Defai is the next step and future of DeFi, and the only question is, how do we get there? From a technical perspective, the current development of Defai can be divided into two factions: Infrastructure faction: Focused on building AI-driven underlying protocols. Application layer faction: Adding AI functionalities on top of existing DeFi protocols, such as optimizing trading strategies. I believe the application layer will break through first. The reason is simple: users need immediately usable value. However, there are exceptions. @gizatechxyz, as a Defai infrastructure, belongs to the type that "grabs with both hands and works hard on both sides." To make a long story short, Giza has built: Production-grade infrastructure, namely the DeFAi underlying protocol Giza Protocol, which includes three core architecture layers: semantic abstraction layer, proxy authorization layer, and decentralized execution layer, allowing various AI agents to thrive based on its underlying architecture. And has created: A flagship application with strong market appeal, namely the flagship AI agent ARMA, which scans all Base lending platforms' lending pools in real-time, continuously monitoring and evaluating protocols like AAVE, Morpho, Compound, and Moonwell, analyzing APR changes and Gas cost fluctuations to provide users with optimal stablecoin yields. On August 11, ARMA's trading volume surpassed $1 billion. This means that billions of dollars in trading volume have been optimized without any human intervention. The journey to $1 billion was not achieved overnight; Giza spent: A full 8 months (starting from December 24 when it was made public to users) Over 300,000 transactions Continuous integration from Aave to Compound to Morpho. Giza's strategy is essentially "prove value first, then expand infrastructure." Through flagship products like ARMA, they first validated the actual value of AI in DeFi—$1 billion in trading volume is not fake; it is real market validation. However, ARMA's success has also created a "sweet burden." In many people's minds, Giza is merely a "stablecoin yield agent," forgetting Giza Protocol's grander mission as a "trustless, context-aware, and permissionless agent infrastructure." This is both a moat and a ceiling. The deeper reason is that the current DeFAI market is still in the educational stage. Users find it easier to understand specific application scenarios rather than abstract infrastructure concepts. The only solution is to create more "representative works," launching more diverse use cases that cover a larger user base and solve more practical problems. This is precisely the direction the Giza team is striving for. Recently, Giza's official team has been continuously posting hints, suggesting that something big is about to happen. If I'm not mistaken, the second flagship AI agent is on the way. The upcoming second agent is likely to choose a field completely different from stablecoin yields—such as cross-chain arbitrage or meme coin trend capturing. Such a combination can showcase the versatility of Giza's infrastructure rather than being limited to a single scenario. In summary, Giza is on a correct but challenging path: educating the market with concrete success cases while building the underlying support for a larger market value imagination.
