In the field of internet travel, Uber is able to change people’s way of travel in a short period of time, mainly because it cleverly integrates basic functions such as maps, payment, and messaging, rather than developing them from scratch. Google Maps provides location for it, Stripe handles payment processing, Twilio is responsible for message push, and Uber focuses on creating a first-class taxi experience.

Similarly, for DeFi developers, the ability to efficiently “call” rather than “build” infrastructure becomes the key to determining the efficiency of innovation. However, there isn’t yet a mature and versatile infrastructure in the crypto space that is as mature and versatile as Stripe or Twilio. Developers are often forced to delve into the underlying logic of each public chain or protocol, write and maintain a large number of smart contracts, and pay high audit fees. Just like any project such as DeFi social trading, lending, automation, etc., the first step is to dig up protocol documents and write integration code, and developers should be focusing on creating differentiated features, but they spend a lot of time and resources in the endless “building wheels”.

In the process of exploring the DeFAI narrative, the author found that the ‘DeFi+AI’ narrative also faces the same issue. Although AI Agents can discover arbitrage opportunities and design profit strategies, there is a huge gap between AI’s ability to conceive these strategies and actually execute them on the chain, and Enso’s existence makes the DeFAI narrative become more
