Executive Overview
1.1 Problem Statement
DeFi has matured into a patchwork of chains, wallets, and bots that still relies on human-triggered transactions and brittle off-chain automation. This leaves a gap between cognition (AI decision-making) and settlement (on-chain execution). Without a purpose-built Agent OS for DeFi, autonomous strategies remain siloed, liquidity is under-utilised, and compliance is bolted on after the fact—far from the promise of truly Autonomous Decentralized Finance.
1.2 Vision & Mission
Vision — Catalyse a new era of Autonomous Decentralized Finance where fleets of AI agents move capital, provide liquidity, and coordinate complex strategies entirely on-chain, 24x7.
Mission — Deliver Degents, the definitive Agent OS for DeFi: a unified runtime that equips every agent with a secure multi-chain wallet, high-bandwidth coordination primitives, and a composable action fabric, empowering developers to launch self-funded, self-governing digital workers that transform fragmented markets into a fluid, machine-native economy.
1.3 High-Level Value Proposition
Developers
Multiple SDKs, manual key management
Single stack unifying wallets, coordination, and protocol calls—foundation for Autonomous DeFi agents
Traders / Funds
Latency, manual oversight
Millisecond execution by specialised agents that learn, hedge, and rebalance autonomously
Enterprises / DAOs
Ad-hoc compliance and spend controls
Policy engine with KYC hooks, spend limits, and on-chain auditability
Protocol Builders
Fragmented integrations
Publish once as an “Action”; instantly accessible to every Degents agent across chains

Degents subsumes the wallet strength of AgentKit, the orchestration depth of elizaOS, and the structured tool-calling of Agno into a single, opinionated agent OS for DeFi—the missing substrate for truly autonomous decentralized finance.
