Velvet Capital’s Unicorn AI Wants to Make DeFi Smarter and Less Stressful

Navigating the world of DeFi can often feel like juggling fire — especially when the market moves faster than most people can research, evaluate, or even react. Velvet Capital, a project quietly gaining traction in the DeFi infrastructure space, is rolling out a tool that could help change that: Velvet Unicorn AI Copilot — your personal DeFi co-pilot, now live in beta.

But this isn’t just another chatbot with a crypto facelift. This launch is part of a much bigger plan to reshape how everyday users and institutional players interact with onchain opportunities — not just through dashboards and wallets, but through intelligent, assistive agents.

What Is the Velvet Unicorn Copilot?

In short, it’s an AI-powered assistant embedded within Velvet Capital’s Trading Terminal. It helps users spot new trends, break down token metrics, and surface actionable insights — all in real time. The idea is to offer an edge to DeFi users who don’t have time to comb through Etherscan, Dune dashboards, or Twitter alpha threads all day.

Here’s what the current beta version does:

• Alpha Discovery: Highlights trending tokens and hot narratives as they emerge across DeFi ecosystems
• Token Analysis: Breaks down tokenomics, liquidity behavior, wallet activity, and other onchain data to help assess project health
• Price Forecasting: Offers directional signals based on Velvet Capital’s in-house statistical models (think: data-driven, not hype-driven)

It’s designed to reduce the guesswork — or at least back your instincts with something more solid than vibes. The goal? Make better calls, earlier, and with more confidence.

To unlock access to the Copilot, you’ll need to hold 420,000 $VU tokens in your connected wallet — which also serves as a clever way to build stickiness into their ecosystem.

From AI Assistant to Onchain Agent

But Velvet Unicorn isn’t stopping at research and insights. The team behind Velvet Capital is thinking a few steps ahead, planning to evolve the Copilot into a fully capable agent. That means in future versions, it may not just suggest actions — it’ll take them.

Here’s what’s on the horizon:

• Executing trades on your behalf based on your intent
• Managing structured DeFi strategies (like yield farming, rebalancing portfolios, or rotating liquidity)
• Acting autonomously for DAOs, hedge funds, or even solo users who want a hands-off approach with smart guardrails

It’s all part of what Velvet Capital calls their DeFAI OS — a modular onchain operating system where strategy, execution, and AI all work together to automate smarter outcomes. If it works, it’s a leap forward for DeFi usability — without sacrificing flexibility or decentralization.

Binance Wallet Campaign: Try It Early, Earn $VELVET

To give the launch more momentum, Velvet has partnered with Binance Wallet for a limited pre-TGE campaign running through May 7, 2025. Participants can connect their Binance Wallet, complete a few social and onchain tasks, and earn a slice of an 8 million $VELVET token reward pool.

The campaign also nudges users to try the platform’s key features — the Trading Terminal and Portfolio tools — without throwing them into the deep end. It’s a low-barrier way to get a feel for the product and maybe stack some tokens ahead of the token generation event.

Why This Actually Matters

There’s no shortage of DeFi platforms shouting about AI, but very few are building AI in a way that makes the experience smarter and more human. Velvet isn’t just bolting on AI for the buzzword. They’re trying to build something deeper: a system where real capital can move in real time — driven by logic, not panic.

If DeFi is going to become more accessible to the next wave of users — or attract serious institutional capital — it needs better tools, cleaner UX, and more intelligent execution layers. Velvet Capital seems to understand that.

The Unicorn might just be the start.
