisions, and execution at minimal cost;
-
Superior user experience: Manage assets, execute swaps, stake, lend/borrow, and bridge across 7+ chains via a ChatGPT-like interface.
The product is now officially launched and rewards users through a points campaign. Users earn 500 points for completing just one transaction, enhancing engagement.
The Future of DeFAI and the Path to a $100 Billion Market Cap
DeFAI represents a critical pathway toward the widespread adoption of DeFi, unlocking unprecedented possibilities for open finance. By simplifying the complex operations of traditional DeFi and integrating AI technology, it makes decentralized finance smarter, more efficient, and easier to use. This innovation delivers a far more accessible and seamless experience for both individual users and institutional investors, significantly lowering entry barriers and truly democratizing financial tools.
Although DeFi has opened financial tools to everyone since its inception, the complexity of using various dApps, external wallets, and blockchains remains a significant hurdle. With the introduction of DeFAI, this process becomes simpler and more intuitive, enabling broader participation and understanding of DeFi. It is projected that DeFAI will reach a market capitalization of $100 billion by the end of 2025.
