Following the hype of AI frameworks, DeFAI has also become a popular track among crypto AI agents. DeFAI projects are promoting the intelligent and automated transformation of the DeFi ecosystem's cryptocurrency financial interaction experience by improving asset management efficiency, capital yield rates, and optimizing operational processes, thereby enhancing the convenience of trading for DeFi users and market efficiency.
This article summarizes 13 popular DeFAI token projects, of which only GRIFFAIN and Hey Anon have a market capitalization exceeding one hundred million, while most others are at the ten million dollar level. The scarcity of leading projects may indicate that participation in the DeFAI track is still relatively limited. However, the overall performance of DeFAI projects is still worth paying attention to, with 13 projects averaging a 445.6% increase over the past week, among which Hive, HotKeySwap, Bankr, and Hey Anon have significantly outperformed the average, demonstrating the capital's interest.
