In the first days of 2026, it is time for the final AdEx AURA development update for the year, as well as a recap of the most important milestones as a whole for the last 12 months.
So letโs have a look at what happened between August and December 2025:
Vaults.fyi integration
We integrated the Vaults.fyi API into our backend. This API serves as an additional source of truth for the best available yield opportunities, enabling us to deliver even more user aligned recommendations. We further enhanced these recommendations by adding transactional support, allowing users to execute one-click strategies directly from the AdEx AURA interface.
API Launch & Hackathon
We launched the public version of the AdEx AURA API and celebrated it with a hackathon with $12K in rewards to showcase its usability. The insights gathered from this event helped us refine the AdEx AURA API into an exemplary product for AI-powered DeFi insights. There were so many good submissions that we ended up awarding an additional 4 prizes, apart from the promised 4 winners. You can find out more about the winning projects on the blog.
New UI for AdEx AURA
The AdEx AURA app got a facelift as part of the development of an AdEx app that will in future incorporate all products and services offered (AURA, Staking etc). Meanwhile we also started a branding exercise aimed at redefining the AdEx brand visual identity and creating a totally new positioning framework. These developments will allow us to better express the value of AdEx, increase market visibility and create a brand that resonates with both: degens and newcomers.

Technical developments
Defined internal taxonomy of crypto assets to further improve recommendations and reduce the risk of producing low-quality strategies.
Upgraded internal analytics systems: we added a feedback loop that helps catch incorrect recommendations. This data will be used to refine our system prompts, and in the future, additional agents will be added to automatically correct faulty recommendations.
Updated internal platform and token strategies models: with this change we will be able to provide more detailed data about available strategies to LLM models hence reducing AI hallucinations
Internal Admin Panel: We implemented an admin panel that enables us to add, remove, and modify strategies in real time, ensuring we can better react to changing market trends.
OpenAi Model migration: We detected an increase in the hallucination rate of the currently used GPT-5-mini model, so we have switched to the GPT-5 model
Alibaba Qwen model integration: Recently released Alpha Arena project by nof1, which evaluates models in live trading environments, provided insights into the performance of non-US models in crypto-related tasks. With Qwen3 Max and DeepSeek v3.1 leading the charts, we decided to integrate the Qwen3 Max model and benchmark it against our currently used models for our use case.
Strategies history: Weโve implemented a feature that allows users to view, rate, and share their strategy recommendations, all without needing to share their wallet addresses.
Prompt Management System: We are continuing to work on incremental improvements to our backend, that will allow us to faster iterate and test new prompt changes.
X402 payments integrated: We have integrated x402 payments into our api, allowing programmatic payments in agent-to-agent and MCP workflows.
DeFi Position Syncing: We started work on pulling usersโ DeFi positions. Once this feature is implemented, weโll be able to provide recommendations not only for idle assets but also for assets that are already deposited but not optimized for the APY they could be earning.
New Networks Discovery: We started working on a feature that will make it easy to add new networks to the AURA recommendations system.
AdEx participation in Devconnect
AdEx AURA returned to the events circuit after taking a short break. We sponsored two major events focused on agentic systems, Epic Web3โs โAgents Dayโ and โAgentic Zeroโ during Devconnect week in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in November 2025. Co-Founder and CEO Ivo Georgiev spoke on a panel covering DeFAI, prediction agents, and verifiable yield during Agents Day, and we had dedicated booths at both events. Check out the full summary of AdExโs participation in this article:
2025 review and look ahead
The progress weโve made with AdEx AURA in 2025 reflects not just development milestones, but a fundamental shift in how Web3 users interact with their assets and opportunities. This year we successfully launched the AURA demo, giving users a first taste of a proactive, AI-native Web3 co-pilot that analyzes on-chain behavior and delivers personalized insights without complex prompts, and further backed it with solid improvements in prompt engineering, performance, and multi-chain support.
We also strengthened the ecosystem around AURA, from integrating real-time on-chain data through the CoinGecko Model Context Protocol to upgrading the $ADX staking mechanism in a way that aligns with AURAโs expanding utility.
2025 was about building the foundation โ laying down the architecture, partnerships, and community tools that will power AURAโs evolution into a fully autonomous AI agent capable of delivering real-time insights, strategy execution, and seamless integration into wallets, dApps, and the broader Web3 infrastructure.
Looking ahead, weโre looking to expand beyond the demo and early tester phases into deeper automation, broader developer adoption, and even more powerful on-chain intelligence. This would be setting the stage for a future where Web3 is not just navigable, but intelligently guided by AURAโs capabilities.

Well said. The key difference isnโt AI itself, but who controls it โ centralized black boxes vs open, auditable systems. Thatโs where crypto AI really matters.
๐ง AI x crypto tokens arenโt just trendingโmany are leading the market because they sit at the crossroads of two megatrends. Hereโs whatโs driving the momentum:
Decentralized GPU power โ Projects like๐ป Render ($RNDR ) provide real onโchain compute for AI workloads, transforming idle GPUs into a marketplace for artists, developers and studios.
Peerโtoโpeer intelligence โ Tokens such as ๐ธ๏ธBittensor ($TAO ) reward AI models for contributing useful intelligence to a decentralized network, creating a โbrain marketplaceโ for machine learning.
Autonomous agents & data markets โ From predictive trading bots to secure data sharing, AI tokens enable smart services like $ADX aura that go beyond simple speculation.
AI tokens with real utility are attracting investment because they solve real problems. Weโre watching this intersection reshape both AI and cryptoโare you?
