Abstract
The SynFutures AI Framework is our ambitious vision to fully integrate AI automation into DeFi—transforming onchain finance into a more efficient, intuitive, and accessible ecosystem. Our journey begins with Synthia, an AI trading agent that lets users execute trades and manage assets through natural language commands. But this is only the start.
Our roadmap envisions a dynamic, open AI agent ecosystem, empowering anyone to build custom agents and ultimately unleashing meta agents that autonomously create and manage other agents for complex DeFi strategies. Together, these innovations will democratize financial products and services, making decentralized finance inclusive for all. Sign up here.

Embracing the ChatGPT moment for DeFi
At SynFutures, we launched a leading decentralized derivatives exchange with a singular mission: to democratize financial markets and fulfill DeFi’s promise of financial liberty and equality for all. Yet, even after the promise of DeFi Summer, the user experience on decentralized platforms remains underdeveloped.
So, how can DeFi surpass centralized finance in terms of user experience? Look to Web2 for insight. Who would have thought there’d ever be a challenge to Google’s search dominance? The answer wasn’t simply a “better” search engine—it was ChatGPT, a revolutionary solution that transformed how we interact with technology.
Likewise, in crypto, progress won’t come from launching yet another exchange. Instead, it will emerge from an interface that goes further—one that learns your habits, anticipates your needs, and safeguards your assets before you even ask.
This is why we’re introducing the SynFutures AI x Crypto framework—a paradigm-shifting fusion of advanced AI and decentralized finance. At the intersection of cutting-edge technology and seamless user interaction, it will empower users with an autonomous, intelligent financial experience that redefines the future of DeFi.
What we’re building
We’ve divided our execution roadmap into three phases. Upon complete rollout, it will help users execute any type of DeFi trade, manage assets, and automate complex strategies solely through natural language commands. What’s more, it will enable any builder to deploy their AI agents, and agents-created agents to perform such DeFi tasks at a scalable level.
Let’s now take a look at what each phase of the development roadmap will involve.
Phase 1: AI execution agents
The first phase focuses on introducing AI-powered execution agents to simplify DeFi interactions through natural language processing and automated trade execution.
Here’s what Phase 1 will look like:
Products & Features
- DeFi execution agent
- Processes text-based commands, including X posts to execute on-chain operations such as swaps and transfers. Live at launch.
- Initially integrated with SynFutures Spot Aggregator, with planned expansion to other major DeFi protocols and chains to more complex operations.
- Smart order routing to ensure users receive the best execution price and time.
- Perp trading, liquidity management, real-time market insights, and more advanced features to be added soon.
- Real-time insights and insight-based execution
- Integrates on-chain and off-chain data sources for real-time market analysis.
- Sends actionable alerts and updates based on predefined user strategies.
- Enable users to execute trades by replying to notifications.
This phase will establish the technical foundation for AI-powered DeFi. It’ll allow us enough bandwidth to deploy and test agents using our framework before we roll it for public usage. In doing so, Synthia and its future upgrades will let users intuitively engage with DeFi in easy mode.
Phase 2: AI agent development ecosystem
Building on our learnings and improvements from deploying Synthia and its numerous capabilities, we’ll initiate Phase 2 and introduce an open framework to allow developers, traders, and entrepreneurs to create their own custom AI agents tailored for DeFi.
Products & Features
- Modular developer framework
- Provides API and SDK access for on-chain interactions, strategy parsing, and social trading.
- Empowers users to customize their AI trading agents.
- Visual no-code AI agent builder
- A drag-and-drop tool for creating, modifying, and deploying AI-powered DeFi agents.
- Lowers the entry barrier, making advanced DeFi automation accessible to all users.
- Pre-built, multi-scenario templates
- Ready-made AI agents designed for specific tasks such as trading strategies, market analysis, and liquidity management systems, etc.
- Enables users to deploy AI agents without building them from scratch.
- Integrated monetization mechanisms
- Users can create custom token models, staking mechanisms, and airdrop programs to generate revenue through their agents.
- AI agent marketplace
- The marketplace will allow users to buy, sell, and deploy AI agent templates, plugins, and data APIs, creating a flourishing ecosystem of AI tools and agents that collectively drive DeFi forward.
Each step within this phase will democratize the development of AI-powered DeFi, creating a fair playground for everyone to test, build, deploy, monetize, and become an AI-powered solo entrepreneur.
Phase 3: Meta Agents
It’s only a matter of time before AI agents can create their own agents in specialized tasks at scale. That’s where Phase 3 of the framework comes in. Meta Agents as AI-powered entities will autonomously create and manage other AI agents.
Products & Features
- Autonomous agent generation
- Meta agents will be able to design, deploy, and optimize new AI agents based on real-time market conditions and user needs.
- Users can request any action and the meta agent will automatically take care of executing all steps in the process through different agents.
- Multi-agent collaboration
- AI agents will be able to communicate and coordinate with each other to execute complex, multi-step DeFi strategies.
- Self-learning and adaptive AI
- Meta agents will leverage reinforcement learning and continuous feedback loops to improve their decision-making and execution strategies.
This phase will simplify DeFi to the point where any user, irrespective of their understanding of DeFi, will easily navigate DeFi transactions. All of it will be powered by natural language commands and AI agents deployed on SynFutues.
The meta agents will also evolve independently, optimizing strategies and adapting to changing market conditions to deliver better services to users.
What Sets Our Framework Apart
- Onchain Operation Intelligence
Our blockchain-native AI framework supports a wide range of onchain operations and various onchain protocols, ensuring transparency, security, and composability.
- Meta Agent Innovation
Our novel technology built in partnership with top AI labs and universities enable meta agents to autonomously create and manage additional agents, unlocking scalable, self-sustaining automation.
- Expert-Guided Prompt Optimization
Tapping into deep Web3 expertise, our framework guides users to craft effective prompts for improved agent performance.
- Flexible Memory Management & Personality Enhancement
Our dynamic memory mechanism and automated personality building allow agents to evolve and better understand user intent—far beyond static, window-based approaches.
- Robust Security Measures
Built-in security analyzers and audits ensure that agent operations, including sensitive onchain interactions, meet high standards of safety.
A new era of AI-powered DeFi
The SynFutures AI Framework represents a significant leap in decentralized finance. By seamlessly blending AI-driven automation with fully onchain execution, we’re unlocking new opportunities for efficiency, accessibility, and user empowerment. This is more than a technical upgrade—it’s a fundamental rethinking of how financial services can be delivered in a decentralized world.
