How AI Is Shaping the Next Phase of DeFi

DeFi (Decentralized Finance) is constantly evolving, breaking down barriers by removing intermediaries and enabling open, permissionless access to financial services like lending, borrowing, and trading. While accessibility is a huge part of its appeal, the pace of innovation is what truly stands out, with projects like Aave and Compound bringing in algorithmic lending and Uniswap changing token swaps with AMMs.

Lately, one project has really caught my attention: INFINIT. It’s a new DeFi protocol that uses an AI-powered engine (INFINIT Intelligence) to act as a personalized assistant. This isn't just a simple bot; it analyzes your on-chain behavior, goals, and risk profile to suggest tailored strategies.

The system is powered by over 20 specialized AI agents that can execute complex, multi-step strategies in a single transaction, making sophisticated DeFi strategies accessible to a wider audience. The native $IN token powers governance, enables fee-sharing through staking, and grants access to premium features.. Bitget recently listed $IN and is running a trading event with up to 5,000 $IN in rewards

This is a great example of how AI can enhance, not just automate, our experience in decentralized finance. By making DeFi more intelligent and personalized, projects like INFINIT are paving the way for the next phase of decentralized finance.

Have you seen any other projects that are blending AI and DeFi? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
