The decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem continues to grow at an exponential pace, and one of the most promising developments is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with DeFi, known as DeFAI. This merger of blockchain technology and AI promises to revolutionize on-chain interactions by providing 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. In recent months, HeyAnon has laid the foundation for this vision, making every interaction on the blockchain transparent, secure and deterministic. The introduction of AUTOMATE will take this vision to new heights by providing 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 providing a standard framework in TypeScript. This allows developers to easily contribute and integrate their favorite protocols into HeyAnon. The platform plans to scale its ecosystem through parallel integrations, with multiple contributors submitting pull requests that add new deterministic paths for DeFi interactions. In doing so, HeyAnon aims to become the first true multi-chain abstraction layer for DeFi, bridging the gap between Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and Solana ecosystems.
Why strict tooling is important for DeFAI and its expansion into multiple chains
The concept of strict tooling is at the core of HeyAnon’s approach to DeFAI. The platform ensures that every conversation in the chain is validated using predetermined schedules and patterns. This ‘deterministic logic’ prevents uncertainty or ‘hallucinations’ from occurring within the system. By enforcing predictable execution and prioritizing security, the platform minimizes the risk of bad data, which can lead to costly mistakes such as lost money.
The introduction of AUTOMATE continues this ethos by ensuring developers use typed, schema-based interactions when implementing DeFi integrations. This eliminates all the guesswork and ensures that the automated agents created with this framework will work within 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 includes 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 allows developers to create cross-chain modules, allowing them to bridge assets, participate in yield farms, and build new tools for each of these ecosystems within a unified and consistent framework. Additionally, support for Solana will be introduced soon, with guidance on how developers can integrate into the architecture.
By creating a unified environment across multiple chains, HeyAnon improves the ease of onboarding developers to contribute modules and drives greater user adoption. Once integrated, end users can seamlessly access these protocols through the HeyAnon interface or AI-driven agents, eliminating the confusion of dealing with chain-specific decentralized applications (dApps). This in turn accelerates the adoption of DeFAI and increases the appeal of decentralized finance in various blockchain ecosystems.
Encouraging developer contributions for a community-driven DeFAI future
To further accelerate integrations, HeyAnon is launching a DAO proposal that allocates funding to 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 and reward developers for their contributions to the expansion of the HeyAnon ecosystem.
The grants range from $6.9,000 to $420,000, 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 major player in the future of decentralized finance. Through community-driven integrations, rigorous tools, and multi-chain support, HeyAnon helps bridge the gap between various DeFi protocols and AI infrastructure. The combination of a robust grant program, an inclusive approach to development and a commitment to interoperability ensures HeyAnon remains at the forefront of DeFAI innovation.
As the DeFi and AI landscape continues 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.
