DeFAI layer edwin has announced the public launch of its AI terminal. Its release marks a shift in how users interact with decentralized finance.
In a press release shared with Cryptowisser, edwin said this latest development will make AI-powered DeFi (DeFAI) accessible to everyday users through a simple chat interface.
The team explained that, typically, crypto wallets serve as the primary access point to DeFi, providing basic swap and yield tools while generating revenue through fees. However, these interfaces often remained unintuitive, especially for new users. Now, AI is disrupting this space by transforming how people interact with financial software, turning complex actions into simple conversations.
edwin bridges the gap between DeFi and AI by allowing users to manage their investments via intelligent agents. Its AI terminal provides a user-friendly interface for connecting to DeFi applications. After connecting their web wallet, users can chat with a smart AI agent that simplifies access to a broad range of onchain protocols. Transactions are executed by simply typing a natural-language command.
edwin’s terminal is perfect for both beginners and intermediate users as it eliminates the complexity normally associated with DeFi. Users retain full control of their assets, with the agent acting only on direct instruction.
While commenting on this launch, Liran Markin, CEO of edwin, said,
“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.”
edwin CTO Gal Wiernik added,
“We’ve built this terminal for the next wave of crypto users. It combines wallet security, AI reasoning, and real DeFi tools – all from your browser.”
Research reveals that roughly 65% of new users disengage after their first dapp interaction. Issues with onboarding and UX have led to low user retention, preventing DeFi from achieving mainstream adoption.
edwin’s AI terminal is set to solve those challenges, eliminate friction and allow users to enjoy their time onchain. The terminal’s built-in AI agent uses LangChain, Anthropic, and edwin’s MCP tooling for DeFi execution. It’s capable of interacting with an array of leading DeFi services, aggregating core primitives such as trading, lending, and yield farming into a single interface.
Furthermore, edwin’s non-custodial design ensures users maintain full asset control while unlocking the full value of DeFi.
edwin is a DeFAI layer that enables users to safely explore the world of decentralized finance from a seamless chat interface. It empowers DeFi users to access advanced onchain financial services – regardless of technical knowledge. In just a few clicks, users can connect their wallet and start exploring the best that DeFi has to offer, with the AI terminal providing market insights and executing transactions based on human-readable text prompts.
