SynFutures, a decentralized derivatives platform built on Base, announced the launch of its artificial intelligence trading agent called Synthia. 

Synthia's launch is a part of the platform's broader rollout of AI-focused decentralized finance initiatives. The first phase includes launching AI agents embedded into the social media platform X that can transfer cryptocurrencies based on language commands, followed by an open framework for allowing traders to enact custom AI agents for their specific needs, according to a company release shared with The Block.

The third and final phase includes a "meta agent" that can manage numerous AI crypto trading agents, the release said. 

"At SynFutures, we believe that DeFi should be accessible to everyone," said SynFutures Co-Founder and CEO Rachel Lin. "Our goal is to abstract the complexities and fundamentally change DeFi’s role in everyday life. As we launch Synthia today, we are making DeFi more secure, transparent, and widely attainable by leveraging AI to remove all technical complexities. Synthia marks the beginning of the DeFAI movement and we are fully committed to shaping an automated DeFi future."

In November 2024, SynFutures launched a perpetual futures launchpad along with a $1 million grant initiative for blockchain projects, The Block previously reported.
