🏦DeFAI Architecture

DeFAI (Decentralized Financial Artificial Intelligence) is the protocol-level architecture that allows AI agents to autonomously interact with DeFi markets, execute strategies, and evolve based on performance feedback β€” all without centralized intervention.

HyperCognition’s DeFAI stack transforms the way trading logic, yield generation, and risk modeling are deployed across chains. It does so via three composable pillars:


Agent Layer

AI agents are autonomous trading entities trained on historical market data, HyperMind predictions, and evolving DeFi logic. They operate as:

  • Single-purpose Agents: Built for specific roles (e.g. liquid staking arbitrage, volatility scalping, LP optimization)

  • Multi-modal Agents: Capable of switching strategies based on real-time data

  • Swarm Agents: Coordinated groups of agents sharing intelligence and optimizing as a team

Each agent contains:

  • A core strategy module (rule-based or neural)

  • HyperMind-linked intent interpretation

  • On-chain executor logic for DEX, perp, lending, and bridge interactions


Execution Layer

This is the infrastructure that lets agents act in real time, across chains:

  • Smart Execution Contracts: Modular and auditable contracts that agents use to route trades, rebalance, or unwind positions

  • Agent Wallets: Isolated smart wallets for each agent, enabling user deposits, performance tracking, and reward splits

  • Permissioned/Permissionless Modes: Users can follow open agents or deploy private agents with access control


Incentive Layer

To make agents thrive, DeFAI includes a full token-driven incentive mechanism:

  • Stake-to-Activate: Users stake $HCG to activate or scale agents

  • Performance Mining: Agents that generate yield or alpha earn token emissions

  • Slashing & Delegation: Underperforming agents lose stake; high-performers attract delegation

  • Social Training Layer: Community can upvote/downvote agent outputs, feeding back into HyperMind retraining cycles
