The problem DynaVest solves
Problem
Current Problems in the DeFi World
Despite the rapid growth of DeFi, many users still face significant barriers to entry. Here are some of the key challenges:
- Hard to Get Started
Getting started with DeFi isn't easy for beginners.
It often requires hours of research just to understand the basics.
New users need to learn about wallets, tokens, networks, gas fees, and more—before making their first move.
The steep learning curve discourages most people from participating.
- Scattered Information
DeFi data is fragmented and hard to track.
APR, fees, and risks are spread across different platforms and protocols.
Users must jump between multiple websites and dashboards just to compare yields or understand risks.
There's no single reliable source for complete and up-to-date strategy info.
- Too Complex for Everyday Users
Lot of users often find DeFi overly complex.
Interacting with smart contracts, liquidity pools, yield farming, and staking involves multiple steps and technical knowledge.
Mistakes can result in lost funds or exposure to unexpected risks.
Many users give up due to the confusing user experience and lack of guidance.
Goal
DynaVest solves this by automating the research process, aggregating real-time data, and providing clear, actionable insights—making DeFi simple, smart, and accessible.
Challenges I ran into
-
AI Misunderstanding User Intent
One major challenge was ensuring our AI system accurately understood user inputs. LLMs can hallucinate or misinterpret vague queries.
How we solved it: We designed a modular AI Agent framework combining few-shot learning and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), which significantly reduced misunderstandings and improved response consistency.
-
Batch Transactions Across Protocols
Some protocols don’t support permit() or multi-call transactions, which made it difficult to bundle operations efficiently.
How we solved it: We experimented with different Account Abstraction (AA) wallets and explored ERC-4337 and ERC-7702 standards. This helped us create more flexible transaction flows compatible across diverse protocols.
-
Improving UI/UX for Non-Technical Users
Making the interface intuitive and friendly, especially for users unfamiliar with crypto or AI, was a big challenge.
How we solved it: We conducted online surveys and gathered user feedback. We also validated our design during a hackathon, where we received strong feedback from judges and mentors — and even won prizes — confirming that our user-first design had real demand.
Wallet UX
During the portfolio-analysis phase, users must submit multiple on-chain transactions across different protocols. To eliminate excessive pop-ups, we leverage Coinbase Smart Wallet and CDP’s batch-transaction and Paymaster services, allowing users to execute complex multi-step transactions in a single click with zero gas fees. After Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade (EIP-7702), combined with Privy’s embedded wallet, we can standardize this seamless experience.
