Introducing AUTOMATE: HeyAnon’s DeFAI Framework

The decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem continues to grow at an exponential pace, and one of the most promising advancements is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with DeFi—known as DeFAI. This fusion of blockchain technology and AI promises to revolutionize on-chain interactions by offering automated, deterministic, and secure solutions for complex blockchain operations. Today, HeyAnon announces the launch of its latest tool, AUTOMATE, a TypeScript framework that aims to simplify the integration of any DeFi protocol into the HeyAnon ecosystem.

At the core of the HeyAnon vision is a universal “smart layer” that performs multi-step transactions, governance tasks, and data analysis with a secure and validated approach. Over the past few months, HeyAnon has laid the groundwork for this vision, ensuring every interaction on the blockchain is transparent, secure, and deterministic. The introduction of AUTOMATE is set to take this vision to new heights by offering a developer-friendly framework that allows anyone to integrate any DeFi protocol into the HeyAnon ecosystem.

The overarching goal of AUTOMATE is to eliminate the need for custom-coded modules by offering a standard framework in TypeScript. This will enable developers to contribute easily and integrate their favorite protocols into HeyAnon. The platform envisions scaling its ecosystem through parallel integrations, where multiple contributors submit pull requests that add new deterministic paths for DeFi interactions. In doing so, HeyAnon aspires to become the first true multi-chain abstraction layer for DeFi, bridging Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and Solana ecosystems.

Why Strict Tooling Matters for DeFAI and Its Multi-Chain Expansion

The concept of strict tooling lies at the heart of HeyAnon’s approach to DeFAI. The platform ensures that every on-chain call is validated using predetermined schemas and patterns. This “deterministic logic” prevents any uncertainty, or “hallucinations,” from occurring within the system. By enforcing predictable execution and prioritizing security, the platform minimizes the risk of erroneous data, which could lead to costly mistakes, such as lost funds.

The introduction of AUTOMATE continues this ethos by ensuring that developers use typed, schema-based interactions when deploying DeFi integrations. This removes any guesswork, ensuring that the automated agents created using this framework will operate within the strictly validated boundaries. As a result, the platform remains secure, transparent, and reliable—essential qualities for large organizations and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs).

The initial launch of AUTOMATE brings support for several Layer 2 (L2) and Layer 1 (L1) chains, including Arbitrum, Base, Avalanche, BNB Chain, IoTa EVM, Kava EVM, and Sonic. This broad chain coverage ensures that developers can create cross-chain modules, allowing them to bridge assets, participate in yield farms, and build new tooling for any of these ecosystems within a unified and consistent framework. Moreover, support for Solana will be introduced soon, with guidelines on how developers can integrate into its architecture.

By creating a unified environment across multiple chains, HeyAnon enhances the ease of onboarding developers to contribute modules and promotes greater user adoption. Once integrated, end-users can access these protocols seamlessly via the HeyAnon interface or AI-driven agents, avoiding the confusion of dealing with chain-specific decentralized applications (dApps). This, in turn, accelerates the adoption of DeFAI and broadens the appeal of decentralized finance across different blockchain ecosystems.

Incentivizing Developer Contributions for a Community-Driven DeFAI Future

To further accelerate integrations, HeyAnon is launching a DAO proposal that allocates funding for developers to build pull requests (PRs) for integrating new DeFi protocols and data streams. The proposal offers up to 2% of unallocated $ANON tokens and up to $1M USDC from the treasury. These funds will support new integrations, rewarding developers for their contributions to expanding the HeyAnon ecosystem.

Grants will range from $6.9k to $420k, depending on the complexity of the integration. By providing open-source developers with the opportunity to earn financial rewards, HeyAnon fosters a collaborative environment where new ideas can flourish, accelerating the overall growth of the DeFAI ecosystem.

With AUTOMATE, HeyAnon is positioning itself to become a key player in the future of decentralized finance. Through community-driven integrations, strict tooling, and multi-chain support, HeyAnon is helping to bridge gaps between different DeFi protocols and AI infrastructure. The combination of a robust grants program, an inclusive approach to development, and a commitment to interoperability ensures that HeyAnon remains at the forefront of DeFAI innovation.

As the DeFi and AI landscapes continue to evolve, HeyAnon’s introduction of AUTOMATE promises to simplify and secure on-chain interactions, making it easier for developers, users, and organizations to tap into the vast potential of decentralized finance.
