Author: Nancy, PANews

Following the hype around AI frameworks, DeFAI has also become one of the popular tracks in the crypto AI Agent space. The DeFAI project is promoting the transformation of the DeFi ecosystem's crypto financial interaction experience towards intelligence and automation by enhancing asset management efficiency, capital yield, and optimizing operational processes, thereby improving the trading convenience and market efficiency for DeFi users.

In this article, PANews has compiled 13 popular DeFAI token projects, among which only GRIFFAIN and Hey Anon have a market capitalization exceeding $100 million, while most others are in the tens of millions range. The scarcity of leading projects may indicate that participation in the DeFAI track is still relatively limited. However, the overall performance of DeFAI projects is still worth noting, as the 13 projects have averaged a 445.6% increase over the past week, with Hive, HotKeySwap, Bankr, and Hey Anon showing significantly higher gains, demonstrating the capital's attention.
