Where is the real bottleneck of DeFi? It's not technical depth, but user experience.
After observing Web3 infrastructure for so long, I'm increasingly convinced of one thing: No matter how complex a protocol is, if ordinary people can't figure out how to use it, it'll always be stuck in a small niche. The concept behind the Blazpay project is quite interesting—they want to use AI to integrate DeFi functions scattered across various platforms.
Previously, if you wanted to do cross-chain transfers, swaps, or staking, you had to jump between multiple platforms, and just remembering the operation steps was enough to give you a headache. Now, with AI involved, the logic has changed: you just need to state your needs, and the system will allocate resources and match the optimal path on its own. This kind of "conversational operation" truly lowers the barrier to entry.
To put it simply, the next step for DeFi isn't to pile on more features, but to make existing features easy to use. What AI is doing is hiding the complexity in the backend and leaving simplicity for the user. This direction is worth watching.

Well said, user experience is definitely a pain point here. Just learning how to use things like Uniswap and Aave can drive away a lot of people.
I really like the idea behind Blazpay. Conversational interactions do feel nice—it saves me from switching between a dozen different web pages. But I still want to see how it actually works in practice, and whether the AI coordination is reliable.
That’s how DeFi is—even if you pile on more features, it’s pointless if nobody uses them. There really is a need for someone to play this “translator” role.

Someone should have said this a long time ago: no matter how impressive the technology is, if no one uses it, it's pointless.
I like the approach Blazpay is taking—conversational operations can indeed lower the entry barrier.
Finally, someone gets it: DeFi isn't about having as many features as possible; usability is what truly matters.
That being said, whether this wave of AI can actually solve problems still depends on the real user experience.
Right now, hopping across chains is honestly a huge hassle—I look forward to the day when everything can really be done with just a single command.
However, no matter how good the UX design is, if the security doesn't keep up, it's all for nothing.

That's true, user experience has always been a pain point. But can this conversational approach from Blazpay really help beginners? Or is it just another overhyped project...
