If you have participated in the AI agent craze over the past month, you must have heard the term "DeFAI." Although everyone pronounces it differently, this does not prevent it from becoming the focus of the market, especially against the backdrop of soaring prices.

DeFAI is a term created by @danielesesta, the founder of @HeyAnonai and a key figure behind the launch of Wonderland $TIME during the 2021 DeFi Summer. Conceptually, DeFAI is a combination of decentralized finance (DeFi) and artificial intelligence (AI), aimed at simplifying the complex processes of DeFi through AI technology, making it easy for ordinary users to access DeFi services.

The recent hot topic is $TRUMP. If you are not aware of what this is, you might be a bit out of the loop. However, the hype around $TRUMP has also led to a decline in the prices of many AI tokens, as investors have been pulling out of AI positions to shift towards $TRUMP.

This market volatility provides us with an entry opportunity, so I have written this article to introduce 50 DeFAI projects, helping you select potential star projects that may lead the development of DeFi in the future.

Note:

• Most of the project information mentioned in this article comes from the DeFAI category on @coingecko. Special thanks to these experts for their contributions!

• The price change data mentioned in the article has been rounded to the nearest integer.

• All data is taken from the period of January 19 to 20, 2025.

• Automated DeFi execution greatly simplifies operational processes and lowers the barrier to entry.

• Establishing competitive barriers in the DeFAI space is very difficult, as there are many projects with similar functionalities.

• The value support for tokens is weak, with some projects having no practical use at all.

• Some platforms have slower response times, which may be due to limitations of the blockchain itself or insufficient optimization of agents in data acquisition.
