Summary
An in-depth analysis of 25 DeFAI protocols yields the following important observations:
DeFAI is an emerging field, and most projects are still in beta.
The actual performance of the trading agent still needs time to be tested.
The automated DeFi execution mechanism is a major highlight, which successfully simplifies complex operational processes and enhances user experience.
Currently, it is more difficult to establish a competitive barrier in the DeFAI field because many projects have similar features and positioning.
It is worth noting that most projects' token value capture mechanisms are not prominent, and some even lack utility altogether.
In addition, some terminals show a long delay in responding to queries, which may be due to the performance limitations of the underlying chain or insufficient proxy optimization.
For developers who are deeply involved in AI and cryptography, Monad offers an attractive choice. The project is re-innovating the underlying consensus mechanism and execution layer, aiming to build a high-performance blockchain network capable of achieving 10,000 TPS processing capacity. This provides an ideal infrastructure platform for developers dedicated to building next-generation DeFAI applications, and is expected to help projects break through performance bottlenecks and achieve larger-scale applications.
