Utility

Stake 10,000,000 (0.01%) DEFAI into the Agent’s Wallet to gain access to the Portfolio Management System. Creates alignment between the Agent and the Human and provides enough supply for the Agent to earn distributions.

Governance

DEFAI Token holders vote on the global yield token, pools, system upgrades and features, and treasury allocation.

Distributions of Yield (Clanker Fees)

ALL SOL from the Fees Generated on the DEX will buy the weekly voted token. This will then be distributed to holders of DEFAI at intervals.

FlyWheel

50% of LP Fees Generated on the Platform from staked LP will buy back $DEFAI tokens and added to pairs.

Revenue

40% of Fees Generated on the Platform will go into Treasury for Operations

How the Snapshots Worked:

  • On Mar 31, 2025 UTC 00:00 a snapshot of DeFAI holders was taken.
  • This will give a 10:1 stream flow of DEFAI tokens over the first 2 weeks of launch. You will have to claim the tokens by Jul 4, 2025 otherwise the tokens will be returned to the treasury.
  • On May 20, 2025 UTC 00:00 a snapshot of DeFAI holders wake take.
  • This will give you 1:1 of DEFAI tokens in the escrow mpl404 sequence.

How the MPL404 Sequence Works:

Old DeFAIEscrowMint AIR NFTMelt NFTNew DEFAI
  • You will need your balance of old DeFAI to allow the escrow contract to claim your tokens and add the balance to the metadata.
  • When you mint an AIR NFT it will have your balance of tokens + a bonus multiplier.
  • These AI Rewards NFTs will be tradeable on Solana NFT Markets
  • You will be able to melt the NFT at any time to receive the new DEFAI tokens

How the Wealth Management System will Integrate with DEFAIZA

Smart WalletSignDEFAIZA Agent
  • Smart Wallet creation with Cross Mint
  • User has to Deposit 5000 DEFAI + .1 SOL into the smart wallet for gas
  • User creates their DEFAIZA in this flow and signs a transaction to allow the agent’s SOL wallet to be a signer on the smart wallet.
  • User is then shown the Yield and Pools Page

Core Technologies Built To Date:

DEFAI Rewards: Synergizing DeFi with Autonomous AI Agents

DEFAI Rewards is a pioneering platform designed to bridge the worlds of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and Artificial Intelligence, empowering users to deploy sophisticated AI agents that autonomously manage and optimize yield-generating strategies on the Solana blockchain.

Our core mission is to democratize access to advanced financial tools and AI-driven automation, allowing both seasoned DeFi users and newcomers to maximize their capital efficiency while retaining full sovereignty over their assets.

Key Features

  • AI-Powered Yield Optimization: Deploy intelligent agents that can analyze market conditions, assess risk, and execute complex DeFi strategies (e.g., liquidity provision, staking, harvesting) automatically.
  • Crossmint Smart Wallet Integration: Seamless onboarding and secure smart wallet creation via Crossmint, providing a dedicated, programmable wallet for your AI agent to operate from. This ensures your primary wallet remains isolated and secure.
  • Hybrid Authentication: Robust security model combining traditional session-based authentication with Crossmint JWTs, allowing agents to securely interact with platform APIs.
  • User-Defined Risk Tolerance: Maintain control by setting specific risk parameters for your AI agent, guiding its decision-making process within your comfort zone.
  • On-Chain Sovereignty: Your AI agent operates directly on the Solana blockchain, interacting with DeFi protocols via its own smart wallet. You retain full ownership and control of the assets managed by the agent.
  • Fleek-Powered Serverless Deployment: Agents are deployed to Fleek's decentralized serverless infrastructure, ensuring high availability, censorship resistance, and robust performance.
  • User Engagement & Rewards Platform: A points-based system to reward user activity, referrals, and social media interactions. Includes a leaderboard and airdrop eligibility checks.

Squad-Based Governance & Proposal System:

SquadsVote OnProposalsExecute
  • Squad Formation & Tiers: Users can create or join "Squads." Squads have leaders and members, and their collective points can unlock higher tiers, offering benefits like increased member capacity, bonus rewards, and point multipliers.
  • Token Reward Proposals: Squad leaders with sufficient accumulated squad points can initiate "token reward proposals." These proposals specify a token (by contract address and name) and a reason for the reward.
  • Epoch-Based Proposals: To maintain order, only one proposal per squad can be active within a defined time period or "epoch."
  • Weighted Voting: Squad members vote on active proposals (up, down, or abstain). A user's DeFAI token holdings (points) determine their voting weight, with a minimum point threshold required to participate.
  • Lifecycle & Notifications: Proposals transition through a clear lifecycle (`active` -> `closed_passed`/`closed_failed`/`closed_executed` -> `archived`). Squad members receive notifications at key stages, suchs as new proposal creation and result announcements.
  • Automated Processing: A backend cron job automatically processes proposals once their voting period ends. It calculates final tallies, determines pass/fail based on net vote weight, updates statuses, and handles (or will handle) the execution of token distribution for passed proposals.
  • Proposal Cancellation: Squad leaders can cancel an active proposal, provided no votes have been cast.
  • Real-time Monitoring: A comprehensive dashboard to track your agent's performance, view its transaction history, and monitor your smart wallet balances and LP NFT positions.
  • Manual Smart Wallet Interaction: Easily send and receive SOL and DEFAI tokens to/from your agent's smart wallet directly through the platform interface.
  • DEFAI Token Ecosystem: The native DEFAI token plays a crucial role in platform governance, agent deployment prerequisites, and potentially future staking and reward mechanisms.

Why DEFAI Rewards is Optimal for AI Agent Integration

Integrating AI agents into DeFi presents unique challenges and opportunities. DEFAI Yield is built from the ground up to address these:

  1. Dedicated & Secure Agent Environment:
    • The Crossmint smart wallet acts as a secure, isolated execution environment for the agent. This is paramount because AI agents, by their nature, require programmatic access to funds. Separating the agent's wallet from the user's primary wallet significantly mitigates risk.
    • The agent's operational funds are distinct, making it easier to track its P&L and manage its capital.
  2. Simplified Onboarding & Key Management:
    • Crossmint's infrastructure handles the complexities of wallet creation and key management for the agent's smart wallet. This lowers the barrier to entry for users who may not be crypto-native but want to leverage AI in DeFi.
    • The hybrid authentication system ensures that agents can securely communicate with the necessary backend services using industry-standard JWTs, without exposing the user's primary wallet credentials.
  3. Programmable Control & Risk Management:
    • Users can define the agent's risk tolerance, directly influencing its operational strategy. This allows for a tailored approach where the AI's autonomy is balanced with user oversight.
    • The ability to provision specific amounts of SOL (for gas) and DEFAI (for operations) to the smart wallet gives users fine-grained control over the agent's resources.
  4. Built for Autonomy:
    • The architecture (serverless Fleek deployment, smart contract interactions) is designed for agents that can operate 24/7 without continuous user intervention.
    • Future features like advanced goal-setting and function permissions for agents will further enhance their autonomous capabilities.
  5. Transparency & Future Extensibility:
    • By operating on-chain (Solana) and with plans for detailed logging and monitoring, the platform aims for transparency in agent actions.
    • The modular design allows for future integration of more sophisticated AI models, new DeFi protocols, and expanded agent functionalities (e.g., managing LP NFTs, automated rebalancing).

DEFAI Rewards is not just another yield farming platform; it's a forward-looking ecosystem designed to unlock the immense potential of combining AI with DeFi. By providing a secure, user-friendly, and robust environment for AI agents, we empower users to navigate the complexities of decentralized finance with unprecedented intelligence and efficiency.
