In the future, novices do not need to learn deeply about blockchain techniques and definitions, AI Agents will support the majority of work when entering the market.
In a recent article by 0xJeff, CEO of Stake Studio, he analyzed how DeFAI (DeFi combined with AI) is currently reshaping the future of the market-wide DeFi segment.
More importantly, DeFi solves real-world problems by providing financial services to the unbanked, eliminating intermediaries, operating 24/7, and creating a global and inclusive financial system.

However, according to Jeff, DeFi is still complicated because it is not easy to set up a wallet, manage gas fees, avoid scams or rug pulls. The ever-expanding list of layer 1, layer 2, and cross-chain ecosystems makes the barrier to entry too great for most people. Despite this, this complexity is being solved thanks to the emergence of DeFAI (DeFi + AI).

Jeff argues that DeFAI leverages artificial intelligence to make DeFi more accessible. By simplifying the interface and removing barriers, DeFAI makes managing a DeFi portfolio as easy as chatting with ChatGPT. DeFAI projects are focusing on three main areas: abstraction layers, autonomous trading agents, and AI-integrated dApps.
The abstraction layer helps hide the complexity of DeFi with an intuitive interface. Users can use natural language commands instead of navigating through complex dashboards.
In the past, platforms like Cowswap have simplified trading, but it hasn't really eliminated the confusing feeling of getting into DeFi. Now, AI-integrated solutions like Griffain, Orbit, and Neur are doing a better job of providing a seamless experience, from transaction automation (DCA) to cross-chain integration.

Currently, AI Agents have gone far beyond the concept of traditional trading bots. They learn, adapt, and make intelligent decisions based on unstructured data, rather than just taking pre-programmed actions.
Finally, AI-integrated dApps offer refreshing automation and optimization experiences. Projects such as ARMA, Modius, and Amplifi are developing DeFi applications that automate yields, manage assets, and improve the user experience. These ecosystems not only create new tools but also drive innovation in the DeFi sector.
DeFAI is completely changing the way the market sees and uses DeFi, making it smarter, simpler, and more accessible. With a combination of abstract layers, automated trading agents, and AI-integrated dApps, DeFAI is likely to usher in a new era. Instead of "DeFi Summer 2020", Jeff predicts that we are preparing for "DeFAI Summer 2025".
