DeFAI is a concept pioneered by @danielesesta (founder of @HeyAnonai and creator of the 2021 DeFi Summer Wonderland $TIME). In essence, DeFAI is a combination of DeFi and AI, aiming to simplify the operational complexity of DeFi through artificial intelligence, making it easier for ordinary users to use.
The recent market correction provides investors with a possible entry opportunity.

Summarize
After an in-depth analysis of the 25 DeFAI protocols, the following important observations can be made:
- As DeFAI is an emerging field, most projects are still in the testing phase.
- The actual performance of the trading agent still needs time to be tested.
- The automated DeFi execution mechanism is a highlight, which successfully simplifies the complex operation process and improves the user experience.
- It is currently difficult to establish competitive barriers in the DeFAI field because many projects have similar functions and positioning.
- It is worth noting that the token value capture mechanism of most projects is not outstanding, and some even lack practicality completely.
- In addition, some terminals exhibit long delays in responding to queries, which may be due to performance limitations of the underlying chain or insufficient proxy optimization.
For developers who are deeply involved in the fields of AI and encryption, Monad provides an attractive option. The project is re-innovating the consensus mechanism and execution layer from the bottom up, aiming to build a high-performance blockchain network with an expected processing capacity of 10,000 TPS. This provides an ideal infrastructure platform for developers committed to building the next generation of DeFAI applications, which is expected to help projects break through performance bottlenecks and achieve larger-scale applications.

The Role of Blockchain in Building Safer Web3 Gaming Ecosystems
The gaming industry is in the midst of a historic shift, driven by the rise of Web3. Unlike traditional games, where developers and publishers control assets and dictate in-game economies, Web3 gaming empowers players with ownership and influence. Built on blockchain technology, these ecosystems are decentralized by design, enabling true digital asset ownership, transparent economies, and a future where players help shape the games they play.
However, as Web3 gaming grows, security becomes a focal point. The range of security concerns, from hacking to asset theft to vulnerabilities in smart contracts, is a significant issue that will undermine or erode trust in this ecosystem, limiting or stopping adoption. Blockchain technology could be used to create security processes around secure, transparent, and fair Web3 gaming ecosystems. We will explore how security is increasing within gaming ecosystems, which challenges are being overcome, and what the future of security looks like.
Why is Security Important in Web3 Gaming?
Web3 gaming differs from traditional gaming in that players engage with both the game and assets with real value attached. Players own in-game assets that exist as tokens or NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), and can trade and sell them. These game assets usually represent significant financial value, meaning security failure could represent real monetary loss.
In essence, without security, the promises of owning “something” in Web3, decentralized economies within games, and all that comes with the term “fair” gameplay can easily be eroded by fraud, hacking, and exploitation. This is precisely why the uniqueness of blockchain should be emphasized in securing Web3 gaming.
How Blockchain Ensures Security in Web3 Gaming?
- Immutable Ownership of Assets Blockchain records can be manipulated by anyone. If a player owns a sword, skin, or plot of land as an NFT, it is verifiably in their ownership, and it cannot be altered or deleted by the developer or even hacked. This has created a proven track record of ownership, providing control back to the players, unlike any centralised gaming platform where assets can be revoked.
- Decentralized Infrastructure Blockchain networks also have a distributed architecture where game data is stored in a worldwide network of nodes, making them much less susceptible to centralised points of failure and attacks. This decentralised approach makes it exponentially more difficult to hijack systems or even shut off the game’s economy.
- Secure Transactions with Cryptography Whether a player buys an NFT or trades their in-game tokens for other items or tokens, the transactions are enforced by cryptographic algorithms, ensuring secure, verifiable, and irreversible transactions and eliminating the risks of double-spending or fraudulent trades.
- Smart Contract Automation Smart contracts automate the enforcement of game rules and players’ economic exchanges for the developer, eliminating the need for intermediaries or middlemen, and trust for the developer. For example, if a player completes a quest that promises a reward, the smart contract will execute and distribute what was promised.
- Anti-Cheating and Fair Gameplay The naturally transparent nature of blockchain makes it extremely simple for anyone to examine a specific instance of gameplay and verify the economic outcomes from that play. Furthermore, multi-player games that enforce smart contracts on things like loot sharing or win sharing can automate and measure trustlessness and avoid cheating, manipulations, and fraud by developers.
- Cross-Platform Security Many Web3 games feature asset interoperability across platforms. This interoperability is made viable by blockchain, which guarantees ownership is maintained whenever assets transition from one game or marketplace to another, thereby offering protection to players who rely on transfers for security against fraud. Key Security Dangers in Web3 Gaming Although blockchain provides sound first principles of security, the Web3 gaming ecosystem is susceptible to threats. Some of the most serious threats include:
