According to BlockBeats news, on January 6, ai16z co-founder Shaw mentioned during an offline interview with BlockBeats regarding 'DeFi agents': "ai16z is working with Orca to develop an agent that is an automated robot capable of managing Orca's liquidity pools automatically. Users only need to deposit tokens into it; if the pool does not exist, it will automatically create a new one; if the pool already exists, it will place the tokens into the existing pool. Next, it will continuously monitor these pools, and once it detects a situation that may lead to impermanent loss, such as token price divergence, it will automatically withdraw funds from the pool. Because what most people are concerned about is the issue of impermanent loss. Users can also programmatically control the price difference of tokens or adjust the way tokens are paired."
Shaw added: "Actually, this method can be extended to other DeFi products, such as yield farming. This will lead to a new DeFi Summer. The reason there is no DeFi Summer currently is that not enough people understand how to use DeFi, but the infrastructure for DeFi is already there, waiting to be fully utilized."
BlockBeats note: In this offline interview, Shaw reviewed his early experiences and turning points, shared the story behind the birth of 'Eliza', and the success formula of ai16z, delving into the applications of AI alignment and agents in the crypto field, while interpreting the impact of 'Eliza Drama' and the Skelly controversy. The full content of the interview has been uploaded to the BlockBeats site and BlockBeats' YouTube channel.
