DeFAI Valuation Soars to $2.7 Billion
If you have been following cryptocurrency and DeFi, you have almost certainly not missed the recent buzz surrounding DeFAI. DeFAI is currently the hottest topic in the crypto space, with its total market valuation growing at an astonishing pace.
CoinGecko officially launched the DeFAI category on January 7th. Since I first noticed its $660 million market valuation, the market cap of this sector has quadrupled to reach the current $2.7 billion.
The mission of DeFAI is to simplify traditional DeFi through AI technology (DeFAI = DeFi + AI), transforming it into a smarter, more user-friendly, and more efficient financial ecosystem.
While some tokens (such as $AIXBT) have already been released and have a market cap exceeding $600 million, many new tokens and projects in this sector remain out of the public eye. This article will delve into all the upcoming high-potential DeFAI tokens.

High-Potential DeFAI Projects
Wayfinder | @AIWayfinder
Wayfinder is an AI-based DeFi assistant chat tool designed to help users explore and navigate blockchain paths for the best experience, currently in a closed testing phase.
Developed by the @ParallelTCG team, Wayfinder not only supports simple transactions like cross-chain exchanges or lending but also includes a professional agent for deploying, editing, and auditing smart contracts.
Its ecosystem will be supported by two tokens, to be released soon:
· $PROMT: The native gas and utility token.
· $PRIME: The governance and staking token.
Through interacting with Wayfinder, users can get the opportunity for a $PROMT airdrop. The team plans to airdrop 1% of the total supply to early registrants in the first stage, while allocating 40% to users staking $PRIME.

Axal | @getaxal
Supported by @CMT_Digital, Axal is a DeFAI platform focused on building a verifiable agent network for a wide range of tasks.
The platform allows users to easily create smart Web3 systems by stating their intent, driving agent-based market solutions, all with zero counterparty risk.
Axal's flagship product, Autopilot, is an agent-driven trading platform designed to automate complex trading strategies. Recently, they also launched @Gekko_Agent, a DeFAI agent with a 1980s Wall Street style (a competitor to @aixbt_agent).
There is currently no token disclosure available.

Cod3x | @Cod3xOrg
Frankly, this is one of my most anticipated projects!
@Cod3xOrg is both a DeFi assistant—helping users manage on-chain funds through written prompts—and a platform to create a personalized AI agent without coding skills.
With its outstanding user experience, Cod3x not only makes DeFi more accessible but also popularizes personalized agents. These agents can be used for various purposes such as high-risk trading, tax management, dollar-cost averaging strategies, and more.
Their flagship product @BigTonyXBT is a DeFAI agent inspired by an Italian mafia style and is currently one of the most profitable agents on the market.

Slate | @slate_ceo
As the first and currently the only AI agent able to trade on @HyperliquidX, Slate provides AI-driven comprehensive alerts generated instantly from all information channels and can autonomously execute trades on Hyperliquid, Solana, and Base — all integrated within one platform.
Slate allows users to specify content to monitor (Telegram, Discord, etc.) and receive real-time notifications when specified conditions are met.
@slate_ceo supports 51+ protocols and 11 chains, enabling seamless DeFi transactions through natural language.
The product is live, but no information is currently available about the token.

Almanak | @Almanak__
Almanak is a permissionless end-to-end platform for building, testing, training, optimizing, and deploying autonomous financial agents.
Almanak consists of two main modules:
· Strategy Infrastructure: For conceptualizing, evaluating, and optimizing financial strategies.
· Agent Infrastructure: Supporting agent takeover and assisting in executing financial strategies.
Almanak aims to democratize the field and address inequality through "institutional-grade" agents, allowing anyone to build and train strategies.
The application is now live and in the testing phase, and the token has completed presale on @legiondotcc and will be officially launched soon.

HeyElsa | @HeyElsaAI
Yes, the last one is another DeFAI chatbot, but it offers some key differentiating features.
HeyElsa has provided a proprietary Large Language Model (LLM) that offers real-time market and sentiment insights across mainstream blockchains. Its key features include:
· Composable AI agent: Providing personalized insights, decision-making, and execution capabilities at minimal cost.
· Superior user experience: Managing assets, executing cross-chain exchanges across 7 chains, staking, lending, and more through an interface similar to ChatGPT.
The product is already live and is currently running a rewards points campaign for users. Simply complete one interaction to receive 500 points!

DeFAI: The Future and a $100 Billion Prediction
I am very bullish on DeFAI, and my confidence in it stems from the fact that DeFAI is the only way to truly bring DeFi to the masses.
Since the inception of DeFi, it has indeed opened up the financial sector to everyone, but using all the dApps, external wallets, and various chains is still quite complex. Thanks to DeFAI, I have introduced more friends to DeFi in the past year than I have in the last 3–4 years.
If you ask me to predict, I believe that by the end of 2025, DeFAI's market capitalization will reach $100 billion.
