Those who can revive the AI Agent track will not be those "CA engineers" with superb acting skills, but down-to-earth "product engineers".

Amid the storm of market sentiment of quarreling, rights protection and repentance caused by the collective failure of on-chain PVP leaders and the record-breaking scale of losses (loss cuts) in altcoin chains, DeFAI, a niche track of AI Agent, is following in the footsteps of the recent chain abstraction track and quietly entering the stage of competing for users through product strength from the stage of outputting narratives to seize market minds.

As the number one perpetual contract DEX on Base, SynFutures announced today the launch of its AI Agent, ALL IN DeFAI, a paradigm innovation.

From the Ethereum mainnet NFT perpetual contract niche market to embracing the Blast ecosystem and then migrating to the Base ecosystem and then to ALL IN DeFAI, this is the third time in the history of the SynFutures team that they have proactively broken out of their comfort zone to seek self-breakthrough.

We know that the traditional DEX transaction process is cumbersome. Users need to open the Dapp, connect to the wallet, approve the authorization, and confirm the transaction. Each step is a potential loss point.

SynFutures' DeFAI product did not choose to copy the chat room UX adopted by the current blue chip DeFAI, but instead let the transaction return to the environment that users are most familiar with - Twitter. Send a message to the AI Agent in natural language "Use 20% of the funds to buy ETH", and the transaction is completed.

This innovation in experience will greatly lower the threshold for using DeFAI. More importantly, by embedding it into the Twitter ecosystem, it combines transactions with social interactions.

for example:

  • When you see an analyst post a bullish view, copy his trade directly in the comment section
  • Bet on a token trend with friends, and the contract can be completed directly in the conversation
  • Every KOL's trading suggestion becomes an executable smart contract

There are several main types of DeFAI AI Agents on the market:

  • All-round Agents represented by HeyAnon provide comprehensive DeFi services
  • DEX trading agents represented by Bankr focus on token trading
  • Autonomous trading agents represented by Kudai are themselves traders.
  • Functional Agents such as Simulacrum focus on specific scenarios

SynFutures has chosen a differentiated path, focusing on making perpetual contract trading the best it can be. For SynFutures, this strategy has several significant advantages:

  • Hitting the pain point: Perpetual contract trading is highly professional, and the value of lowering the threshold through AI is the greatest
  • Clear monetization: Transaction fees are the most direct source of income
  • Deep moat: Backed by its own mature PerpDEX infrastructure, it is not easy to copy

It is worth noting that SynFutures' Agent will only open spot trading in the first phase, and then gradually introduce advanced functions such as leverage and stop loss, and finally realize cross-chain trading capabilities.

This strategy can not only ensure the stability of user product experience, but also maintain market popularity. Every functional upgrade is a new marketing hotspot.

SynFutures' DeFAI attempt also verified my previous point of view that the product form of AI Agent is more suitable as an embedded service middleware, which helps to make the transaction experience return to the simplicity and intuitiveness of Web2.

Griffain and Buzz's chat room UX paradigm is not friendly enough to non-Degen players and has low efficiency in expressing intent.

In the future, AI Agent will be deeply coupled with chain abstraction to form the intention solver layer that links users and complex smart contracts.
