After the hype around AI frameworks, DeFAI has also become one of the hot tracks in the crypto AI Agent space. DeFAI projects are driving the transformation of the DeFi ecosystem's crypto-financial interaction experience towards intelligence and automation, by improving asset management efficiency, capital yield, and optimizing operational processes, thereby enhancing DeFi users' transaction convenience and market efficiency.
In this article, PANews has compiled 13 popular DeFAI token projects, of which only GRIFFAIN and Hey Anon have a market cap over $100 million, while the rest are mostly at the tens of millions of dollars level, indicating that the participation in the DeFAI track is still relatively limited. However, the overall performance of DeFAI projects is still worth noting, with the 13 projects having an average increase of 445.6% in the past week, among which Hive, HotKeySwap, Bankr and Hey Anon have far exceeded the average, showing the attention of capital.
