DeFi Meets Intelligence: AI Agent Supercharges Ethereum Transactions Instantly

Griffin AI, a platform dedicated to merging artificial intelligence and blockchain, has introduced TEA

, an agent for executing transactions that aims to simplify DeFi tasks on . TEA Turbo interprets user prompts written in everyday language and converts them into actionable on-chain transactions, drawing liquidity from and , while also integrating native lending features from . This agent reduces complexity by automating tasks like analyzing liquidity, comparing routes, and assessing risks, enabling users to complete transactions through simple language commands.

One of the main hurdles in DeFi is the difficulty and inconvenience of managing multi-step actions. TEA Turbo tackles this by checking user balances, sourcing the best liquidity options, handling all calculations, and providing a clear transaction summary. Once users approve the transaction via their wallet, execution takes place automatically. This approach minimizes mistakes and increases transparency for users.

Oliver Feldmeier, Griffin AI’s founder, describes TEA Turbo as the foundational layer for agent-driven finance. As the system connects with other agents—like those handling research or risk—it enables the management of sophisticated transactions with human oversight. At launch, TEA Turbo offers features such as swapping tokens across Uniswap and 1inch, price comparisons, managing deposits and withdrawals from Aave pools, secure token transfers, and real-time balance monitoring in chat. Users can access the agent on the Ethereum mainnet and use it with major wallets including MetaMask, WalletConnect, and Ledger.

The latest version of the agent boasts significant speed improvements. Compared to the earlier TEA Test from Griffin AI, TEA Turbo is 89% faster, cutting processing times from 43.7 seconds down to 4.98 seconds. This acceleration is credited to a deterministic reasoning tree that encodes typical DeFi workflows for faster, more reliable execution, as well as the integration of 1inch and Uniswap for better routing and direct deposits with Aave.

Sergej Kunz, 1inch’s co-founder, commended the collaboration, highlighting that it demonstrates the intuitive nature of the 1inch API. He explained that the agent makes DeFi processes easier by identifying the best routes via 1inch before a user confirms a transaction, reinforcing the mission to make DeFi simpler and more user-centric.

TEA Turbo is one component of Griffin AI’s growing suite of AI-driven agents, which also features research tools and a no-code Agent Builder supporting more than 15,000 community-created agents. Looking ahead, the platform plans to expand to new blockchain ecosystems, support additional protocols, and add more advanced transaction capabilities. The company is also working to improve how execution, research, and risk agents interact and work together.
