Following the hype around AI frameworks, DeFAI has also become one of the popular tracks among crypto AI agents. The DeFAI project is driving the transformation of the crypto financial interaction experience in the DeFi ecosystem towards intelligence and automation by enhancing asset management efficiency, fund yield, and optimizing operational processes, thereby improving the convenience of trading and market efficiency for DeFi users.

This article organizes 13 popular DeFAI token projects by PANews, among which only GRIFFAIN and Hey Anon have a market capitalization of over 100 million, while the rest mostly fall within the million-dollar range. The scarcity of leading projects may indicate that participation in the DeFAI track remains relatively limited. However, the overall performance of DeFAI projects is still worth noting, as the 13 projects have averaged an increase of 445.6% over the past week, with Hive, HotKeySwap, Bankr, and Hey Anon showing far greater increases than the average, demonstrating the capital's attention.
