I recently covered @HeyAnonai for @MessariCrypto. Here are some highlights from my report:
HeyAnon is an AI-powered DeFi protocol for building automated trading strategies with an NLP chatbot. It aggregates data from Messari, X, GitHub, and more.
DeFAI uses AI to automate DeFi processes via three layers: abstraction (user text prompts), reasoning (translating prompts into instructions), and execution (performing transactions like swaps). Unlike traditional DeFi, it eliminates manual steps for tasks like trading.
HeyAnon applies this by executing onchain actions based on conditions, controlling abstraction, and execution with agent solvers.

DeFAI's market cap is under $1 billion, but I anticipate it could reach $25–$50 billion by the end of 2025. Here's why:
In his DeFAI manifesto, @danielesesta highlighted how AI can drive a DeFi renaissance by tackling challenges like cross-chain fragmentation, liquidity, and user experience. Even before "DeFAI" was coined, projects like @griffaindotcom, @neur_sh, @AIWayfinder, and @HeyAnonai have been racing to launch usable products.
First off, what does DeFAI actually mean?
DeFAI involves using AI tools such as autonomous agents and natural language commands to make onchain interactions.
For example, instead of navigating dApps manually, users can issue commands like “swap 3 ETH for USDC” or “bridge assets to another chain,” while the AI manages the backend complexity, including contracts, gas fees, and secure execution. You could even request the agent to write you an entirely new smart contract.
