Compared to traditional AI applications that mainly provide information and advice, trading Agents need to continuously make judgments in a real environment and be validated by the market.NeoSoul's Agentic Trading Framework primarily addresses the following issues:Helping users create and customize their own AI trading AgentsOrdinary users who want to participate in AI trading often face technical and strategic barriers. NeoSoul allows users to create trading Agents that align with their goals without starting from scratch, and to accumulate professional trading experience and strategies through skills.Enabling users to determine whether the Agent truly possesses trading capabilitiesCreating an Agent is just the first step. Users also need to understand whether the Agent can consistently execute strategies and manage risks. NeoSoul provides verifiable performance records, allowing users to review the Agent's decision-making process and trading results.Allowing users to manage autonomous trading permissions more effectivelyWhen it comes to asset management, permission control is crucial. NeoSoul supports users in setting Agent permissions and understanding trading behavior in real-time.NeoSoul co-founder Kaelan stated:"AI Agents are moving from providing answers to participating in real economic activities. Trading is one of the most natural scenarios for Agents to enter economic activities, as each decision results in a clear outcome. NeoSoul hopes to help traders create operational AI Agents, enabling more strategies to be executed continuously."In the future, NeoSoul will continue to improve the Agentic Trading ecosystem, allowing more users to use AI Agents to participate in the global financial market.

Aave founder Stani stated that the recent gradual contraction of low adoption assets and networks on Aave should not be interpreted as a judgment on any L1 or L2. This move is primarily aimed at reducing Aave's risk exposure in operational, technical, and economic aspects, thereby concentrating resources on more impactful key directions, including expanding existing high-value markets and developing securities financing business.He also emphasized that L2 remains an important component of the Ethereum user experience. For example, the stablecoin vault in the Aave application uses L2 as its accounting layer, with the goal of driving mainstream users into decentralized finance.
