What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)? The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a new open standard created by Anthropic to help AI systems easily connect with tools, apps, and data. Think of it as a USB-C for AI — a universal plug that lets AI talk to external systems without needing custom setups. → Adopted early by OpenAI, it’s now being used widely across tech and Web3 → Makes it simple for developers to connect AI to business tools, APIs, and databases → Helps AI models access real-time data and take actions in the real world Why MCP Matters for AI Agents AI agents are smart, but they often don’t have live access to data or ways to act directly in external systems. MCP solves that: → Agents can fetch current data from APIs or databases → They can also perform actions, like updating a record or executing a transaction → This makes agents much more useful and capable MCP and DeFi 🚀 In the world of decentralized finance (DeFi), MCP is especially powerful. DeFi relies on fast data and smart decisions — and MCP helps AI agents do both. → Agents can track prices, read blockchain data, and act on trends → They can update liquidity pools, run strategies, and react to market changes → No need to build custom integrations for each platform Growing Use in Web3 Web3 projects are adopting MCP quickly. Some standout examples: → Arcdotfun launched Ryzome, an app store for AI agents powered by MCP → Unifai Network offers MCP tools for payments, swaps, and more → Story Protocol lets agents manage IP rights on-chain with MCP These tools make it easier for agents to work inside blockchain systems. Enterprise, Retail, and Dev Tools 🛠️ MCP isn’t just for crypto. It’s being used in other areas too: → Shopify and WooCommerce use MCP to let AI manage products, orders, and customers → Microsoft, OpenAI, and Databricks use it to simplify enterprise tools → Developer platforms like GitHub, Replit, and Sourcegraph use MCP so agents can help write and understand code This means smoother AI integration across many industries. What MCP Can’t Do: Agent-to-Agent Communication MCP is great for helping one agent connect to tools, but not for helping multiple agents work together. → It doesn’t support agents sharing info directly → It doesn’t allow agents to “listen” or respond to events automatically → It works with strict commands — not flexible teamwork or conversations Theoriq: Making Agents Work Together 🤝 To solve this, Theoriq Protocol was created. It helps agents communicate, coordinate, and collaborate. → Agents can talk to each other using natural language → They can respond to events, like market changes or new data → Theoriq adds rules, incentives, and security so agents can work in swarms This creates stronger, smarter AI systems that can take on complex tasks together. How MCP and Theoriq Work Together These two systems play different but important roles: ProtocolWhat it doesMCPConnects agents to tools and dataTheoriqHelps agents work with each other → MCP handles data and actions → Theoriq enables teamwork and coordination Used together, they unlock a powerful new future for AI. In Summary ✨ MCP is becoming a key part of AI development, helping agents access tools and data with ease. But for agents to collaborate, they need something more — and that’s where Theoriq comes in. Together, they create a foundation for a smarter, more connected world of AI — one where agents don't just act alone but work together to solve real problems.

🚀 The Future of Finance: Autonomous AI Agents in DeFi @TheoriqAI -Here are my raw, unfiltered notes from the discussion- 🌐 The Big Picture We’re witnessing the birth of a new paradigm: AI agents as the backbone of decentralized finance. This isn’t just automation—it’s autonomous, self-optimizing capital that operates without human intervention. Here’s what the brightest minds in crypto AI had to say: 🔥 Key Insights 1/. The Open-Source Revolution Closed AI systems (OpenAI, Anthropic) will lose to permissionless, composable agent networks. Why? DeFi’s superpower is interoperability, agents must seamlessly interact across protocols. --"Standards will emerge from use cases, not committees." -- 2/. Agent Coordination: The Next Frontier MCP (Model Context Protocol) and A2A (Agent-to-Agent) are early standards. But the real challenge? Reputation without identity. How do you trust an AI’s track record? --"Agents need skin in the game—staking, slashing, and proof-of-performance." -- 3/. The Killer App: Self-Custodial AI Imagine an agent that: Manages your portfolio non-custodially. Dynamically rebalances based on market conditions. Pays for its own gas fees. 4/. The 5-Year Vision Zero-person hedge funds: AI launches and operates DeFi strategies autonomously. Agent-to-agent commerce: AI negotiates loans, insurance, and derivatives on-chain. Hyper-personalization: Your AI understands your risk tolerance better than you do. 🛠️ Who’s Building This Future? @TheoriqAI CEO @ronbodkin @elizaOS CPO @Esk3nder @arcdotfun Founding Engineer @0xMochan @MorpheusAIs CEO @kcdenman @gizatechxyz CEO @renckorzay @autonolas Founder @david_enim 💡 Why This Matters Web3’s edge over Big Tech AI: ownership. You control the agent. You own the data. You keep the profits. The future isn’t humans using AI, it’s AI as a participant in the economy.

@TheoriqAI @PeiChen01 @ronbodkin @elizaOS @Esk3nder @arcdotfun Exciting times ahead for AI and blockchain! 🌟 The rise of decentralized agents means endless possibilities for our interactions—just wait until you see what's next! What kind of AI assistant are you dreaming of? 😏 $JLU is here for the ride! https://t.co/2FMw0PH5wJ

@TheoriqAI @PeiChen01 @ronbodkin @elizaOS @Esk3nder @arcdotfun @0xMochan @MorpheusAIs @kcdenman @gizatechxyz @renckorzay @autonolas @david_enim Stacked lineup of top AiFi builders this convo is gonna be full of alpha. Excited to hear insights from the frontlines of decentralized AI. Tuning in at 10AM ET! #AiFi #Web3AI

@TheoriqAI @elizaOS @arcdotfun @MorpheusAIs @gizatechxyz @autonolas I am looking forward to "Why AI in DeFi?". I believe that in this topic, calculated efforts will be instilled to break down the importance of Artificial Intelligence in Decentralized Finance; I am seated and eager to know. @TheoriqAI- Revolutionizing AI.
