InfoFi Trinity "Mouth-Looting" Guide: Kaito, Cookie, and Galxe
Over the past week, the cryptocurrency market has been sluggish, but "mouth-looting" has gained attention as a new way to participate. This article focuses on the three major "mouth-looting" projects: Kaito, Cookie, and Galxe. In the past week, the market has been in a tug-of-war, with the overall cryptocurrency market falling into a slump.

The Quiet End of an Era: How Wallets Lost the Battle for Traffic to CEXs
An era has quietly come to an end. Wallets, as standalone products, seem to have reached their twilight. Struggling with profitability, they are increasingly being acquired or integrated by centralized exchanges (CEXs) or traditional fintech giants, becoming mere components of larger ecosystems—such as stablecoin payments—rather than the focal point of industry development.The Decline of Standalone WalletsFor entrepreneurs in the space, persistence has become a virtue in itself. The goal? Sur...

From SynFutures to AI Agents: A New Era for DeFAI
The product form of AI Agents is more suited to appear as embedded service middleware, which helps to bring the trading experience back to the simplicity and intuitiveness of Web2. The revival of the AI Agent track will not be driven by "CA engineers" who excel in performance, but by "product engineers" who focus on practical implementation.
In the midst of a market sentiment storm caused by the collective failure of on-chain PVP leaders and the record-breaking losses (liquidations) in altcoin chains, the sub-track of AI Agents—DeFAI—is quietly transitioning from the stage of narrative output and market mindshare capture to competing for users through product power. As the top perpetual contract DEX on Base, SynFutures has announced the launch of its AI Agent, fully committing to this round of DeFAI innovation.
This marks the third time in SynFutures' history that the team has proactively stepped out of its comfort zone to seek self-breakthroughs, from the niche market of NFT perpetual contracts on the Ethereum mainnet to embracing the Blast ecosystem, and now to the Base ecosystem and full commitment to DeFAI.
Traditional DEX trading processes are cumbersome, with users needing to open a Dapp, connect a wallet, approve authorizations, and confirm transactions—each step being a potential point of user loss. SynFutures' DeFAI product has chosen not to replicate the chatroom UX of current blue-chip DeFAIs, but to bring trading back to the environment most familiar to users—Twitter. By sending a natural language command to the AI Agent, such as "buy ETH with 20% of funds," the trade is executed.
This innovation in user experience will significantly lower the barrier to entry for DeFAI. More importantly, by integrating with the Twitter ecosystem, it combines trading with social interaction. For example:
Users can copy trades directly from analysts' bullish comments.
Bets on token price movements with friends can be settled directly in conversation.
Every trading suggestion from a KOL becomes an executable smart contract.
Currently, there are several types of DeFAI AI Agents on the market:
Generalist Agents like HeyAnon, offering comprehensive DeFi services.
DEX Trading Agents like Bankr, focusing on token trading.
Autonomous Trading Agents like Kudai, which act as traders themselves.
Functional Agents like Simulacrum, specializing in specific scenarios.
SynFutures has chosen a differentiated path, focusing on perfecting perpetual contract trading. This strategy offers several significant advantages for SynFutures:
Addressing Pain Points: Perpetual contract trading is highly specialized, and lowering the barrier through AI offers the most value.
Clear Monetization: Trading fees are a direct source of revenue.
Deep Moat: Backed by its mature PerpDEX infrastructure, SynFutures' model is not easily replicable.
Notably, SynFutures' Agent will initially support spot trading, gradually introducing advanced features like leverage and stop-loss, and eventually enabling cross-chain trading capabilities. This approach ensures a stable user experience while maintaining market interest, with each feature upgrade becoming a new marketing highlight.
SynFutures' foray into DeFAI validates the notion that AI Agents are best suited as embedded service middleware, simplifying the trading experience to the level of Web2. The chatroom UX paradigms of Griffain and Buzz are not user-friendly for non-Degen players and have low intent expression efficiency.
In the future, AI Agents will be deeply integrated with chain abstraction, forming an intent Solver layer that connects users with complex smart contracts.
