AI Agent System Wayfinder: drop the entry barrier for DeFi, promote large-scale adoption

Decentralized Finance claims to be open to everyone, but its complexity makes it difficult for ordinary investors to enter. From preparing Gas fees to understanding complex protocols, many users miss investment opportunities due to cumbersome procedures.

Wayfinder is an on-chain dedicated AI agent system designed to address these accessibility issues. Users can execute professional-level investment strategies simply by conversing with the agent, covering everything from cross-chain trading to basis trading.

Wayfinder is set to expand its API services in the future, aiming to become the infrastructure that simplifies on-chain complexities and is widely applied in Web3 projects. The Wayfinder API will enhance the user experience across the entire cryptocurrency industry, making "inclusive finance" a reality.

The High Barrier to Entry in Decentralized Finance

Decentralized Finance aims to create an open financial ecosystem, but it requires complex technology and financial knowledge, which creates a significant gap between ideals and reality.

Chain abstraction and account abstraction technologies have improved user experience, but there is a lack of standardization and limited support protocols. The fundamental issue lies in the complexity of learning; it cannot be solved solely through technological improvements. Users still need to understand DeFi-specific concepts such as AMM and liquidity pools, which sets a higher barrier to entry compared to traditional finance.

Research from the Bank for International Settlements shows that in 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, indicating that accessibility issues affect the entire Decentralized Finance ecosystem.

Decentralized Finance faces clear problems: existing users are trapped in endless learning, while new users are deterred by complexity. This goes against the original intention of achieving financial innovation through decentralized technology, and the promise of inclusive finance remains unfulfilled.

The Possibility of AI Solving the High Barriers of Decentralized Finance

AI breakthroughs bring new possibilities for dropping the barriers to DeFi. Agent-based AI technology has emerged, capable of executing complex tasks, which could be key to the large-scale adoption of DeFi.

However, there are fundamental challenges in achieving this vision. Most AI technologies lack direct blockchain integration, and understanding smart contracts and secure interactions also poses challenges. AI needs dedicated on-chain agent systems to create real value in Decentralized Finance.

Wayfinder: On-chain Dedicated AI Agent System

Wayfinder provides an AI agent system specifically designed for on-chain environments. Unlike general agents, Wayfinder agents are directly integrated with blockchain infrastructure to automatically execute on-chain tasks. The AI models are fine-tuned for the blockchain environment, navigating Decentralized Finance protocols more efficiently than general models.

Wayfinder consists of two core components: the Wayfinder Shell interface allows users to interact with dedicated agents, and the Wayfinder Graph navigation system helps agents find the optimal path in complex multi-chain environments.

Wayfinder Shell: Your Decentralized Finance private banker

Wayfinder Shell serves as an interface where users interact with dedicated agents to formulate and execute on-chain strategies. Shells provide role-specific agents, supporting major mainnets like Ethereum and Solana, enabling multi-chain asset management.

The smart agent executes direct on-chain transactions through a built-in Web3 wallet. Users can easily implement investment strategies through a single interface without the need for complex technical understanding.

The Wayfinder Intelligence System includes:

• Trading Agent: Handling basic on-chain asset transfer management
• Perpetual Contract Agent: Supports spot or perpetual contract trading
• Contract Agent: handling tasks related to smart contracts
• Autonomous Agents: Coordinate multiple agents to perform integrated roles

In the future, dedicated intelligent agents will be continuously added to expand the ecosystem. Wayfinder utilizes a multi-agent system for mutual verification and collaboration, making decision-making more stable and accurate.

Wayfinder Graph: Google Maps of Decentralized Finance

Wayfinder Graph is a navigation system that organizes complex blockchain ecosystems. It builds relationships between DeFi protocols, smart contracts, and assets across various blockchain networks, helping agents execute tasks through the most efficient paths.

The core is "pathfinding", defining step-by-step guidance for specific tasks, recording detailed information such as smart contract addresses and function calls. The agent uses the verified path to complete tasks quickly and securely.

In the future, the community will create and manage navigation paths. Path creators stake tokens as collateral, and approved paths can be used by all Shells. Creators receive a share of the usage fees, and incorrect paths will be penalized. This structure operates as a continuous quality management system.

A New DeFi Experience Realized by Wayfinder

Wayfinder makes complex on-chain strategies accessible to everyone, not just experts. Automated agents handle strategy formulation and execution, allowing beginners to easily manage expert-level strategies while experts can focus on more complex designs.

Complex cross-chain transactions become simple

The trading agent of Shells solves cross-chain gas fee issues through the BRAP engine. BRAP explores multiple liquidity paths to find the optimal route for token exchange bridging. Users can enjoy a one-stop experience without complicated processes.

One-stop operation for repetitive investment processes

Wayfinder can execute complex investment strategies, such as leveraged DCA. Autonomous agents analyze multiple lending protocols and select the optimal solution. Trading agents sequentially execute leveraged investments within the risk range set by the user.

Professional-Level Trading for Beginners

The perpetual contract agent integrated with Hyperliquid allows ordinary users to easily execute professional strategies such as basis trading. The agent handles complex mechanisms and monitors 24/7, enabling users to obtain stable returns without requiring professional knowledge.

The Future of Accessing Decentralized Finance

Wayfinder is expected to bridge the gap between on-chain opportunities and users. Users can easily execute various strategies through dialogue, with expert-level strategies available to the average user. This could be a significant turning point for the industry, expanding the user base and driving market activity.

In the long term, Wayfinder may develop into an on-chain environment operating system. It provides functionalities through APIs, allowing various services to easily invoke complex on-chain tasks. This will enhance the user experience across the cryptocurrency industry and realize the ideal of "inclusive finance" in Decentralized Finance.
