Edwin Launches Game-Changing AI Terminal to Demystify DeFi for the Masses
DeFi just got a brain upgrade. Edwin's new AI-powered terminal slices through decentralized finance complexity like a hot wallet through butter—no finance degree required.
Finally, a DeFi dashboard that doesn't look like an alien spreadsheet. The platform promises to translate crypto-jargon into plain English while automating yield strategies that would make a Wall Street quant sweat.
Because let's face it—if traditional finance had solved this problem, we wouldn't need blockchain in the first place.
A Wild edwin Appears
Edwin is an owl who operates at the vanguard of DeFAI – the onchain vertical concerned with marrying DeFi and AI. The idea is that by making it easier for humans to interact with onchain protocols, more people will be able to get more out of DeFi. Not only in terms of value, but also enjoyment, comprehension, and all the other reasons why individuals might be drawn to DeFi.
edwin’s take on this is its eponymous AI terminal that serves as a universal access point for DeFi. Not only does the chatty owl aggregate an array of services under one roof but it provides a conversational assistant capable of interacting with them on the user’s behalf. If edwin (the developer)’s thesis is vindicated, the web wallet will no longer become the primary access point for DeFi – instead that honor will go to edwin (the terminal).
Naturally, there’s a web wallet built into edwin, but this has been largely abstracted to make onboarding and interactions easier. By conversing in human terms with edwin, the user can get the owl to perform specific tasks such as swapping tokens or placing stablecoins in a lending pool. Despite being built with user experience paramount, edwin still retains the Core properties that are integral to DeFi such as non-custodial design.
Talk to edwin
Competition to become the industry’s first mass market AI assistant is intense, given the potential for the winning product to dominate the industry for years to come. The edwin team is understandably confident that its AI is capable of fulfilling this role, with CEO Liran Markin venturing: “We believe that DeFi should be as easy as chatting. The new edwin terminal is our way of making onchain finance finally accessible to the average user. It’s secure, powerful, and highly intuitive.”
As befits an AI developer, the edwin team has taken a data-driven approach to designing their intelligent terminal. They cite research showing that the majority of users disengage after connecting to their first dapp, which is a clear sign of web3’s onboarding challenges that persist.
If AIs such as edwin can guide new users through the tricky part of getting started and show them the opportunities that lie on the other side, it’s hoped that not only will retention rates climb, but DeFi will start working for everyone – not just the tech-savvy. With the terminal now live, the public can see for themselves if the future of DeFi is married to that of AI by having a casual chat with edwin.
