Rivalz Enters a New Era: DeFAI
AI-Powered DeFi for Everyone
Over the past months, Rivalz has been building and refining the foundation of something bigger. We’ve developed the Agentic DEX, Swarms, Sidelined, ADCS and more. Each piece contributes to the infrastructure that now supports our next evolution: DeFAI.
DeFAI is where AI-native intelligence meets DeFi mechanics to create a system that is transparent, verifiable, and accessible to everyone.
Our AI-powered agents will optimize yield strategies on stable assets, delivering sustainable results while sharing performance in a way anyone can trust.
These agents will be fully self-custodial and feature verifiable proof of intelligence recorded on the Rivalz Chain, making them unique in the space and providing unprecedented security, transparency, and trust.
ADCS as AI Oracles
Our Data Coordination Service will help as a decentralized oracle layer. Not just for prices, but for trusted AI insights and strategies. Every signal, inference, or decision produced by our AI agents is validated and consumable by smart contracts, making intelligence both actionable and verifiable.
Rivalz Chain for Trusted AI Outputs
All AI-generated insights are anchored on the Rivalz chain, giving them a trusted and transparent record. This ensures that DeFAI agents operate on a solid foundation, and that every user can verify outcomes confidently.
zNodes: The Backbone
Our node infrastructure is central to this system. zNodes validate and distribute AI outputs across the network, making them reliable and ready for use in any on-chain strategy.
Building on What We’ve Learned
As Rivalz evolves, we are refining our product lineup to focus on what creates the most lasting impact.
Every product, experiment, and campaign has taught us something valuable, and those learnings are shaping the next stage of our journey.
Some earlier initiatives will now close as we channel our energy toward a more unified, sustainable, and community-driven DeFAI ecosystem.
Through everything we’ve created, we’ve gathered insights that guide the direction of DeFAI.
Swarms
While the community embraced Swarms with enthusiasm, we’ve decided to close this chapter. Updates regarding Swarms assets will be shared once the review is complete.
The foundation built with it remains valuable and will support our ongoing DeFAI journey.
Sidelined / InfoFi
Our exploration of the InfoFi market with Sidelined provided valuable insights for the project. However, the platform will be retired, as the Yapper season did not deliver the expected returns and the InfoFi market is currently very diluted. This decision allows us to focus our energy and resources on products that generate sustainable value and clear benefits for the entire community.
Agentic DEX
The initial DEX concept provided the community with access to tokens and multi-chain projects. Moving forward, we are simplifying participation so everyone can engage, independent of the size of their wallet, creating a fairer and more inclusive environment.
Rivalz Agents will be fully self-custodial, giving users complete control and autonomy over their actions, assets, and strategies within the Agentic DEX.
From Vision to Reality: The DeFAI Era Begins
The real excitement comes from what we can build together. The infrastructure, ADCS oracles, and Rivalz Chain now form the pillars of DeFAI. We are calibrating our AI agents for DeFi, aligning them with these foundations to deliver a system that is not only impactful but truly groundbreaking and ready for sustainable growth.
Empowering the Core of the Ecosystem
As we shape the next phase of Rivalz through DeFAI, the strongest benefits will flow to those who have supported and secured the network from the start. $RIZ stakers along with zNode holders, will stand at the center of the DeFAI ecosystem, gaining enhanced yields and unique participation opportunities as the platform expands.
This alignment ensures that those who believe in Rivalz long-term are rewarded not only for participating, but for helping power the intelligence that drives DeFAI forward.
The Convergence: Rivalz Chain, ADCS and AI Agents United
Together, the Rivalz Chain, ADCS and AI agents form a powerhouse of intelligence and execution. These agents will feature verifiable proof of intelligence, permanently recorded on the Rivalz Chain. Every decision, action and insight they produce will be transparent, auditable and fully secure. Rivalz becomes the first ecosystem where AI intelligence in DeFi can be trusted, proven and relied upon at scale.
By learning from everything we’ve built, we are channeling our experience into a sharper, more focused vision. DeFAI is not just another DeFi product.
It is a new era for Rivalz, where AI intelligence is verifiable, yields are sustainable, participation is inclusive and every action is secure and transparent by design.
We are thrilled for this next chapter and cannot wait to see the community thrive alongside us as we bring these three interconnected products to life.
