Web3 Agent startups are on the verge of an explosion, with giants like Coinbase and Solana entering the space to accelerate ecosystem maturity. Here are a few directions for ordinary people to start their own businesses: 1. DeFi Automation Agents Replace manual operations like lending, liquidation, yield farming, etc., to improve efficiency and returns. Specific directions to consider: a. Cross-protocol yield optimization: Automatically find the best yield rates and rebalance 24/7. b. Risk hedging agents: Monitor positions in real-time and execute hedging strategies automatically. c. Liquidity management bots: Help projects optimize market-making strategies and reduce impermanent loss. 2. Smart Trading Agents Combine AI analysis with on-chain execution to enable 24/7, multi-strategy trading. Specific directions to consider: a. High-frequency market-making agents (compatible with DEX/CEX). b. Arbitrage agents (cross-chain, triangular, funding rate arbitrage). c. Custom trading strategy generators (natural language input → smart contract execution). Of course, entering from the infrastructure layer is also an option, but for most people, the barrier might be too high. Vertical niches are still the best path forward.
