The first wave of AI Agents scratched the surface of what's possible with DeFAI... The next wave will bring fully autonomous swarms of agents bringing optimized onchain yield DeFAI is a match made in heaven for basis trading long-tail assets. Basis trading has been (and will continue to be) very profitable in crypto. Especially during bullish periods A basis trade is going long spot assets, while shorting perps to earn funding fees, and staying market neutral Funding fees are typically paid by perp longs to perp shorts during bullish price action Ethena built their entire model around basis trading ETH, consistently giving 10-20% APR to sUSDe stakers in the bull However for long-tail assets managing these positions are more risky as prices can move quickly and you might have to acticely monitor and rebalance your positions more often @BasisOS by @logarithm_fi does exactly this. BasisOS is a decentralized protocol designed to optimize yield in exotic markets through a managed basis trading strategy. Positions are constantly monitored by a swarm of AI agents and rebalanced when needed, while ensuring optimal trade execution to minimize slippage and fees The DeFAI agents could buy a spot position on any chain, and hedge it on perp dexes like Hyperliquid or GMX Backtesting the strategy on different assets during 2024 shows: BTC - 21.4% APR ETH - 18.4% APR DOGE - 27.6% APR PEPE - 30.8% APR POPCAT - 28.8% APR Clearly the more volatile long-tail assets are able to generate a higher yield of managed properly The value prop of BasisOS: - Autonomous, Data-Driven Operation - Fully Transparent On-Chain Execution - Cross-Chain Spot Management - Focus on Exotic Long-Tail Assets - Robust Risk Management - Operational Efficiency & Scalability BasisOS aspires to become the first fully autonomous DeFAI (Decentralized Finance and Artificial Intelligence) protocol, meaning that the swarm of AI agents of the protocol will consantly look for high yielding opportunities and be able to execute them autonomously. Currently all DeFAI agents are at the assistant stage (Stage 0), and its a race to develop the first Soverign DeFAI protocol. And exactly this is one of the main goals of the BasisOS roadmap, to become the first to reach Stage 3 autonomy BasisOS just launched their token $BIOS on @virtuals_io on Base through the genesis pools There was a mixup in Virtuals Genesis distributions which caused some users to be over-allocated, some to be under-allocated (getting refunded 3x Virtual amount they were underallocated by). This has now been resolved and claims are unpaused just now so expect some volatility Note: Am holding BIOS (bought off market) and have partnered with Logarithm. This is not financial advice
