The one Edwin recently opened is an AI-powered interface that aims to make decentralized finance (DeFi) interactions accessible to anyone. With a fully customizable dashboard connecting users to all their DeFi protocols, this innovative platform puts you firmly in command. With its simple chat-based interface, engaging just seems like having a conversation. Edwin hooks directly into browser wallets such as Phantom and MetaMask. This integration brings real-time wallet context to users’ DeFi experiences and simplifies DeFi trades with seamless suggestions and transaction on-ramps.
Simplifying DeFi Interactions with AI
Edwin’s main role is to simplify advanced DeFi protocols and processes for the average user. The platform does this by merging the power of intelligent agents, like ChatGPT, Claude, LangChain, with on-chain protocols. This integration allows their users to leverage DeFi advantages with the ease and intuitiveness of plain, natural language.
"Edwin connects intelligent agents like ChatGPT, Claude and LangChain to onchain protocols, enabling users to access DeFi through simple natural language interactions," - Edwin CEO Markin
With Edwin, users are able to perform a multitude of DeFi actions. Whether you want to swap tokens, lend assets, or find yield opportunities, it’s all possible through a simple conversational interface.
The platform is designed to work with all of today’s most popular protocols and networks. Among them are Solana, Base, Meteora, Jupiter, Uniswap, Malda, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Hyperliquid, DEX Screener, and Cookie3 API. By backing these varying protocols and networks, Edwin is able to position users at the forefront of a wide range of DeFi possibilities.
Security and Non-Custodial Approach
One of Edwin’s most notable features is its bold approach to security and user control. Edwin’s terminal is entirely off-chain, so there are no smart contracts in play. This key design decision greatly minimizes the attack surface and opportunity for exploits.
"We send the transactions directly to the supported protocols," - Edwin CEO Markin
Beyond that, Edwin is completely non-custodial meaning users always have 100% control and ownership of their funds. The decentralized, interoperable global space runs directly from the user’s own browser, giving control back and breaks the cycle of intermediaries.
"When you’re ready, it builds the transaction and prompts you to sign it. It’s fully non-custodial, secure, and works right from your browser," - Edwin co-founder and CEO Liran Markin
"Although with Edwin, the key detail is that users retain custody and sign every transaction themselves. That changes the risk profile dramatically," - ChainGPT investment director and Kima Finance executive Tomer Warschauer Nuni
A Gateway to the Future of DeFi
Edwin aims to create a gateway for the next wave of crypto users by simplifying access to basic DeFi benefits. The platform is designed to connect across multiple protocols, making it possible for users to take on-chain actions just through conversation. Beyond just creating a more user-friendly experience, this approach creates a whole new paradigm for how users think about and interact with crypto.
"Most projects stop at wallet connection — we go further by integrating across protocols and letting users actually do things onchain through conversation. It’s not just easier, it’s a new mental model for how people access crypto," - Edwin co-founder and CEO Liran Markin
"It’s like having a DeFi-savvy assistant that speaks your wallet’s language," - Edwin co-founder and CEO Liran Markin
