- HeyAnon has launched Automate, a typescript framework designed to foster developer engagement and support a thriving, open ecosystem in partnership with IOTA EVM.
- AUTOMATE enhances the reliability of complex DeFi operations by leveraging schema-based, deterministic logic to eliminate guesswork and prevent errors in on-chain transactions.
HeyAnon, an innovative AI-powered DeFi protocol designed to simplify Decentralized Finance (DeFi) interactions, has announced the release of AUTOMATE, a TypeScript framework for DeFi protocols. In an announcement on X, the team revealed that AUTOMATE aims to act as a blockchain abstraction layer, seamlessly bridging DeFi and Artificial intelligence (AI).
1/ We’re thrilled to announce AUTOMATE, a game-changing TypeScript framework that makes it easy for any dev to integrate DeFi protocols into the Hey Anon ecosystem. Our goal? Become the true blockchain abstraction layer for DeFAI.
2/ Why another framework? Because strict tooling…

The framework initially supports IOTA EVM alongside other major Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks, including Arbitrum, Base, Avalanche (AVAX), BNB Chain, Kava EVM, and Sonic. To enhance its cross-chain compatibility even further, the team has announced upcoming support for Solana (SOL), making the framework increasingly versatile for both developers and users.
Key Features of AUTOMATE
DeFi is inherently complex, and on-chain transactions are often fraught with risks such as errors, misconfigurations, or even the loss of funds due to incomplete or invalid parameters. AUTOMATE tackles these challenges head-on with a robust security-first design philosophy, ensuring reliable and error-free operations.
One of AUTOMATE’s key features is its schema-based interactions. The framework enforces strict, typed interactions, preventing developers from deploying incomplete or erroneous configurations. Every on-chain call is validated against predefined schemas and patterns, eliminating the possibility of “hallucinated” inputs and ensuring that only verified data is processed.
Another hallmark of AUTOMATE is its focus on predictable execution. Whether AI or users initiate transactions, the framework guarantees safety and determinism by rejecting incorrect or incomplete data. This ensures that operations remain reliable and free from unexpected behavior.
Lastly, AUTOMATE prioritizes security for high-stakes DeFi operations. By reducing errors in critical processes such as staking or Bridging and swapping, the framework significantly lowers the risk of lost funds. This level of reliability makes AUTOMATE particularly well-suited for large treasuries, non-profit DAOs, and other mission-critical DeFi applications.
The framework further accelerates AI-powered DeFi adoption by supporting developer contributions through parallel integrations and a TypeScript-based onboarding process. It also ensures cross-agent compatibility, enabling seamless execution of on-chain transactions and advanced DeFi strategies.
HeyAnon’s DAO has proposed allocating 2% of unallocated $ANON tokens and $1M in USDC to incentivize developers through integration grants. Developers can earn rewards by submitting valid pull requests (PRs) to expand AUTOMATE’s support for new DeFi protocols or data streams. Grant amounts range from $6.9k to $420k, depending on the size and complexity of the protocol.
However, protocols already integrated into HeyAnon are excluded from prioritizing new contributions. Additionally, the Fast Track System allows the partner chains to offer extra rewards in their native tokens for high-priority integrations, which will receive expedited reviews.
AUTOMATE’s GitHub repository will be made public after a four-day DAO vote. If approved, developers can begin submitting PRs and earning grants. By unifying multiple EVM chains into an AI-friendly framework, AUTOMATE simplifies DeFi for users and provides developers with a seamless platform to integrate new protocols and expand the ecosystem.
