AI-Driven DeFi Infrastructure: How Wayfinder is Driving Blockchain Adoption

Summary

DeFi claims to be open to everyone, but its complexity makes it difficult for ordinary investors to enter. From preparing Gas fees to understanding complex protocols, many users give up promising investment opportunities due to the cumbersome processes involved.

Wayfinder is an on-chain AI agent system designed to address these accessibility issues. Users can execute professional-level investment strategies, from cross-chain trading to basis trading, simply by having a conversation with the agent.

In the future, Wayfinder will expand to API services, expected to serve as infrastructure to simplify on-chain complexities and be widely applied in various Web3 projects. The availability of the Wayfinder API will improve the user experience across the cryptocurrency industry, making "Decentralized Finance" a reality.

1. Challenges of accessibility in Decentralized Finance

DeFi aims to create an open financial ecosystem, but it still requires complex technical knowledge and advanced financial skills. Chain abstraction and account abstraction have improved user experience, but there is a lack of standardization and limited support. The fundamental issue lies in the complexity of learning, as users still need to understand DeFi-specific concepts such as AMM and liquidity pools.

Research from the Bank for International Settlements shows that in Uniswap V3, only 7% of liquidity providers control about 80% of the TVL. The return rate for these professional users is 20% higher than that of ordinary users. This indicates that accessibility issues affect the entire Decentralized Finance ecosystem and are not limited to specific protocols.

DeFi is becoming an exclusive domain for professional users, which goes against the original intention of achieving financial innovation through decentralized technology. High barriers to entry and poor usability limit its potential.

2. Can AI solve the high barriers of entry in Decentralized Finance?

The latest AI breakthroughs bring the possibility of lowering the threshold for DeFi. Agent-based AI technology can perform complex tasks and may be key to the widespread adoption of DeFi.

However, most AI technologies currently lack direct integration with Blockchain. Even with integrated Blockchain nodes, understanding and securely interacting with thousands of smart contracts still presents challenges. AI technologies require dedicated on-chain agent systems to create real value in Decentralized Finance.

3. Wayfinder: On-chain dedicated AI agent system

Wayfinder provides an AI agent system designed specifically for on-chain environments. They are directly integrated with blockchain infrastructure, automatically executing on-chain tasks. The AI models are fine-tuned for the blockchain environment, utilizing DeFi protocols more efficiently than general models.

Wayfinder consists of two core components: Wayfinder Shell and Wayfinder Graph.

3.1 Wayfinder Shell: Your DeFi personal banker

Wayfinder Shell serves as an interface where users interact with dedicated intelligent agents to formulate and execute various on-chain strategies. It supports major mainnets and enables multi-chain asset management.

The intelligent agent system includes:

• Trading Agents: Handle basic on-chain asset transfers and management
• Perpetual Contract Agent: Supports spot or perpetual contract trading
• Contract Agent: Handles tasks related to smart contracts
• Autonomous agents: coordinating multiple agents to handle complex roles

3.2 Wayfinder Graph: Decentralized Finance的导航系统

The Wayfinder Graph systematically organizes complex Blockchain ecosystems. It constructs relationships between DeFi protocols, smart contracts, and assets across various Blockchain networks, helping agents find the most efficient paths.

The "Pathfinding" defines the step-by-step execution of specific tasks, recording detailed information such as required contract addresses and function calls. In the future, the community will create and manage pathfinding paths, ensuring quality through a staking mechanism.

4. A brand new Decentralized Finance experience brought by Wayfinder

Wayfinder makes complex on-chain strategies no longer exclusive to experts, providing a customized experience for different user levels:

• Simplify complex cross-chain transactions
• One-stop operation to achieve repeatable investment processes
• Enable beginners to execute professional-level trading strategies

5. The future of accessing Decentralized Finance

Wayfinder is expected to become the operating system of the on-chain environment. It provides functions in the form of APIs, allowing various services to easily invoke complex on-chain tasks. This will improve the user experience across the cryptocurrency industry and realize the ideal of Decentralized Finance "inclusive finance."
