ZyFAI
AI · Base, Arbitrum, Ethereum +2
ZyFAI is a self-custodial DeFi yield agent that moves deposits between vetted lending pools on Base, Arbitrum, Ethereum, Sonic and Plasma. Its main selling point is limited-permission automation, but users still carry smart-contract and protocol risk.
ScoreScore 7.3 out of 10TVL $8.63M−5.3% - 2
MorpheusAI
AI · Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base
Morpheus is a decentralized AI network that pays daily MOR emissions to people who supply capital, compute, code and builder projects. It is a real working product with an OpenAI-compatible API, but returns and token value carry market risk.
ScoreScore 7.0 out of 10TVL $11.4M−32.1% - 3
Chutes
AI · Bittensor
Chutes is a decentralized, serverless inference platform for open-source AI models on Bittensor, offering an OpenAI-compatible API and pay-as-you-go pricing. It is easy to adopt for developers, but it has no listed audits and its privacy depends on choosing TEE models.
ScoreScore 7.0 out of 10TVL $44.1M−7.1% - 4
Yala
AI · Bitcoin, Ethereum
Yala's current site presents an AI agent that turns market and on-chain signals into fair-value probabilities. Its roadmap and product access are not fully clear, and its current description differs from older protocol listings.
ScoreScore 5.0 out of 10TVL $2.18M−4.0% - 5
Mind Network
AI · Ethereum, Scroll, BNB Chain +1
Mind Network builds fully homomorphic encryption infrastructure so AI agents and onchain apps can compute on encrypted data. Its newest product, x402z, targets confidential agent-to-agent payments, but listed on-chain TVL is small.
ScoreScore 6.8 out of 10TVL $24.6K−0.3% - 6
Infinite Trading Protocol
AI · Base, Optimism, Ethereum +4
Infinite Trading Protocol offers non-custodial vaults where AI agents and automations run trading and yield strategies across several EVM chains. TVL is small, so it suits users comfortable with early-stage DeFi risk.
ScoreScore 6.2 out of 10TVL $181K−4.5% - 7
Openart
AI
OpenArt is a subscription AI studio for generating images, video and music from 100+ models, billed through monthly credits. It suits creators who want many models in one place, but video use drives the cost.
ScoreScore 7.8 out of 10TVL — - 8
Venice
AI · Base
Venice is a privacy-focused AI platform for text, image, video and audio generation, with a developer API and a VVV token on Base. Its main draw is tiered privacy; its main caveat is that stronger privacy tiers and credits are not equally available to every user.
ScoreScore 7.6 out of 10TVL $0 - 9
Kismet
AI
Kismet is an AI agent built into Unreal Engine that edits Blueprints and other project assets, then checks changes with editor and compiler feedback. It offers a focused workflow for professional developers, but it is still in beta and requires your own AI provider key.
ScoreScore 7.5 out of 10TVL — - 10
Salad (SaladCloud) is a distributed GPU cloud that pools idle consumer and workstation GPUs to run AI containers and inference at low per-second prices. It suits cost-sensitive, interruption-tolerant workloads more than regulated or latency-critical ones.
ScoreScore 7.4 out of 10TVL — - 11
Moss
AI
Moss is an AI support agent embedded in web products that answers from company documentation, guides users through live screens and proposes improvements for team approval. Its hands-on product workflow is clearly described, but pricing and independent security details are not published.
ScoreScore 7.2 out of 10TVL — - 12
QuantixAI, branded QuantiX on its website, offers no-code strategy research, backtesting and automated trading on users’ own exchange accounts. Its non-custodial setup limits custody risk, but users still face strategy losses and API-access risk.
