Understanding DeFAI Agents

A true DeFAI agent operates autonomously within defined parameters, similar to teaching a child to walk while setting safe boundaries.

Challenges and Considerations

• Risk of AI hallucination affecting financial decisions
• Need for robust infrastructure and frameworks
• Balance between automation and safety measures

The future success of DeFAI will likely be determined by the quality of infrastructure, frameworks, and marketplaces rather than individual agents.