Analysts estimate that the AI economy will be worth $3.5โฏtrillion by 2033โbigger than the GDP of many countries. This isnโt just about consumer AI, itโs about decentralized GPU powerhouses like $RENDER and distributed intelligence networks like $TAO .
AdExโฏAURA is building the DeFi rails that connect this AI infrastructure to real yield.
- Adaptable architecture: AURA integrates with new chains and protocols as the AI landscape evolves, ensuring youโre always plugged into the next big thing - Insightโdriven DeFi: AURA uses advanced models and realโtime data to surface yield opportunities arising from AI networksโso you can turn infrastructure growth into returns.
The AI boom isnโt a bubble. Itโs a $3.5 trillion megaโtrend. $ADX AURA mega-trend
AI tokens arenโt just memes; the leaders like $RENDER and $VIRTUAL are dominating because they offer real GPU power and onโchain agent services. Decentralized networks prove that AI models can compete and earn rewards in an open market. This shift toward โinfrastructureโfirstโ AI mirrors our own roadmap at AdEx AURA. Hereโs what that means for you:
โ AIโpowered yield strategies: $ADX AURA taps realโtime data and advanced models to find the best yield opportunitiesโno hype, just real returns.
โ Infrastructure integrations: As more compute networks (think $TAO) and data protocols ($OCEAN, $FIL) gain traction, AURAโs newโnetwork discovery module will plug them into your strategy palette automatically.
โ Smarter recommendations: Our upgraded models (GPTโ5 and Qwen3 Max) cut through the noise to deliver actionable insights, mirroring the real utility thatโs driving AI tokens to outperform.
โ Oneโclick execution & position syncing: Execute strategies with a single click and soon see all your DeFi positions in one placeโbecause infrastructure should make life simpler.
The takeaway? Infrastructureโdriven AI isnโt just for token speculatorsโitโs the future of onโchain finance. With AURA, youโre not just watching the AI revolutionโฆ youโre benefiting from it.
๐ง From AI Insights to OnโChain Yield: AURA Leads the Way
The decentralized world isnโt just growing โ itโs evolving. Just as AI tokens like $TAO are pushing the limits of intelligence and memecoins like $PENGU are expanding onโchain culture, AdEx AURA is redefining how you engage with DeFi. After a year of building, hereโs whatโs new:
โ ย ย Vaults.fyi integration & oneโclick strategies: AURA now pulls realโtime yield data from Vaults and lets you execute strategies directly from the interface. More yields, less friction.
โ New UI & brand refresh: The AURA app has a sleek new look, while our branding exercise is positioning AdEx to resonate with both degens and newcomers.
โ Smarter models & analytics: We upgraded our internal taxonomy, analytics and models to reduce hallucinations and improve recommendations; Qwen3 Max and GPTโ5 now power your insights.
โ Coming soon: DeFi position syncing and new network discovery will ensure AURA understands every asset you hold and finds yield across more chains.
As we close 2025, AURA has become more than a demo, itโs a proactive, AIโnative Web3 coโpilot that analyses onโchain behaviour and delivers personalised insights. Ready to let AI supercharge your DeFi strategies?
๐We were on supporting EVM ecosystem in $ADX mostly, but do you think $SOL would be a good fit too?
A lot of x402 projects is building on solana. Almost one third of all 402 payments is happening now on solana. Most handled by Dexter and $PAYAI Also looks like the ecosystem lacks solid yield optimizing agents.
๐ฅ Strategic Burns Are Programmed in $ADX Tokenomics Top projects are introducing token buybacks or burns as a way to align protocol growth with token holders.
$UNI Foundation recently launched the UNIfication proposal, activating Uniswapโs long-discussed protocol fee switch. As a result, UNI token burns began, over 100M UNI tokens, worth $600M, have been burned. $AAVE DAO uses a portion of protocol revenue to buy back AAVE tokens. Last year, AAVE DAO bought back almost 120,000 AAVE tokens, totaling $40M.
Following these best practices, AdEx introduced programmatic burns. Last year, we burned 2 million ADX tokens, almost 2% of the circulating supply.
๐จAndreessen Horowitz (a16z) just dropped their annual summary: Big Ideas for 2026.
They are especially bullish on Ai Agents segents, their thesis is that: The internet is becoming the bank.
In the future, AI will move money for us automatically, without us doing anything. Payments will be fast and global, just like sending a message online but without any users interaction. Thanks to x402 payments will become instant, programmable, and fully automated.
Based on that prediction we think the following projects are worth watching: $EIGEN with their EigenCloud product: Eigen Cloud is a decentralized cloud platform built on Ethereum that enables developers to create verifiable, trust-minimized applications by combining blockchain security with offchain computation $ADX with their AdEx AURA AI Agents Framework: AURA is a Multi Agent system designed to onboard next billion users to crypto by simplifying traditional DeFi protocols through automations. Their AI Agents already processed addresses with TVL of over $200M $KITE infrastructure empowering autonomous multi agent systems to operate and transact with identity, payment, governance, and verification.
If money works like data that the internet can send anywhere, then the internet wonโt just help the financial system โ it will be the financial system
The circulating supply of $ADX is approx 148.9โฏmillion, and the max supply is 150 million, meaning roughly 99.1% of $ADX is currently in circulation ๐ธ
That means zero future dilution risk with almost all tokens already in users' hands, and all freshly emitted tokens are locked in our staking contract.
We asked $ADX AURA AI Agent is predicting with 99% confidence that we are in the bull market now. With BitMine $ETH staking all their treasury holdings and MSTR acquiring $BTC worth $116.3M being the biggest signals that markets picked up.
AdEx predicts that green candles will be dominating this week.
