DeFi 1.0 is a thing of the past, DeFi 2.0 (the era of automation and modularity driven by AI agents) Coming soon In the face of the speed of code execution, human consensus is a form of delay. The future winners will be those who learn to "outsource" their trading intentions to AI agents earliest. The cryptocurrency market will undergo a major reshuffle, with more people being eliminated A. The shift in coin selection logic: from "selecting assets" to "selecting models" In the past, you researched the white paper on tokens; In the future, you need to research AI models for intelligent vaults. Impact: Your alpha return will no longer depend on whether you are bullish on a particular token, but on which AI agent you choose to manage your position. Change: The role of a trader will become more like that of a 'strategic architect'. You need to define your 'intention' (e.g. maximizing returns while maintaining a maximum drawdown of 10%), and then let the AI execute it. B. Eliminating 'biological delay': a defensive tool for retail investors Traditional traders often cannot escape from sudden black swan events such as anchor detachment and protocol attacks due to sleep, slow response, or delayed approval of multiple signatures. Impact: The risk management intelligent agent (Guardian) in the "smart vault" can detect anomalies at sub second speeds (such as the abnormal casting in the Resolv case) and automatically withdraw funds before ordinary people see Twitter news. Benefit: This provides an "institutional level" defense capability for ordinary traders who lack professional monitoring equipment, reducing the risk of being cut. C. The intensification of competitive environment: the end of human-machine game If you are still manually implementing cross protocol arbitration or rebalancing strategies, you will completely lose competitiveness. Impact: The market will enter the era of "agent wars". MEV robots and AI agents will dominate liquidity routing. Response: Traders must learn to use these AI proxy tools, otherwise you will face silicon-based opponents who never sleep and react 1000 times faster than you. 3. "New opportunities" that traders need to pay attention to The technology trends mentioned in the report also point out the track that may generate high returns in the future: A-AI driven Yield Routing: Focus on protocols that integrate Morpho or Euler and are adjusted in real-time by AI. B-ZKML verification service: A platform that can provide "verifiable AI operations" will receive a higher trust premium. Intent Parsers: A tool that can understand human fuzzy instructions and convert them into complex on chain instructions, which will become the entry point for future transactions.
