This report on the DeFAI track is written by Web3Caff Research researcher Clare Yang, focusing on how AI intelligent agent systems can lower the threshold for on-chain interactions, with four paths of verification.

① Can DeFAI achieve truly semantic-driven on-chain operations through a four-layer architecture of intention recognition, strategy reasoning, and execution feedback?

② Is a multi-agent system sufficient to support the entire process of complex tasks such as strategy generation, protocol collaboration, and execution scheduling?

③ Have representative projects such as Virtuals, HeyAnon, and Griffain built an on-chain intelligent agent network with practical capabilities?

④ In the face of risks such as strategy ininterpretability, MEV attacks, and data compliance, are there systemic challenges at the technical or governance level?

We have also included key content such as the point structure diagram, the DeFAI four-layer collaborative architecture diagram, a comparison table of representative projects, and the ecological evolution path.

Hester Peirce, a Republican commissioner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), pointed out in a statement on July 9 that tokenization can be done in two ways: the issuer can mint a blockchain version of its own stock, or a custodian can wrap third-party securities and issue receipts.

If Bitcoin is a form of rebellion, then stablecoins are a product that seeks to find a balance between ideals and reality. They must carry the vision of technology while obeying the order of finance; they need to retain the enthusiasm of innovators while facing the cold gaze of regulators. It is in this tug-of-war that we see a more realistic Web3 world taking shape, which this article discusses.
