AI Agent System Wayfinder: drop the threshold of Decentralized Finance, promote large-scale adoption

Challenges of DeFi availability

Decentralized Finance aims to create an open financial ecosystem, but the complex technical knowledge and advanced financial skills required create a significant gap between ideals and reality. Although technologies such as chain abstraction and account abstraction have improved user experience, the lack of standardization and limited support for protocols remains. Users still need to understand DeFi-specific concepts such as AMM and liquidity pools, which set a higher barrier than traditional finance.

Research shows that in the leading Decentralized Finance protocol Uniswap V3, only 7% of liquidity providers control about 80% of the TVL. The return rate for these professional users is 20% higher than that of ordinary users. This gap is prevalent throughout the DeFi ecosystem and is not limited to specific protocols.

The complex access process deters many users, even in the face of enticing investment opportunities. As a result, DeFi is becoming a domain exclusive to professional users, which goes against the original intention of achieving inclusive finance through decentralized technology.

AI Intelligent Agent System Wayfinder

Wayfinder is an AI agent system designed specifically for on-chain environments, aimed at solving the usability issues of Decentralized Finance. It consists of two core components:

1. Wayfinder Shell: An interface for users to interact with various dedicated intelligent agents, supporting multiple mainnets.

2. Wayfinder Graph: A navigation system that helps agents find the optimal path in complex multi-chain environments.

Wayfinder Shell includes four types of agents:

• Trading Agent: Handles basic on-chain asset transfers and management
• Perpetual Contract Agent: Supports spot or perpetual contract trading
• Contract Agent: Handles tasks related to smart contracts
• Autonomous agents: coordinating multiple agents to perform integrated roles

Wayfinder Graph builds a relationship map between DeFi protocols, smart contracts, and assets within the blockchain network, helping agents efficiently execute tasks.

New Decentralized Finance experience brought by Wayfinder

With Wayfinder, complex on-chain strategies are no longer exclusive to experts. For example:

• Cross-chain transactions have become simple: users do not need to prepare Gas fees for each chain and can complete cross-chain operations in one stop.
• Automating repetitive investment processes: such as leverage-based DCA strategy
• Beginners can also execute professional-level trading: such as basis trading strategies

Future Development of Wayfinder

In the long term, Wayfinder is expected to develop into an operating system for the on-chain environment, providing functionality in the form of APIs. This will allow various Web3 services to easily call complex on-chain tasks, significantly improving the user experience.

Wayfinder is expected to become an infrastructure that transcends Decentralized Finance and improves the user experience across the cryptocurrency industry, realizing the ideal of "financial services accessible to everyone" in DeFi.
