Project Overview

ConvictionFi offers a new paradigm for realizing the vision of DeFi × AI (DeFAI). With a single NFT mint, users can delegate conviction-based investing to an autonomous AI agent.

• Product Type: DeFAI NFT Protocol
• Tagline: “Mint Your Conviction. DeFAI Agent as NFT.”
• Target Audience: Beginner to intermediate DeFi users, ideologically-driven investors, Web3 natives

PROBLEM: DeFAI Is Just a Buzzword

Terms like “DeFAI” and “Vibe Trading” are everywhere—but they lack substance.

Most so-called DeFAI products suffer from vague use cases, fragmented user experiences, and an overall lack of clarity about what it actually means to "use DeFAI."

SOLUTION: DeFAI Agent as NFT

We built a complete, intuitive experience: the DeFAI Agent as an NFT.

• Users simply mint an NFT
• That NFT becomes a standalone AI agent managing the user’s capital
• No dashboards. No approvals. No ongoing management

USER FLOW: Just Mint NFT

ConvictionFi follows a 5-step lifecycle.

Only Step 1 requires your input — from Step 2 onward, your agent takes over.

1. Mint Your Conviction
   
   Choose a belief. Mint the NFT. That’s it.

2. NFT = AI Agent
   
   The NFT becomes an autonomous, on-chain trader.

3. Autonomous Execution
   
   The agent trades, stakes, or lends — no input needed.
   
   All activity is publicly reported.

4. Learn & Evolve
   
   The agent adapts based on market signals or strategy upgrades.

5. Exit or Transfer
   
   Withdraw via protocol rules — or sell the NFT on secondary markets.

Sample Strategy

1. SUI_MAXIMIZER

   • Aggressive accumulation of SUI and ecosystem tokens during market dips
   • Ideological Thesis: "Sui represents the future of blockchain scalability. Every dip is an opportunity to accumulate before mass adoption."

2. BTC_HODLER

   • Long-term Bitcoin accumulation with DCA and volatility exploitation
   • Ideological Thesis: "Bitcoin is digital gold and the ultimate store of value. Time in market beats timing the market."

3. STABLE_OPTIMIZER

   • Conservative yield optimization across stable pools and lending protocols
   • "Consistent yield generation with capital preservation. Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world."

SECURUTY MODEL: Why We Never Touch Your Wallet

Most DeFi apps require direct wallet transactions, creating unnecessary risk and inconvenience.

ConvictionFi uses a different approach: your minted NFT becomes both entry point and autonomous firewall.

• The minting price becomes your trading budget — no additional deposits or approvals needed
• Each NFT generates its own isolated smart wallet, completely separate from your personal funds
• Only the NFT agent signs transactions and takes action

Your risk is compartmentalized, your conviction tokenized, and your NFT thinks and acts independently — keeping your wallet safe.

TECHINICAL ARCHITECTURE: Walrus x NFT x AI

ConvictionFi leverages Walrus decentralized storage to ensure immutable and transparent NFT metadata for conviction-based trading agents.

Each Conviction NFT stores comprehensive data on Walrus including:

• Strategy parameters and logic
• Conviction statements and reasoning
• Risk limits and execution policies
• Agent version history and mint timestamps

The system utilizes Walrus's key features:

• Content-addressed storage with verifiable CIDs for data integrity
• Permanent append-only architecture preventing deletions or secret alterations
• Full transparency allowing anyone to inspect metadata via URI

This approach ensures complete audit trails as trading agents evolve through versioned updates.

Each NFT contains a Walrus metadata URI that points to the latest version while preserving access to historical versions for verification.

The JSON-formatted data includes strategy details, risk profiles, whitelisted contracts, and execution policies.

Since Walrus is append-only, strategy upgrades create new versions rather than overwriting existing data, ensuring full traceability of agent evolution over time.

This storage solution guarantees transparency, auditability, and future-proofing without requiring large metadata storage directly on-chain, while ensuring all strategy changes remain traceable and potentially subject to governance approval.
